The HBA can definitely handle hot swapping, but I’m pretty sure you need a backplane for it to work. If I remember correctly, it needs the capacitors on the backplane’s PCB to allow for the power drain. I’m not sure those cables alone will do.
I have this HBA in my homelab server and was surprised to find it has two SAS controller in it. I can’t remember exactly what I had to do to flash it, but I needed to flash both controllers using an EFI prompt so they became one controller. It took an afternoon of research, but I eventually flashed both of them to IT mode and it worked as expected. I’m pretty sure this thread helped me at the time:
Good luck!
This caught me. I had to restore my instance from backup yesterday after loading the app and it not working. I use the fdroid version and it won’t be updated for a while…
Remember, always backup you data, kids.
Just a quick FYI, Kubernetes is not just LXC. It can run just about any container type you throw at it. It seems like a superb platform :)
Yeah, I use Proxmox at home and however much I love the product, it’s not really enterprise ready. There are too many missing features and 3rd party integrations that come as standard with vSphere. Our future is probably in microservices. The cost saving benefits of auto scaling, while also being vendor agnostic are very attractive.
We are. Where I am, the money men are (rightly) scared and we’re looking at our options. I’m currently assessing Kubernetes as an alternative. The benefits to containerization are too great to ignore, but if we go that route, the workload to migrate our services is definitely going to sting for the next few months. Thanks Broadcom…
Yep. When I first set up my instance, I couldn’t believe how slow it was. I set up redis using the Nextcloud documentation and its like butter now.
De-Googling is something I did about 5 years ago. It took me about 6 months on and off, but I’m super happy I did. There are always other (and actually better) alternatives to their services. The only one that I struggle not to use is YouTube - the alternatives are all worse.
More often than not, adverts are about brand awareness. You might not buy that car based off that advert right now, but when you do decide to buy a car, you’ll remember that brand name and they become a consideration.
I hate adverts.
He is the nerdiest of the nerds, but I wouldn’t call him a neckbeard.
I met him once. Very nice guy.
I’ll keep it short and sweet.
I’ve been using Manjaro for about 6 years now.
When I had an Nvidia GPU, it would break after quite a few updates and need a rollback.
Then I moved to an AMD card, and I haven’t had any issues at all.
Like…at all.
The End.
Not seen this before, I’ll give it a go. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for the suggestion. This does work. You can force the dock to a specific screen, but then it doesn’t autohide (dodge) as it still thinks the other random screen is the primary and only triggers off that. Still, this may be the answer if nobody can suggest an alternative.
I bought a couple of Echo’s and they are excellent little devices. However, I’m not seeing any delay at all. Probably half a second or less before I get a response. I do find that if its a command I haven’t used before, it can take a few secs, but after that its basically instant. I suspect it is all hardware based as the HA VM is running on some beefy hardware.
An issue I have a lot is the voice breaking up as it talks back to you. Sounds like someone with bad mobile reception. It happens maybe 50% of the time. I figured things would get better as the system gets developed further.
I was in your position a few years back. I missed MediaMonkey when shifting to Linux.
I found Tauon media player was a pretty solid replacement for playing local and network files, but ultimately settled on running Navidrome server and Feishin as a desktop client. I haven’t looked back.
For organising your collection, I’d look at using either Musicbrainz Picard (GUI based) or Beets (CLI, and it’s a little complicated at first). I generally use Beets with Musicbrainz database, and the Discog plugin for anything not found by MB.
I haven’t found anything that is a complete package like MediaMonkey, but with a bit of effort and once the parts are set up, it’s so much better.
I honestly don’t know what would happen, but I wouldn’t try it. Hard disks are sensitive things.
