What's your server wattage?

I’m in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn’t that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run...

Secure portal between Internet and internal services

I thought I was going to use Authentik for this purpose but it just seems to redirect to an otherwise Internet accessible page. I’m looking for a way to remotely access my home network at a site like remote.mywebsite.com. I have Nginx proxy forwarding with SSL working appropriately, so I need an internal service that receives...

johnnixon,

I ended up going with tailscale. Every other option exposed my secret services to the Internet, even if behind a password. Tailscale was ridiculously easy to set up too. The docker compose I used had Heimdall in it too so I was able put all my links on there. Procedure is connect with tailscale app -> go to illegalshit -> click/tap on relevant link. I might pull back on my Nginx proxy targets and port forwards for this more secure system.

What happens if tailscale goes down though?

Proxmox HA, Docker Swarm, Kubrenetes, or what?

I’ve gotten to the point where I have more than a few servers in my homelab and am looking for a way to increase reliability in case of an update. Two problems: 2 of the servers will be on Wifi and one is a Synology NAS. I can’t do any wiring but I can put together a WiFi 6E network for the servers only, That means buying 4...

johnnixon,

Late reply but yeah, Wifi was a nightmare on Proxmox. It was a tiny e-waste SFF pc so I was able to wedge it near the other servers. The cluster is happy.

johnnixon,

I had to reimage through serial/USB then the Raspi OS properly downloaded the current image. Thanks for the links getting me in the right neighborhood.

johnnixon, (edited )

I had previously run HA on a Raspberry Pi with Z-Wave, Sonoff, and some Hue, years and years ago. After searching for a Zigbee (since that seems to be the current standard and I’m starting over) adaptor that was HA compatible, I saw they offered their own hardware. After 18 months of waiting, I figured it would “just work.” Anyway, I reimaged over USB-C and it’s working. I’ll definitely do a backup before doing my first software update now that I have something to lose.

johnnixon,

As I recall, when I turned off location tracking my time zone would be wrong. It’s frustrating that you lose out when protecting your privacy.

johnnixon,

Pebble Time. It was the best ever until the battery swelled. My Fitbit Versa 2 was good until the battery gave out. My latest Fitbit has worse software with less features than the last and I hate it. There are no apps available anymore.

johnnixon,

Upvote for Pebble. It was the best of all time. I could operate the buttons without even looking.

johnnixon,

Is there a source that doesn’t require me log into Twitter?

johnnixon,

Thanks. Some screenshot of a tweet isn’t a source, but what you posted was.

johnnixon,

So some news outlets get to protect their precious little articles from the big bad AI, which will probably destroy news as we know it anyway

I was thinking about this. What happens when all the big outlets are having AI write their news?You can’t get answers on today’s news without feeding the model today’s news. Therefore, somebody has to create the data source.

I see a few scenarios:

  • Google scrapes, aggregates, and summarizes to the point that nobody reads the article/sees the ads and the news site goes under. Then Google has nothing to scrape but press releases and government sources. Or…
  • News sites block access to scrapers and charge for it but may be wary of crossing their customers (news aggregators) in their coverage
  • The above creates a tiered system where premium news outlets (AI assisted writing but with human insight) are too expensive for ad supported Google to scrape, so Google gets second tier news from less reliable, more automated sources, or simply makes it themselves. Why not cut out the middle man?
  • Rouge summarizers will still scrape the real news outlets and summarize stories to sell to Google. This will again make paid news a luxury since someone with a subscription will summarize and distribute the main point (okay) or their spin (bad).

I’m failing to see where this will go well. Is there another scenario?

johnnixon,

When I heard the Fairphone 4 didn’t have any waterproofing I decided to skip this version. My coworker is replacing their Samsung S10 just because the USB port is getting loose but they’re an avid boater. For some, water resistance really matters.

johnnixon,

I ordered a 870 EVO 4TB since all the time spent on self hosted has been eating up my NAS storage.
