Im not saying your wrong but that design and that spefic fan is over a decade old now.
It might just be the brand/specific motor that people get on the market.

Get a heat gun. You can see it happening in real time.
- Comment on Air Purification 1 day ago:
In my area, we have annual fires that get pretty bad. Add in ag related pollution, allergies, etc…and air quality is almost always unhealthy.
Our local makerspace has partnered up with our local asthma collaborative to make custom PM sensors here: https://www.sjvair.com/
We have tried out a couple of designs and had actual science done on which custom air purifiers did the best. One of the members rigged up a airtight area and pushed smoke in. Got a couple of readings, then did the same test with the air purifier designs.
We found a couple that work well.https://github.com/opennukit/Nukit-Open-Air-Purifier/ is a good one.
One that we improvised was the following:
3d printed brackets, a filter, and some activated carbon and you have a good air purifier. Family uses these for white noise and air purification at night. It works wonders! The fan is 20$ at any wallmart, the filters are dirt cheap. And you can get huge rolls of activated carbon on amazon. No need to over complicate things, just bracket everything on, let it sit for a good 3-4 months, then look and see if anything needs replacing.
One note of caution, some of the huge box designs like the one OP is suggesting was having trouble with the engine overheating. Most of these box fans use the air to cool off the internals. If it doesn’t get that for many hours, it can start overheating. Just check after running whatever solution you come up with and make sure the engine isn’t getting hot.

Does lemmy.world use cloudflare?
Also im confused, is there a reason people dont like cloudflare? Other than eating up caching for the entire internet of course?
- Comment on A visual guide showing how to install GoToSocial via YunoHost 4 days ago:
Its perfectly fine not to. If you like the old twitter like interface and folling “people” rather than “topics” (like lemmy/piefed does), then you would like GTS. If the answer is no, keep using your fediverse that you like.
But yeah its relatively unique instructions specifically for Yunohost is what makes this article a good one.
Hope you have an awesome day!

Ngl i just have an old ass file server and drag/drop things there. Then copy/paste the ebook/audiobook over to the offending device. Boom done.

Looks great! GL!

It sticks around in other software just FYI. Maybe lemmy should have something that admins can do? Maybe something super admins can re-instate if a mod states should be un-deleted? I dunno.
- Comment on Cloudflare is down this morning 8 months ago:
Starbucks payments sure did.
Mostly at work. All our stuff was on Azure, so when it went down….I kinda just stood around for the day. It was up/down the entire day. So I went for a coffee lol.
- Comment on Cloudflare is down this morning 8 months ago:
Cache-ing is a hard problem to solve. For MANY years cloudflare was the cheapest and easiest way to solve the issue.
But the same people that started cloudflare have moved on or passed away. Now its just another corp. So yeah we are going to get downtime. In the corporate world, its the standard so no one is going to move off it.
…unless it keeps going down consistently.
For those who are in the know, does memcache work with lemmy/piefed? What is a good Cache for modern day systems?
- Comment on Cloudflare is down this morning 8 months ago:
So far this year its been:
1. AWS was massively down
2. Azure was down a week later
3. Cloudflare down multiple times this yearThats the ones that affect stuff at work. Fun times.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 9 months ago:
I love using it at work. Its a great tool to get everything up and running kinda like ansible. Paired with containerization it can make applications more “standard” and easy to spin back up.
That being said, for a home server, it feels like overkill. I dont need my resources spread out so far. I dont want to keep updating my kub and container setup with each new iteration. Its just not fun.

…ok so Im lying about my system for…some reason?
Synapse looks like its using 200M right now. It jumps to 1 GB when being heavily used, but I only use it for piefed and a couple of other local rooms. Honestly its not doing so much for us so we were thinking of getting rid of it. Its irritating to keep having to set up new devices and no one is really using it.
Peertube is much bigger running around 500MB just doing its thing.
Its a single family instance…you ok?
```

Welp OP did ask how we set it up. And for a family instance its good enough. The ram was extra that came with the comp. I have other things to do than optimize my family home server. There’s no latency at all already.
It spikes when peertube videos are uploaded and transcoded + matrix sometimes. Have a good night!

Freshrss. Sips resources.
The dd I do when I want. I have a script I tested a while back. The machine won’t be on yeah. Its just a small image with the software.

Couple of custom bash scripts for the backups. Ive used amsible at work. Its awesome, but my own stuff doesn’t require any robustness.

Hahaha that’s funny. I hope your not serous.
- Comment on Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting? 9 months ago:
Al my services run on bare metal because its easy. And the backups work. It heavily simplifies the work and I dont have to worry about things like a virtual router, using more cpu just to keep the container…contained and running. Plus a VERY tiny system can run:
- Peertube
- GoToSocial + client
- RSS
- search engine
- A number of custom sites
- backups
- Matrix server/client
- and a whole lot more
Without a single docker container. Its using around 10-20% of the RAM and doing a dd once in a while keeps everything as is. Its been 4 years-ish and has been working great. I used to over-complicate everything with docker + docker compose but I would have to keep up with the underlining changes ALL THE TIME. It sucked, and its not something I care about on my weekends.
I use docker, kub, etc…etc… all at work. And its great when you have the resources + coworkers that keep things up to date. But I just want to relax when I get home. And its not the end of the world if any of them go down.
