  • How should I mount my storage HDDs in Proxmox?

  • Ok cool to know, never done raid1 since the time I moved to btrfs...

  • Spam blocking in 2026

    Jump

  • That seems overkill, in fact my 20y old only address still works pretty fine, and with rspamd setup, with basic settings, the annoying few emails have been intercepted now.

    But indeed an extreme but effective approach, yours.

  • Thanks...wa easier than I thought to set it up, have updated my wiki but still a work in progress.

  • Do you have documentation or references on how to setup rspamd?

  • What? I have opnSense how would I filter spam with it?

  • Zfs for some reasons is always loved by the self hosting experts.

    Personally I don't like it because it's over complicated and not officially part of the Linux kernel.

    20y of self hosting for me means Linux software raid (raid1 then moved to raid5) and mostly ext4, recently (=last 2 years) upgraded to btrfs on my data raid. Btrfs at least is integrated in the Linux kernel and while has some drawbacks (don't do raid with btrfs, put btrfs on MD raid instead) its been super rock solid.

    I would have kept ext4, but thought why not try btrfs, and it's been so smooth that I had no reasons to go back.

    My AI designed, built, and deployed my persistent memory system. Never mentioned authentication. It was public for 11 days.

    Jump

  • We don't need fake ai written posts against AI.

    And frankly the only believable thing is the AI hallucinating.

    Even the point that auth was missing is not believable.

    Can I charge and give ethernet access to a mobile phone?

    Jump

  • The 80% is useless, batteries are not built to be charged continuously. I suggest you use a smart plug that you turn on and off periodically

    Jump

  • If you get the USB working, beware of bulging battery: its not a IF but a WHEN if you keep it plugged 24/7.

    Also,mostly depend on postmarket is kernel drivers what will actually work over USB.

  • How do you document your setup?

    Jump

  • I am using wiki. Is for a different project and I can't say I really prefer it over dokuwiki. They both have good points. I don't like the php dependency of dokuwiki but wikijs feels a bit overcomplex.

  • Thanks you, it means a lot. Just to be clear for whomever didn't go there: there is zero monetization, no ads, no profiling.

  • Cloudless Smart Home: Thread, Zigbee, ...

    Jump

  • I have the same experience. 5he worst ones are the cheap ones from aliexress. I think some of them generate lots of interference maybe by sending energy consumption updates too often

  • Cloudless Smart Home: Thread, Zigbee, ...

    Jump

  • In my experience I needed some routers, not smart plugs, to ensure a smooth mesh. Maybe my smart plugs where too cheap. Anyway, I added one router per floor and had no more devices dropping out randomly.

    A dedicated router is a small dongle connected to a USB power adapter in a wall outlet. Add to the mesh, and they only provide routing for other devices, no other function.

    Maybe you have better quality devices... I have lots of super cheap switches that behave weirdly without.

  • Cloudless Smart Home: Thread, Zigbee, ...

    Jump

  • My home has some 100 ZigBee devices... Definitely can recommend ZigBee. Lots of cheap options, specially anything from Sonoff is good quality.

    Some devices like thermo/igrometers and smart plugs you can go as cheap as aliexpress allow you....

    Some devices like TRVs, smart energy switches I would spend money for a Sonoff or equivalent price point.

    You need to invest in pure router devices too, specially in a biggish home. Definitely in multi-stories homes.

    And go with an high quality coordinator as well.

    You can check my wiki https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=homeautomation%3Astart which I wrote mostly for myself for future reference, in the hope it could be useful to others.

  • Buy a Home Assistant green and self. Host HomeAssistant itself

    Great software, and purchasing the green is a great way to support them. Also, the green is a beautiful and very high quality piece of hardware that's worth the money anyway.

    Buy also the thread/ZigBee dongle they provide, again, top quality for the bucks and also support the project.

  • UnifiedAttestation: European, open source Google Play Integrity alternative on the horizon, could impact banking & government apps.

    Jump

  • This is highly needed. An open alternative to play integrity is the only way forward. Something so critical cannot be left in the hands of US company.

    How many projects involve LLM-written code now?

    Jump

  • Llm is just a tool and it usage will only increase over time.

    There is nothing intrinsically bad in that, as with any tool, it's not bad per se, but how we use it.

    So, push for ethic and proper usage of AI, rather.

    Projects will use AI more and more, nothing bad in that. Provided it's used properly, vetted, tested, verified and such.
