PEP8 is looking at you
- Comment on Misadventures with my first server (On a old laptop) #1 9 months ago:
You are correct, there is a lot more to dive in like NAT, IPv6, static or dynamic address, UPnP, MAC address, subnet space etc.
But I wanted to keep it simple.
- Comment on Misadventures with my first server (On a old laptop) #1 9 months ago:
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ) is a communication protocol that is used to coordinate a network via a server. The server in most home cases is your internet router. It coordinates the network.
Think of your network as a town with streets, every street has a unique name aka network address. So when a new device gets into the town it gets a unique address in a certain format, when requested by the clients. Mostly IPv4 i.e. 192.168.178.20.
Second there are ports. Ports are the house numbers of the streets. So if two devices use the same IP they still can be differentiated by using different ports. To address a specific port you write it behind the IP, in our example 192.168.178.20:80. So we use port 80.
To come back to the beginning the router coordinates the IP addresses and the ports from your internal network via DHCP and makes sure every device is accessible and no doubles.
There is a lot more but very briefly this is it.

Its not reddit by all what that means.
Welcome!

Uhh, this seems like a completely new rabbit hole to dive in.
- Comment on Is it okay to wash hands with body soap? 10 months ago:
Soap, beside giving a good smell, has one job. It breaks up the water surface tension to enable it cleaning of the skin surface. Normally the water would not reach the wrinkels of the skin and would not take the contamination off it.
So any soap is good to go. The other stuff in soap like smell and moisture effects don’t matter that much in general and are overrated imoho.

Pocketbook anyone?
- Comment on BUG: OpenZFS data corruption 11 months ago:
Jep, it seems like Damocles Sword was hanging above us the whole time (⊙_⊙)
- Comment on BUG: OpenZFS data corruption 11 months ago:
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is on ZFS 2.1.5
Nope!
OpenZFS through 2.1.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.1 contain this bug.
This issue occurs less often in version 2.2.1, and in versions before 2.1.4, because of the default configuration in those versions.
From here
- Comment on BUG: OpenZFS data corruption 11 months ago:
For all Proxmox users it looks like the new ZFS kernel module with the patch is included in the opt-in kernel 6.5.11-6-pve for now.
The kernel 6.5 actually became the default in Proxmox 8.1, so a regular dist-upgrade should bring it in. Run “zpool --version” after rebooting and double check you get this:
zfs-2.2.0-pve4 zfs-kmod-2.2.0-pve4
As this versions are patched for bug.
- Comment on What do you use for cloud storage and why? 1 year ago:
Syncthing to my selfhosted proxmox server at home then rclone encrypted and unencrypted depending on content, to my cloud storage. Fully automtatic meanwhile.
Rclone syncs to various cloud services so the provider doesn’t matter from a technical point of view.
- Comment on What got you into coding ? (aside from money) 1 year ago:
It started with typing in BASIC code out of magazines. Used an Apple II those days. I missed the step going into pascal, C etc and stuck with basic syntax more or less my whole life. Not spagetti code anymore but still some BASIC derivates. B4X is what I use on Android now to create native APK.
Also I love IDEs with an integrated graphical interface designer. VB6 was my thing.
Over the years I used assembler, sql, bash also but always as tools to get my hardware to do what I need. The software I wrote was/is for my own convenience at work and in private. Written for PC and Android.
I tried to go commercial one time but the lawyer I talked to shattered my dreams because of insurance requirements when you write software used in peoples air transport business. If something goes wrong you really have a problem.
My Android software uses databases filled with scrapped data so can’t make them official as well. The royalty fees to pay if I try the official route kills every attempt before starting.
So it’s still a hobby, very satisfying but not more.
- Comment on Jellyfin on Proxmox 1 year ago:
So since the LXC route is promoted here take a look into these Helper Scripts they make the use of LXC very easy.
That said you could still adjust parameters afterwards and when you feel comfortable with.
- Comment on How to Dimension a Power Supply for an Audio Amplifier ? 1 year ago:
When I look around then this amp, taking your statement with the rectifier, it needs symetrical ± AC supply as an input.
For a mono amp the transformer would be 120W / 2x25V per amp. You need more because of the loss the amp includes
Depending on your setup and build maybe several transformers would be better. Or you add all up to 960W trafo.

Calibre Server to host.

Pocketbook as my favorite reader.
- Comment on Server Hardware? 1 year ago:
This is a repost from my suggestion some weeks ago:
I went for the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro altogether.
Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. 6 LXC running motioneye, plex, pyload with openvpn, syncthing, rclone cloud backup and openbookshelf.
Typical power usage is around 20W
That said it could also run on PicoPSU
- Comment on Holidaymakers advised to take extra hygiene precautions 1 year ago:
I live in europe and do a lot of holidays within europe:
- never ever drink water from the tap during holidays
- brush teeth with bottled water
- always carry a small bottle of sanitizer
- only eat well done cooked food
Never did it different.
- Comment on Need help deciding on hardware 1 year ago:
Not yet. All of the LXC containers run on 2 cores of the 4 and 2gb of RAM and 512MB swap where reserved. I can address more power if needed.
As none of my services run constant on full power the low power of the CPU is not a problem. I serve only my home with it.

- Comment on eReaders for Selfhosted book collections 1 year ago:
We (3) use Touch HD 3 since several years now. As an upgrade (larger screen and side holding) we just ordered one Era in silver (16gb).
I started with a pocketbook 360, a 5 inch side holding reader. It is nice to see that the go back to another side holder version again, the 360 was, because of this, my favourite.
- Comment on eReaders for Selfhosted book collections 1 year ago:
