⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What host names do you use?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
I might rename them. So, e.g. if I’d add another Pi5, the existing one would become rpi5-1 and the new one rpi5-2.

Wait until I tell you about all the small issues this zoo of devices brings with it… haha.

That one was called just rpi.domain.com, but didn’t stand the test of time…

A similar project in Europe (well, mostly Germany) is Freifunk.

Zabbix. It has native HTTP items and can do JavaScript and JSON processing on whatever comes back. All configurable via GUI.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NUT UPS support question⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
The xxx3 seems to be a slightly upgraded version that adds a colour LCD and USB charging ports. Apart from that, it seems to have the same features as the one without the 3. And the -R seems to indicate a “restored”/“refurbished” model.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨which softwares can I self host without public IP?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Did you configure NAT to the service(s) and/or DMZ to your internal server in your ISP’s router?

Not allowing even ping seems like it is against any sane networking configuration.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

After having been shafted by sublime text I will never believe anything called a “lifetime subscription” is such.

Care to elaborate?

AFAIR SublimeText licenses are always only for a specific major version. And they sometimes might work for the next major version. So, I guess you’ve just installed a newer version for which your lifetime license isn’t valid anymore.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve got the same Geekworm cases for all my Raspberries. Added some extra thermal pads in some strategic places and have them all without any active cooling at room temperature (20-21℃). They barely go over 55℃:

The 3B+ has soft-throttling (can be disabled) starting at 60℃, full throttling at 70°C. The 4 starts throttling at 80℃ and the 5 at 85℃. So, with that completely passive cooling I’m still far away from these margins. No need for any moving parts that will make noise at some point in the future.

Also, since the cases have ribs on both sides, I have my Pis standing upright to hopefully make use of the stack effect - which might contribute to the slightly lower than OP’s values.

Even if you pay they have no incentive to get you to stop paying (i.e. find a partner).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You can even use it to do the SSL part for a local non-SSL IMAP server. And, there’s a CrowdSec middleware as well, that will block blacklisted IPs.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which reverse proxy do you use/recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
it seems easier to manage stuff not in docker

Read into Traefik’s dynamic configuration. Adding something outside of Docker is as easy as adding a new config file in the dynamic configuration folder. E.g. jellyfin.yml:
```
http:

  routers:

    jellyfin:
      rule: Host(`jellyfin.example.org`)
      entrypoints: websecure
      tls:
        certResolver: le
      service: jellyfin

  services:

    jellyfin:
      loadbalancer:
        servers:
          - url: "http://192.168.1.5:8096/"
```
The moment you save that file it will be active and working in Traefik.

Or, you know, you could just use Apple’s feature and switch to a different Apple TV (device) user account? This should also switch to whatever accounts that user was logged in to in all related services.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you actually find fediverse boggers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You can configure it to make your author page also your ActivityPub profile (compatible with Mastodon). Once people subscribe to that author account, they will get notified of new posts and see them in their timeline. But IIRC there’s no support for historic entries, i.e. people will only see new entries from the moment they subscribed onwards.

E.g. my blog is available as @mbirth@blog.mbirth.uk within the fediverse. If you go there, you’ll most probably see an empty profile. Only when you follow that account, you’ll see future entries pop up in your timeline.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you actually find fediverse boggers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Feedle seems to be a normal RSS directory, but they make lots of noise on Mastodon - so I guess a lot of the blogs listed there will have some Fediverse representation as well…

A gas-fuelled heating thingy.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

Isn’t a thermostat essentially an on-off switch connected to a sensor?

Depends on your boiler. Some get a value from the thermostat depending on the difference to target temperature - which then makes the boiler control the heating intensity. And others just use an on/off kind of control.

In this place I’m renting here, there’s a Honeywell CM927 on the wall and a BDR91 which, indeed, seems to be just a simple on/off switch.

So, depending on your boiler, you could get away with a cheap Zigbee/Wifi switch module (mostly sold for lights - just make sure it has a separate switch circuit and is not sending live mains power to the boiler!) and feed room temperatures into Home Assistant via cheap temperature sensors. Then implement the whole heating logic in HA.

(nb. Most newer thermostats “learn” how long it takes to heat up the room to the target temperature and will adjust the starting time of the heating process accordingly. This way, you never have to change your schedules between winter and summer. This is also something you’d have to implement yourself, if you want HA to do all the heating.)
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Private parking rules review prompted by £2,000 five-minute fine⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It says the £2000 were accumulated over 10 different events. So, it’s more like £200 fine for 5 minutes - which still seems ridiculous.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, Synology and NFSv4 is a bit hit or miss if you don’t use a Kerberos server. I’ve experimented with that back in 2018 to no avail: blog.mbirth.uk/…/synology-nfsv4-with-id-mapping.h…

I don’t know anything about Neptune, but a Fediverse-version of TikTok is Loops.video.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic with Android Auto support, now with continuous playback, new codec support and more!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Well, it’s not a protocol, Subsonic is an app that became pretty famous in the MP3 era and had a nice API for which various clients were developed.

The source code was Open Source in the early days which was forked into e.g. AirSonic.

Both projects are dormant for a few years now. That’s why new ones have emerged that simulate the same API so all the client apps can still be used with them.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic with Android Auto support, now with continuous playback, new codec support and more!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Ah, so alternative implementations. I’ve still got a license for the original Subsonic, but that hasn’t been updated in years by now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic with Android Auto support, now with continuous playback, new codec support and more!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Subsonic? Is this still a thing?
