Interesting stuff, thanks.

This is the answer. Find your UUID with “blkid” and mount it in fstab with the ID.

It’s worth learning how. This problem is something everyone goes through (hopefully) once.

Yep, Duplicacy to Backblaze B2 for me

“We are very supportive of encryption technologies. We just want them to be managed in a way, much like in telecommunications.”

I just threw up a little bit

Not forgetting OpenSubsonic! Thanks devs

That’s just weird.

I listen to porn while watching the BBC. Much more satisfying.

Those demo examples are very impressive. I look forward to giving this a try.

I just tried xpipe out off the back of this post. What an amazing tool. It has a great looking interface with a bubch of features I didnt know I needed. I am inside my docker containers in about 3 clicks. Props to you crschnick, this will probably become my daily driver for homelab server administration. The one downside is it will make me lazier :)

I am not a fan of this. I see it all the time at work and it’s very obvious when someone has chatGPT write an email for them (it’s always such a sterile and yet overcomplicated writing style). If it’s a direct email to me, I tend to feel insulted that they couldn’t be bothered to write those 4 paragraphs themselves - it would have taken them 2 mins. There is a definite human disconnect going on in society at the moment, and its worrying.

I honestly don’t know what would happen, but I wouldn’t try it. Hard disks are sensitive things.

The HBA can definitely handle hot swapping, but I’m pretty sure you need a backplane for it to work. If I remember correctly, it needs the capacitors on the backplane’s PCB to allow for the power drain. I’m not sure those cables alone will do.

I have this HBA in my homelab server and was surprised to find it has two SAS controller in it. I can’t remember exactly what I had to do to flash it, but I needed to flash both controllers using an EFI prompt so they became one controller. It took an afternoon of research, but I eventually flashed both of them to IT mode and it worked as expected. I’m pretty sure this thread helped me at the time:

Good luck!

This caught me. I had to restore my instance from backup yesterday after loading the app and it not working. I use the fdroid version and it won’t be updated for a while…

Remember, always backup you data, kids.

I’ve been using a Zidoo Z9X for streaming local media. Not cheap, but very powerful and has a huge amount of features. It’ll play just about anything you throw at it, all locally.

Yep. When I first set up my instance, I couldn’t believe how slow it was. I set up redis using the Nextcloud documentation and its like butter now.

De-Googling is something I did about 5 years ago. It took me about 6 months on and off, but I’m super happy I did. There are always other (and actually better) alternatives to their services. The only one that I struggle not to use is YouTube - the alternatives are all worse.

He is the nerdiest of the nerds, but I wouldn’t call him a neckbeard.

I met him once. Very nice guy.
