  • Yeah, I have 3 Ruckus APs scattered around the house and the devices are on their own SSID which I've VLANd off and blocked from the internet... until it's time to do updates.

    The Zeros are in far corners of the house to get a better idea of which location people are with the Bluetooth detection, but in the end I just had to throttle their bandwidth (in the Zeros) and they seem more stable now... hopefully won't impact you, so it's just an FYI 🙂

  • Nice. Did you have to sell a house to afford the parts?

  • I found the best thing to deal with a device that won't work...

    I'm trying to get the 3.5" adafruit touchscreen working and it's being stubborn....

    So... I went outside and split a large pile of logs.

    Problem still not fixed, but I feel a hellofalot better

  • Hmmm, ok, I'll try it again...

    And the touchscreen 👍🏻

  • Playing around with it today, I've found Moode works fine...except for the 3.5" touchscreen... it literally turns off the power to the screen (which is showing a CLI login prompt) when I enable the WebUI.

    Notneven heard of konstakang, so I'll check it out.

  • Nice.

    I've had a lot of problems with Pi Zero W(2?) falling off the wifi.

    Not sure if it's because I'm using them for bluetooth presence detection, so they're scanning all day... but it's put me right off using them for something like music.

    YMMV

  • Yeah, I installed it again yesterday...

    Seems really unintuitive after the initial setup steps (which do a good job of walking you through the initial setup), so I did bork it up once.

    I think the hardest point for me is that it's based on Tiny Core Linux, so I can't install anything else (ie even tmux), so I'm having issues with getting the touchscreen working.

    I'll try Moode today...

  • Ooh, good point about Home Assistant / Music Assistant... I hadn't considered that.

    I have HA running the house, and really, I just didn't see the point of Music Assistant when it first came out... maybe worth re-visiting. Not looked to see if that can stream remotely, but I guess it's possible ...

  • Kindof, if I understand correctly, that's part of piCorePlayer:

    https://docs.picoreplayer.org/components/

    TBH, when I tried piCorePlayer a few years ago, it felt like a bunch of things duct-taped together, so I don't really know which bits were which.... maybe I'll try lyrion separately...

  • SMART data on some old drives, can anyone beat my powered-on times?

  • Fuuuukkkk...

    Longer uptime than you'd been alive!

  • I just hope you've got backups 🙂

    Seriously though, we found an old Dell server at work that hadn't been rebooted for years.

    We knew that it was fine whilst it was running, but the stress of a reboot would finish it off with all those POST fan speed tests, RAID array tests, etc.

    We took as much data off it that we thought might be relevant and rebooted it.

    1 drive failed immediately. 1 fan must've had all the dust as that blew out a cloud during the fullspeed test.

    A few days later more drives started failing and it just gradually died.

    It was actually a sad day when we powered it off for the last time. 🥲

  • Where my klitoris users at?

    Jump

  • Probably the correct location most people would use that app.

  • rm -rf /usr due to typo

    Jump

  • Jeez. Didn't hear about that one, back in the day.... wow.

  • Homelab Documentation

  • I'm kinda overlapping with a few other comments here, but perhaps adding a little...

    As others have said, getting something down is the main point, so I keep everything in Logseq markdown files. The instantaneous ability to create links between topics means that I can write a note about installing [[X]] and then realise I should mention I had to update the [[DHCP]] and [[DNS]] entries... job done.

    I try to automate things in Ansible and put rough notes and URLs I was following in the ansible file. I recently setup an old Ras Pi 1 B+ as a NUT server and the instructions on 1 site didn't work correctly, so I just threw links into the comments and mentioned it in Logseq... next year I'll visit it all again and maybe improve the notes.

    I also have a DEATH.txt file which my partner knows where to look... that gives them a high-level overview of what's going on, where the keepass and logseq files are, etc. Maybe they'll understand, but our friends will be able to help... just in case...

  • I moved from Backblaze to a Hetzner storagebox, to backup my Arch (btw) NAS.

    Simpler to work with and cheaper.
