So top, IMO, is Reaper. Not FLOSS, but the developer has consistently had a reasonable user price set, you can download and install free, you get a short nag screen. If you like it, buy it.

She ain’t in the ground yet…

Keep going.

No worries, just wanted to make sure you knew the difference there.

Also, check out shinobi, motioneye, and Nx witness. Frigate is oriented for detection, so not the ideal answer if you have no interest in detection.

Fedora and Proxmox are substantially different. Proxmox is meant to be used from a web interface only, and is meant to host virtual machines and containers.

An extremely appropriate use for you, BTW.

Fedora can be a desktop or a server, as can Debian or Arch or pretty much anything else, including installing qemu (vm’s).

The proxmox benefit is specifically that web interface, IMO, along with (if you had more servers) clustering. Which is not to put down proxmox at all, its on almost all of my servers (including a bunch for work).

Jellyfin is a server, yes, but you can still control Jellyfin clients - https://github.com/xnstad/jellyfin-remote

That said, there are many options. You can use vlc or juk and control them both from a web interface. You don’t need a server solutions for audio playback, you want a local media player.

And - well I was going to say surprisingly, but its really not - the post I saw just before this was about transit use and a fear of violence. Which, of course, is ultimately due to not addressing the unhoused.

Mini PC

Overwhelming majority of my servers are tiny/mini/micros.

This is my issue now, I need more storage and the prices are ridiculous. I dont see them getting better soon, either, so I’m probably going to buy new.

Self hosting wise, not much, just ran through updates (I prefer to do this manually) and set up a new box which will host another proxmost host and NAS.

The mobo/CPU that became the new server has been replaced with an Asus prime x370-pro and a spare 1700x to be used as a new endeavoros desktop (their defaults are close enough to what I want I dont bother with full manual install). Mostly need it for a KDE 6 box for dev/testing to go alongside the instances of Trixie/Sid, since I’m considering arch for some work stuff that Debian won’t fit the bill for.

Warning

☢️ This is an early-stage project, and while the driver and nmdctl management tool have been tested in both virtualized environments and some physical setups, data loss is still a possibility. This is mainly intended for DIY enthusiasts comfortable with Linux command line usage.

Use at your own risk, and always have backups!

No, I would not trust it with important data.

This was going to be exactly my suggestion

Just to point out its utility, I use rclone at home to sync my data elsewhere, and I use it extensively at work for internal systems and client systems.

Sync for replicating one site to another, bisync for bidirectional. Extremely flexible.

But aren’t you glad that choice was made?

I sure am 🥵

My FIL got back to me this morning, he’s only using an editor and printing his own music, so unfortunately no recommendations to be had there sorry.

I want to caveat with I have not used any of this. This is just a link I sent to my FIL so he could find something to fit his needs, maybe it will help you too.

Yup. MS has been more blatant and ruthless, where Apple has quietly taken (or even just taken credit for) the works of others over the years. For Apple you’ve got the ipod click wheel (creative), the original GUI (PARC), slide to unlock (noenode)… Apple, much like MS, has been doing this sort of stuff from the start.

If the individual is the only one in charge of the project, and controls the money, there really isnt a difference.

I’m glad my decades old grudges against apple could be informative!

Ehhh… Apple took over CUPS development.

Michael Sweet of Easy Software Products developed CUPS in the late 90s. Apple hired Michel Sweet about a decade later and bought the source code.

After he left apple (another 10 years or so later), OpenPrinting forked it and Michael Sweet continued working on it there.

But no, Apple did not develop CUPS. I don’t blame you for thinking they did though.

Edit: Forgot to note.

Source: I’m fucking old now and was using Linux before CUPS existed. Holy shit was it great once it went IPP from LPD.

Edit 2: Sorry because Apple does this a lot and this one still annoys me - Safari was built on KHTML, aka KDE and Konqueror. So anyone trying to say that Apple made WebKit all in house would also be wrong.

Apple likes to do that. Take stuff and then pretend they made it. Especially from open source projects.

Ladybird started as a SerenityOS browser, and is now being made standalone.

Same (problematic) developer.

It wasn’t for Ladybird. It was for SerenityOS.

The irony youre laughing about isnt there.
