⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Reference Poster / Cheatsheet⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I have 2 questions:

Do I understand the colors correctly in that /home is deprecated and shouldn’t be used? What’s the alternative in that case?

Where would you guys put configuration files for services? /srv seems like an adequate directory
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA: Try FreeCAD Link Branch (it's a big improvement!)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t think they are really comparable.

Personally I see blender more as an animation or organic modeling tool whereas CAD software like fusion is better when you need exact dimensions for your parts
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It took over 2 years, but I finally finished my partially 3D Printable E-Reader Case⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I thought about doing it once but decided that PLA/PETG is probably not a good material for the case as I was expecting it to break too easily. Also I don’t have enough experience working with leather for something like this.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I reduce the amount of storage used by my Lemmy instance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Honestly, what else would it be? Text takes ridiculously little storage compared to a single picture of a decent resolution.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Depends I guess. For me the biggest concern when I bought my Synology was simplicity of usage and idle power consumption which is much lower than I could get with one of the older computers I have lying around.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I am currently using 2 16TB drives in Raid 1 and was planning to move to Raid 5 (or maybe it was 6) if I need more storage by adding a 3rd drive.

What would you recommend instead?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Help me graduate from TinkerCad please?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Fusion360 is great.

The two things I dislike about it though is the lack of linux support and the fact that you have to store your projects in their cloud. Personally I would prefer local only projects which I can easily include in a git repository without having to manually export my model every time I make a change to it.

So far FreeCad seems like the best option for me in regards to those points but it is definitely less intuitive than Fusion360
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Security considerations of WiFi vs Zigbee for self-hosted IoT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Well, theoretically yes but it doesn’t continuously send data and both WiFi and Zigbee also allow for operation on various channels. Does your neighbors WiFi interfere with yours?

Also, most WiFi devices now support 5GHz WiFi anyway so it’s even less of an issue anymore. The bigger problem would probably be WiFi interfering with ZigBee. But again, that can be resolved by changing the channels.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Security considerations of WiFi vs Zigbee for self-hosted IoT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Isn’t Zigbee always on 2.4GHz regardless of country? Trying to shift the frequency to 915MHz for all devices sounds like a lot of work with questionable benefit
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[question] Which ML library should I learn in Python?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
It’s been a while since I last looked into those.

If you aren’t looking for neural networks I found sklearn to be quite capable and easy to understand.

I also tried tensorflow and pytorch a couple times (not enough to get really proficient in them) and I think I found pytorch the hardest to wrap my head around. It’s been quite a while though so maybe it’s better to listen to others with more experience in that regard.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Security considerations of WiFi vs Zigbee for self-hosted IoT⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
That’s a good point. Another one I have is sort of failure tolerance. I used to have a really unreliable router which would often crash and could only be reset using a full power reset. While it was in this state, wifi obviously stopped working but my zigbee devices where still available. I used to have a zigbee button linked to a smart plug for toggling my router off and on again.

This shouldn’t be a concern for most people obviously but I wanted to share my experience.

Another point I want to mention is that zigbee works at 2.4Ghz just like basic wifi so they can still interfere with each other.

Zwave on the other hand uses another frequency (I think it was around 860MHz) but is more expensive.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The German government is working on an OSS "Sovereign Workplace"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I wouldn’t go as far as to say that without germans we wouldn’t have computers today. What he is probably referencing is the Zuse Z3, which can be considered one of the first computers.

The main argument against it being the first is that it’s a mechanical design rather than electronic and that turing completeness was only achieved on it much later using a trick which the designer had not intended. Interestingly, ENIAC, which is considered the first computer by many, uses a decimal design. The Z3 on the other hand was already using binary.

I took this info from the german wikipedia article on the Z3. I’m not sure if the english article goes into similar detail on those points.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What got you into coding ? (aside from money)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I wanted to write a minecraft mod. I have never written a minecraft mod but I got interested in actually learning to program after I realized I had no idea what I was doing. Also english and computer science where the only 2 subjects in school I was pretty good at
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replace Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Performance is good and streaming works well. Not a fan of the webinterface personally but there are client programs available for all platforms since navidrome exposes the subsonic api.

Personally I use sonix on windows and linux as well as symfonium (paid but really great app) on android.

The only thing I am missing from it is better user management so that I can restrict specific users from accessing parts of my library.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Replace Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
+1 for navidrome.

I’m also using that and have it exposed to the web using a cloudflare tunnel. What I didn’t like in the beginning but really appreciate now is that the service itself doesn’t have a lot of permissions and cannot delete files or change their metadata. I’m hosting it in a docker container and everything except the config file is mounted read-only.

I’m not sure how relevant that is but it gives me more peace of mind exposing it publicly.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨good alternatives to raspberry pi which are cheap and efficient?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Running a webserver is not the same as hosting a service. For the software examples requested by OP, an ESP32 is useless
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New to NAS - What are the recommended solutions?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Can definitely confirm this. I started with a Proxmox system which had a TrueNAS VM. TrueNAS just used a USB HDD for storage though. Setting everything up and getting the permissions set correctly so I could connect my computers was a pain in the ass though.

Later I bought a synology and it just works. Only thing I would recommend is getting good HDDs. I bought Toshiba MG08 16TB drives and while they work great, they are obnoxiously loud during read and write operations. They are so loud, that even though the NAS is in a separate room I have to shut it off at night.

Meanwhile the Seagate Ironwolf drive I used for TrueNAS was next to my bed for multiple months and was basically silent.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Routing local requests directly to server instead of cloudflare tunnel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Thanks for your reply. I think I managed to solve this issue and have updated my post to reflect this. Apparently I had a setting disabled in Pi-Hole which caused my DNS requests to be forwarded upstream for some reason, even though there existed a local DNS entry.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Routing local requests directly to server instead of cloudflare tunnel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
It returned the local IPv4 address of the server and two IPv6 addresses belonging apparently belonging to a cloudflare server in california.

I think I managed to fix the issue though. I have updated my post to include my solution
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Routing local requests directly to server instead of cloudflare tunnel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I think I fixed the issue by enabling the Never forward reverse lookups for private IP ranges option in Pi-Hole. After that I flushed my dns cache again and called tracert for my domain name. I only get one hop directly to my server now. nslookup also shows only local addresses now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Routing local requests directly to server instead of cloudflare tunnel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Looking at the output of that command I get the following for my ethernet network interface
```
   DNS-Server  . . . . . . . . . . . : fd98:1919:5915:0:3053:4134:bdc9:295d
                                             192.168.1.60
                                             fd98:1919:5915:0:3053:4134:bdc9:295d
```
Using nslookup on that IPv4 address tells me that all of those addresses are pointing to my pi-hole
```
nslookup 192.168.1.60

Server: pi.hole
Address: fd98:1919:5915:0:3053:4134:bdc9:295d

Name: pi.hole
Address: 192.168.1.60
```
I’ve added another local DNS entry on my Pi-Hole which points the domain I use to the same server but this time uses its IPv6 address. That doesn’t seem to help though or it takes some time to update. I flushed the DNS cache on my machine after adding this entry though.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Routing local requests directly to server instead of cloudflare tunnel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
When I use tracert I can see the package going through a server in Frankfurt which is definetely outside of my local network. The final IP address that tracert shows me is from a cloudflare server california (2606:4700:3033::ac43:b10f) according to this site: whatismyipaddress.com/ip-lookup
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Routing local requests directly to server instead of cloudflare tunnel⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I didn’t set anything like that up. Is that something that might be enabled by default on my router? If so, how do I check it?

I haven’t found a good way to deal with that except sort of merging the stuff together and hope everything works out.

That’s the main reason why I always publish my stuff in stl and step format
