Having to sign up to yet another platform to support someone’s work can introduce a lot of unnecessary friction

To solve this, here’s yet another platform

At home vs. for work are very different. At home, I self host as much as I can. At work, I use as many managed services as I can. Especially databases.

I have really been wanting to try it out. Is there any good off the shelf hardware that you can use as “smart speakers” for it yet?

Automated scans of everything everywhere for exposed credentials is nothing new?

That’s security theater for you…

The idea of shipping something like that just makes me not want to do anything at all lol. It’s like a chicken and egg problem. Maybe if I could find someone local to buy it, then I would do the new build. But then I’d have no nas for that in between time. Hmmmm.

I’m in the process of divorcing my one giant server into separate nas and compute-only machines, I was going to leave the big one as the nas and maybe swap out its guts for something more power efficient than the dual socket beast since it will only need to handle storage now, but it might be easier to sell as a whole and do an all new itx build 🤔

My wallet is gonna hate me.

I really like that little case. I have a fractal xl r2 right now and it’s a monster.

I’ve been considering moving to this build in particular for lower power usage and heat output, but they have some other dual socket builds if you want more cpu power.

Some good ideas on this site if you are interested in building your own https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-nas-killer-6-0-ddr4-is-finally-cheap/13956

Deluge or qbittorrent. If you use a vpn, binhex images are good.

Oof, yeah, didn’t think about that. Much more complicated.

We need a wiki of EVs that.has a section on each model enumerating which components are used to spy on you and videos showing how to neuter them.

I have been thinking we need something like this but for all new vehicles, not just EVs. Like instructables but for how to locate and rip out the cellular radio/antenna on every make and model that has one.

Damn. I’d have tried a chargeback, especially if their site is incorrect or misleading (idk how recently this was). It’s damn near impossible to see who actually has the best prices because you can’t tell what anything really costs until they tack on all the horse shit fees after returning the car.

Can confirm, got fucked by Hertz last time I rented a car. Who’s your go to?

You’re likely not going to find a premade dashboard that does exactly what you want, but grafana is extremely powerful if you’re willing to put in the time to learn it. There are ways to visualize things across hosts without having to configure things separately for every host. If you’re using the same mechanism to scrape metrics from each (sounds like you’re using prometheus + node exporter?), this could be as simple as adding a by (node) (or whatever the label name is if it’s not node) grouping to the query on each panel.

I went down a rabbit hole of shower head research recently and ended up with a Hammerhead. Been pretty happy with it.

My only contribution is to stay away from ultraloq. I have their zwave deadbolt and it’s terrible. I will probably replace it with something schlage.

Any recommendations for tranquilizer sentries that work with HA?
