/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/pfsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.
>What software should I run? Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin to replace Netflix, nextcloud to replace Googlel, ampache to replace spotify, the list goes on and on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.
>Why should I have a home server? /hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your Any Forums skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Any advice on setting up music streaming from my server lads? I was kind of hoping that's what MPD did, but it appears not. I basically just want to have my music collection on my server and a client program on my other computers to connect to and listen to it. At the moment I'm doing this kind of janky mount as network drive and have my programs search the network drive. Is there anything better?
don't feel bad, I once spent a whole afternoon frantically trying to fix a friend's computer, I thought I'd completely bricked it, wouldn't even power on. What was it? Busted USB port on the case was shorting +5v to ground, and the PSU noticed that and shut itself off immediately. Unplugged it and everything worked.

Why are there random IP addresses from in my edgerouter traffic analysis? Did I get pwned or is it just a bug?
Henry Collins

I'm budgeting a few drives, just to toy around with different raid configs (dev moving in to admin, because learning is fun). Obviously there are some super cheap HDs out there which I won't touch. Anything wrong with a handful of WD blues?

I just fired up yt-dlp for the first time in a long time and it seems to be really prone to throttling now 😢 Is that just me, or are they plagued by problems now like how youtube-dl got rekt? Did everyone switch over from yt-dlp to something else?
Ryder Hill
womm, maybe try using cookies
Matthew Hall
No, if anything yt-dlp has a problem with too much speed, since the ratelimit option is broken right now.

idk if this belongs here or /sqt/, but what's the cheapest used mini pc that can function as a home router?
Ethan Wright
> cheapest used Local and depends on the moment > function as a home router Actually just get an OpenWRT compatible access point and/or router? It'll use less power. Available from like $25 even new, but used it gets as low as it gets.

stop buying brand names. set up a proper raid arraid and then it doesn't matter what poorfag drives you fill it up with
Jaxon Wood
You know what? You're right. Buy a spare and it doesn't matter. With the small IO of a home system for fucking with, outside of horrendous QC issues, there should be nothing to worry about.

I would still rather get a better HDD less downtime and things going wrong the better also not much more money if you shuck
