A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I finally finished my first iteration of my Minilab including a very smooth migration from the old server yesterday so I can go to the service side of things again. I plan to get some kind of selfhosters VPN for external access to stuff that's not exposed to the internet, I'll have to investigate which one.

Tried to use my fifteen year old intel atom home server for 4K videos with Jellyfin. Probably could have predicted that, but it was veeeery laggy 😄 no way that old of a processor can transcode 4K videos in real time. It is useful for backups though.

Does it have QuickSync support? If it does it might be able to handle a few 4k transcodes.

Alternatively I wonder why the video is needing to be transcoded in the first place, maybe you can get it playing natively.

It was one of the cheapest variants of intel processors, so I highly doubt it has any sort of transcoding support. I have resorted to using my desktop pc for streaming, since it has a much better CPU.

Worth a look, any Intel CPU with onboard graphics that's not horribly old will have quicksync on its iGPU.
