  • About 300-400 watts. I should put it on a smart plug to track it over time. I have a NAS with 16 HDDs, an outdated super overkill switch that I should replace to save some power, and a few old laptops.

    It also might use some more power while transcoding for my PeerTube Instance or Jellyfin, and I have my desktop set up as a remote runner for the PeerTube Instance, so that uses some additional power.

    Unfortunately thumbnails/titles are everything, and this style works. YouTube tried (and somewhat succeeded) in making it better by rewarding engaged views, but now they’ve taken a step backwards by hiding that metric.

    Of course, I’m the only one who watches YouTube the correct way, bookmarking the subscriptions tab, adding all of the videos from my creators to my watch later, then watching that playlist. I only hit up the home tab if I run out of stuff to watch.




  • Data Hoarder 💾

    • Fleet: 6–10 devices · More than 50 TB
    • Motivation: Fun / the hobby itself, Customization & full control, Independence from Big Tech & subscriptions
    • My MVPs: Immich, PeerTube, Ghost, Actual Budget, Home Assistant

    I create videos for YouTube/PeerTube and backup all of the raw footage. The actual storage count is currently 130TB in my main NAS with about 250TB for an offsite cold storage backup (as most of my data doesn’t change much) and on-site live-ish backup. I also have the benefit of being able to get reputable used commercial grade HDDs from work for $10/TB, even right now, it makes it way too easy. Shameless plug of my PeerTube instance: https://joeltube.com/ or @JoelKalich on YouTube.





  • I feel like this is a case of not wanting to do the “difficult” thing because it sounds difficult when really avoiding the “difficult” thing is more difficult than just doing the “difficult” thing.

    I was replacing the power steering rack on my P2 Volvo XC70 recently. I really didn’t want to drop the subframe because that sounded like a lot of work. Eventually I realized dropping the subframe was the easier way to get the power steering rack out and, in the end, it was way easier to just drop the subframe. It was like 10 more bolts and wasn’t that hard to put back. In this analogy, Immich is dropping the subframe, just do it.







  • I seriously do not understand this.

    • OP claims it’s just for fun, yet it isn’t, as it’s for money.
    • OP says they’ve made hundreds of bucks on this, yet zero of the thousand pages are claimed.
    • OP says it’d be “interesting … to give people a tiny piece of a website” yet they aren’t giving away anything, it’s costs money.
    • “What if every person got their own HTML” but limits it to 1000 so every person cannot get their own HTML.
    • OP posts in the self hosting community, yet they aren’t even self hosting the website and, if I paid $1, I wouldn’t be self hosting my HTML page.

    I feel like if OP were just honest about this they’d have better luck. Not good luck, but better luck.
