Ahh, that’s valid. I’ve been wanting to build a (relatively) small 16TB SSD NAS for video editing, after which I could dump footage to my main NAS. SSD NAS systems can definitely make sense depending on your use case. Hell, you can even game off of them if you’ve got 10gig networking.

Why do you turn off the NAS at night? Reminds me of my grandparents turning off the wifi at night.

There’s also https://www.distrosea.com/ for an ever easier trial.

I understand what you’re saying. What would make GrayJay open source? Allowing for community contribution?

Edit: I looked it up thanks to your unhelpfullness, and open source seems to mean making the code available for the community to use, modify, and share, which Grayjay seems to do. I’m pretty sure I’m right here, but I do want to hear your definition and argument. Is your issue that the license doesn’t allow others to make money using the source code?

By the acronym, opening up the source code to the public would make it open source. What is Grayjay missing to be open source then? Accepting contributions?

It’s free, and I see an official Github repository containing the code, is that not foss?

Sure, that’s why I paid for Plex Pass. Plex isn’t free.

You’d be better off directly donating.

Yeah the thought of ceasing updates scares me for that reason. Better to just stay up to date imo.

They should have to justify that

Have you worked somewhere before? Yeah, they should, but they won’t. It’s easier and cheaper to say no to everything unless there’s a serious tangible business reason that you need to use it, at which point they’ll look into it.

My company has rejected a bunch of stuff with the only reason being “Security Risk” with no further reasoning provided when asked. It’s super aggravating.

They can’t really say no to a free app

What? At my workplace there’s a bunch of stuff we aren’t allowed to install that’s free with the reasoning being security concerns.

Damn I’ve gotta set up one of these, whether it be this one or paperless. The text recognition in photos would be huge.

I’m new to docker and all of my shit stopped working recently. Just wouldn’t load. Took about a half hour to find out that old images were taking up about 63GB on my 100GB boot partition, resulting in it being completely full.

I added the command to prune 3 month old images to my update scripts.

Yeah, all the threads I came across when I looked into this were like “Self host everything! Except email” so I haven’t looked into it.

Thanks for the explainer, that makes a lot of sense.

They said kilawatt hours per how, not kilawatts per hour.

kWh/h = kW

The h can be cancelled, resulting in kW. They’re technically right, but kWh/h shouldn’t ever be used haha.

This is a factual but irrelevant statement

Watt hours makes sense to me. A watt hour is just a watt draw that runs for an hour, it’s right in the name.

Maybe you’ve just whooooshed me or something, I’ve never looked into Joules or why they’re better/worse.

Mate, kWh is a measure of electricity volume, like gallons is to liquid. Also, 100 watt hours would be a much more sensical way to say the same thing. What you’ve said in the title is like saying your server uses 1 gallon of water. It’s meaningless without a unit of time. Watts is a measure of current flow (pun intended), similar to a measurement like gallons per minute.

For example, if your server uses 100 watts for an hour it has used 100 watt hours of electricity. If your server uses 100 watts for 100 hours it has used 10000 watts of electricity, aka 10kwh.

My NAS uses about 60 watts at idle, and near 100w when it’s working on something. I use an old laptop for a plex server, it probably uses like 50 watts at idle and like 150 or 200 when streaming a 4k movie, I haven’t checked tbh. I did just acquire a BEEFY network switch that’s going to use 120 watts 24/7 though, so that’ll hurt the pocket book for sure. Soon all of my servers should be in the same place, with that network switch, so I’ll know exactly how much power it’s using.
