Is the fridge pushed back all the way in the additional photos? They should make shallower fridges
- Comment on I want to build a Mini ITX PC for my home server, where do I start? 2 weeks ago:
I found M ITX on eBay for cheap $50, the ad said used mobo (10 available), but it arrived absolutely factor clean and had CPU cover on, etc. I assume old stock rather than used?? And found a CPU for $40. Monsterlabo fanless case cost me the most at $200

- Comment on Linux help and actual pros and cons 2 weeks ago:
There are a few distros that make gaming on Linux a bit simpler to setup. Bazzite is one, but there are others. You should read up on WINE, Vulkan, Lutris and maybe STEAM/Steam-tricks. There is a list somewhere of game titles and peoples success with gaming on Linux. Some of the ones that expect Windows Anticheat hooks aren’t going to work. If you aren’t wanting to fiddle till your system is setup to game nicely, there is a W10 LTSC version that will still be supported for some time.

I just use tr command and specify the swap from " " to "-” so much simpler than complex apps

As for the other question in thr post: If you are using btrfs or zfs I believe both of those have a send function that operates at a block level and will only send block changes rather than full file changes

Support is loose term on Windows. KDE and GS connect work excellent on Linux, KDE connect on Windows seems highly broken

Ai ruins Windows even more. The Ai services just bog down the system an makes apps unresponsive. Thank the digital lord that Linux exists

Compared to Proprietary Closed Source that has its own security issues, malicious code, and also leverages Open Source too. Guess which one is better and transparent
- Comment on Is there a way to redirect voice traffic from WhatsApp and Signal to a landline? 1 month ago:
There might be a paid way. At work we have our phone numbers tied into zoom which ties into calling other phone numbers. It is used as a backend switchboard. So you could have a zoom number as your signal number which routes to your landline. Maybe.
- Comment on Making sure restic backups are right 1 month ago:
Deja DUP has auto validation also. But besides “backup” I think everyone suggests using ZFS that auto heals bit rot. And don’t trust unplugged SSDs, they can suffer bit rot quickly if stored in a hot location

You can use any open port and port forward at the router, or is CG NAT only 80

Just setup wireguard on your server, add masquerading and ip forwarding. That single wireguard in, will give you full access to your lan

2.5admins is a great show even if you aren’t an admin.
- Comment on Self-Hosted podcast 1 month ago:
Still been going with multiple shows. I don’t think it was “dropped”, if I recall Chris bought back the rights to his own shows, so he could manage it himself. There was some controversy when the head managers let Joe ressington go, bypassing Chris (as Joe’s Manager). Seemed things got set in motion to go independent after that.
- Comment on Security of running Headscale on a VPS 1 month ago:
Yeah it definitely is a pain for adding multiple machines.
- Comment on Security of running Headscale on a VPS 1 month ago:
I can’t offer technical network advice on vps headscale; Personally I’m not confident in my network skills. I would be more inclined to go through the pain of manually setting up wireguard instead of having a tailscale or headscale service-- and skipping the middleman so to speak
- Comment on What are people doing for home server UPS in 2025? 1 month ago:
Cyberpower 1500 AVR for me. Router, WiFi, and server run off of it. It has kept me going on the internet during power outages as well as ding voltage correction when we have under or overvolt power moments. And I use the cyberpower Linux app they provide to set server shut down time based on battery level. It has saved my equipment a few times. We have occasional wind induced power failures here (overhead power lines) and had a crow land on a transformer and explode which immediately triggered the UPS to clean the sudden blip. Also had an HP laptop power charger fuse itself internally and UPS detected the short and shut down all power. Without that UPS, the pack might have overheated if the panel breaker didn’t sense the short.

Its good for keeping your firewall or other services running, like homeassistant, during powered outages. But UPS also corrects power when it is dirty and protects your equipment.

I disagree with the men and women can’t be friends. Two of my besties in highschool were women (girls). We hung out, went this bars, each others ride to grab them the morning after a date. We still visit each other 30 years later.
