  • No. The responses are the way they are, because people who gave them are already thinking they joined some elitistic “muh sikret klub!” group.

    Simple “eh, it won’t fix the problem, and here’s why and how YOU can help” would be preferable, but no, special elite force of lemmy underground is too privileged to bother.

    Thank heavens not everyone is like that. Saves the number of times I have to hit “block the idiot” button.








  • I find this comment section a prime example of dickish hivemind seething over nothing.

    There’s a dude, obviously quite fresh in the ways of Mastodon. He probably doesn’t realize all the nuts & bolts supporting the system and how it all works. He is asking a question that is logical, but it needs clarification, like “it doesn’t work like this, my man”.

    Instead he gets “Hsssssssssssssss, selfhost it, hsssssssssssssssssssss, interloper, hsssssssssssssssssss, you want to destroy this place, hssssssssssssssss…”

    Get a life, eejits.



  • I see nothing on the video, so can’t comment on that, but could you test the switch by connecting a router to the 1st port and a notebook to every other port one by one, to check whether the devices talk to each other?

    I assume that the router acts as DHCP server, and the notebook is set to DHCP address lease, so no additional configuration is needed…


  • I can’t provide precise answer, since some services rely on HDD performance, while others enjoy big amount of RAM.

    Personally, RAM and reliability are two things I’m after when entertaining the idea of a home server.

    For example: I’m about to build a very simple file server + jellyfin + printserver + RDP rig and it’s going to be based on DELL 5040 + 8Gb RAM + 4Tb SATA, running… Windows 10 Pro. 🤠

    I perceive both QNAP and Synology as massively flawed tech, that can’t be relied upon. Too many occurrences of both going haywire for no good reason, crashing, destroying HDDs and so on and so forth.

    For home appliance, I’d rather buy an old i3/i5 rig, upgrade it a little, put some storage space on it and rely on a scheduled batch script to send critical folders/files from all connected devices to it, than buy this overpriced and overhyped piece of crap.
