Your question is like asking how to convert a cake into flour, sugar, milk, butter and (unbroken!) eggs.

I bought a 9500t NUC off ebay for 150$, and that is 6 cores and has minimal power usage. I'd definitely go the enterprise scrap yard route.

Actually #2 may be a brain fart for me. I'm probably thinking of the setting in the Arrs that changes file date to release date.

I have used pi-hole recommended config. I have used unbound recommended config (which feels incomplete and confusing). I have tried tweaks here and there. End result is this. So far, the longest I have had success is with unbound docker container. The issue with that is that it seems to not be caching entries.

AFAIK it's just a webapp.

F12 should open the browser developer tools, one panel will be the network requests.

You don't need NAT for a Firewall. NAT doesn't provide any security benefits what so ever. If you put something on the internet it should always have a Firewall. Use either ufw or firewalld. I don't see your argument since anything the bots can each will get probed.

Hey welcome to the fun of multiple drives. If you have the drives available then truenas (which uses OpenZFS) is better IMHO than hardware raid as it is just more resilient and you can (most of the time) move zfs data/pools around easily. I'm guessing ye olde Dell has a Dell raid card, and whilst they are ok, zfs is way better nowadays. If you value your data then parity and mirroring make for way better usage of drive space if you are careful. I mean zfs easily can support losing a whole drive (or 2 if you wish) without losing data, and the rebuild speed is pretty much 10X faster than old dell raid cards IF a drive does fail. Truenas has some great features built in for backup etc. and a decent truenas setup is way more flexible than a lot of the cheaper pre-built nas boxes as well. Of course, your mileage might vary, but I wouldn't be without my truenas setup now. It also serves via shares to the android tv box for movies etc. I don't even bother with plex. Whilst you might keep a single drive as a backup of the backup that pretty much wouldn't be needed in zfs as the data is pretty damn secure with parity, but you might not agree. The other beauty of using zfs is that it is perfectly happy to use sata/sas/m.2 drives or whatever as long as they are accessed directly, though with an old dell raid card if it doesn't support it mode or pass through for the drives it doesn't work - zfs just needs simple access to the drive

I just installed a port of AndroidTV on mine and then changed over to an android tv box because they have a remote that just works etc. Connected to our surround sound system>projector it is just easy to do. I don't even bother with plex anymore as the NAS box just serves files over ethernet/wifi and the box can, if needed, just download the file. You can then, of course install apps on android and do it that way if needed

I agree Wordpress isn't cool BUT I have so many years that I still find it the quickest way to launch a site for a lot of people. Oh and the block editor is fantastic once you get used to it, I wouldn't go back now...

Ah very cool, thank you.

I saw many engineering sample intel cpus on second hand markets and they were sold at lower prices than corresponding mass production cpus

it's just so pushy and hard to remove. it's asking for abuse.

It's an i3 6th generation with 16gb ram. I use an ssd adaptor on my x16 pci because the m.2 is not recognizing the ssd.i do not know how to fit multiple hdd on it to get a good redundency

I'm probably telling you wrong, but I've only been able to do the cs-blocklist-mirror and firewall-bouncer. There are a bunch of the scenarios that are remediation components. If you look at something like cs-cloudflare-worker-bouncer, well I don't have a use for the cs-cloudflare-worker-bouncer remediation component, so that doesn't get installed. Same for remediation components like cs-aws-waf-bouncer. So yes, there are unlimited remediation components, just not all will fit your use case. As I understand it, you can even write your own, tho I've not dabbled in that aspect. If all you want to do is look at Docker logs and the occasional syslog, then I would think Dozzle to be quite capable in conjunction with something along the lines of lnav.

Just to clarify, VectorChord is actually the company that makes pgvecto.rs (the postgres vector extension), so you're both talking about the same thing lol.

Honestly I totally disagree, this community is about avoiding SaaS and controlling the important part of the stack to keep your own data under control. If the service you need is just a provider of vm for your own business, is not a contradiction and it is still selfhosted as long as you control it.

You can get 4 if you make them 1 core each.
