They’re pretty decent. Really depends on the temperature.

If the room is cool you hear the hard drives over the chassis fans. Power is totally dependent on the CPU. I put a 4790k in the R220 and it would sit around 45-55w average with two 3.5” drives.

I have a Dell R220 and a R240 which I’m looking to offload, free. They’re both specifically for short racks if you happen to be near central NC.

On the NTFS thing, Steam really does not like NTFS drives in my experience. Converting to Ext4 would be a good idea for gaming purposes.

Same as the other reply here, if you’re on your local network most likely be a 192. address. You can find this on the host server by the “ip a” command.

Personally immich is pretty advanced for someone new to homelab, you might find starting with homeassistant or something might be easier to get started. Also immich is super beta right now and prone to drastic breaking changes with each update.

From the little bit I can see in the screenshot I see a 5 starting the IP, assuming that’s a public IP.

Need to know, are you trying to access at home on the same WiFi network or outside your house on cellular?

Have you set up a reverse proxy or done any port forwarding?

There’s an AZ CLI for every PS Azure module though.

Jellyfin equivalent which doesn’t require a subscription for your own media library.

Use SwiftFin app instead on Apple TV, but better than the Jellyfin app.

This ^

Simple, no ads, and handles HDR super well

I’m sure google will fix that in chrome, like killing adblocker functionality.

Less HTTPS = easier government & advertiser data collection

Corporate nets use 802.1X authentication, risk of a DHCP hijack is very low.

As someone who works in large corporate networks, we absolutely don’t assign static IPs outside of core network gear, it’s impossible to manage a fleet of servers in this way with scaling in mind.

Instead of doing a manual action in two different places and having to keep them in sync, just do it once on the DHCP server. Setting a static IP on the server is superfluous.

good general advice until you have to try to explain to your SO the VPN is required on their smart TV to access Jellyfin.

don’t do this, use DHCP reservations instead so you actually have a list of all your servers and most routers register hostnames in DNS for you which is even better.

Pretty much any wireless AC AP from the last 10 years can hit those speeds with no headache, no keys, and no Windows.

An AP is just a WiFi point, you can use pretty much any AP with your pfsense router.

That’s what most of us do, using this windows VM just for WiFi is only going to cause you a headache in the future.

Maybe a stupid question, but isn’t it just easier to get a secondhand AP on eBay or something than deal with this windows WiFi BS?

You ask about future proofing but Windows 10 is EoL in 8 months.

My personal opinion, as soon as you’re charging and providing SLAs you’ve exceeded what you should be doing on a residential ISP.

I’d really recommend putting your app in a real cloud solution, which can provide actual load balancing via DNS natively for regional failover if you desire.

For what OP is asking DNS has no part in DNAT, they need a load balancer.

Personally, asking about high uptime on a residential ISP is the larger issue here, but alas.
