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! 🏆

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 🤗

VideoPressVideoPressThe finest video for WordPress. VideoPress offers stunning quality and a seamless playback experience while removing the hassle of hosting videos yourself.

And another successful round of home- and colo-lab maintainance:

- Updated Proxmox VE servers to v.8.3.4
- Updated Proxmox backup server to v.3.3.3
- Updated all Debian/GNU Linux servers (including the
burningboard.net Mastodon instance) with the latest patches and rebooted them
- Updated Red Hat Satellite to version 6.16.3 on RHEL9
- Updated all Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora and CentOS-Stream systems with Satellite+Ansible and rebooted them
- Updated my Raspberry PI 4 with Home-Assustant to the latest version 2025.3.1

According to Grafana+Loki dashboards and checkmk, everything is running smoothly and is operational :)

Thanks to the power of automation with Ansible, all of this just took roughly 25 minutes to do.
