You can pick up an Intel A310 single slot GPU for $100 and it has AV1 encode, which is something that the igpu QSV doesn't have.

That's still an Intel product though...

I found a GitHub issue suggesting that they warn users about the risks associated with native encryption, it has helped me understand the situation better: https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs-docs/issues/494

Those caveats/issues are definitely worrying. I don't think I have enough expertise to comment on them, unfortunately.

The wiki also says that native encryption is "unofficially discouraged by the community" and I'd be interested in learning more about that, but there's no source for that statement.

If you're interested in ZFS, I think it's definitely worth trying out on a secondary machine. There's a lot to learn, but I've found it worthwhile.

I've been using ZFS for the past 3 years without any major issues. For my server, all my media is stored on a group of HDDs in an external HDD enclosure using RAIDz2. I currently use Proxmox, since I wanted a stable OS and it has support for ZFS baked-in.

My personal laptop has root on ZFS, running Arch. ZFS is a kernel module installed separately in this case. Since Arch is a rolling distro and I like messing around with it, I appreciate running a FS with snapshots where I can easily rollback when something breaks. Plus, ZFS supports native encryption!

Awesome! Just updated without issues, I only had to make one tiny change to my config.

For WebDAV, you can use DAVx⁵ or Round Sync

Self-hosting is really fun, but you could become obsessed and spend all your time on it!

Seriously though, check out these resources:

• https://awesome-selfhosted.net/
• !selfhosted@lemmy.world
• https://reddit.com/r/selfhosted (Reddit, but still very active)

I personally self-host Plex, Navidrome, Audiobookshelf, Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr, qBittorrent and more.

I prefer starship

Just follow these 2 accounts, they both boost/retweet tons of interesting posts, and then you can follow the original posters:

• @lisamelton@mastodon.social
• @FediFollows@social.growyourown.services

I feel the same way. $46 (Canadian) a year ago (August 1) for Sync Ultra. Got less than a year out of it...

Hurts even more that the new ultra has the same name as the old one. It gave me false hope that my old subscription would still be valid.

geddit.social is a another good server, I have alt there. It's run by @stux@geddit.social who has his own hosting company and also hosts mstdn.social.

DAVx⁵ is fire-and-forget (if you have a reliable server). Nextcloud usually requires work to set up and maintain, but there are lots of resources out there to help. Tons of people use and love it.
