There’s different kinds of backups. For this you don’t need off-site storage.

For this I set up zfs auto snapshotting which means when I delete stuff it isn’t really deleted because a snapshot is still pointing at it until it rolls off the time window.

Both zfs and btrfs can do this but you do need to change the filesystem to use these which can be a lot of work.

Why not just host on v4 and v6 from home?

LastPass said the exact same thing. I won’t be a big target like they will though.

I think the main thing for not messing it up is just make sure you keep it updated. Probably set up auto updates and auto backups.

Because when whatever company gets a data breach I don’t want my data in the list.

With bitwarden If your server goes down then all your devices still have a local copy of your database you just can’t add new passwords until the server is back up.

Ram is important but it has to be vram not system ram.

Only MacBooks can use the system ram because they have an integrated GPU rather than a dedicated one.

Stable diffusion is the same situation.

Only the GPU and primarily the vram matters for LLMs. So this wouldn’t help at all.

TrueNAS is pretty good and they have a Linux version which will have better compatibility with your game servers.

I’m running FreeBSD I actually like it a lot.

I picked it for zfs. A lot of the ways things work seem cleaner and simpler than on Linux and zfs is awesome with the copy on write snapshots and filesystem compression and all that. I like rc.conf and pf is way nicer than iptables and even when you upgrade it automatically makes a snapshot so you can rollback.

Sometimes I do need to patch and compile things because people seem to not know freebsd exists but that’s really the only downside.

Plex supports extras just rip them to separate files. It’s true you lose the menu though.

It’s just that the compression on the disks is not very good and you can easily compress them a lot more without really any noticeable loss of quality.

Why not just convert them and save 20gb of storage space?
