I’d recommend a solid backup client. This isn’t something you want to find broken when you need it.

Kopia is what I use, and it supports local (LAN) targets, as well as cloud storage if you want 3:2:1 for some or all of your data. Good luck!

Theres a Romm app in ports you can use for this.

I was interested until I saw the crypto stakes to vote on changes baked in.

Similar setup here with a 7900xtx, works great and the 20-30b models are honestly pretty good these days. Magistral, Qwen 3 Coder, GPT-OSS are most of what I use

Good luck! It’s been fantastic for me.

I don’t use aquasuite, I use Linux with Cooler Control. Sorry, I assumed you were also on Linux with the sub.

I use an Aquacomputer Quadro, which has fantastic support.

Yeah, similar sized environments here too, but had good experiences with Ansible. Saw Chef struggle at even smaller scales. And Puppet. And Saltstack. But I’ve also seen all of them succeed too. Like most things it depends on how you run it. Nothing is a perfect solution. But I think Ansible has few game breaking tradeoffs for it’s advantages.

Wow, huge disagree on saltstack and chef being ahead of Ansible. I’ve used all 3 in production (and even Puppet) and watched Ansible absolutely surge onto the scene and displace everyone else in the enterprise space in a scant few years.

Ansible is just so much lower overhead and so much easier to understand and make changes to. It’s dominating the configuration management space for a reason. And nearly all of the self hosted/homelab space is active in Ansible and have tons of well baked playbooks.

I’ve seen this one, is it the one you meant?

What controller?

Dances with Smurfs

This is correct for a given transaction, but there’s no consensus needed to open a Bitcoin wallet. That is usually just a private key in an encrypted envelope.

Alabama’s state slogan is “Thank God for Mississippi”, because they can at least point to one place where things are worse.

Audio mixing, Photoshop, Blender, CAD, etc.

Lots of creative applications.

FWIW, Ploopy is a massive force in the open source hardware game. Mice, trackballs (their specialty), headphones, and lots of other items.

The Polynesian people had many ways of detecting land far beyond the horizon using ocean currents, temperatures, weather patterns, animal movements, and others which they used to island hop all the way through the Pacific Islands.

I have little doubt it was a well informed theory before they got into their vessels.

So our containers have a controller which has a state machine which has an orchestrator which has a toolkit?

Modern transistors aren’t just silicon though. The silicon is doped with various materials, presumably gallium, boron, arsenic, phosphorus, and cobalt, among other elements.

Steel tongue drum is so mystical to me. Amazing, relaxing sound.

Can I guarantee? There are no guarantees in self hosting. By this logic you can never move away from Plex. There’s always unknowns. There’s always new issues to trip over. Plex is hardly without it’s own warts, but because they’re ‘known’ to you and your users nothing else will ever be able to measure up.

It’s a logical fallacy and a trap.

I set up Jellyfin basically overnight when the Plex pass changes occurred. Reverse proxies are trivial, as are docker containers, don’t let the anecdotes about things being hard or VPN being needed intimidate you.

There were absolutely bumps in the road. I had to make users for each person and email them customized sign-up links. Yes, that kinda sucked, but that’s the price for running and controlling the authentication yourself instead of though a 3rd party service that can and absolutely will eventually use that data to snoop.

Most of the time, once sent the link the users were fine, 9/10 of my users had no further issues and quickly adapted. For the last 1/10, I had to trouble shoot a few things and eventually ended up recommending a different device to connect with (it was an old TV with a really old version of Plex for TVs, they ended up buying a $40 Google TV device from Walmart and got set up that way).

The whole time I was running both Plex and Jellyfin so the migration process could happen at my speed.

My point is this: no, it wasn’t painless to switch. Yes, some tech support was required. Yes, the user who was getting hundreds of dollars (annually) of streaming services effectively for free had to shell out a paltry sum to upgrade and actually enjoys their experience much more now. No, that didn’t make it impossible or not worth doing.

I’m not saying what’s best for you and your users, and I’m absolutely not guaranteeing you’ll have no issues beyond these, but I hope you understand your hands aren’t actually tied, you’re just boxing yourself in.
