Is ZFS on Linux getting better? I’ve heard mixed things. I use BTRFS on my daily driver, and I really like (ab)using the file compression with zstd.

If you are not too stuck on bsd
Not really. It’s more out of the curious of how DragonflyBSDs HAMMER2 filesystem works. I’ve good things about it and ZFS on FreeBSD. ZFS on Linux I’ve heard is still getting up to where it is on FreeBSD.
It’s the interest in how well the HAMMER2 filesystem works for everyday storage, as well as how swapcache performs. Not much besides that, plus I’ve generally decent experiences with Net and OpenBSD.
If you’re gonna spend that level of money, you may as well go for an M1 Mac Mini.
I was joking. I don’t feel like shelling out $600 for a starting media server.
If you really want Intel, just get an N100 or N300. Low power, Intel HW transcoding on iGPU on Linux kernels 6.3+, and can handle Jellyfin no problem.
Didn’t think about that either. I’m finding I didn’t give this as much thought as I should’ve.
You can get a minipc with everything you for $175 for a no name brand, or maybe $250 for a more well-known brand.
But why do that when I could spend +$600? 😜
Good point. So what we’re really talking about then is
I don’t think anyone here would recommend BSD
I’m guessing this is due to issues of support, compared to Linux?
I’m beginning to realize I haven’t looked into this as much as I should’ve. 😅 So for most people, with what @AtariDump@lemmy.world has mentioned, a raspberry pi with 1 or multiple hard drives (if you really want) is a good start.
As the project mentions:
Even though there are builds available online for these platforms, they are unofficial and from a separate project. If you do encounter issues on these platforms, please ask for support in their respective support channels first.
This that project:
Ah, okay. So, if I understand correctly, unless I’m trying to have Jellyfin do what YouTube does with offering multiple resolutions and bitrates for video, I don’t need to bother with looking for a GPU that’s good at video transcoding?
Great point. I don’t know why I didn’t think about that.
I don’t know about your second question, but with almost every proton-ge update I’ve gone into Steam and switched over to the new version with no issues so far.
Maybe that’s a no-no for some games but, again, no issues so far.
EDIT: Same goes for wine-ge whenever I have games I bought through GOG and play through Lutris.
Hmm, I guess my question would be how does this all work? I mean, is it not possible to configure STUN/DERP services yourself? Or add control lists yourself?
I’m curious as to how all of this is done, not just to see if it’s possible (even if it’d be a headache) but for confirmation. Granted, networking is my worse subject when it comes to any related to computers. For ACLs, I guess Apparmor and/or SELinux profiles would be configured? The removing a key I can understand why it’s be a nightmare yourself, but how does Tailscale do it where it’s just so simple?
EDIT: Another question I have is how does Tailscale work when I have a VPN for securing network traffic when browsing the internet etc.? Or is that just seamless?
I’m curious, what’s the benefit of using Tailscale over setting up Wireguard yourself? Is it just not having to do all of the setup? Or do I misunderstand what the main use of Tailscale is?
Hmm, I think that was the one I was wondering about. I use Gentoo, and when I was initially setting everything up on my machine, I saw there were a lot of caveats for using ZFS on linux from the Gentoo wiki entry on it. Maybe that’s changed or those issues are no longer related to native encryption specifically.
