Raidz5 doesn’t exist, I assume you mean raid5? And you wouldn’t know, URE is sometimes silent, and because without parity during a rebuild you would be recalculating the parity bit and assumig every read on the remaining drives is successful. Except the URE rate for drives hasn’t gone down to match the increasing size of drives - so for a full 1x read of a large drive, you’re statistically at risk to get at least 1 URE.

In short, there is no integrity checking when rebuilding a single redundancy array after a drive failure, so just because a rebuild succeeds, doesn’t mean nothing was lost or corrupted. With double redundancy, you will still have single redundancy during a rebuild, so you would be able to detect URE and retry reads or raise an error to the user.

Some articles may make it overblown - you won’t lose your whole array, but any files stored in the block that had the URE during rebuild would be lost. And you might not know that it happened.

Raidz1 or z2? One of the reasons I went with z2 is because of the “raid5 is dead” thing, argument basically being, drives are so large that if 1 fails, you are statistically almost guaranteed to encounter a read error during the rebuild when you no longer have any redundancy, so double redundancy is a necessity nowadays.

I use haproxy just for simplicity, with the https fronted in tcp mode with a tcp request inspect delay and acls using req_ssl_sni allows switching between multiple backend based on hostname, though if you only had 1 backend server then it could just be a raw tcp proxy. I have my stuff split between 2 local boxes that are both connected to the reverse proxy using wg so this works well for me.

I use a wireguard tunnel as a reverse proxy and it does ssl passthrough with sni. Termination happens on my local box and the reverse proxy host doesn’t do any certs.

I went with rsync.net, grabbed a promo at some point and have been getting 1.6TB for $10/mo. They support a wide range of protocols (sshfs, sftp, rsync, borg, synology, guides for freenas and truenas), snapshots, idle alerts, geo redundancy for a fee. Been very happy with it so far. Had to retrieve some files once and had no issue.

I couldn’t find a common compatible format for me and 15 friends :( I also got tired of getting 20 requests to download more movies and episodes every week.

For some reason the battery isn’t mentioned in the parts list but it’s shown in the video and mentioned in the instructions. Would be pretty easy to power the esp feather with a dcdc converter off of a USB port or something assuming it doesn’t take 5v directly

Not everyone wants to figure out an os install

To re-state, it’s not a problem of understanding or the language, it’s a problem with overused, bland, and repetitive language and phrasing. It’s not fun to read even if you can understand it perfectly.

Just because 200 people understood your post doesn’t mean it isn’t annoying to read. And it’s a super simple thing to fix - don’t use AI to rewrite your post and just use a normal translator instead, which won’t inject bland and repetitive phrases and structures.

Yeah Google translate preserves a lot more of your communication style. AI overuses so many phrases it can get annoying reading something that was processed through it.

It feels like there’s been an increasing flood of AI slop projects, with varying degrees of monetization / donations. I think it’ll become a huge problem if we don’t have at a minimum very strict rules around AI generated slop projects. I think a mandatory tag with penalty of removal is a good bottom floor, in addition to the recent community participation activity % requirements for promoting monetized projects, which covers a good chunk of AI projects.

Then hopefully soon we can figure out as a community what to do to control the remaining volume of non-strongly-monetized AI slop projects if those are still too widespread, but having it labeled is absolutely needed transparency, and that’ll still be difficult because lots of people seem to lie about not using AI.

Honestly I like the idea of your project but the writing style of your post is very grating.

Ah cool, the docs made it sound like container: uses the container ID hash instead of the name so I wasn’t sure how that works. I just put stuff like this in the same compose file since they’re all closely related.

If it helps, here’s how I had my gluetun / transmission set up with mullvad (I’ve since moved to proton for port forwarding but I saved the mullvad config in case I needed to switch back):

services:
  gluetun:
    image: qmcgaw/gluetun:v3
    container_name: gluetun
    restart: always
    cap_add:
      - NET_ADMIN
    devices:
      - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
    volumes:
      - ./volumes/gluetun:/gluetun
    environment:
      - TZ=America/New_York
#      Mullvad
      - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=mullvad
      - VPN_TYPE=wireguard
      - SERVER_COUNTRIES=USA
      - SERVER_CITIES=New York NY
      - WIREGUARD_PRIVATE_KEY=
      - WIREGUARD_ADDRESSES=x.x.x.x/32
      - UPDATER_PERIOD=24h
      - UPDATER_MIN_RATIO=0.1
      - UPDATER_VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDERS=mullvad,privado,protonvpn
    networks:
      - default
      - ingress

  transmission:
    image: linuxserver/transmission:latest
    container_name: transmission
    restart: always
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"
    environment:
      - PUID=0
      - PGID=0
      - TZ=America/New_York
    volumes:
      - ./volumes/transmission:/config
      - /volume1/Media:/media

  flood:
    image: jesec/flood:latest
    container_name: flood-sidecar
    restart: always
    command: --port 3000
    user: "0:0"
    network_mode: "service:gluetun"
    volumes:
      - ./volumes/transmission:/config
      - /volume1/Media:/media:ro
    environment:
      - TZ=America/New_York
      - HOME=/config
    labels:
      - com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.flood.rule=Host(`flood.example.com`)"
      - "traefik.http.services.flood.loadbalancer.server.port=3000"
      - "traefik.http.routers.flood.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.routers.flood.tls.certresolver=mytlschallenge"
      # This example uses "Selective Authentication"
      - "traefik.http.routers.flood.middlewares=oauth-middleware"

Idk how zimaos works, but the way to attach containers like this is with network_mode: "service:othercontainer" which might need them to be in the same compose file (the docs aren’t clear).

Also note that you can’t put any port mappings on a container using network_mode service, you have to put them on the other container that is handling networking since the first container is piggybacking off of the other and doesn’t have its own networking.

It sounds like it’s just not worth it for you, and that’s totally fine! Plenty of people get by just fine with using random streaming sites.

Personally, I want something more reliable, I want to have copies of what I watch in my possession that cannot be taken down, and I want to share this with others so that my friends can benefit from my time investment instead of using a solution that only works for me. So that if my friends ask me “where do you get your stuff” I can offer to share with them at 0 extra effort instead of telling them “go do all these things that I already did”

As for usage, I only watch a few hours a week myself, but I share with 15-20 friends and family who watch a collective 160 hours a month last year and around 360 hours a month this year (about 15 days of watch time per month).

I have a fairly comprehensive arrstack, torrents and Usenet, seerr, Plex and jellyfin side by side with identical media mounts for maximum user choice, running on a nuc with quicksync so it handles 8+ simultaneous 1080p live transcodes without using much power or increasing CPU usage much more than 5-10%.

It comes from a package called funny-manpages, here’s a list of the man pages it includes: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/funny-manpages/tree/man

Here’s their answers to “Expand the replies to this comment to learn how AI was used in this post/project”:

it is written by ai i give the idea then ai writes that

this post is written by ai. i only give it thought on what idea it should post and it generated everything.

Their post history contains a mixture of comments with grammar like the above as well as many comments with excellent grammar, often containing em dashes. It seems like they only post on Reddit using AI comments to karma farm so they can spam AI generated posts like this to try to get some people to pay for their hosting subscription for their vibe coded app.

I think you should make it clearer in this post that you are selling hosting services for this. It feels like this is self promotion but without transparency otherwise.
