End cuts trapped behind fascia can retain water if they’re not completely sealed off from it getting in there in the first place. Better to treat your ends before covering them because even if you do it perfectly now, the deck can get worn or damaged later and allow water intrusion. Lasting builds design for reasonable fault tolerances.

Only if he treated the ends before the fascia board went on 😬

Shouldn’t you set it about 1/4” below whatever you’re cutting?

Sorry, it’s the tone of the headline I’m shitting on, not the concept of solar or the liberals who may fancy it.

This shit ain’t gonna break his brain, he’s just going to say “nice try communists” and ban it

Yes, surely we’ve got him now! Big Oil and Peso Island defeated by white moderate liberals with balconies. Kumbaya, sister!

Can you set a port on DNS services that don’t typically use an SRV record (like Minecraft does, for example)?

I think I tired to figure this out once but couldn’t get it to work with web browsers. Ended up just looking at the HTTP request to find the subdomain and then routed from a reverse proxy as appropriate…

It’s pronounced “coom” in this usage, which I realize doesn’t make it any better.

When people get good grades, they say Summa cum laude

Which is Latin for “some will cum loudly” like when they see what grade you got

So you vibecoded a security product and named it after a famous government program known for spying unlawfully on American citizens

To what, capitalize on the SEO?

This is kinda gross dude, not gonna lie

There are ways to do it with a network disk being present or something, but generally HA in Proxmox needs an odd number of nodes to reach quorum; basically if an HA node detects that it is isolated then it freezes all VMs, assuming it is having network issues and that other nodes, which themselves may not be isolated, could be running the same VM - since the whole point of HA is that if a node and its VMs disappear, the remaining ones take over duties until the missing node returns.

If you have an even number of nodes, you need a tiebreaker vote to reach quorum - half the total nodes plus 1 for a majority is the default.

You can adjust the total number of node “votes”that dictate what quorum is, but if you have two nodes and you set it to 1, then you’ll always have “split brain” where copies of the same VMs will keep running on both nodes, and if you set it to two then and node going down will freeze the other as well (both will assume they are the one with problems, since they’d both be below quorum). Therefore you need an odd number of votes.

The best way is to have a third host (or a 5th, or a 7th, etc. 😅); but there is a way (tutorial on Proxmox’s docs) to set up the presence of a network share as a tie-breaking vote, rather than a full additional node; the idea being that if the node can see the disk, that means it can see the network and therefore it is the node you’d want running the VMs.

So plan carefully around this, it’s not fun when a cluster you’ve become dependent on for services deadlocks itself 😅 ask my wife how I know this

I second HomeAssistant. Plenty of devices that don’t need the cloud, and plenty of DIY devices you can build if you’re handy like that. Been a significant push recently for IR transmitters and for RF Tx/Rx so that “dumb” devices can be controlled smartly; no cloud necessary (unless you want it)

SQLite has made huge performance improvements in the last like 3-5 years.

I wouldn’t spin up an enterprise NextCloud with it but for a home NAS serving up to maybe a dozen people it’s more than enough.

SQLite actually has incredible performance these days. But I get your point :)

You can install NextCloud with snap.
