The boring answer is something like a bond or CD ladder, or treasury bill focused ETF that’ll give you 3% a year before taxes.

2 million dollars can safely net you 50,000 a year without working.

And since it’s mostly federal bonds, you could be tax exempt up to a certain amount.

Of course this is the US POV.

And there are riskier investments that can hit 8ish% with only $600,000, but you’ll be at the whim of high risk high reward.

If you’re wanting to hit the tax free limit of $15,750 a year (total income) then 3% APY is $525k.

Or go super risky run options.

I just use adguard home. Worker a little better in my docker setup.

We use Tailscale to share between accounts.

But for large transfers I use an encrypted HDD.

I selfhost immich in a netcup VPS. They have a 2tb VM for about 22 euros a month via a black Friday sale

I’m on a 1tb arm plan for about 10 euros a month.

I am running Jellyfin in an Open Media Vault VM on top of Proxmox.

Jellyfin is in docker in OMV.

All disks are mounted in OMV and then mounted in Docker.

I have a 14600k that has an iGPU passthrough and it works fine. (Same generation iGPU I think)

Then try this docker container to see if encoding works

docker run --rm ghcr.io/linuxserver/ffmpeg ffmpeg -hwaccels

Run the container

docker run --rm \
  --device /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
  --entrypoint ffmpeg \
  ghcr.io/linuxserver/ffmpeg \
  -init_hw_device qsv=hw:/dev/dri/renderD128 \
  -hwaccel qsv -hwaccel_device hw -hwaccel_output_format qsv \
  -f lavfi -i testsrc=duration=3:size=1280x720:rate=30 \
  -vf 'format=nv12,hwupload=extra_hw_frames=64' \
  -c:v h264_qsv -f null -

I’m on mobile so formatting maybe shit. But I think you can get the right idea with this.

Client side or server side?

Reverse proxy if your home internet is decent.

50mbps upload is fine for me.

I had it running on a mini PC with 8tb of storage, but I couldn’t get the latency down to where I want it, so I moved it to a VPS.

I run it on a VPS. Works great across oceans. Biggest gripe is that it doesn’t load local content first. It checks online and then pulls from those thumbnails. So if you have a weak or slow connection, then you’ll get a spinning wheel of death or assets that don’t load properly.

I always have the irrational or maybe rational fear of glass breaking. Any furniture I buy doesn’t have any glass elements.

Do you mind giving me an example? I have issues with technical questions but with enough coaxing I could find what I was looking for.

Anything that can run proxmox is running proxmox. Even if it’s a single OS running on it, it’s still running proxmox

This age gap fails the check for me

37 / 2 = 18.5, 18.5 + 7 = 25.5

If someone that old who can’t get someone around his age, but is suddenly interested in younger people… That’s just someone preying on naivety.

It’s a VPN. It’s standard ChaCha20/AES 128. Good enough for private entities but not FIPS certified

I use a mixture of tailscale and zerotier. Both are pretty powerful.

Then you’ll need to factor in the solar initial cost as well!

People do not necessarily do reasonable things. A lot of society is built on the assumption of people doing reasonable things.

BirdNet Pi!

Yes but you can get two free instances under the same account.

Actually you can get 2 IPs for free. Then use high availability

I use ZeroTier on a MikroTik router.

Then just advertise routes on the router.
