Will Hopkins 🌈📸<p>Hey <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelab</span></a> and <a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> gang, I need your advice. I have a Synology DS218play that is really showing its age. It's time to upgrade but I'm not sure what to get.</p><p>Storage-wise, I'm doing just fine. Only a couple TBs. I use this mainly for storing my personal photos, Synology Drive, etc.</p><p>I'm interested in the DS723+ but I read that it's pretty locked down to Synology hardware. Is there a decent FLOSS option that doesn't make NAS maintenance my hobby?</p>

But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth.

Alejandro<p>Since using Proxmox seemed totally overkill for just using a virtualized Windows10, I reached out to Quemu &amp; VirtManager. It has not been the easiest task in the world, almost two hours to understand the cryptic error messages and solve them.

So the #synology X25 refresh lineup just popped out. Should be arriving in May.

RS2825RP+ (AMD V1780B, 10GbE)
DS1825xs+ (AMD V1780B, 10GbE)
DS1825+ (AMD V1500B, 2x 2.5GbE)
DS1525+ (AMD V1500B, 2x 2.5GbE)
DS925+ (AMD V1500B, 2x 2.5GbE)
DS725+ (AMD R1600, 1x 2.5GbE)
DS425+ (Intel J4125, 1x 2.5GbE)
DS225+ (Intel J4125, 1x 2.5GbE)
DS625slim (Intel J4125, 1x 2.5GbE)

Nothing major apart from network and RAM upgrades. Steady as always

BLACKVOID.CLUB · NEW x25 Synology model lineupMid-year means new Synology NAS models with the x25 suffix. What models can we expect in the next year?

I thought my old home server was not the cause of some of my problems because its resource consumption rarely reached 50% CPU and RAM. However, the new one, a much more powerful server displays streaming video and runs all other services for the local network at lightning speed.

I still have a lot to learn about home server hardware.

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 84 ✨

After spending 24 hours doing Olympic-level mental gymnastics, trying to find a way to self-host my videos NOT on PeerTube (I considered Wordpress's VideoPress, embedding videos from NextCloud, uploading straight to Ghost...) I have capitulated.

Yes I will go with #PeerTube.

Deciding factor: the need to have subtitles (not so easy if you host your own videos).

So yes I will set up my own instance (it would cost as much as donating to an admin... because video hosting/streaming is resource intensive).

Oh dear I will have ANOTHER Fediverse account in addition to Mastodon, GoToSocial, Pixelfed, Friendica, Sharkey, Misskey, Lemmy, MBin and PieFed. I need to sit with this thought for a bit :ItsFine:

Folks, video is HARD (making videos and distributing them, that is)

Edit: SPECIAL THANKS to @stereo @Bro666 @erick who offered incredible advice (while I was doing my mental gymnastics). I really appreciate your help! 🏆

🏕️ my adventures in #selfhosting - day 83 ✨

Dear Fedi friends, do you have any experience with #Wordpress and their paid add-on #VideoPress – that allows you to basically turn your Wordpress site into a streaming hub for your videos?

This week I'm exploring self-hosting videos on PeerTube and also via other options (Wordpress, Ghost, etc.).

I just heard about VideoPress and I haven't come across anyone using it, so I'm curious 🤗
