I don’t quite get what this is supposed to do. Is it basically a software to allow jellyfin/plex users to request media without needing a radarr/sonarr account?

it just means they’ll be a passive node, but still able to seed if they connect to the other node (edited). It’s the setup I have and I manage to keep an overall ratio >1, especially if the torrent is popular.

yes, the system will likely use some swap if available even when there’s plenty of free RAM left:

The casual reader1 may think that with a sufficient amount of memory, swap is unnecessary but this brings us to the second reason. A significant number of the pages referenced by a process early in its life may only be used for initialisation and then never used again. It is better to swap out those pages and create more disk buffers than leave them resident and unused.

In my recently booted system with 32GB and half of that free (not even “available”), I can already see 10s of MB of swap used.

As rule of thumb, it’s only a concern or indication that the system is/was starved of memory if a significant share of swap is in use. But even then, it might just be some cached pages hanging around because the kernel decided to keep instead of evicting them.

if my system touches SWAP at all, it’s run out of memory

That’s a swap myth. Swap is not an emergency memory, it’s about creating a memory reclamation space on disk for anonymous pages (pages that are not file-backed) so that the OS can more efficiently use the main memory.

The swapping algorithm does take into account the higher cost of putting pages in swap. Touching swap may just mean that a lot of system files are being cached, but that’s reclaimable space and it doesn’t mean the system is running out of memory.

potentially relevant: paperless recently merged some opt-in LLM features, like chatting with documents and automated title generation based on the OCR context extracted.

along with the compose.yaml file, unless I need it in a different drive for any reason

btw, the prices of managed runners are going down, not increasing

https://docs.github.com/en/billing/reference/actions-runner-pricing#standard-github-hosted-runners

still good to have a self-hosted alternative though

ah right, my bad

fwiw, you can self host a GitHub actions runner

I’m the only user of my setup, but I configure docker compose stacks, use configs as bind mounts, and track everything in a git repo synchronized every now and then.

def possible, cloudflare DDoS their own dashboard a few months ago with some react code

I think you need something like restic with a retention policy

https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/stable/060_forget.html#removing-snapshots-according-to-a-policy

--keep-{hourly,daily,weekly,monthly,yearly}

other solutions that implement similar policies are kopia and rustic

the advantage of using an off the shelf solution is that it’s almost certainly more reliable than what anyone can come up with in a few hours, and, it works with incremental backups, so your space requirements are drastically reduced depending how often you run it.

Intel has some GPUs that are more cost effective than NVIDIA’s when it comes to VRAM.

Arc A770 is selling for $370 in the US, and the new B50 for $399, both with 16GB.

B60 has 24GB, but I’m not sure where to find it.

everyday to once a month, depending how often I use the server

IME usually waiting longer to apply larger updates causes more issues than smaller and more frequent ones

lol the readme reads “a not so terrible” but the repo description reads like

A terrible web ui and RPC server for yt-dlp

yeah, I adopted it last year and I probably wouldn’t have picked it today. I’m glad that despite of that, in the end it’s just an S3 compatible storage and, thanks to that, it’s not too difficult to replace.

We do it for an immediate benefit not for some hypothetical apocalyptic scenario result of a half baked conspiracy theory.

It’s a bit like calling people who camp in the woods, fish, or rock climb “preppers” because these would be useful skills after the modern civilization.

this is one of the most misused templates

fwiw, I used Kopia for around a year, but eventually the backup got corrupted with a BLOB not found error and there was no way to fix it.

similar to this issue, except that nothing would fix or improve the situation https://github.com/kopia/kopia/issues/1087

and because it seemed to be an issue with the repo (not just with a snapshot), the remote copy was also borked. I couldn’t even list the snapshots.

I’ve since migrated to Rustic (though Restic might be more reliable today).

This seems to be the a similar issue too, but I was nowhere near the scale of this user. There are other similar reports that may or may not be linked to the same root cause, so it’s hard to say how rare this problem is.
