- Comment on [Opinion] Firefox is dead to me – and I'm not the only one who is fed up 1 week 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.

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 3 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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.

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.

Right?! Most affordable 10G switches are SFP+ which requires a lot more research to make sure you get the right modules and cabling.

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? 5 weeks 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 1 month 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.

- Comment on Is it worth migrating docker apps to truenas scale community apps? 2 months ago:
I only had issues with the latest tag when dealing with the community apps. Some of them would randomly break and I’d have to roll back. Once I manually configured the docker settings using normal file mounts things were plenty stable. I think the issues were with the k8s community charts not with the underlying software. And that was fixed by just configuring it manually like however the dockerhub docs suggest.
I would still have the occasional issue where a container would freeze and a force stop wouldn’t work, and spinning up a new one wouldn’t work because the ports were still used. But I traced that back to a bad ssd with write timeouts. I still think truenas’s k8s wrapper is buggy. Even if a container crashes hard, I shouldn’t have to reboot the system to fix it. I switched to unraid and have been blissfully happy since.
- Comment on Is it worth migrating docker apps to truenas scale community apps? 2 months ago:
Not sure if you were aware of the recent (last year) drama with a major contributing group to the community apps. TrueCharts I think they were called? I had some truecharts containers and some straight truenas containers. Then TrueCharts ragequit and took down their repo. I ended up reinstalling all those apps manually because for the life of me I still couldn’t get the dumb truenas versions to work. Also, I wasn’t a fan of the pvc (or whatever it was called) storage containers that got used by default. Made eveverything more difficult. My advice is to use the truenas community apps as a learning tool to configure your own properly with the truenas software. I noticed the community apps would seriously take around a minute to restart, but the ones I made manually would takes seconds. Same docker image, never figured out why, maybe a k8s thing?
- Comment on Is it normal to not have any malicious login attempts? 2 months ago:
Might need more info about your setup. The reverse proxy probably has some logs you aren’t looking at. Most bots from what I’ve seen do ip:port scans hitting every ip and every port. Nginx reverse proxy manager or something similar isn’t going to forward ip:8123 to home assistant. A straight router port forward will, but the reverse proxy manager will look at the domain GET request for https://ha.hit_the_rails.net to your LAN ip:port. It’s a little security through obscurity as they have to know your sub+domain.
For a time I had port 22 open and forwarded directly to a server. Constant bot traffic. Changed the port, put an ssh honeypot on 22, and it almost completely went away. Sure the bots could be smart enough to scan and find another open ssh port, but they rarely did. I assume because anyone savvy enough to change the ssh port is savvy enough to not allow default logins like ubnt:ubnt and root:1234 which were by far the most common logins I got in the honeypot.

- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 2 months ago:
I don’t consider myself left leaning. Both left and right are corrupt and neither actually practice what they preach. The left is the US is currently the lesser of two evils though. I do consider myself a socialist-libertarian. I think government should be there to keep the populace safe, and provide basic human necessities to all, and no more. The govt should not be able to execute capital punishment nor declare war. Retalitory strikes, defense and supporting allies defending themselves are all fine, but we could get rid of most of the military and funnel that money back to socialist programs and be a MUCH wealthier and happier country.

Not a doctor, nor am I trying to minimize your experience. But a form of this happens to my daughter all the time. But with her it’s diet related. Her blood sugar crashes and she gets dehydrated because she doesn’t eat properly. Just throwing it out there, in case it could be something easily solved before jumping to the harder diagnosis.

The root folder error for collections. I think I know this one. You need to go into every movie and update the filepath to the use the new root folder. Radarr isn’t smart enough to do that automatically for you. Though you’d think they’d have $rootfolder as a var, but no.
