I think I know why I like #SelfHosting so much. It’s very anticapitalistic in the sence that I get to own the services I host instead of just paying rent on them.
So picking up an #IntelArc A380 seemed like a good idea at the time to get a reasonably cheap, low-profile GPU with AV1 support that can run off bus power alone.
Unfortunately I didn't do my own research, and the consumer #Intel discrete GPUs don't play particularly nicely with virtualisation. Intel has seemingly intentionally gimped the consumer Arc cards by removing virtualisation support, while their data centre GPU line on almost identical silicon support it.
There's ways around all of that, which I think I've just about worked out, but the #Linux Intel drivers (i915) don't play particularly well with Linux guests either, which has given me a whole new set of challenges to solve.
All in all, it's be a fun three days, with I'm sure another fun three days of trial and error ahead.
I'm launching a new sister project to the self-hosted apps directory I launched a few weeks ago and am giving the #fediverse a sneak peek because I need your help!
What are your favorite companion apps for the self-hosted services you deploy?
They must support software that can be self-hosted, be relatively up-to-date, and can be closed source.
Comment below or send me a DM with your suggestions. Thanks!

Hi, I am using this little box with an intel n100
In #proxmox vm, to get a fast #nftables linux vm, should I select 1 socket 4 cores?
Or will nftables work the same speed on 1 core? #linux
I've been overwhelmed with the positive feedback from the community since last week's launch and have been trying to add projects as fast as the requests come in.
Two new features since launch: License details added to the project tiles and a "Recently Added" sort option for users to easily view projects added since their last visit.
Next feature on the list: RSS feed for newly added project notifications
I want to setup a netboot setup that boots into a menu of a lot of OS installers. How would you set that up? Right now, the only thing that seems to do what I want is iVentoy, but I was wondering if I have other options.
I have a collection of movies and TV shows on my NAS being served by Jellyfin. I have a "Kids" #Jellyfin account with access to a subset of this media.
I want to transcode just that subset with specific settings and dump it to external storage. Ideally this would happen whenever I plugged that external storage into the NAS.
Is there an off the shelf solution to this or do I need to roll my own?
I’m impressed enough with native (systemd-nspawn) #NixOS containers that I think I’m going to use them for more parts of my home server as a way of providing a tad bit more isolation between services.

Im wondering if anyone here in the #it#homelab#computer side of masto has any advice or experience with the Dell PowerVault MD1200 - MD1220?
I do have a PowerEdge 720 server with space for a PERC card to attach the DAS to. Im just wondering if anyone knows if these two particular PowerVault's are strictly SAS only and can only take firmware locked drives? Im thinking about getting one but dont want a massive paperweight.
Der Bau des neuen #HomeLab ist hier in den letzten Tagen/Wochen etwas eskaliert und inzwischen frage ich mich, was ich hier überhaupt warum mache und habe Angst vor einem enttäuschenden Ergebnis (in puncto Stromverbrauch). 🙄😔
I am trying to get a new nextcloud docker instance running.
The nextcloud engineer knows what the problem is I am having.
However, he does not give the answer because he insists I should "read his documentation better"
Well his documentation is 30 pages of text, incomplete and confusing. (1/2)
