Evening Lemmy,

I have run into a small hiccup in my self-hosting journey. Youtube on my TV in the living room has ads... and they become more unbearable by the day. To that end, I'd like to set up a Raspberry Pi (Or something) to run as a one-stop for media. Ideally, I'd like it to have YouTube (Or more likely NewPipe/FreeTube), Steam Link and access to my Jellyfin instance. More ideally, I'd like this to be controllable with a controller (TV Remote, Steam controller, doesn't matter). The reason for the latter is that I'd rather not create too much trouble for my wife when she uses the TV.

I've done some looking, and I seem to be able to get an Amazon Firestick to run NewPipe, and Jellyfin, and maybe even the Steam Link but from the stories I've read it's... less than ideal. So, I was hoping there may be an alternative.

The goal is to get all three in one system, with decently user friendly functionality.

Has anyone set something similar up, and could you point me in a direction.

I've recently switched my primary PC to Linux (Specifically POP_OS). Overall the experience has been incredible. Far less difficult than I feared.

One area that has been a constant annoyance is sound device management. The abilities to independently set volumes by program, and switch between sound devices easily (as opposed to going into settings every time) have eluded me. Perhaps I'm just missing something, but my assumption is that there's a packaged solution for this. I've looked around and seen a few recommendations for pavucontrol, but wanted to check here and see what other people use and why. I'm open to suggestions.

So I finally finished gathering the hardware for my first real homelab. I currently have a pi that I run nginx, searxng, and pihole, but I'm looking to move to something more hefty. I'll probably leave pihole and nginx on the pi. I'm wanting to set up plex to host things for home use as well as a way to store photos, Documents, etc locally. Ideally my friends and I play games like valheim and icarus and I would like to be able to use a vm or container to host game servers when needed.

My hardware currently consists of an amd 4650g pro, 16gig ddr4, amd a520 mobo and 2 1tb m2s.

My question is I'm considering setting up proxmox for this but I wanted to see advice before I go to far. Is there a more preferred option? I'm not too hung up on cost but ideally I don't want anything to run through like a host page off my network or something. And I would like something that will allow me to expand storage since 2tb isn't really a lot

Hey all,

I'm relatively new to self hosting. I set up a SearxNG on my local network and then recently set up Pi-Hole. Searx is running in a docker container and Pi-Hole is not. However, after setting up Pi-hole the IP I use to connect to Searx now directs to the default the default placeholder page. So my Pi-hole runs on 192.168.0.19/admin and Searx used to run just on 192.168.0.19. I'm guessing there's a config somewhere that I can change to make both work at once I'm just not sure where. Google was less than helpful (or maybe I'm an idiot lol) so I was hoping someone here may have run into a similar issue.

I've recently learned that DDG does not follow its own guidelines for privacy. I'm curious what search engines people here would recommend. I would prefer a search engine that not only respects my privacy but also doesn't hide or shadow ban content it doesn't like. Any recommendations?

Hello friends! Is there a lemmy community for roguelikes? I am, in this case, looking for a place focused on more traditional roguelikes (DCSS, CCDDA, BROGUE, etc)

If there isn't one, no worries, send me you're favorite unknown traditional roguelikes. I'll tell you mine. It's called "Empires of Eradia" it's a more open combat focused RL with a unique twist on permadeath. It's got great crafting and a strong focus on risk reward.
