⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New car buyers driven to white or grey, with bright colours rarer than ever, data shows⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
As owner of dark green car I can say, do not buy this color, it is bloody stealth car. No one see you on the road. Have to drive with light on all the time. I guess only grey is worse that it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you use only ipv6 server?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I guess HE is still providing free IPv6 via IPv4 tunnels.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you selfhost your own blog/website?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Biggest problem will be BW and latency to your lab from the Internet. I would use dedicated hardware and subnet for it. Security wise, if you can make your site 100% static it will help a lot with security. I’m personally set on AWS S3 + CloudFlare combo with static site generator running in my lab. Yes it is not really “self hosted” but worries free solution for me.

Just imaging how much pollution this bikes on road generates, it would be way better if they continue driving.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are good harddrives to use with serves⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
ZFS or BTRF mirror will know which side is at fault due to checksums. I’m more concern about simultaneous falures of two disks. Rebuilding of a RAID puts lots of pressure on remaining disks, so probability that remaining one dies too is much higher. with RAID6 3 disks need to die to lost date, which is less likely but not impossible.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are good harddrives to use with serves⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I would not trust these kind of dives in the mirror. IMHO RAID6 is the only way.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data HDD with SSD catch drive⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
ZFS ZIL will not help in this case.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tailscale blocked on hotel wifi⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Usually it can be solved by talking to hotel stuff. you are paying for that service and can expect it be suitable for any legal use.

trouts are for Englishman. Aussie prefer whales.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
3600 was released in 2019. And it they was making it for at least 2 years.

You need to be a root to exploit it, but if it get exploited any way to get rid of it is to throw MB to trash.

FIDO net. A worldwide hobbyist network providing email and USENET like services. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet. It was very geeky place with high barrier to entry.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Join fediverser.network, make it easy to bring Australian redditors to the Fediverse?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Lemmy reminds me FIDO of old by this. Collective of elitist geeks.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are we going down the same path as US politics?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Power of TV is waning, younger generation live out social media, not TV. So things are going to turn worse.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestion for buying drive⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Why use SSD OS (unless he is using windows ). System can do to USB stick and rest od data to disk, and SSD may be a good option.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Follow up on supporting Immich announcement - change of wording⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Does not really matter what wording they will put in. It is clear that project will go to pay or get nothing way. So just start working on decommissioning it. Free software really need better ways to pay developers, that will allow to avoid crap like that.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Server build for Family⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I would add LVM to the list of software raids, and remove btrfs as poorly engineered.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HDD or SSD for a home server?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
cope of old 2.5 HDD + usb to SATA converter. But Pi5 is hardly suitable to host anything. May just get old PC (which gives you HDD too). There are plenty for < $100 or even free. But you are going to pay more for power.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping pet cats indoors would save millions of native animals and billions of dollars. So what's stopping us?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
"We need to genetically modify cats to only hunt introduced rats. " In my area foxes were hunting outdoor cats, so you hardly ever see one. Foxes got baited, and now cats are everywhere. Q is, what is better.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping pet cats indoors would save millions of native animals and billions of dollars. So what's stopping us?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Try to keep non de-sexed cat indoor. I tried, no way it can work. In the end poor boy lost his balls.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much does it matter what type of harddisk i buy for my server?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Yes, it will. Will it make any difference for you, depends of what are you doing. I would not use surveillance drive in to server, they are way too specific. Outside of that prices is pretty much same per TB/(Warranty Year) accross the board.

I done some excessive research couple of years back on the topic. you can find it here blog.holms.place/…/hdd-storage-cost-comparation-m…. I do not think situation have changed match since than. Price per TB/Year is nearly constant past 8GB size.

Also consider looking to re-certified drives, or even refurbished drives. you may save hips on them. But it depends on how much you value your data, how much redundancy in you storage pool and how good your backup strategy.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Syncthing ... where are the users?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Syncthing sync files, it is all does.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Recommend me a music streaming service?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Dezeer, Good selection of non mainstream music, support lossless streaming.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is ansible worth learning to automate setting up servers?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Look to other orchestrations solution too, like SALT. If you need to manage a lot of servers it is live saver. Setting up is only first step.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clean your physical connectors!⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Usually just plug/unplug couple of times is enough. No fancy chemicals.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proxmox Disk Performance Problems⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Run long smart test on the disk and check smart data after that. Other possibility is ZFS pool is nearly full.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Depends what are you doing. Something like keep base os patched is pretty much nil efforts. Some apps more problematic than others. Home Assistant is always a pain to upgrade and something like postfix is requires nearly 0 maintenance.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Running DNS server in Docker⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
circular dependency seems to be the case. I guess adding second external resolver to /etc/resolve.conf will help. Second entry will not be used unless first one ( pi-hole) is responding. But it need to be tested.
BTW, why do you want to send host’s DNS via pihole?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted VoIP?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Very strange line from specs. USB Driver Windows XP/7/8/10/11, Linux (driver free on Raspberry Pi Raspbian system) Does it mean binary blob driver only? and you need to pay for it to use it on PC?
