Hot take, but If it’s old and/or no longer useful to you, then I would consider selling or trading it in. Apple products hold value better than a lot of other electronics in the same category and you might as well just take the cash and put it towards other homelab upgrades

The hackers might as well start charging a monthly recurring subscription

It’s already here unfortunately. For example, you can now lease a PlayStation 5

I used to have a bunch of scattered markdown & txt files containing disparate notes which quickly became unmanageable. Now I run wiki.js (using the linuxserver image) and document everything in there. It’s not pretty, but it gets the job done 🤷‍♂️

soulseek & slskd are absolutely goated for music. Always surprised me how more people don’t know about it…

I do about a terabyte of traffic a day. All you good folks are seeding linux ISO’s… right?

The tvOS app is actively under active development, although it’s been a couple years since they’ve published a proper release. Devs routinely post updates here

It’s just a matter of time before they convert the “Lifetime Pass” to a subscription. Absolutely nothing prevents them from following the Adobe playbook and declaring that they’ll be dropping support/updates for the “lifetime edition”. Future feature updates & security fixes will then be gated behind a $29.99 monthly subscription

Assuming your server is indeed public facing, try endlessh-go. It’s a tarpit that wastes time/resources of bots/scanners/skiddies

My rig is 10y old but it doesn’t actually feel all that old thanks to Linux; I also play mostly 2d games so that probably helps. Needless to say I’m overdue for an upgrade but that prob won’t happen anytime soon now :(

Yeah the romm project maintainers are awesome; they’re very responsive to feedback/bugs and they’re constantly adding new features/publishing releases

Using the igdb integration with romm is optional and doesn’t overtly degrade the ux

Plex is a series C for-profit company and is 100% beholden to its investors who expect a handsome return on investment; the enshittification & price hikes are literally guaranteed to continue. Existing users can, and should expect to be squeezed for profits until they have nothing left to give

I do this too; I changed the actual port to something random and run endlessh-go on 22 to tarpit the skiddies

Dead on arrival. Especially so if it runs android and invasively slurps up all your personal data for “training”. Now where have we seen this before?

Carnival row

You might have to patch your nfs config; the default one supplied by Apple is using an older protocol. Run this and reboot:

printf "\nnfs.client.mount.options = vers=4\n" | sudo tee -a "/etc/nfs.conf" &> /dev/null

Oh wow not going to lie I’m kind of jealous. I’d pull the trigger on 10 gbps in a heartbeat. I’m in CA and crapcast offered me overpriced 1 gbps down & 40 mbps up. Yes, you read that right, 40 mbps up in 2026. Didn’t have much of a choice so I bought it. I have my own homelab, download a lot of 4k linux isos, and completely saturate my both download & upload bandwidth around the clock

Looks like the decompilation project is underway, but that probably means it’s still pretty far away from being a proper pc port
