… searches for “Futa” on company laptop…
- Comment on Is ansible worth learning to automate setting up servers? 1 month ago:
I think others have covered the main points, but I found it hard going for 1 device (ie a Ras Pi, VM, etc), but then it was effortless when I wanted to add a 2nd (or more…), so at first pick the sensible uses, then consider ansible for that one-off device a little later…
I like a few specific utils (tmux, nmon, htop) on all my devices: ansible script
I want to update all the Ras Pis in the house: ansible script
You get the picture…

Yeah +1 for LLTV
- Comment on Is Radicale the way forward? 2 months ago:
Can Immich just leave my photos alone in their current location / folder structure, or does it take over and mangle it all up?
I’m fairly happy with my photo storage structure, but would like the features of Immich…
- Comment on Is Radicale the way forward? 2 months ago:
Originally the ability to find specific files by name - Joplin was storing with filenames in(I forget exactly) date or serial number…
But, more importantly it was the dynamic bi-directional links that you can just type and creates a new page, and that page shows all the references pointing to it.
I use this for work, so each day’s journal has meetings with subjects… go to that subject’s page and there are all the meetings I had.

I went from NC --> Joplin --> Logseq
(With syncthing)
- Comment on Why is replacement for home device controls so complicated? 2 months ago:
I think others have generally caught this, but I wanted to simplify the point: the apps on your phone are not controlling your home, a computer is. If you don’t use Google’s, then you’ll need to provide one.
- Comment on CalDAV web gui 2 months ago:
Hmm, I’m in a very similar situation… I think a few people use the calendar in Thunderbird for example, but I don’t use an email client.
What I’ve found that works well enough for me is the calendar in Vivaldi - I can see multiple calendars (ie other family members) Work, etc… so far it’s done me well.
- Comment on Pause alerts during the night 2 months ago:
Of course, but IMHO it’s worth checking the alternatives first before requesting an “obvious” (but only to me) feature that someone spends hours of their free time working on…
I was orignally hoping that the built-in mute could be scheduled, so that might be a suggestion.
So far DnD appears to be the option for me, now that I’ve thought about it more (after reading these comments) rather than trying to pause ntfy, gotify, etc…
- Comment on Pause alerts during the night 2 months ago:
Hmm. Interesting, just from the face down point of view… kinda like the “hide the screen = do not disturb” pov.
Thanks
- Comment on Pause alerts during the night 2 months ago:
Hmm, thanks, that seems like a good starting point - I’d not explored that entire option! Thanks

Thank you. I went quite light headed laughing about your statement.

+1 for Logseq
- Comment on Something gone bad 4 months ago:
Weird. netin was busy, yet the bottom of the screen implies more outbound traffic (I guess it’s connected the other way around?)
And the log looks like a SMB/CIFS issue… maybe not the interweb?
But, it definitely looks like something got stuck in a loop and triggered a memory leak.
Whatever VM / CT was using CPUs 7 & 10 at the time was the problem… find that and you’ll find the next step down the rabbit hole…
- Comment on LibreY vs SearXNG, which one do you suggest and why? 4 months ago:
They only see your public IP address (ie your router), so all devices on the private side will appear to be the same source.
So, if your laptop and your server (and anyone else at the same location) are connected to the internet via the same router, then, you’re the same source.
- Comment on SilverBullet: the self-hosted notes app for people with a hacker mindset 4 months ago:
Generally, user interfaces are hard work. If you just want to code, then having a web app means you’re already 50% done.
Actually should be 90% done, but each browser has differences which means more coding… I’m looking at you, Internet Explorer
- Comment on Second hand disks? 4 months ago:
In my experience both new and used drives either fail within the first few weeks or they go on foreverrrrr…
- Comment on Second hand disks? 4 months ago:
Do it. The last thing you need during a rebuild is the stress of not knowing how long / other issues with your specific setup.
It’s only "disaster recovery* if you’ve never practiced… orherwise it’s just “recovery”
- Comment on Webmail client with decent search and large mailbox support? 4 months ago:
+1 An old ISP of mine still uses RoundCube for their webmail, so if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for self hosters.
- Comment on Webmail client with decent search and large mailbox support? 4 months ago:
Give FairEmail a look…
- Comment on Best Filesystem for NAS? 4 months ago:
Still the same, or has it solved itself?
If it’s lots of small files, rather than a few large ones? That’ll be the file allocation table and / or journal…
A few large files? Not sure… something’s getting in the way.
- Comment on Best Filesystem for NAS? 4 months ago:
Where are you copying to / from?
Duplicating a folder on the same NAS on the same filesystem? Or copying over the network?
For example, some devices have a really fast file transfer until a buffer files up and then it crawls.
Rsync might not be the correct tool either if you’re duplicating everything to an empty destination…?
- Comment on Best Filesystem for NAS? 4 months ago:
Never had an issue with EXT4.
Had a problem on a NAS where BTRFS was taking “too long” for systemD to check it, so just didn’t mount it… bit of config tweaking and all is well again.
I use EXT* and BTRFS where ever I can because I can manipulate it with standard tools (inc gparted).
I have 1 LVM system which was interesting, but I wouldn’t do it that way in the future (used to add drives on a media PC)
And as for ZFS … I’d say it’s very similar to BTRFS, but just slightly too complex on Linux with all the licensing issues, etc. so I just can’t be bothered with it.
As a throw-away comment, I’d say ZFS is used by TrusNAS (not a problem, just sayin’…) and… that’s about it??
As to the OPs original question, I agree with the others here… something’s not right there, but it’s probably not the filesystem.
- Comment on Which OS do you use for your homeserver? 4 months ago:
This is the correct response
- Comment on Joplin alternative needed 5 months ago:
Logseq. That is all. (Oh, and syncthing…)
- Comment on Worth trying using a 15 years old notebook for self hosting? 5 months ago:
Be aware that some old laptops had weird combined chipsets that Linux just can’t use… I tried putting Linux Mint on a friend’s laptop for their kids to use and the networking (wifi and cable) just wouldn’t work… it was something that only Win98 / WinXP could use (from memory).
So just try anything in case you just need to ditch it - as someone else mentioned, treat it as a learning exercise.
- Comment on Question - ZFS and rsync 5 months ago:
Just another thought… Maybe just format the drives as a massive EXT4 JBOD (just for a temp test) and copy the data again - just to see if ZFS is the problem… maybe it’s something else altogether? Maybe - and I hope not - the USB source drive is failing after long reads?
- Comment on Question - ZFS and rsync 5 months ago:
I don’t have practical experience with ZFS, but my understanding is that it uses RAM a lot… if that’s new, it might be worth checking the RAM by booting up memtest (for example) and just ruling that out.
Maybe also worth watching the system with
nmon
orhtop
(running in anothertmux
/screen
pane) at the beginning of the next session, then when you think it’s jammed up, see what looks different…
