Technically, all* could be. They’re just indexing the torrents that are out there.

*all = the ones that would list TV shows, etc. of course

I have this on my NAS, works well

Depends…

If someone’s just arrived home, the freezer door’s open, etc, then I’m using Home Assistant to speak / flash a light / etc.

If a device fails, then Uptime Kuma sends via to ntfy & gotify (I’m trying both atm to decide on one)

If it’s something I’ve done, then my partner tells me (arms folded, stern look)

I’m currently running both to decide which to use, what made you pick ntfy?

Not yet 🙂

Both services work well, but the (Android) app is also a consideration… Gotify appears to keep losing the connection, but as I have different alerts going via different routes I need to sit down and spend some quality time with these, which I don’t have at the moment.

SMART data will show the data you mentioned; age of the drive, max temperatire, etc.

Wow. Harsh comment.

Sorry, no disrespect intended, but I’m shocked. It’s like hearing someone say they drive a 1988 Toyota Cressida because it’s great…

How did you know I had an 88 Cressida? (jk)

You have good points there, but for a homelab, it does show some interesting insights (ie, I did an upgrade of my Raspberry Pi Zeros and saw how all their latency changed after the reboot… weird)

I’ve been using this for years as it just worked, but a recent update has broken it (a simple “v1.10 is earlier than v1.9” issue) and I had to rollback and have been waiting for someone to fix the bug for a few weeks, so, yep, the slowness of response is a fair point.

Ah, dunno, maybe I’ll look at some alternatives… one day…

What’s not to like?

Still alive & still maintained, and less resources than Grafana & Prometheus…

Uptime Kuma if I want something to alert me (still trying to decide between ntfy & gotify)

Home Assistant is also checking some stuff

Smokeping for a general, long term feel of the network

Watchdog to reboot my Raspberry Pi Zeros when they fall off the wifi

Taking this at different levels…

Offsite storage (assuming you have something at home): Hetzner storage boxes (2 different countries to choose from)

VPS for actually doing something, also Hetzner, but, I also use MythicBeasts for a UK specific host and they also host Raspberry Pi servers (not checked the price), so maybe that’s something to consider to dip your toe into the waters

They still are: Fairphone

That’s where I am today with my Fairphone.

I honestly held on to my old Nokia, replacing batteries and cases until Fairphone came along and then I jumped from 90’s tech to modern day.

0–>100% in 10 seconds (with a 2nd battery)

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, but you’re absolutely correct

This is the way

<insert Mandalorian gif here>

I have a mix…

I have a home built NAS running on Arch with local installation of Immich (ie not a container)

I also have a low power, passively cooed box with Proxmox installed to run VMs for Home Assistant, ansible, uptime kuma, smokeping, etc.

I only intended to run Proxmox to test it out (my Home Assistant was running on a Pi3 and getting too slow for Voice), as I’d been using ESXi for years at work.

I now want to migrate to Arch with Incus and move those VMs across, but as I currently only have the 1 host and hardware’s expensive, it’ll stay that way for a while…

(Bonus: I have a few RasPi Zeros scattered around the house too running various things bare metal)

Yeah, I get it. I do think containers encourage lazy integration - could be hard coded paths, or things like leaving apt in there, so no worries.

If you’re using Arch, Immich is in the AUR, that’s how I’m running it bare metal.

I have an ESP32 based switch between the power and my tablets which turn on /off the power between 80% and 20% using an automation in Home Assistant:

…esphome.io/…/sinilink-xy-wfusb-usb-switch-relay/

Been working well for a couple of years now, but still, the batteries in the tablets are gonna be the thing that determines how long this will work for.

@cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com this is the very important bit:

Document every step. <— important

Whatever you do will make sense for about a day, you’ll have a rough idea of what you did the following weekend, after that… all gone.

And, whatever you do won’t be right first time, so you will be editing those notes - all part of the journey

This one.

You can setup recurring tasks, tasks that speak to you, tags, multiple reminders (good for birthdays: next month / week / today)

And locations (although I’ve not tried that yet)

I think you’re allowing icmp in, but not back out again

Wasn’t even aware of opentofu until now

@AlThePilcrow@lemmy.blahaj.zone I’m using restic to backup my NAS to a Hetzner storage box. (1TB for ~€3/month)

It’s easy, and you can SSH into the box to verify what’s actually there.

Ask for it to be removed

I agree this is an old thing, my firewall has blocklists and allowlists to prevent known bad IPs and allow only the countries I travel to.

But if Nabu Casa is an outbound VPN, then my blocks won’t work. I’d need them to block

Either way it would make sense for HA to also use some crowdsourced blocklists as a 2nd level defense

I’ve not looked into Nabu Casa much, is it an outbound VPN from our HA instances to their servers? If so, maybe the Nabu Casa admins need a blocklist?

Ok, good luck 🙂

And if it wasn’t for your post I wouldn’t know he created Ruby on Rails

It’s been a while for me (I don’t upgrade things that work and I try to buy things that last a long time…)

But, Hotel Mode might still be a thing, and it might bypass some “smart” stuff on the TV

I used that to make my TV start on the correct external HDMI port for my MythTV instance running on Arch Linux (btw) with dual TV tuners in.

The TV is rarely used to watch live TV and it’s certainly not connected to any networking.

Just another approach that I’ve not seen mentioned here
