I have an HP Proliant G2 tower server case from the early 2000s. Its got 9 drive bays (if you include the floppy drive bay).

Hilariously, it’s ATX compatible, so I stuffed it with an older Asus motherboard (7th gen Intel + i7-7700T, w/NVME slot), 16GB DDR4 RAM, ~650W ATX PSU, and an LSI SAS card. Now I just need to migrate everything over to it from my older Mac Mini that’s currently serving as the NAS…

I’ve never run a full blown Debian OS

Ubuntu is literally just Debian with Canonical’s bullshit on top.

I tend towards ubuntu lts pro with automatic upgrades and reboots.

This can be done easily on Debian, too. Without an artificial limitation.

Don’t use Ubuntu as a server. Pretty much every server application will run happily on Debian, meanwhile Canonical keeps adding shit that is Ubuntu-specific.

Ubuntu used to be the go-to, but Canonical is quickly becoming the poster child for Linux enshittification.

The linked post is fairly positive. I’m not too worried - we’re probably gonna see an uptick in user friendliness.

It’s a salute. o is the head, 7 is the arm and hand.

Fair enough. I’d like a web client as well, honestly, but Signal does ship desktop clients for Windows, Mac, and even Linux.

I’m actually using the Linux desktop client to chat with my wife right now.

My wife and I tried Signal a while back and didn’t care for it.

What about it didn’t you like? I have no investment in Signal, my curiosity is just piqued since my wife and I use it.

My wife and I use Signal. It works well.

Tailscale. It’s free.

Something about Tailscale rubs me the wrong way. That “free” aspect, specifically. No company ever runs a free service without some sort of compromise somewhere.

Porkbun master race!

Did you just go for 3.0, or did you do “baby steps” in between? (e.g. 1.138 > 2.0 > 3.0)

Pretty much that. Downloaded the latest compose.yml, copied all the relevant bits from my existing compose file to the fresh one (volumes, database/db credentials, etc), set the version to v2.0.0, and let 'er rip. Made sure it was playing nice, then checked all the changelogs up to 2.7.x (whatever patch was the newest last week), set the version to v2, and updated it again.

Fast forward to this week, all I did was set the version to ‘v3’ and the update took without a problem.

Just find an old office PC. It’ll do just as much as (if not more than) an Xbox One X, which runs even older hardware.

7020 with the i7-4790

I’ve got a pair of those in my basement closet just waiting for something to do. The 4790 will always have a special place in my heart 😂

Oh, same here. As soon as I discovered Immich, I pored through all the info I could get my hands on and found that breaking changes happened often, so I made absolutely certain to read every changelog for things that may affect my setup. I sstopped updating it last year due to life getting in the way, and it was stuck on 1.138 (and shut off) until last week when I decided to pay attention to it again.

Downside: breaking changes are fairly common AFAIK.

Breaking changes only come with major version changes now.

I literally just updated mine two days ago 😂

Ah yes, I forgot about the merge ability. Pretty sweet protocol, honestly.

Keepass has native support for ftp, http, https, and webdav, and with a plugin supports scp, sftp, and ftps through the native save/open from url. There are even plugins for proton drive, google drive, onedrive, s3, box, dropbox… etc.

Important distinction: The OG KeePass desktop program supports that. KeePass XC (popular fork for Linux users) does not, and the maintainers have loudly rejected any attempts to add it.

So I’d there a server + local system? Like Joplin… You can write notes all day with no server at all. The server just Synchronizes it all. In the past I used syncthing and I will continue using it. One thought was to have an automated backup from Vaultgarden that was automatically synced to my various devices as a Keypass database.

This is exactly how I use KeePass, and is fully supported as well. Set it up, import the VW database (might need some fuckery to do so, I’ve not played with VW), place the KeePass database in a location that makes sense to you on your device, then sync that folder via Syncthing to your other devices.

You’re using Linux, obviously, and the OG KeePass program was never written for Linux, so you’ll want a fork called KeePass XC. Unfortunately, the XC team doesn’t support plugins, but that should be a non-issue if you’re using Syncthing. Just point XC at the folder that’s being synced and you’re golden.

What other platforms are you using? Android? iOS? Windows? There are many forks of KeePass available for every platform. they are all cross-compatible and can utilize the same database.

I have a Pandora subscription. Trying to make it play nice with Music Assistant.

So we took a look trying to figure out why her phone wasn’t giving HA a consistent location… She likes to turn off the camera/mic/location killswitches 😂

Quick fix haha, but at least we know that Graphene is doing the thing that it’s known to do!

Interesting. Thanks for the screenshots, I’ll have my wife check those settings.

Here’s mine (that sorely needs updating, but it’s LAN only, so…meh). I have a separate stack for media players (Plex, JF) and downloaders (sabnzbd, qbittorrent), which is what the network config at the bottom is for:

I want to say I enabled it, but I’ll have to check again.

Does it affect the battery usage much by increasing the poll rate?

Home Assistant location doesn’t quite play nice with GOS. My wife and I have been looking for a Life360 replacement ourselves. She runs Graphene, and it’ll grab location periodically, but it’s not consistent.

So i’m moving to one of the new unifi doorbell lites until I find a better solution, or bite the bullet and buy a higher end one.

I really wish they made these with wifi capabilities. I would love to run a POE doorbell, but renting makes that very difficult.

I’ve got that UDM as well. It’s been doing the thing just fine since 2020.

Moved to a bigger place a few years ago, so I added an AP to resolve poor wifi coverage in certain areas. Works great, no complaints.

Proton encrypts your emails. Clients like Thunderbird aren’t capable of handling that (yet).

Ohhhhhhhhhh

Man I need to read better
