Unraid was worth every cent.

I understand what they were saying and I tried to explain why their case for it didn’t make sense to me.

You countered the assertion that it was a glitch with “well then why…” and presented a scenario you’d expect to see if it really were a glitch. I tried explaining why that doesn’t make any sense.

Have a good day.

A glitch is when something doesn’t work as you expect it to. I don’t know why you’d suspect any kind of behaviour from a glitch. Glitches can do all kinds of crazy shit.

To be clear, I’m speculating on what tool they may actually be working on.

Hence the glitch. A glitch is when doesn’t perform as expected or desired.

The reason for all of them was unmoderated. So it seems to me like they have/are testing a method to auto ban unmoderated subs. Not that crazy, imho.

Eh no need to get tin foil hat, imho.

The subs are back up for the record. According to an admin, it was a glitch.

I self host many services without any coding languages under my belt. I use Unraid because I found it user friendly for a newb like me. The most important skills I needed were good data backup habits just in case I messed something up, a willingness to read and learn, and the persistence to try more than once.

I use nginx manager in its own docker container on my unraid server. Was pretty simple to set up all things considered. I would call myself better with hardware than software but not a complete newb and I got it running with minimal headache.

Unraid is pretty simple to use. It has made setting up my services easy with just a little bit of googling for trouble shooting.

I’ve seen multiple stories about the positive reactions.

That’s precisely the intent behind the feature.

What advantages would this have over Obsidian, which is already all local unless you explicitly make it not so?

Unraid has been so simple for me. Really pleased with it.

I’m “techy”, but not in a tech career. By that I mean I’ve always been casually interested in tech, and enjoy building my own PCs, and am usually the one people come to for tech help, even if I just end up googling it for them haha.

Got into hosting through Home Assistant and Foundry VTT.

I haven’t been running it for too long, as I just started putting this together a few months ago and took a while to decide. No issues with downtime though. Updates have been super easy with Unraid so far.

My answer may not be quite as helpful for you, as you said you are a software dev and would probably pick up the more advanced options easier than me.

But for me, I was asking extremely similar questions to you a few months ago (still my only post on Lemmy, lol). I ended up trying unraid, proxmox, and truenas.

I went with unraid and have no regrets. It’s been super easy and I now have the all in one server box I’ve wanted for years.

Have also had good experience using namecheap for years.

If you are messing around the inside of a desktop pc, you are already more of a computer person than the average person.
