Proxmox. I’ve been using it and deployed jellyfin in a container, they have a bunch of one-click deployments and it’s great. Or you can just use a VM to group Docker containers together. Having a beautiful web interface is huge, Plus being able to access that interface from anywhere via WireGuard/Tailscale is great.
If you do choose to go down this route, there is a “no-nag proxmox” script somewhere, and it will disable some warnings and give you deeper customization options. Well worth a look!
I’m out of the loop, what is the advantage to coreboot?
Yes! It runs on an old gaming PC for me, without flaws
I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven’t noticed? A lot of the time I’m using Snapchat out of the house, I haven’t bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)
This is me with those stupid “Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx” ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).
To their credit, they’ve stopped claiming they’re cheaper than groceries
Underrated comment right here lol
I’m lucky - I’m in a Midwest town as well (between 1500 to 3000 people) in the US. A couple of years ago, fiber got installed. I’m getting about 900Mbps down and 99 up, no data cap, for $84/month. Before that I also had Mediacom, and the data cap was infuriating. So glad I could switch!
Set up NextCloud, sync your photos to your own NextCloud server, and you’re good to go. The crazy thing is it’s becoming trivial for even a non-technical user to set everything up. Tail scale means there is no reason to put forward if you are just using it for personal use, and you literally just have to log into tail scale with your Google account on the server and your phone. You can run next cloud in a virtual machine with virtualBox, and that’s literally it. You don’t have to deal with updating, being stuck in PHP or dependency hell, none of that. Seriously, we are at such a crazy time in history where you can set up your own cloud infrastructure with an hour of work for even an non-technical user, and stop paying for iCloud photos or Google photos storage each month. It saves you money and improves your privacy
You can scrub shorts on mobile (might have to pause it first), but not desktop for some reason…
