- Comment on 3D design software for 3d printing? 5 days ago:
Lots of people use fusion360. It has a free license for hobbyists. Although it is a cloud-first software. There is always the risk of them canceling that free license.
But I have yet to find a good enough replacement…
- Comment on Immich v2.2.0 adds OCR 1 week ago:
Why though? When you run multiple services on your machine, conflicts between these can cause headaches. Updating them is also often not trivial on bare metal. Let alone migrating to a newly set up machine (I suppose you could automate that with something like ansible)

What would you prefer and why? Bare metal?
- Comment on What is a good self-hosted solution for sharing files with friends? 1 week ago:
Are both parties online at the same time?
Maybe something like this is a good solution: github.com/magic-wormhole/magic-wormhole
It will figure out the fastest p2p connection and send even very large files without hassle.

Depending on the dongle, that would increase power consumption. I think that is difficult in the current state, seeing that there is not much power to spare at the moment.
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 2 weeks ago:
I am a hesitating running a VM in proxmox to run my docker services there. It doesn’t feel right to me (maybe I am wrong, what do I know…).
I also do not understand yet how this would work in a cluster. I don’t want all the services bundled on one node (then the whole cluster thing would have been a pointless exercise haha)
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 2 weeks ago:
And that is good! It would have been a better answer if you mentioned these major limitations as well so that interested people don’t need to look it up :)
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 2 weeks ago:
Please elaborate. I have only found that all drives will be treated as they would have the smallest capacity in the bunch.
There is some manual workarounds, which is would not call „can do it fine“
Or am I missing something?
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but it does not have redundancy or caching. Redundancy can be achieved with snapraid, but how you get caching I don’t know…

Free Tier? You mean the 30 day trial?
- Comment on Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ? 2 weeks ago:
Which is still not nearly as userfriendly as unraid.
With unraid I can browse the community store, click install and with juste one additional click I most of the time have this service fully running. It notifies me if there is an update and I can install updates with a single click.
With proxmox, I have yet to figure out how to update the installed services without manually ssh-ing in every single container and run a specific update command.
Unraid is light years ahead in terms of userfriendly ux for novice users.

Zigbee2mqtt can do scenes, no problem.
The only thing you miss is the hue app.
- Comment on Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica 4 weeks ago:
But you can buy a 10-20€ zigbee stick and connect them directly to home assistant. No hue bridge or account required.
- Comment on Multi node media server 4 weeks ago:
Do you want the data to be only stored once or twice? Or would it be an option to sync everything? This would be the easiest. Just set up 3 individual servers, set up syncthing between them, done.
It would mean that all server need enough storage though.
- Comment on Which would be better? 4 weeks ago:
Matter itself is just the protocol, not the wireless standard. There are lots of matter over WiFi devices, for those you don’t need this additional adapter, as they will connect to your WiFi router.
Thread is a wireless standard which is almost like zigbee, that is why there are some adapters that support both.
But thread border routers are also a thing in lots of devices. For example if you have an Apple TV, this can be used as a gateway with home assistant without additional hardware.
- Comment on Which would be better? 4 weeks ago:
Matter is not really big yet.
For zigbee adapters, take a look here: www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/
- Comment on Ender 3 v3 se y axis bearings loose in carrier. 4 weeks ago:
Try to somehow fix it in place, shim it for example. See if that works for now. When you got the printer printing at least a little, print a replacement part.
- Comment on Best Synology Replacement? 4 weeks ago:
I bought a HPE microserver gen10 plus and installed unraid on it, works perfectly. Truenas would also be an option.
It has 4 drive bays, 4 1 gig Ethernet ports and 1 pciex16
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I actually bought unraid before it became a subscription. And I must say, i really like it.
I am currently looking into Proxmox to build a small cluster to prevent critical services from becoming unavailable whenever I do stupid things… but… compared to unraid the learning curve and ease of use is much more brutal.

It will be a game changer when these things come down in price, like 1-200€. Not 500-1k like they are now

Fluctuations in layer height that are not visible? Dude, most printers are not even able to achieve a layer height consistency that would be invisible to the naked eye if they wanted to.

- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 4 months ago:
As an anecdote: I have one system (x86) with pi-hole and unbound in a docker, and a secondary raspberry pi with pi-hole running on bare metal. The docker system (although much more performant in general) has a lower latency as the raspberry bare metal install.
- Comment on Pihole + Unbound Docker Compose file 4 months ago:
I have all these services in docker as well (although not with the docker compose file here) and they run perfectly fine with a very low resource footprint.
