  • I was in a similar boat. Initially, I ran debian with docker but later on decided to check out unraid. It’s pretty easy to get setup, and you have a lot of docker containers pre-configured, so you can just click and install. I have it notify me whenever something goes on with it, but outside of that, I don’t tinker much with it.

    Only two weird things about it though…

    1. You dont install unraid. Instead, you run it through a usb. More specifically, the usb has a specific config that’ll then load everything to your memory.

    2. Recently, they redid their pay structure so not too familiar with the changes but you do have to pay for unraid.


  • Try things out. Get an old pc with some old hard drives no one will want and get to it!

    Just install whatever on it and start asking yourself what you want to do with it.

    I started on Ubuntu Server and ended up on Unraid. Caused alot of problems along the way but in the end I learned alot to where I dont stress too much when stuff goes south.

    Also, when you truly do invest into a proper server. Consider the drives you are buying are gonna die one day. It may take years to happen but it will happen!



  • All the drama started from this video

    Gamers Nexus then made a video breaking down a bunch of issues with LMG

    Linus responded 3 hours after GN posted their video.

    The response was rushed and poorly made. Gamers Nexus the next day made a response.

    Which made LinusTechTips push out a video addressing some of the concerns and what they are gonna do.

    Then, an ex-employee came out, stating many of the issues they had with the company.

    LinusTechTips on twitter (or x i guess?) stated they are looking into it.

    Philip Defranco summarizes everything within 10 minutes and includes a couple of questions they asked LMG. I thought he did pretty well, so its alot better than spending several hours looking into everything.
