I recently upgraded my gaming pc from Bookworm to Trixie. It was fairly painless. Had to fiddle with some third party repos, but I anticipated that and read up on them beforehand.

Until Tailscale IPOs and starts locking the clients down, like BitWarden is doing right now.

Usenet is still very much a thing.

I use Eweka.nl (Usenet access) and NZBGeek (indexer). Works well.

You can fix that by simply not playing games with invasive DRM.

Maybe for the shit-tier excuses for AAA “games” that are little more than glorified profit generators storefronts for pointless skins.

Just stick with OMV, its solid.

Fair point.

Too fucking bad, pussy.

Anecdotal: I like like my OG UDM. Bought it the year it came out. No issues in almost 7 years.

Unifi is one of those brands where this phrase applies: “when it works, it works really good.”

People will see those comments, buy the hardware, and some of them will have bad experiences. You will hear about those bad experiences way more often than someone who hasn’t had any issues with the same hardware in the same timeframe.

That’s how it is with pretty much every consumer-focused network equipment brand.

That’s why they’re asking here.

It is a huge problem here, unfortunately.

Not in the US they aren’t.

No thanks, double-NATing is not my idea of fun when it comes to self-hosting.

I’m honestly not entirely sure. I’ve been eyeballing Valetudo for a few years now, but the price of the supported robots was out of my budget until I happened onto the $20 Wyze from eBay. Took a chance and won big. I’m into it a whopping $65. And a bit of labor to swap the motherboard (mine refused to run ADB at all). But that’s the fun part for me.

So, uh, exactly how “old” is that server? Because, if I understood it correctly, it should be based on 8th gen Intel, which makes this a solid piece of equipment in any homelab (provided you can deal with the noise and power draw).

As tempting as that is, I’m not expecting to build up something that hefty. Love the wireminding and all, but I’m hoping to keep this as something I can mount nicely in my teeny tiny network cabinet. The horsepower I’m looking for, alongside the low thermal and power loads, are my goal. Maybe I’ll expand beyond eventually, but who knows?

Understood! I’m just showing you that a tiny/mini/micro PC is incredibly beefy for what it is, especially when you stuff it with an i7 and a bunch of RAM.

Thank you for the suggestion though! Also love the R&C refs :) Still need to finish Rift Apart.

I name all my physical machines after R&C characters. HA is “Ace” as in Ace Hardlight, and the Optiplex on the left (running Frigate) is “Skrunch”… As in Qwark’s monkey sidekick 😂

Rift Apart was super fun. The final battle sequence is awesome for grinding if you wanna 100% the game. I’ve got it down to a science haha.

I use RPi 4 2Gb for Pi-Hole.

Pi-hole will run on far less than that. I run Pi-hole and PiVPN on a Zero W. Uptime is over a year now.

Buy a 7th gen Intel based tiny/mini/micro PC instead of a Pi or NUC. You get much more bang for your buck. 35W max draw. They are far more capable than people give them credit for. I run 3 of them (4 if you count the Mac mini).

That’s kinda their schtick though. They’ve been that way since before they split off from Owncloud.

Same here. Dockge is also developed by the Watchtower dev.

It’s so much easier to use than Portainer: no weird licensing shit, uses standard Docker locations, and works even with existing stacks. Also helps me keep Docker stacks organized - each compose.yaml lives in it’s own folder under /opt/stacks/.

I have 4 VMs on my cluster specifically for Docker, each with it’s own Dockge instance, which can be linked together so that any Dockge instance in my cluster can access all Docker stacks over all the VMs.
