As someone who uses programming.dev as my daily instance, I’d be happy to help.

I’ve got over a decade of experience as a software engineer, with over 5 in Go.

Definitely this. I run a home lab, six servers, and I use Synology Photos because it’s so much better than the self hosted alternatives.

What are you going on about?

Nobody in this thread has said “not all men”.

The top comment said “can people just not suck”, then OP responded saying “actually, in this case, only men suck”.

Men are people too, so “can people not be terrible” is still accurate…

Unsure if your asking seriously (if not, whooosh to me), but it’s an open source alternative to Plex.

Plex is a media server that you run to host your TV shows and movies. Think of a self-hosted Netflix.

Awesome, thanks! That’s really helpful.

Having a homelab myself and running quite a few services I’m still so iffy on allowing anything out on the wider web in such a public way.

Yeah, this would be the first that would be so openly accessible (I do host other things but they are severely locked down). That’s why, if I do it, I’ll create another VLAN, with zero access to my network/other VLANs.

That’s why I was asking about disk space, as I wouldn’t connect it to my NAS. If I do it, I’ll probably do it on dedicated hardware with it’s own drive.

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thanks, appreciate it.

No worries! It was just an instance of Lemmy (same way that lemmy.world and lemmy.ml are different instances).

Rather than rely on someone else, I am thinking of just spinning up my own as I already have a home lab / know how to look after stuff etc etc

I assume this one? https://lemmy.ml/post/1855875

Edit: it’s mostly people assuming they lost the domain. I’ve seen nothing confirmed yet.
