What are good harddrives to use with servers in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] ryan_harg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 days ago

That's a good hint, although I wouldn't mind too mich. personally. My server is located in the basement.

I don't keep track actively. I noticed problems when reading a file and looked at the drive with smartctl for that reason. Does anybody know how to keep track actively?

that wouldn't be a problem for me, as my server is located in the basement. But good to know!

my currently failing drive is a WD as well... 🥴 I bought it a year ago, I think...

I was thinking actual hard drives, not SSDs...

I have quite an extensive collection of media that my server makes available through different means (Jellyfin, NFS, mostly). One of my harddrives has some concerning smart values so I want to replace it. What are good harddrives to buy today? Are there any important tech specs to look out for? In the past I didn't give this too much attention and it didn't bite me, yet. But if I'm gonna buy a new drive now, I might as well...

I'm looking for something from 4TB upwards. I think I remember that drives with very high capacity are more likely to fail sooner - is that correct? How about different brands - do any have particularly good or bad reputation?

Thanks for any hints!

How to rip copy-protected DVDs on Linux in 2024 in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] ryan_harg@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

That's exactly what I was looking for - I came across MakeMKV before, but couldn't find a recent Linux version - didn't think of Flathub, though. None of the guides that come up if you look for dvd ripping on linux mention it, though... Thanks mate!

Strangely, playing was working fine. Just when I try to convert it has sync issues... I'm probably just too simpleminded to make it work that way, but VLC doesn't make it easy to do it right either, I guess...

How to rip copy-protected DVDs on Linux in 2024 (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I feel this is kind of a dumb question but I can't find a solution that's working for me:

every now and then I have the need to rip copy protected dvds. In the past I have used Handbrake with libdvdcss. But now there only seems to be flatpak versions of Handbrake for linux and these versions can't access the libdvdcss library.

VLC should be able to do the job but for a specific dvd I wnt to rip now, I produces out-of-sync video/audio tracks and I haven't been able to succeed.

I can't believe ripping dvd's can be that hard. Do I miss something obvious? Any tips are appreciated, aside from just download it - I can't find the respective media anywhere...

is Privado VPN good? in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] ryan_harg@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 months ago

you could look into other ways of pirating, that don't necessarily require a vpn, instead. in may country it's mainly problematic to use torrents, because you automatically are sharing stuff as well. IRC is something that I never had a problem with, for example. you're only downloading and it doesn't cost you anything. there are xdcc search engines out there. The downsides are that it's a bit nerdy (is it a downside. though?) and you'll mostly find current mainstream content.

what's the technical basis for this anyway? is it safe to use without a vpn (ie. is it using p2p connections). didn't find something immediately in the docs, maybe someone can shed some light?

Get notified on Mastodon for new Github releases (codeberg.org)

I'm selfhosting several services, mostly based on docker containers. Many of these are managed on Github and publish releases there. What annoys me is that I regularly miss updates.

I'm also quite active on Mastodon so I thought it would be handy to have a bot automatically scanning for new github releases and posting a new toot for every new release.

The bot can be configured to scan multiple different github repositories and publish to different mastodon accounts.

I have set up accounts for:

https://mastodon.social/@navidrome_releases
https://mastodon.social/@vaultwarden_releases
https://mastodon.social/@dockerpihole_releases
https://mastodon.social/@tempo_releases
https://mastodon.social/@unifidocker_releases

You can use the notification feature of Mastodon to get a notification, whenever a new post is published. Just follow an account and hit the little bell icon on its profile page.

Here's the code, if someone is interested in that:

https://codeberg.org/ryan_harg/github-releases-bot

Is this something that you people find useful? Which other services would you like to see covered in that way?

New community for Navidrome (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

After using Funkwhale for some time, I've recently set up Navidrome as a music streaming server and I'm well impressed about the easy installation and quality of the software. Seeing that the official community channels are all outside the fedicerse I have decided to create a Lemmy community for folks interested in the topic. It is an unofficial community, but it is linked from the main Navidrome website, by now. If that's interesting for you, I'd love to see you there!
