what are some advanced linux distros that don't have me compiling everything?

  • use the chaotic aur repo for Arch

    Automated building repo for AUR packages

    It's not safe to use because it just compiles AUR packages. However, it's good practice to have your data like personal info, game saves etc. in a encrypted vault away from the devices you use everyday. Even my boomer parents get this, I tell them their NAS needs be open like a safe with their Yubikey.

  • I absolutely agree. Unraid is well worth the price.

  • If you are running a media server, depends what you going to do with it. Storing media without transcoding you don't need much, ex-gov computer from last 10 years x86_64 CPU that could store a HDD, you could use openmediavault (Linux), Unraid (paid - linux) or freenas (freeBSD) in a JBOD config and a ssd for cache (so you can serve databases, and metadata quickly, like plex or Jellyfin) and it will be much faster than MyBook Cloud.

    Transcoding media, that is converting media from a format to another format so you can be compatible is a different story. You will need at bare minimum intel with quicksync or a fast CPU for software encoding.

    Generally with DIY NAS software, you load a docker, point the docker directory (fake) to your jbod directory and it will just deploy on the webUI port you assigned it too.

    Generally I will do this imo. Cheap intel PC (eg. Ex-gov) with a HDD > upgrade to SSD for a cache drive > DIY PC with plenty of SATA ports > upgrade to NVME > Cheap GPU for transcoding OR SAS card for more harddrives.

    If the data is really important, make sure you have a parity drive and a backup solution.

    For the people coming in asking what app for Lemmy. You don't need it. Lemmy is great on a mobile browser.

    You can quite clearly tell when the Reddit apps stopped working on this graph of lemm.ee traffic 📈

    Does anyone else find it comfy here having the local relevant Australian related stuff come up here first?

    You choose what instance you are on. Quit the pseudointellectual whining.

  • I need examples. I am trying to find some.

    The only whinging I seen so far is tankies whinging about the potential of Nazis coming on this platform. All they need to do is hold up a mirror.

    Also, genocide denying instance like lemmy.ml secretly blocking kbin.social.
