Unraid is the GOAT for self hosting. An excellent way to learn VMs, Docker, and Linux in general. They have an “app store,” which is community templates for Docker containers, and have all the *arr programs you could want. Drive management is super easy, too.

You require additional lesbian gas.

It’s designed to scale. Plus it’s nifty to be able to add ~3 tags to a docker container and then it’s instantly online and ready to be used.

Think of it as more modular.

I personally used Traefik, but only because I’m a masochist and it would be useful to know in IT workplace.

Traefik + CrowdSec + CowdSec Traefik Bouncer.

Traefik handles the traffic, and said traffic has to get a green light from CrowdSec + Bouncer before it can go anywhere.

The concept of CrowdSec is honestly super awesome.

Reverse proxy with CrowdSec, which has setups specifically for Jellyfin. Docker for everything.

Get Unraid for your server OS. Its nuts how good it is at being beginner friendly, while being robust when needed. It has a docker app “store”, as well as plugins, and a virtual machine manager as well. It also has a very, very nice Web GUI: you manage the server from another PC you use in your house.

I can not overstate how much I learned by starting with Unraid.

Same, with their current 14 beta.

The CPU was done in BIOS on an ASUS x570. For me it was under AI Tweaker > Precision Boost Override > Curve Optimizer.

The GPU was done in the driver software on Windows. Or LACT if on Linux.

Unraid + Unifi network equipment. Everything is scheduled and automatic, with the exception of large Unraid updates, but those are only every ~6 months. Every night mover from cache SSD - > HDD array, then checks for plugin updates, then docker container updates, if Monday morning SSD trim, and if 1st of the month does an array parity check/repair.

After all that if it’s Monday morning, Unifi will check for firmware then software updates.

Sometimes a docker container will get a breaking update maybe once a year, and then I just go look @ documentation and see what needs to be changed to the config to fix.

It will help some, and will also help temps, but AMD hardware does well with undervolting, especially the 5800X3D. I undervolt mine, and read the consensus that - 30 across all cores should be achievable for anyone, unless they’re really, really unlucky. My 6800 XT I also only run @ 92% Voltage, and it runs cooler and faster now, too.

The woman in grey, in the middle of the thumbnail, looks like she had surgery done to look like the gigachad meme.

Zen rocks, I under estimated how much faster it would be with the AVX2 build!

Not sure if it’s exactly what you’re after, but Unifi gateways can install NextDNS with a script provided by NextDNS. It’s all the same lists as Pi-Hole, and possibly more intelligent ones, too. Bonus points are it makes every device in your home use encrypted DNS, as well!

I’m using it on a Dream Machine Pro, and the new Cloud Gateway Ultra.

It’s all default except for the theme. I have key borders on. Transformer LM on for prediction.

I saw a video of Rossman doing a presentation on FUTO’s keyboard, originally. Eventually he made a statement that he was pissed off that every single keyboard that wasn’t Gboard made him feel like he was drunk typing. I immediately said “holy hell, me too!” and went and downloaded it.

Just checked, it seems fine to me. Can use it for any purpose, and can modify for non commercial.

My ability to type accurately, and with good auto correction on FUTO’s is immensely better than using HeliBoard.

My ability to type accurately on FUTO’s was immediately way better than on HeliBoard.

Check out FUTO.org’s keyboard, best gboard alternative I’ve ever used.

The Aurora store is also a nice front end replacement for Play Store if you go the sandboxed Google services route.

Also, F-Droid Basic is out, which is just a newer F-Droid.

For an excellent Pixel launcher alternative, check out Lawnchair 14’s Beta 2, or nightly from their github.

Adguard home is better than pi-hole. Both use the same lists, but adguard has built in support for DNS over HTTPS and TLS, and IMO a better UI.
