- Comment on Best plex/jellyfin compatible streaming box 2 days ago:
I have had several firetvs which I really can’t recommend anymore. I don’t mind roku with jellyfin client and an adblocker like pihole except the garbage “daily trivia” options that pop up on the sidebar that you have to hide once a week is annoying. Currently use an Nvidia shield with a custom launcher isn’t a terrible experience, except for the fact that I have to reboot it all the time because it’s glitchy as shit and it was overpriced.
I’m tempted to next try the NUC with that fancy KDE big picture mode I saw get a facelift recently.

- Comment on What else should I self-host? 1 week ago:
Home Assistant? Maybe a homepage like Heimdall or some other dashboard? Maybe Uptime Kuma to notify you when your services go down? Definately a pihole or adguard home. Biggest quality of life improvement. It’s the biggest thing my wife notices and approves of. She audibly groans in disgust when she leaves the LAN on her cellphone and sees all the ads and garbage that had previously been blocked. My pihole dashboard show 70% of the requests are blocked on my LAN. And everything works great.

Yes you can cluster devices. I have a NAS in addition to the my laptop proxmox cluster. It lets me use the NAS as storage, so the VMs/lxc’s virtual disks are actually on the NAS. This allows me to make the VM/LXCs Highly Available. So if one laptop crashes it’ll automatically spin up the things running on that laptop on a different one. This can also be done with ceph, but I already had the NAS, so ceph seemed redundant.

Either or both will likely work just fine depending on how broken the acreen is. The virusy windows would be easiest (sometimes macbooks are harder to get everything working due to drivers, windows ones typically just work). But the virus will be removed when you install proxmox. I currently have 3 laptops in various degrees of old and broken being used as a proxmox cluster.
- Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner? 1 week ago:
Do you have any old hardware lying around? Old gaming pc, or an old laptop? Doesn’t matter if it has a broken screen or keyboard or trackpad or can’t upgrade to win11. Maybe ask around if someone you knows has something similar.
I’d start with that. Then save the money for an upgrade to the old hardware like adding some extra RAM and a big refurbed hdds.

Done this with massive log files. Used perl and regex. That’s basically what the language was built for.
But with CSVs? I’d throw them in a db with an index.
- Comment on [Opinion] Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up 4 weeks ago:
Eh, kinda pointless article rant. OK, Firefox is dead to you due to some recent bad decisions they’ve made. I don’t disagree.
But that’s it, end of opinion. Chrome is way worse. Grabbing a firefox fork doesn’t fix all your complaints. Might fix their T&C issue, but not the dropping of features.
Chromium? Puh-leeze. You’re trusting google to behave in an un-google fashion. It’s still going to phone home and upload all your data. Downstream fork that claims privacy and security? I have doubts.
At this point it’s all a browser garbage fire. Just because one is getting more rancid doesn’t make the alternatives any more appealing.
- Comment on FreshRSS weirdness 1 month ago:
Cool, did you install freshrss as a docker container, or as a package? I’ve also had issues with it not setting up crons and running them properly before too. Running the docker container helps, usually.
- Comment on FreshRSS weirdness 1 month ago:
Depends, take a look at the rest of your settings in the Archiving page.
You might have set “Never delete Unread Articles”.
Also, that purge job is on a cron. I’m not sure how often it’ll run. Could be once a week or even month. Thousands of rss articles and links are only a few megabytes big. But you can push the “purge now” button at the bottom of the archiving page to check your settings.

- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 1 month ago:
Having gone through the approval process at a large company to add an open source project to it’s whitelist, it was surprisingly easy. They mostly wanted to know numbers. How long has it been around, when was the last update, number of downloads, what does it do, etc. They mostly just wanted to make sure it was still being maintained.
In their eyes, they also don’t audit closed source software. There might also have been an antivirus scan run against the code, but that seemed more like a checkbox than something that would actually help.
- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 1 month ago:
DACs are great, agreed. However try telling that to the guy next door. The reason ethernet got to be so popular was because of how familiar it was and similar it us to telephone wire. There were several other competing standards befofe ethernet won.
10GbE cards and switches help regular folk upgrade without needing to learn about DACs.
- Comment on Realtek's $10 tiny 10GbE network adapter is coming to motherboards later this year 1 month ago:
Right?! Most affordable 10G switches are SFP+ which requires a lot more research to make sure you get the right modules and cabling.
- Comment on Descentralized AI book reading server 1 month ago:
Not quite what you’re asking for, but you can self-host ollama. And based on some recent lawsuits against meta, I’m pretty sure all companies are using as many books as they can get their hands on to train their models. And so their training set contains the books you have in Calibre and more.
Try asking llama3.3 or whichever model you choose your questions.

Huh, maybe my TrueNAS experience is a little dated. Last I used it, everything was k8s and bo docker-compose at all.

Some advice, TrueNAS isn’t very newbie friendly. Between permissions and their wonky kubernettes setup that no containers actually leverage, it’s not great. It is free, but expect bumps in the road. Unraid and OpenMediaVault are much easier to use. I switched to Unraid, and it’s been amazing, I highly recommend it. It’s nice that you can install random sized drives, they don’t need to match. You can toss in a few ssds for cache, and the docker containers are super easy to setup and maintain. Jellyfin works just fine for instance. OMV has some great offerings too, but lack the docker/VM hosting side. It’s a NAS and nothing else. It’s expected to have proxmox or something hosted elsewhere that uses OMV as storage.
#2 opinion, build your own NAS. Especially if you’ve already built your own Gaming PC, it’s pretty straight forward. Pick a low powered cpu, toss in some ram, a ton of hdds, and maybe some old graphics card you have lying around for transcoding or hosting local AI for kicks. You’ll get a lot more for your money this way.
- Comment on How to reverse proxy? 1 month ago:
A lot of people aren’t big fans of Nginx Proxy Manager, which is separate from Nginx. But I like it. It’s got a nice gui, and the part I really like is the letsencrypt ssl certs baked in. You can get a new one, for a new service with a click of a button, and it auto renews your certs, so you don’t have to worry about it once it’s set up.

So, something to note is that a lot of UPSs have a configuration for sensitivity. Your power actually fluctuates quite a bit, but you don’t notice. I have my UPS on the default sensitivity, and there have been a few instances of it going onto battery power when none of my other devices even flickered.
So, with that in mind, I use NUT. My server has it setup and it’s set to gracefully shutdown after my UPS hits 25% battery remaining. That way false positives don’t shut it down, nor will small flickers, nor will an outage less than an hour or so. My UPS says I can run for about 90mins on current load.

Basically not to. Open one for a VPN like Wireguard to accept incoming connections, and that’s it. Use the VPN to connect to your home network and access your services that way.

Yep, if you have somewhere to put a docker container or VM you can have redundancy.

Right, I never said two raspberry pis, I meant two instances. Like one pi and a container run elsewhere.
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 2 months ago:
Right, I didn’t have any issues running it on a pi for years too. The problems came when I started messing with things. So, really my advice is to help save people from ideas like mine.
I decided one day to take a bunch of old laptops and create a proxmox cluster out of them. It worked great, but I didn’t have a use for them, I was just playing. So, I decided to retire the pi and put the pihole on the cluster. HA for the win!
I did that and came woke up a few days later to my family complaining that they had no internet. I found the pihole container on a different node and it wouldn’t start. Turns out with proxmox you need separate storage for HA to work. I had assumed that it would be similar to jboss clustering which I’m familiar with, and the container would be on all the nodes and only one actice at a time, with some syncing between nodes. Nope.
What’s worse is the container refused to move back to the origional node AND wouldn’t start. The pi was stored away at this point so I figured it would be easier to just create a new container, but duh, no internet. Turn off dns settings on the router, bam have internet.
Eventually set up the old pi again, and it took me a while to figure out what I had done wrong with proxmox. But while I was figuring it out it was nice to have the backup.
Now I always have two running on different hardware, just in case.

I recommend having two. Otherwise your home internet goes down everytime you update or reboot or it crashes.
