This is really cool. I’m still struggling to find a good replacement for my use case. I almost exclusively watch youtube on my Nvidia Shield on SmartTube with sponsorblock.

I do use Jellyfin already and I see there is a Jellyfin plugin. Do you know if Jellyfin gets sponsorblock information as chapters? That would probably be an okay solution, even if it doesn’t automatically skip them.

My current setup uses ~180W, which is a lot, but WAY better than my previous one, which was ~600W. Power is cheap where I live, so I’m not too worried about it.

180W homelab:

• N6005 fanless mini PC running pfsense
• mikrotik CRS310-8G+2S+IN switch
• TP-Link AP225 access point
• Server running proxmox w/ AMD 5900X, RTX 3080, 128GB ECC RAM, LSI-9208i w/2x10TB drives, and dual SFP+ NIC

600W homelab:

• Aruba 24-port PoE gigabit switch w/ 4xSFP+ ports
• Dell R720xd fully kitted out w/ 12x 6TB drives, 2x 512GB SSD, 2x 32GB SD cards, 100-something GB RAM, 2x whatever the best CPU was for that unit
• Dell R710 w/ 6x 6TB drives, 1x 256GB SSD, 100-something GB RAM, 2x whatever the best CPU was for that unit.
• TP-Link AP225 access point

Ah. Sorry for the misunderstanding. FreshRSS uses the Google Reader API to connect with apps, so you could get an RSS app and get notifications through that.

Since you’re asking specifically about RSS, I recommend FreshRSS and RSS-Bridge. FreshRSS can filter by keyword to mark things as read automatically, and RSS-Bridge Can help with making RSS feeds for sites that don’t have them. FreshRSS can do that, too, but only with XPath. RSS-Bridge has a few more tricks. Also, I recommend checking out Wallabag, a pocket alternative that can output your saved articles as RSS feeds.

It can work on CPU alone, but allows for GPU hardware acceleration.

I have a Kasm setup with blender and CAD tools, I use the GPU for transcoding video in Immich and Jellyfin, and for facial recognition in Immich. I also have a CUDA dev environment on there as a playground.

I upgraded my gaming PC to an AMD 7900 XTX, so I can finally be rid of Nvidia and their gaming and wayland driver issues on Linux.

I’ll have to double check, but I came from a B450 board. It definitely allowed me to run my RAM at a higher XMP profile (4x 3200MHz), and it has way better IOMMU groups. Each PCIe device gets its own group, so they can all be passed to different VMs.

I have a similar setup. I just recently switched to the ASRock Phantom X570 for $100. It’s a fantastic board at that price.

The same thing happened to me when I first tried to go there, but it’s fine now.

EDIT:

Server:

• AMD 5900x
• 64GB RAM
• 2x10TB HDD
• RTX 3080
• LSI-9208i HBA
• 2x SFP+ NIC
• 2TB NVMe boot drive

Proxmox hypervisor:

• TrueNAS VM (HBA PCIe passthrough)
• HomeAssistant VM
• Debian 12 LXC as SSH entrypoint and Ansible controller
• Debian 12 VM with Ansible controlled docker containers
• Debian 12 VM (GPU PCIe passthrough) with Jellyfin and other services that use GPU
• Debian 12 VM for other docker stuff not yet controlled by Ansible and not needing GPU

Router: N6005 fanless mini PC, 2.5Gbit NICs, pfsense

Switch Mikrotik CRS 8-port 2.5Gbit, 2-port SFP+

If that’s the case, then just set up a pipeline to pre-transcode your 4k content to 1080p, so your server doesn’t have to handle that on the fly.

I have a lot of services. I use Ansible to manage many of them, so they’re all in one VM. I use Home Assistant, which works best when installed as a whole VM or on bare metal. For the remaining services that I have yet to set up with Ansible, I keep the services that need the GPU on one VM, and everything else on another. Finally, I have an LXC container that is my SSH entrypoint and Ansible management system.

I could technically use TrueNAS Scale as a hypervisor for all this, but Proxmox has a lot of quality-of-life features that make it a better hypervisor. I could use Proxmox for ZFS and shares, but TrueNAS has has a lot of quality-of-life features that make it a much better NAS, so I virtualize it.

If you’re using TrueNAS, use RAIDz. Doing anything else negates all the benefits of TrueNAS.

It’s very easy to find them with IT mode already flashed so it’s plug-and-play.

Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You’d need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)

The LSI 9210 8i - IT mode is a great option and can be had for under $50.

You would need a separate controller.

I use proxmox with truenas scale. It’s a great option, but you just have to make sure to pass the hdd controller PCI device through to the VM. This can either be the SATA controller on the motherboard if you can make that work, or a separate PCIe HBA.

That did it! Thanks.

Neat! I tried to add my freshrss server and got an error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">...

My URL is of the format https://freshrss.example.com, my tls certs are good, and I’m using freshrss version 1.23.0
