thought more than 2%
What confuses me is a survey earlier this year was 2.32%, so why the actual regression?
I’d have expected it to go up with more time to sell steam decks and whatnot, not regress by 15%.

I just uh, wrote a bash script that does it.
It dumps databases as needed, and then makes a single tarball of each service. Or a couple depending on what needs doing to ensure a full backup of the data.
Once all the services are backed up, I just push all the data to a S3 bucket, but you could use rclone or whatever instead.
It’s not some fancy cool toy kids these days love like any of the dozens of other backup options, but I’m a fan of simple and well, a couple of tarballs in a S3 bucket is about as simple as it gets since restoring doesn’t require any tools or configuration or anything: just snag the tarballs you need, unarchive them, done.
I also use a couple of tools for monitoring the progress and a separate script that can do a full restore to make sure shit works, but that’s mostly just doing what you did to make and upload the tarballs backwards.
I’m finding 8 years to be pretty realistic for when I have drive failures, and I did the math when I was buying drives and came to the same conclusion about buying used.
For example, I’m using 16tb drives, and for the Exos ones I’m using, a new drive is like $300 and the used pricing seems to be $180.
If you assume the used drive is 3 years old, and that the expected lifespan is 8 years, then the used drive is very slightly cheaper than the new one.
But the ‘very slight’ is literally just about a dollar-per-year less ($36/drive/year for used and $37.50/drive/year for new), which doesn’t really feel like it’s worth dealing with essentially unwarrantied, unknown, used and possibly abused drives.
You could of course get very lucky and get more than 8 years out of the used, or the new one could fail earlier or whatever but, statistically, they’re more or less equally likely to happen to the drives so I didn’t really bother with factoring in those scenarios.
And, frankly, at 8 years it’s time to yank the drives and replace them anyways because you’re so far down the bathtub curve it’s more like a slip n’ slide of death at that point.
Yeah I’ve been noticing that. It’s probably a case of it being cheaper for them than games, but I’ve also noticed they’ve not yet done a cycle where it’s ONLY freemium stuff, at least.
Next week, for example, is an Apex skin and a game. If it was JUST the skin I’d probably be less gruntled, but as it is, I find it hard to get too upset that I’m only getting 1 free game instead of 2.
Excessively patient. I’ve noticed there’s basically a 50/50 chance of any game I find interesting showing up for free on Epic eventually, so I mean, fine, I’ll wait a couple of years to save $60. Why pay for something that’ll eventually be given to you, paid for by some vulture capitalist’s dragon horde?
I take some of their money, get a free game: win/win.
…at this point, I’m pretty sure my Epic games library is way bigger than my Steam library, simply from the 3-5 free games a month that Epic tosses at you, of which like 1/3rd are actually pretty good.
Yeah. A space exploration game that has absolutely zero reason for you to explore anything.
I’m not sure if I’m more sad or angry that this is the best a company with no budget limits and no outside meddling can make.
100% Fortnite, since I’m too cheap to buy games or pay for yet another subscription service these days.
(Especially since about half of anything I’ve wanted off Gamepass has shown up for free on Epic Games a couple of months later or has been absolute slop - looking at you, Starfield.)

This is a luxury brand staple: it engenders loyalty because it makes the whales “better”.
You can’t buy certain luxury bags or watches or cars or whatever unless you have spent a giant pile of money on crap you may or may not want as the price of being allowed the special sales.
Same thing.
That’s fair: most probably don’t.
I appreciate a ‘this won’t work in Linux no matter what you do’ banner on things, though.
I went and whacked the scan library button on a 30tb library collection and it didn’t read all that much data (looks like under 100gb) and seemed to be pretty quick - maybe 45 seconds. Local drives and all that, so the speed of the scan doesn’t matter as much as the relatively small amount of data. If all you had was 1tb of media, I’d expect it to just be a couple of gigabytes, not huge amounts of data.
I’d probably double-check that however you’ve mounted the WebDAV share is supporting partial reads, since that really feels to me like the first place that something could be wrong that would cause excessive amounts of file transfers.
I mean, WebDAV is basically just HTTP.
Accessing a file over WebDAV will result in the file being downloaded, so it makes sense that trying to scan terrabytes of files will result in terrabytes of downloads.
You probably want to use nfs/smb instead, since that’s more designed for random-access type situations, though you’d STILL end up pulling all the data down since iirc jellyfin scans the entire file so you’d still be in the situation of having to download all the data even there.
Ooh and it’s a giant yellow banner you probably won’t miss, and not some two-shades-ligher-than-the-background nonsense.
Good job, Valve.
I’m going to get downvoted to hell for this but uh, I usually tell clients Squarespace is what they want these days.
Self-hosting something like Wordpress or Ghost or Drupal or Joomla or whatever CMS you care to name costs time: you have to patch it, back it up, and do a lot of babysitting to keep it up and secure and running. It’s very much not a ship-and-forget - really, nothing selfhosting is.
I’m very firmly of the opinion that small business people should be focused on their business, not their email or website or whatever, because any time you spend fighting your tech stack is time you could have been actually making money. It’s all a cost, it just depends if you value $20 a month or your time more.
If I had someone come to me asking to setup this stuff for their business, I’d absolutely tell them to use gSuite for email, file sharing, documents, and such and Squarespace for the website and then not worry about shit, because they’re both reliable and do what they say on the tin.
They state the code will be released after the first orders ship, which makes a certain kind of sense given this is a competitive space suddenly.
Though, I 10000% agree that there’s no reason to take a leap of faith when you can just wait like, uh, a month, and see what they do after release. It’s not like they won’t still be selling these or something.
Right, but you’re pulling way more power than the homeserver I’m running is, and at 10-15w it’s doing frigate + openvino based (on the igpu) identification on 4 cameras, usually 2 jellyfin streams at any given time, 4 VMs, home assistant, and ~80 other containers plus a couple of on-host services for NAS duties (smb, nfs, ftp, afp, nginx, etc.)
I was just surprised that a Ryzen U-series chip would be worse re. power usage.
You know, I think I did the thing I always do and forget how bad the idle power for Ryzen cpus are due to how they’re architected.
Like, my home server is a 10850k, which is a CPU known for using 200+w… except that, of course, at idle/normal background loads it’s sitting at more like 8-15w. I did some tweaking to tell it to both respect it’s TDP and also adjusting turbo boost to uh, don’t, but still: it’s shockingly efficient after fiddling.
I wouldn’t have expected a 5500u to sit at 30w under normal loads, but I suppose that depends on the load?
Ryzen 7, so definitely not a low power
It’s a laptop chip, and a 15w one at that so I wouldn’t exactly say that’s high-power.
I don’t really think it’s necessarily a deal breaker, but it’s caused a lot of people a lot of nagging little issues and might be worth making sure you’re not going to run into anything.
I’m super stoked at the appearance of the nas appliance form factor with hardware that’s got performance that isn’t rotten potato level.
Next rebuild I do is certainly going to be one of these things, though that’s probably a billion years away since my current nas is hilariously overpowered.
Looks like it’s a i226-v nic, which uh, has a reputation for being kinda shit.
It’s not a universal problem, but it’s probably something to keep in mind.
I had a similar issue (different media types but) where Jellyfin would not, for any bleeping reason, update the metadata to reflect changes in the media.
After an annoying amount of fiddling I just yanked the library in it’s entirety (as in, it was deleted) and then re-added it and on the new-library-scan everything updated.
Annoying, and maybe not entirely viable depending on how your library is structured - I have ~6 libraries for different things, so it wasn’t that big of an issue - but it did resolve it.
