  • I'm just yanking your chain bro. Glad you are enjoying your self hosting journey. Rock on wid yo' bad self.

    I’m a rusty and recycled guy, not a new and shiny guy, but man some of this custom-built, laser-cut, 3d printed stuff is cool.

    Bet I'm more rusty of a guy than you are. LOL And yes the 3d stuff is wild. I use it a lot around the compound.

  • Congrats on the improved lifestyle now. I wouldn't say you have wasted hours. More so that you have invested in your privacy and data retention.

    'E' for effort nonetheless. That's pretty funny.

    I like your style bro. If you don't like it, you can go the way you came. Pretty damn refreshing. ^5

    Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead!

  • Is there any tape media backup system that works through USB?

    Jump

  • No shit. I still have a 5090 still stuck in my throat. $8k for a tape drive, hell, I could have got two 5090s.

  • Selfhosting payment processing

    Jump

  • That sucks. Personally, I wouldn't selfhost financial applications. I don't need that headache with my money or someone else's either. I hope you find a solution.

  • No worries. I use Square for my businesses, but they are not self hosted. They do take their skim off the top, but that's a cost of doing business.

  • Btop is my favorite top of all the tops. I run it regularly just to scope how things are processing.

  • VSeeBox: reverse engineered

    Jump

  • That's pretty wild man. Reminds me of a while ago, a lot of people got busted locally for selling loaded Kodi boxes at the flea market. I bought one out of mild curiosity from a greasy individual who I could tell wasn't the front man of the operation. Anyway, I booted it an ran wireguard against it. I don't have the skill this guy does in the video, but what I did see were a lot....a lot..of sketchy Chinese ip addresses. So, i shut it down and it resides in the junk bin.

I got a couple strange emails that were definably spam after hooking one up, so I wonder if there some kind of back door program working on these.

  • Observability

    Jump

  • What are you trying to observe? Just the server and applications? Traffic?

    Netata will give you just about every metric you could possibly use for a server. However and anecdotally, netdata seems to spawn a ton of zombie processes (https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/20565) which was quite annoying.

    If you're going for server traffic observability , I recommend ntopng. It's pretty comprehensive.

    Your shock or mine? The problem is akin to females that protest the patriarchy by taking off their clothes in public. I never seems to be any of the beautiful people.

  • On that site: Communal Luxury: The Public Bathhouse - Throughout history, people have bathed in public rather than in private. Should we bring back the public bathhouse for the sake of sustainability?

    The max amount of people I want in a bathtub is 2.

  • The mouse did not survive interrogation. Also mouse not pictured.

    I thought it was the huge heat sink that looks like it extends past the side plane of the cover. Reminds me of something I did with a CoolAir Cosmos tower. I mounted two 300 cfm fans over each CPU and took the side panel, neatly cut out the area around the fans, then 3d printed a scoop, with a slot for filtration, to fit on the side panel and allow the fans to breathe.

  • The part I quoted was one of their many tries. It seems now, after changing out the solar panel and battery, that they have greatly improved over 95.2%.
