  • Intel denies RMA requests for its faulty 13th Gen, 14th Gen CPUs with instability issues

    Jump

  • I used my 5900x for over 3 years without a hiccup (months of uptime) when suddenly an update completely wrecked my idle stable. I think I figured it out, but yeah a happy AMD customer with the occasional "Why isn't shit stable out of the box"

    Now Intel... Hahahaha guys I think you got screwed :/ time to lawyer up.

  • A bob Ross painting I did

    Jump

  • This is great, I really have to dig out my painting supplies I ordered a few years ago. I started with acryl so I practice a bit before switching to oil, then RL happened and between "no time" and "I need better lightning" / "research about safe non toxic paint cleaner" I kinda forgot about it.

    Do you have any modern guides with "just get this and don't overthink it" that you can recommend? With a kid at home I don't really wanna stress too much about toxic paint etc.

    Keep painting 👍👌

  • So much for Blockchain's real life use cases

    Jump

  • The last time I had to send 30 Euro to someone, I had to pay 5 Euro for gas fees. It used to be even worse. Your statements are bullshit, we all know what the usual use cases are (other than speculation)

  • HTTPS on homelab (just locally)

    Jump

  • T-Mobile users thought they had a lifetime price lock—guess what happened next

    Jump

  • Tell me you don't live in Germany without telling me you don't live in Germany :D

  • Volvo is moving EV production from China to Belgium as the EU eyes tariffs on Beijing

    Jump

  • It is impossible to compete when the playing field is not level. If state subsidies, energy production, co2 impact (not bullshit certificates and offsetting) could be equalized, then tariffs wouldn't be so badly needed.

    I too would like to have no VAT, import tax etc, and for everyone to get along nicely. The reality is, that we live in a highly competitive world where major powers are fighting for control over critical industries and raw resources.

  • Does the form factor between 3.5" and 2.5" matter in a NAS server?

    Jump

  • Running ZFS on consumer SSDs is absolute no go, you need datacenter-rated ones for power loss protection. Price goes brrrrt €€€€€

    I too had an idea for a ssd-only pool, but I scaled it back and only use it for VMs / DBs. Everything else is on spinning rust, 2 disks in mirror with regular snapshots and off-site backup.

    Now if you don't care about your data, you can just spin up whatever you want in a 120€ 2TB ssd. And then cry once it starts failing under average load.

    Edit: having no power loss protection with ZFS has an enormous (negative) impact on performance and tanks your IOPS.

  • How do y'all backup docker databases with backup programs like Borg/Restic?

    Jump

  • This, just pgdump properly and test the restore against a different container. Bonus points for spinning as new app instance and checking if it gets along with the restored db.

  • Neverminding the evidence to the contrary.

    Jump

  • You are completely ignoring the fact, that for many it is too time consuming and involved to go vegan. And then you are imposing your belief that others should invest the same amount of resources, be it time or money, or they are worse human beings not caring about animals. In other words, being able to switch your diet is usually a sign of at least slight financial privilege. I just had some tofu so you don't have to preach to me. But let others be and do not compare veganism to anti-genocide. It is absolutely ridiculous.

  • And remember, friends don't let friends use latest. Pin the versions in your manifests and version control everything.

  • I know what you mean. Most people mean well, some are a bit too aggressive, but probably also mean well. I honestly sometimes roll my eyes when I start reading about tailscale, cloudflare tunnels etc. The main thing is not to expose anything you don't absolutely need to expose.

    For access from the outside the most you should need is a random high port forwarded for ssh into a dedicated host (can be a VM / container if you don't have a spare RaspberryPi). And Wireguard on a host which updates the server package regularly. So probably not on your router, unless the vendor is on top of things.

    Regarding ansible and documenting, I totally get your point. Ten years ago I was an absolute Linux noob and my flatmate had to set up an IRC bouncer on my RPi. It ran like that for a few years and I dared not touch anything. Then the SD card died and took down the bouncer, dynDNS and a few other things running on it.

    It takes me a lot of time to write and test my ansible playbooks and custom roles, but every now and then I have to move services between hosts. And this is an absolute life saver. Whenever I'm really low on time and need to get something up and running, I write down things in a readme in my infra repository and occasionally I would go through my backlog when I have nothing better to do.

  • One word of advice. Document the steps you do to deploy things. If your hardware fails or you make a simple mistake, it will cost you weeks of work to recover. This is a bit extreme, but I take my time when setting things up and automate as good as possible using ansible. You don't have to do this, but the ability to just scrap things and redeploy gives great peace of mind.

    And right now you are reluctant to do this because it's gonna cost you too much time. This should not be the case. I mean, just imagine things going wrong in a year or two and you can't remember most things you know now. Document your setup and write a few scripts. It's a good start.

  • Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why?

    Jump

  • Same. I buy all my domains there. And in case someone needs a proper API and support for the dns challenge, host your DNS at DeSEC.

  • What is a good multirole server setup for a racked server?

    Jump

  • You don't need 8 drives when they are 8 times larger than your current ones. I went from planning for 5+ drives to just downsizing to two drives in mirror. Then I can expand with another mirror.

    Unless you need uptime and want to guarantee an SLA for your own services, you are much better off with a mirror or raidz1. Do regular backups (off-site, incremental) and don't fear the disk failure.

  • How to drop files from Android to home server?

    Jump

  • Same, I have a bunch of "inbox" folders and drop files into my server or desktop from my phone with 3 clicks.

  • Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature

    Jump

  • I'm using FF tab groups and Sideberry, other than the occasional link getting opened in the wrong group I haven't had issues. I really need to test Chrome and it's profiles to see what the fuss is all about :D

  • How much of what you self-host do you keep LAN only over making accessible across the internet?

    Jump

  • Just in case you missed this, you can issue valid HTTPS Certificates with the DNS challenge. I use LetsEncrypt, DeSEC and Traefik, but any other supported provider with Lego (CLI) would work.

  • Feishin: An open source self-hosted music player that can connect to your Navidrome and Jellyfin libraries

    Jump

  • Symfonium is great, it supports a bunch of sources and works really well. Absolutely worth supporting the dev (check his ko-fi too)!

  • What does your current setup look like?

    Jump

  • Oh okay that's a lot of power. For reference, I just set up an old Haswell PC as a NAS, idling at 25W (can't get to low Package C states) and usually at 28-30 running light workloads on an SSD pool. My plan was to add a 5 disk cage and at least 3 HDDs, with Raidz2 and 5 disks being the mid term goal. Absolutely unnecessary and a huge waste. I settled on less but larger disks, and in mirror I can get 12-18 TB usable space for under 500€. Less noise and power draw too.
