  • What OS do you like for digital signage/kiosk/dashboard only?

    Jump

  • Microsoft Windows surely?

  • I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against.

    Jump

  • Interesting.

    I have an old free email provider that's just passed the email service to another provider

    I'm looking to move because I used to be able to use

    <anything-at-all>

    @my-email.domain and I'm not sure I'll be able to do that anymore

    I basically do what you're doing - using email prefixes for the site I'm registering with... I even caught a company out once when I suddenly started getting spam from that email address. They'd sold my details...

  • Just to address the resourcing point...

    VM resources can be over allocated, meaning that the hypervisor will try it's best to meet their requirements, so you're not wasting anything and could run more VMs than you have resources for.

    Yes, VMs can also be configured to need a certain amount of resources and the hypervisor will have to stop, but I just wanted you to know it's not fixed.

  • OPNsense Bare Metal vs Virtualization

    Jump

  • Performance is going to be the same.

    Security is the main point here.

    If this is your internet facing firewall then you want minimal layers of software complexity, so bare metal is the answer.

    I'm a pfSense user, so I don't know how regularly OPNsense is updated, but, it's so much easier to just reboot that 1 box whilst everything else is mostly unaffected.

    Better still, do a full device backup before an update and then you have a simple disaster recovery backup in case of any problems.

  • opencloud - I migrated from nextcloud. Screenshots and docker-compose-compose.yml included

    Jump

  • My journey:

    Random stuff --> OwnCloud --> Nextcloud --> syncthing + Radicale

    I gave up with the constant changes during upgrades and increasing dependencies for features that we weren't using.

    Now my system's lean, light, responsive and just works (on a Pi3)

    Prosody's next...

  • Ok, how do we actually fix the linux bluetooth issues?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately the problem isn't with Linux (or other OSs), it's the Bluetooth spec.

    There are so many different optional parts layered on top of other optional parts that the whole thing is unstable.

    Here's an audio article which doesn't answer your problem directly, but gives some background on where the root of the problem is

  • Immich v2.2.0 adds OCR

    Jump

  • Every way?

    Well, apart from simplicity and security I suppose... and networking...

    Oh, and storage...

    But, before you think I'm arguing with you, I'm not... Containers have their place, VMs also, they are just for different uses.

    In this case, I have a NAS, with Immich installed directly on it and I don't have to mess with any abstraction layers... and it all plays nice with the other applications.

    Maybe yours is different... but mine is better on bare metal.

  • Immich v2.2.0 adds OCR

    Jump

  • Gotta chime in with a +1 for bare metal too...

  • Immich v2.2.0 adds OCR

    Jump

  • How so?

  • Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats

    Jump

  • Ah, I read these with a smile on my face because these problems never affect me...

    I have individual, manually controlled electric heaters in each room.

    Of course, the house heating is totally inefficient, and very expensive 🤔😉

  • What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends?

    Jump

  • I think this summarises all the other answers here

  • Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you?

    Jump

  • Backups... with LVM, if you're trying to do a full system backup (ie with clonezilla, etc) then you have to backup the whole thing - you can't backup just 1 drive.

    I have a media server with 2x 2TB HDDs and 1x SSD in a LVM, split into Music, Video, TV... and the OS ... and I can backup the individual files of course, but I can't backup just the OS drive.

    btrfs didn't exist when I created it, but I use it on my NAS and it's great.

    I'll be rebuilding my media server one day and change LVM to btrfs.

  • You have one week to opt out or become fodder for LinkedIn AI training

    Jump

  • I opted out when it was announced - I think someone posted in Lemmy...

    Now I see that it's for Microsoft too, then maybe I'll setup another LI account, keep the options enabled , but just not post or read anything with that account... then the AI would realise it's all pointless and go do something better instead

  • It is mentioned in the article...

  • Any experience of Diode?

    Jump

  • Hmm, ok, I'd not thought of the remote troubleshooting part.

    The NAS is at a family member's home, so the troubleshooting might come up in the future.

    Thanks

  • Any experience of Diode?

    Jump

  • Yeah, my default go to is a site-to-site OpenVPN tunnel, but thought I'd look around at what the kool kidz are doing these days. Thanks.

  • From scratch?

    Jump

  • For presence detection, we feed our phone's GPS into HA (I use the minimal version of the app, so a separate app does the GPS feed direct to my HA without Google / Apple datacenters)

    I have a large "Almost Home" zone centered around our home, but with a much larger radius - this allows for time delays / bad signal, so that the house can turn on lights, etc. before we arrive.

    Then I use ping to detect that we really are at home.

  • Any experience of Diode?

    Jump

  • Yeah, those are for the layer on top of a secure network.

    My use case is less about the backup software, more about the network.

    Diode - as far as I can make out from their site - provides both storage and networking, but I'm not interested in their storage (as I don't understand where it is) - this is about getting data to my offsite NAS, securely.

  • Any experience of Diode?

    Jump

  • Agreed - Diode caught my eye as an alternative to a site-to-site VPN as I have 2x NAS at different locations (+ Backblaze, which I'll be moving away from)

    So, it's less about the destination, more about the network...

    But it feels like the website's got more time invested in it, than the actual tech solution.
