Heya, sorry for the necropost, but would you mind sharing how you’re doing on storage these days? I’m looking at spinning up a Lemmy instance of my own and I’m curious about the storage aspect on small instances

It’s not even the spyware or ads that piss me off the most about “smart” TVs, it’s how they always seem to lag to fucking shit. I’ve mostly used lower end ones, but even a few mid range ones I’ve used are still laggy pieces of shit that obviously have the cheapest components imaginable. Which for a normal tv is fine, expected even! But on a “smart” tv where to do anything at all you have to dig through their shitty, counter intuitive “smart” menu, it just sucks.
And then you want to watch some normal tv after a long day and the fuckin thing won’t let you because it demands it installs an update, which thanks to those cheap components, takes far longer than it should
To play devil’s advocate here: sometimes there are genuine reasons to try and request support before making an issue. I’m not particularly smart, nor too techy. If something isn’t working, I’m just going to assume I’m an idiot and I’ve messed something up. If I can’t figure out how to make it work, my first post of call will be trying to find a community related to whatever isn’t working, or on smaller projects I might try and reach out to the Dev. Opening an issue always feels like a “hey, your program isn’t doing what it’s meant to do, here’s what’s wrong with it, please fix it” and not “I think I’ve fucked something up, can you please help?”
I suppose it depends what you’re developing though.
For something cheap, my vote goes to name cheap. Their support was actually better than I expected too. For something private njalla is really good. Not sure what’s a good mix of both though, maybe CloudFlare? I know you can move your domain to them, so I presume they also let you register directly through them.
Telstra here in Australia seems to have this as well. Not sure about duckdns specifically, but last night I found out that they block a few monero mining pools. I emailed them about it, and apparently it’s based off of virustotal ratings. They wouldn’t turn it off, but they told me it’s “trivial to bypass” (their words), suggesting google or CloudFlares DNS, or a VPN
Funny enough the post right below this one in my subscribed feed was a post from db0 asking about setting up media servers. And both of the top two comments recommend jellyfin, nobody recommended emby
Looking at all you guys with your gigabit connections, meanwhile I’m in Aus and lucky to get 30 down and 15 up
Thanks!
