I’ve been running plex for a few years no. No real issues to complain of.
Until today. I just upgraded my server with an Intel ARC. Was looking forward to enabling qsv for streaming. Turns out you need plex pass to do that.
Can jellyfin do it?
A car loses its value when you drive it off the lot because it’s a depreciating asset. That money doesn’t go to the bank or the owner. It just vanishes.
Besides, if your partner only helped pay the interest portion of the auto loan (which is what I’m proposing), the depreciating value of the car would be fully felt by you when you sell the car. They would just be out a few months of interest regardless of the sustained value of the car.
Homes typically increase in value or at least hold value. When you sell your home, you won’t get back any of the money you gave to the bank as interest, but in theory everything else including your down payment will be returned to you.
So to me it makes sense that while a partner is living with you and if they are committed to helping pay for utilities and whatnot, they can also contribute to the cost of living at the home. I believe helping to pay the interest is a fair and equitable way to do that.
I mean when you’re renting a place you’re more than likely helping the owner pay off their loan anyway. It’s just another step removed.
Ok, but like it also doesn’t seem fair for the non-owner romantic partner to just get free rent, no?
This is more like one person sharing the cost of the loan on a house they won’t get to keep.
If the owner sells the property, they will not get back any of the money spent on interest. Thats the point. The assumption is that the principal is the best representation of the portion that the property owner gets to keep.
The logic is that she didn’t pay any equity into the house. That makes the situation similar to two people sharing the monthly rent on a rented apartment except they’re paying a bank and not the landlord.
8th grade Earth Science teacher. I shared a fun little factoid I had just learned: if you’re standing on the North Pole, every direction is south.
She disagreed and spent like 20 minutes explaining why that was wrong. I didn’t understand most of what she was trying to convey, but I do remember hearing “you can go north but in a southerly direction.”
When my wife (at the time girlfriend) moved in, we split the interest portion of the mortgage payment 50/50. Principle was 100% me. Utilities food and supplies were evenly split. Every bolted down upgrade I paid for 100%, but we decided to split paint since it mattered more to her.
The idea was if she bolted, I would mostly be left with what I paid for. If we got married (we did), we’d combine finances and it wouldn’t matter anyway.
Not in God per se, but this puzzle came up at the Radio Shack I used to work at when I was 18. I didn’t have an immediate explanation for how it was possible.
My co-worker used it as an example of how some things are unexplainable. Therefore, y’know, God.
Thanks for the tips. I’ll definitely at least start with mdadm since that’s what I’ve already got running, and I’ve got enough other stuff to worry about.
Are you worried at all about bit rot? I hear that’s one drawback of mdadm or raid vs. zfs.
Also, any word on when photoprism will support the Coral TPU? I’ve got one of those and haven’t found much use for it.
Very good to know! Thanks.
Where I’ve landed now is
A) just migrate everything over so I can continue working. B) Migrate my mdadm to ZFS C) Buy another NVME down the road and configure it with the onboard RAID controller to prevent any sudden system downtime. D) Configure nightly backups of anything of import on the NVME RAID to the ZFS pool. E) Configure nightly snapshots of the ZFS pool to another webserver on-site. F) rsync the ZFS pool to cold storage every six months and store off-site.
Yeah, I wouldn’t dare.
The fact that I migrated from a 3 drive to 6 drive mdadm raid without losing anything is a damn miracle.
I wanted to get something with a lot of upgrade potential, and this was the cheapest option to get my foot in the door with an EPYC processor.
Also needed two PCIe slots that could do at least 8x for the hba card and Intel ARC for video streaming.
Current hardware is an ancient fanless motherboard from 2016. RAID6 is through mdadm. Four of the drives are through a super slow PCIe 2.0 1x card.
New motherboard (just ordered) is a supermicro H13SAE-MF which has dual nvme slots and a built in raid controller for them.
Doing that every day feels a bit impractical. I already do that every few months.
So I’m kind of on the fence about this. I ran a raid boot disk system like 12 years ago, and it was a total pain in the ass. Just getting it to boot after an update was a bit hit or miss.
Right now I’m leaning towards hardware nvme raid for the boot disk just to obfuscate that for Linux, but still treat it delicately and back up anything of importance nightly to a proper software raid and ultimately to another medium as well.
Wouldn’t this require the service to go down for a few minutes every night?
Doesn’t this just pass the issue to when the snapshot is made? If the snapshot is created mid-database update, won’t you have the same problem?
So are you thinking like a raspberry pi with an 18TB hard drive accepting nightly backups through restic?
Lucked out on eBay and got it for $50.
