Opensense is often bound by single-core operations depending on where a network packet may plumb itself through the kernel

Didn’t downvote, but when would this become an issue? Pfsense is about the same way as far as single-core operations, tho IDS/IPS like Suricata can utilize multiple threads. My standalone pfsense box sits between my modem and the rest of the network. I haven’t noticed any sluggishness or stuttering. Throughput seems quite reasonable, and supports a diverse group of devices attached to the network.

Well, there you go. I’m glad I plowed the field and saved you the embarrassment. LOL

Pay no attention to the old fart yammering on. I’m surprised I didn’t throw in a couple ‘well, back in my day’. lol I hope you get it all worked out tho.

Ahh, I missed that. So that would explain all the downvotes with no explanations why. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

I don’t run Jellyfin, so take this as is. From what I understand tho, Jellyfin does take a fair amount of resources to run in an ideal situation. Meaning it takes some RAM for multiple simultaneous transcodes, several users, large libraries, etc. A lot of the cheaper Stick PCs come with less than stellar specs. The Stick PC I just randomly picked because it was 8 GB RAM is a MeLE Business Grade PCG02 Fanless N100 Mini Stick PC 8GB. It retails for $350 USD. For half of that price, you could opt for an SFF Optiplex, bump the DDR3 RAM to max the mobo, and DDR3 is fairly cheap, and still have resources to run other Docker containers if you wanted. For example I run an Optiplex SFF with the i7-4790 chip and 32 GB DDR3 RAM. Currently I have 53 total containers running and it really doesn’t break a sweat. Total cost of the box plus RAM was about $175 USD.

If you are going for the portability aspect, that’s where I think a Stick PC would function best. All that being said, you have options just depending on what your criteria are for running Jellyfin.

I’m an expert at nothing, but I would imagine that different VPN like WireGuard have different detectable signatures, much like different browsers have different signatures that can be detected. Also, for commercial VPNs, the IPs that the VPN company uses are easily identifiable.

I’m just yanking your chain bro. Glad you are enjoying your self hosting journey. Rock on wid yo’ bad self.

I’m a rusty and recycled guy, not a new and shiny guy, but man some of this custom-built, laser-cut, 3d printed stuff is cool.

Bet I’m more rusty of a guy than you are. LOL And yes the 3d stuff is wild. I use it a lot around the compound.

Congrats on the improved lifestyle now. I wouldn’t say you have wasted hours. More so that you have invested in your privacy and data retention.

My Dick Tracy decoder ring is on the fritz. I think it says ‘My hovercraft is full of eels’.

Some guy hid a prompt injection in his legal filing that encouraged the court’s AI to rule in his favor (fortunately, the court confirmed it does not use AI for these reviews)

‘E’ for effort nonetheless. That’s pretty funny.

I don’t care if you don’t like it.

I like your style bro. If you don’t like it, you can go the way you came. Pretty damn refreshing. ^5

Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!

No shit. I still have a 5090 still stuck in my throat. $8k for a tape drive, hell, I could have got two 5090s.

That sucks. Personally, I wouldn’t selfhost financial applications. I don’t need that headache with my money or someone else’s either. I hope you find a solution.

No worries. I use Square for my businesses, but they are not self hosted. They do take their skim off the top, but that’s a cost of doing business.

That’s all I got bro. I tried.

There seems to be quite a few of them

Payram?

Throw the second switch!

Btop is my favorite top of all the tops. I run it regularly just to scope how things are processing.
