Bro. How could you do that and not post to tell other people the things they like are wrong?

Nyuma nyohma nyohmaye

Couldn’t say, for me it was way way easier than ESXI which was my first break into the space. And also more complete / straightforward than bare metal which was what I had been doing before unraid.

I paid for the lifetime license. No regrets.

Because it’s easy and does all the hard stuff out of the box? Also any sized drives!

Oh hi I picked up Linux for the CLI and shell and the UI for me has nothing to do with it.

There is no easy way to break into the scene and unraid is a one stop shop. So you want to set up a few little projects on your own? It’s learning containerization, learning networking and NAT, figuring out filesystems (and shares and share locations) and backup strategies, how to integrate with VPN, deployment strategies and templates (think Ansible, docker compose, make scripts, etc). There’s a shitload to know and not a “for dummies” place to learn it.

Considering the “easy” first project of ARR suite + jackett, integrate with transmission, and integrate with jellyfin or Plex: this is not a couple hours of work if you’ve never done it before. With unraid it’s probably one video tutorial and less than an hour? Idk I haven’t done that one yet. But it’s a common request.

There are a lot of things that need to hang together for a good homelab to work, and unraid for me has made it so I don’t have to spend all my time doing plumbing and background work to try a project and see if I even want to use it.

I would absolutely do a 101 on self hosting, but it seems everybody has different priorities on what to host and how so it’s probably not cut and dry to implement.

Holy fuck that is practically impossible to read. It’s like something I would expect to see in grandma’s facebook circles, not from an alleged former teacher.

If you’re looking from sense from maga folks you’re not going to get it, if you want to hear from voting liberals you will get your confirmation, but yeesh. There are, I believe, three questions buried in there and I can’t even bring myself to join the search party.

Not sure how you get yours, but I’ve always been a coffee drinker. I cut my caffeine way down by slowly mixing more decaf into the grind when I make the pot. Instead of drinking half a pot or a pot of regular, now I get the equivalent of about a cup or cup and a half if that and it was easy to do.

If it’s soda you could experiment with drinking it from a big cup and doing the same trick mixing in decaf maybe?
