brownmustardminion,

Yeah I think I may end up just sticking with my Titan card. It’s got 5 outputs and different output types. 10bit output would be great but apparently I wouldn’t be able to have that while also using the 3090

brownmustardminion, (edited )

That’s a beauty for sure. Do you find it limiting that it has a 25" maximum rip? Adding it to my wishlist, but as of now $300 or so is probably my limit.

Locally that fence costs nearly $700! sheesshhhh

EDIT: Hold on…may have found it for $400. :)

brownmustardminion,

Got a recommendation for a good gauge while we’re at it? 1/128th would be a dream.

brownmustardminion,

In my extensive experience, use Zooz zen series for the bulk of your switches. Buy inovelli for special switches such as by your front door or anywhere you might want the use of the LED indicator strip and scenes.

Majority of other smart switches will give you issues with dimming flicker. Trust me, I’ve bought thousands of dollars of smart switches. Zooz and Inovelli are great choices.

Mini Monitor Recommendations

I’m looking for a small 7” or 8” computer monitor to keep on my desk to display Discord and other things without taking up real estate on my main monitor. Ideally something cheap and therefore not a touchscreen. There’s tons of options online but I’d like to get some recommendations from people who have a similar...

brownmustardminion,

Good idea. I was leaning heavily towards those raspberry pi monitors.

brownmustardminion,

With this method, would I be able to use an iPad as a display for windows 10? If so, are there any downsides? I remember trying Duet Display years ago but they charge a monthly fee which is absurd. And performance was not great.

brownmustardminion,

Thanks. That helped a lot. It gave me a good basis for some further googling.

It ended up that the Internal Clock of the hardware interface was deselected in alsamixer. Enabling it fixed the no audio issue.

For the channel remapping I tried a bunch of different config files until finally one actually managed to not be ignored. It’s absurd how many separate configuration files and sound settings menus exist for linux audio and there’s no guarantee the one your editing is even being used. An absolute mess IMO and it’s no wonder people shy away from linux for desktop purposes.

Funny enough, despite getting the channel remapping to work, it’s completely ignored unless you put pulseaudio -k into your user profile. And even now, because the remapped output device doesn’t show up on boot, it has to be manually set to the default output every login.

At least I have the right channels mapped though.

I love linux but god damn is it a hot mess for the simple stuff.

brownmustardminion,

I prefer to shy away from those companies, especially Google, for moral/privacy reasons.

brownmustardminion,

This looks great for privacy but their servers are hosted only in Sweden, which might be an issue since I’ll need good latency and high bandwidth.

brownmustardminion,

Looks promising. Do you know what their network speeds are? I can’t seem to find that in their FAQs.

brownmustardminion,

That’s pretty decent. I tried speed testing some other recommendations and I was seeing 35 MB/s.

brownmustardminion,

I appreciate your insight. That’s good to know. My journey into self hosting started with searching for alternatives to google products so I’m naturally hesitant to touch anything under their umbrella.

brownmustardminion,

Thanks. I actually selfhost my backup server. So I’m not backing up to a VPS. I use the VPS as a hub in a hub and wheel configuration to connect multiple servers (including a dedicated backup server).

brownmustardminion,

So each time I get shut down is during a large extended data transfer. I have my VPS server set up as a VPN hub that connects multiple servers. So typically when my traffic gets diverted to a black hole by DO, there was a consistent roughly 35MB/s inbound/outbound vpn traffic stream for 4-5 hours going through the VPS. My server gets shut down for 3-4 hours and I get a email notice that my server was under a massive DDoS attack and they diverted traffic to a black hole. I always respond informing them that it’s not a DDoS and explain the situation. They typically respond with “Utilize a service like Cloudfare which has DdoS protection”.

I’ve been really happy with them as a provider otherwise but this is a dealbreaker for me.

brownmustardminion,

Funny you mention that. I was about to make a post about Nebula earlier. I learned about it through YouTuber apalrd a few months back and it seems perfect. I’m still trying to understand some of the complexities when utilizing a service that requires circumventing the mesh network for public access such as Nextcloud. I’ll probably make a post about this after I’ve done some more research. I think there’s some good discussion to be had about such a setup.

brownmustardminion,

I tried to set up a nebula network but it seems like it has trouble when your hosts are behind a VPN service. The VPN must block the port or protocol the lighthouse is connecting with and I can’t figure out a way to bypass the VPN (at least on Mac split tunneling isn’t supported). I’m assuming you’re familiar with mesh networks…do you have any good youtube videos or resources you would recommend? The nice thing about VPN is it’s crazy simple to set up and seems to work with all types of system configurations. Nebula was pretty simple but seems like a pain to troubleshoot so far.

brownmustardminion,

Ideally I would be able to split tunnel around the vpn but I don’t have the option on mac
