Graphic designer, home labber, food junkie. I break expensive things. I usually can’t fix them.
I’ve been using it and have had zero problems so far. Just scrolled down to find White Zombie the other day.
Unfortunately I have no solutions for you. All I can tell you is that I’m running the latest version of PLEX, and iOS 17 on an iPhone 13 mini, and I plug into CarPlay using the USB to Lightning Plug cord. Not sure if any of that info is helpful for comparison.
That’s awesome. I am not very familiar with tailscale, but it sounds like the solution will work out great.
I will second trilium. I use their sync server in a VM (which is backed up with the rest of my VM’s so its easy to drop back down should something happen). The app appeals to me, even after using Obisdian for the past 6 months (i’m a fan of markdown as well).
I know this won’t help you add notes on your phone (unless you open the server up to the outside world so you can access the web interface) but I recently have been messing around with a Trilium sync server at home. I’ve been using Obisidan for a while but swapped back to Trilium on a whim. So far i’ve been loving it.
This. Smart TV’s are horrible. I want my dumb TV back.
I would go smaller with lower power hardware. I currently have Proxmox running on an r530 for my VMs, plus an external NAS for all my storage. I feel like I could run a few 7050 micro’s together with proxmox and downsize my NAS to use less but higher density disks.
Also, having a 42U rack makes me want to fill it up with UPS’s and lots of backup options that could be simplified if I took the time to not frankenstein my solutions in there. But, here we are…
I have everything in its own VM, and Proxmox has a pretty awesome built in backup feature. Three different backups (one night is to my NAS, next night to an on-site external, next night to an external that’s swapped out with one at work - weekly). I don’t backup the Proxmox host because reinstalling it should it die completely is not a big deal. The VM’s are the important part.
I have a mini PC I use to spot check VM backups once a month (full restore on its own network, check its working, delete the VM after).
My Plex NAS only backs up the movies I really care about (everything else I can “re-rip from my DVD collection”).
I’ve been using Swiftfin on my Apple TV with zero problems. Its a lot more simple than Plex.
I do have a fair amount of music on there. I am able to get to white zombie using the arrows on the side to scroll through the list of artists.
