Printers are the devils work (made by HP).
But the docs are still easier to work with than some parts of Lenovos ThinkStations.At least HP has an override boot menu option)

- Comment on How often do you run backups on your system? 1 week ago:
I prefer Sonarr for management.
Problem is the auto matching.
It just doesnt always work.
Practical example: Looney. Tunes.and.Merrie.Melodies.HQ.Project.v2022Some episodes are either not in the correct order or their name is deviating from how tvdb sorts it.
Your best regex/automatching can do nothing about it ifLooney.Tunes.Shorts.S11.E59.The.Hare.In.Trouble.mkvshould actually be namedLooney.Tunes.Shorts.S1959.E11.The.Hare.In.A.Pickle.mkvto be automatically imported. - Comment on Help Reviewing My Server Setup? 1 week ago:
Oh, I only had it when mounting with compose. I did resolve it by uaing fstab.
Oh well… I hoped you’d have a better solution. At least that works very well.
- Comment on How often do you run backups on your system? 1 week ago:
This may work for you and please continue doing that.
But I’ll get the 1080p with a moderate bitrate version of whatever I can aquire because I want it in the first place and not grab whatever I can to fill up my disk.
And as I mentioned: Matching 500 episodes (e.g. Looney Tunes and Disney shorts) manually isnt fun.
Much less if you also want to get the exact release (for example music) of a certain media and need to play detective on musicbrainz. - Comment on Help Reviewing My Server Setup? 1 week ago:
Storage appliance/service offering storage over the network to other clients.
Dunno what else you want or define under the ‘NAS’-term. - Comment on Help Reviewing My Server Setup? 1 week ago:
Had issues with docker conpose mounting NFS storage.
Seemed like it got disconnected while in use by the container.
Did resolve it eventually by manually mounting it on the host.Any experience why?

Sometimes it’s just easier to build it from the ground up with all the knowledge you have gathered so far.
- Comment on How often do you run backups on your system? 1 week ago:
Maybe for common stuff but some dont want 720p YTS or yify releases.
There are also some releases that don’t follow TVDB aired releases (which sonarr requires) and matching 500 episodes manually with deviating names isn’t exactly what I call ‘fun time’.
Amd there are also rare releases that just arent seeded anymore in that specific quality or present on usenet.So yes: Backup up some media files may be important.

- Comment on Good mail server for selfhosting 1 week ago:
In theory you could use an smtp relay.
Which pulls the messages from the relay and also sends for you.
This way you won’t have to fiddle around with IP reputation.But you are still interacting with a cloud service…

My router is just that: A gateway
This follows a HW firewall (I intend to replace)
Behind that is- My proxmox host with a bunch of VMs (including the DHCP/DNS server)
- A raspberry PI (which I reformatted and had the trouble with getting a static IP)
- Bunch of other stuff like servers, NAS and stuff.

- Comment on Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS? 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for digging this “shallow” (lol. What you dug up is equal to my senior technician explaining the full tech stack of a client).
Anyway, I host the system disk on local disk and NFS storage acts as the mass storage for my VMs like my media server for jellyfin).
And I also do daily backups with Veeam Backup and Replication of both my most important files of my media server and the important VMs.
So in case of a data failure it should be more or less fine. - Comment on Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines. Now recommends a "manual correction" 2 weeks ago:
I tried doing it the debian way and (I believe) followed the instructions of one of the debian manuals.
Problem: Most assume (like you) that the DHCP server is always on and able to give out adresses. But sometimes life is in the way (and in my case: offline for maintenance) and it doesnt work with the DHCP option. - Comment on Microsoft gives up on users experiencing problems updating their Windows 11 machines.

Too bad when the DHCP server is down with the proxmox host ;)
