    I solved my no display issue on my server. I couldn’t even get the BIOS on output. After taking the entire thing apart and testing all the components it turns out my Tv broke itself with a firmware update and couldn’t receive input on any of the HDMI ports…

    Reinstalled Dropbear for remote LUKS unlock after a SSD failure.

    SSD failure was two weeks ago or I’d say rebuilding the server from backups and further polishing my Ansible playbook.

    I managed, without ever trying, to convert a friend to swap to Linux about a month ago.

    Today I’m driving over to give him my old old server so he can start self hosting. He’s super keen on getting started.

    So not my success, but ours? One more person joins the community today!

    Discovered and got psittsa up and running, a cool little project that combines Piper (TTS engine) with a web frontent that allows users to copy-paste text or URLs and to either stream the audio from the browser or download it as mp3. Apparently it even does clean-up of old files behind the scenes.

    I finally buckled down and built a music server. I had a ton of FLAC from before sources but never found the right software stack to make it a good replacement for the typical streaming services.

    It took about a month of beating/breaking/resetting and removing unnecessary software. In the end it was way simpler than I originally thought and required very minimal resources.

    In recent weeks samba became unstable for using external storage, finally came around this week to use sshfs instead. Seems stable for now, all I could ask for 👌

      Samba is great, but it’s hell when you need multiplatform support… I have some weird fruit thing going one to support MacOS :/

      I can’t remember why, but I gave sshfs a try but stayed why samba.

    I finally got around to installing Jellyfin. Still trying to get hardware transcoding working. I think I have it set up, but it still wants to use the CPU. I’m thinking permissions but I ran out of time.

    Fun project.

      I think QSV is the new “easiest” way if you have an Intel CPU. Here are some docker compose values that might help:

          group_add:
      - "110"
      - "44"
    devices:
      - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128

      110 is render

      44 is video

      You can grep render /etc/group to find your values.

      I found CPU accelerated transcoding to be as effective as using GPU acceleration for my small media server setup. Nvidia wasn’t worth it for me.
