    Spare mini PCs? What would you do with them?

    Jump

  • I have all my home infra on one beefy box, except for two things. These are services that I deem critical enough that I don't want them to have an outage at the same time as anything else.

    Opnsense gets a dedicated mini firewall pc, and Home Assistant runs on an old intel nuc

  • Steady

    Jump

  • They say they're holding steady, and they are, look at those graphs.

    They didn't say they were holding steady at ideal levels.

  • What happened with Sublinks?

    Jump

  • Everyone is ok with Python. It's a reasonable choice that's well known, well understood and doesn't have a lot of negatives. There's a million libraries for it so it's easy to get started and add support for new things.

    I've never met a hobbyist developer who writes Java for fun. It lives in the enterprise world mostly, and not much else that I've seen.

  • What happened with Sublinks?

    Jump

  • I have no knowledge, but would guess:

    • building an app is harder than people think
    • an opinionated community doesn't generally help
    • Java, eww.

  • My Proxmox had amnesia after a power loss..

    Jump

  • Does zram impede disk cache?

    Jump

  • Yes, configuring memory to be used for zram would mark it as unavailable for kernel fs caching.

    Does iostat show your disks being pegged when it's slow? Odd that performance would be so bad on those specs, makes me think you have disk Io issues maybe.

  • Proxmox Plex Hardware Acceleration

    Jump

  • FWIW I did this with jellyfin and ended up just using a vm instead of lxc. This way I could just pass the entire device through, not have to mess with drivers in my proxmox host, and not have to reboot all my vms/lxc just to apply updates.

  • Signal announces a backup feature that includes 100MB of storage for texts and the last 45 days' worth of media for free, or 100GB of storage for $1.99/month

    Jump

  • I don't think signal data is included in system backups unless your device is rooted. You'd have to go into signal and back it up explicitly.

    I just turned this feature on. I don't backup my device all, I just expect everything to be in my cloud.

  • What are some things for a new home owner to consider getting early on?

    Jump

  • A box running homeassistant with the appropriate zigbee / zwave dongle.

  • How long did it take you to get used to glasses?

    Jump

  • I've worn glasses my entire life and only once has trouble, when an optometrist was making my lenses incorrectly.

    This sounds excessive, you should go get things checked.

  • If Anubis is so great, why isn't it everywhere?

    Jump

  • What was your first distro?

    Jump

  • Slackware on a whole lot of lettered floppy disks.

  • Hand soaps voluntarily recalled due to bacteria that can cause life-threatening infections

    Jump

  • antibacterial soap

  • If you were in a room with your own pet and 99 identical pets, how would you pick out your pet (aside from calling their name)?

    Jump

  • Just give them commands, that aren't their name. Both my cat and dog do an assortment of tricks and are very food motivated.

  • Removed

    Budget small (ish) case for a nas.

    Jump

  • Fractal design, node case. One of them is a cube that takes 8x 3.5 and microatx. I used one for years and it was great.

  • Are we really seeing the fall of empire, or just the end of our illusions?

    Jump

  • That planet will be fine, humans maybe not so much.

  • Japan sets new internet speed world record — 4 million times faster than average US speeds

    Jump

  • Pretty clickbait title to compare a lab speed to average internet. I'm sure it's several million times faster than average Japanese internet too.

  • Hot take: 3D printing toys kinda sucks

    Jump

  • Most of the stuff people print, is crap that will go in the garbage in a week. I get it, I went through that phase when I got my printer too.

    If you learn how to design your own stuff, suddenly it becomes a really useful tool.

  • You have to say its yours dude

    Jump

  • phone stand in PETG with drooping overhangs

    Jump

  • I'd print it on the side, will make it stronger anyways. Less likely to lose layer adhesion.

    Edit: never mind, I think this is a print in place moving piece?

    Try decreasing your nozzle temp, might just be too soft.
