Although it might be built using the platters from different broken drives held together with gaffa tape.
EDIT: Actually, that could be fun deal. The $1 until-the-disc-dies deal. Make it RAID0 across 5 drives for extra spice.
I feel kinda dead inside after all that serious stuff, maybe Nekki-chan can fix things up a bit?
After-parties were supposed to be fun...
kinda hard to have too many seedboxen, esp cheap slow ones you can move stuff from your fast servers onto for the longer term seed
haha. then his page will die before anyone can get that deal
gcc is available.
It is essentially just a shell account, with some tools preconfigured.
No, listens to 127.0.0.1 only. You need to setup ssh tunnel for outside connections. This is a security thing.
dont we all Murv, dont we all
with shell account and many data transfer / manipulation tools straight out of the box.
ffmpeg is popular, i guess a lot of people re-encoding their stuff.
VLC streaming straight via ssh mount works extremely well too. Emby & Jellyfin i hear too but manual install atm.
All kinds of stuff infact.
@PulsedMedia is borg installed and kept up to date on your "seedboxes"?
You got it right, gcc, make etc. build essentials installed too. so you can compile stuff.
rsync, scp, gpg, pigz, tar etc. all the usual linux goodies and a bit more
pigz is good for compressing stuff multithreaded for those hurry application, just do a nice 19 for the process not to slow down others
then do ya have something for the page 300?
for a long time that was the case, we have over the years gotten softer and softer with the limits, partly because rTorrent is abandonware now, partly because it just takes too much effort to maintain everything so that it works for everyone and partly because software for limiting resource usage is getting better every year.
looking foward to page 300
who doesn't need to restock?
300
Spartaaaaa
Go for 300!!!
How about RAID0 across 48 drives to really make it a not russian but .... wait for it .... wait for it.... russian data roulette!
A problem is that isolation between users provided by linux is pretty crappy. Security-wise a KVM will provide more isolation. For encrypted backups it should be fine. I wouldn't use such a setup for important data.
Yay!! 300..
Not yet, bro
300!
wait, is ffmpeg usage allowed on PulsedMedia seedboxes?!
nawh but we should def add it i think. As long as it doesn't take too much effort to maintain; ie. repo package exists which it seems to do for deb10 indeed
Consider it to be added within a few weeks. remind via a ticket if i got absent-minded and forgot lol
gooooooooooo
Yeah, that bit surprises me because you could easily max out the CPU on a shared machine doing that. When I think of storage, I was expecting SFTP, a web front end, a torrent thingy and not much else.
Actually, one of my use cases for servers is running modified ffmpeg using not much drive space (don't ask), but probably too much CPU for a VPS with a fair use on a core, which why I like my KS-LE and KS-2 so much because nobody cares what I do to the CPU. When I wanted to run it on my Racknerd VPS for about 36 hours, I had a script that kept sending it SIGSTOP and SIGCONT every few seconds to keep my CPU use down under 40% so I wouldn't annoy anyone. At least, I assumed I had to. RN doesn't seem to say what the FUP actually is...
But anyway, I guess I wouldn't be popular running ffmpeg 24/7 on anyone's shared machine, so I'll keep it to my dedis and home machines for now.
Not a customer, just curious.
Only thing more insatiable!
Shoo! shoo! Gloomy clouds go away! My comrades need after-party deals!
Almost there.
