NVMe Recommendation

Looking for some brains trust recommendations on good NVMe drives to use for home servers. I’ve managed to get Samsung 980 Pros for good prices in the past and haven’t had any issues but I need a few more 1TB drives and wondering if there’s some cheaper options people have had good experiences with?

Anyone using "docker run" instead of "docker compose"?
  • Well today I learned something! I’ve been using docker-compose for 5+ years now and I never happened upon the addition of compose to docker haha.

    It’s also the issue with the internet and all the fantastic guides which even if they were written 12 months ago, are already out of date!

  • Intel is quitting on its adorable, powerful, and upgradable mini NUC computers
  • The article makes it sound they cost over $1,000 (USD?) and were impossible to find but here in Australia I never had any issues finding and unless you were going for the extreme versions, there closer to $5-600AUD which made them a great fit. All we can hope is that there’s a few other brands who are willing to fill the space with equal quality products.

  • Why some prefer Plex over Jellyfin
  • Plex has a client app on just about every single media player out there and they have a simple single sign on solution.

    So I personally run both Plex and Jellyfin, Jellyfin for myself as I’m willing to put up with some of the hoops I have to jump through and Plex for everyone else who just gets an invite email, creates an account and suddenly has access to all of my content on every single device they own.

    Once jellyfin has reliable apps on every App Store and a simple way of getting non-tech savvy users onboarded I’ll move everyone over to jellyfin. Until then, it’s just for me.

  • Sub titles out of sync when resuming
  • Does the problem remain if you skip back 30 seconds or more? I’ve found in the past with other software that doing so can resolve some of these issues. Is it a particular client you’re using?

  • Router Port vs VPS Reverse Proxy
  • Especially when people get into things like Sonarr and Radarr as their first foray into self hosting it’s not hard to see why they might assume that there is security in obscurity and think that there is no risk to opening up those applications directly to the world!

  • Router Port vs VPS Reverse Proxy
  • I think Cloudflare Tunnel is awesome for situations where you want to deploy one or two applications without getting a full reverse proxy like Traefik or Nginx handling everything especially if you’re dealing with CGNAT. Also, if you don’t want to manage your own authentication solution for locking down apps, Cloudflare makes these easy to apply to your applications.

    So for users who once would have (and still do) open ports directly to each individual application with little to no authentication in between, these solutions offer a turnkey option to fix a lot of things that would otherwise have been out of reach.

  • Router Port vs VPS Reverse Proxy
  • This doesn’t really apply if you’re port forwarding to a specific device. In that case you know that you have told your firewall to forward port 80 & 443 (for example) to your web server and you know what ports that has open. I would not be using UPNP on the other hand as that seems dangerous especially in the IOT era.
