Not sure, but it is still active with like 80 contributors. It’s much the same as the original with a couple of extra features and more languages, so transition should be minimally painful, maybe even export - import level. I’ve been using it for years as I saw the original wasn’t very active, but they’re pretty much (essential) feature complete and stable, which is good. Apparently, google thinks that’s bad.

As noted elsewhere Syncthing-Fork is still going strong, and a drop-in replacement, it’s on F-Droid.
You dropped this - /s
Nice to see tech jesus here (getting this right?), normally in my rss feed…
Keen.
And a few people will get extremely rich by siphoning off a percent or two, circle of life baby /s
rclone supports lots of services
including Proton Drive …
Thanks for that, worth knowing.
True, but OP refers to ‘some cherished items’
I assumed the context here was torrenting rather than streaming, download blu-ray remuxes and encode to your liking.
A 16Tb manufacturer recertified drive is USD160 which should sort storage (and later get a second for offline backup). I’m actually holding out until I get GPU encode (apparently CPU is somewhat better, but power considerations, maybe next gen). Do wish the scene would get on with switching, though, are we dinosaurs?
RetroArch doesn’t have Xbox/PS2/switch
No, but EmuDeck does, along with RetroArch… Best have a look before starting.
More power to you if you want to strike out on your own, but you may find it quicker going to join a larger project at this stage, you’ll have people to ask questions to, if you choose well you’ll learn best (or good) practices, etc. Maybe EmuDeck itself? In the end the language doesn’t matter much (maybe avoid Perl, PHP and JavaScript at the start), once you get the concepts down it’s easy to switch to another. You’ve got time, take some to skill up.
Absitively, use case here IMO is set and forget autoupdate to stay current and SELinux (which actually reduces surface)
For a media server speed matters little (5400rpm is plenty), if you’ve only got one drive, warranty is king. Thing is you shouldn’t only have one drive, drives will fail, and warranty doesn’t get your data back, so you plan for it. At the very least, you should look at getting an offline backup as soon as possible, now you don’t care if your drive fails and can get the cheapest ones. Ideally, you also set up a RAID5 (or Unraid, or mergerfs+SnapRAID) on your server, now you just get a replacement drive and rebuild. Remember RAID is not a backup, it doesn’t protect against accidental deletions for example, so you still want the offline backup.
Also, don’t sleep on manufacturer recertified drives, as long as you have a backup they’re significantly more cost-effective.
TLDR: set yourself up so that a drive failing is not a problem.
Nah, I’m suggesting you actually use some human agency. I’ve found it pleasing, a couple of hours can often net thousands of hours of listening time. You’ve got a list to start from, why not give it a go ?
While I love the *arrs for video, I found Lidarr pretty damn awful, perhaps it’s OK with usenet but not torrent without specialised private trackers. Anywho, I found the Soulseek network, spiritual successor to Napster, which has most of everything, usually at high bitrate, and take pleasure hand curating a personal library. I like the Nicotine client. There’s so much more music than video that it makes sense to be choosy, I’m my own personal DJ…
I was here to say the same as pezhore, separating storage and compute is almost as important as separating church and state. Muck around, break things, have fun, all the while your data is safe (don’t forget offline backups though). The MS-01 is a fine looking box, but any old NUC / SFF will do for your purposes (modern AMD cpu or a graphics card if you need / want plex transcode).
Edit to add, old laptops are great compute nodes (maybe moreso from my ex corporate thinkpad laptop bias, but still)…
Great to hear!
