Fuck no the Us shouldn’t get this.

Good point and teaches me to be too quick to respond. Cheers!

/c/piracy would probably be a better resource for you. The few comments from that side I’ve seen mostly indicate torrenting through VPN and using an arr stack.

I mostly go garage sale hunting combined with refusing to buy anything with DRM. My library probably is not as extensive as what you would have if you are a movie or TV aficionado. I use it for movies, tv shows, and music. It’s been great so far. Paired with Finamp as a player on my phone and Supersonic on the desktop I can get around the otherwise somewhat awkward music library management. I love the show and movie default interface.

Note, I believe Jellyfin is also starting to do books. I have not tried it in that application yet.

Encrypt before backing it up remotely.

I used proxmox and its made backing things up pretty simple. Once a week I have backups copied up to filen for remote storage.

I host: Heimdall - easy homepage for my wife and I to access services. Gitea - git stuff. Photoprism - running into a number of bugs and considering switching to immich. HomeBox - asset tracking with associated documentation NGINX reverse proxy - what it says on the tin BookStack - simple book style wiki Portainer - docker container management Paperless-ngx - Helps organize documents. Jellyfin - media server

I use Gitea and all it manages are my docker configs and backup scripts. Simple to install via docker and then its just git. Haven’t had to do anything fancy.

Jokes on you. Lumberg is my porn preference.

We have an old neato that is going on 10 years. Unfortunately venture capital bought them out and drove them into the ground. We just bought another which is a mop/vac combo from Eufy that we are happy with. As the other poster mentioned though, robot vacs and their various hybrids are not really BIFL.

Homebox can track simple maintenance against assets.

Definitely this, especially if you’ll be sharing with a non techie. My wife was able to pick 1password up and use it immediately and she normally turns her nose up at any of my recommendations.

For the 1password accounts 2FA, use a yubikey or aegis. Everything else to 1 password.

Out of curiosity, what has been your experience on noise and power consumption with your r220 and r240 servers?

Funny you should say that! If I was still over in that part of the country I’d absolutely take you up. There is a local used IT shop near me and I was really excited to purchase some of those for a good deal. Then found out that they only update their online inventory when you click add to cart. Long story short, the prices were too good to be true and they didn’t have any left in stock.

Already have the rack and it hosts most of my items (router, switch, raspberry pi rack, NAS, PS3 apple TV). Honestly other than the raspberry pi rack and the router, the rest are just using shelves anyways. I need to find a good, non-bulky way to take the enclosure fan and switch it on when temps get above a set point. What I’ve done in the past with an arduino is way too bulky.

I love your idea and its funny you mention the mini PCs and thin clients. As I look at prices I’m more and more leaning towards just another shelf and using mini PCs.

I’m trying to find a reasonably priced used rack mount computer to move all my containers to. I have a rack in my house but measuring the depth between posts only gets me around 17.5". Recently deployed paperless-ngx and decided it would be too much to add onto my poor little NAS which hosts everything else so its deployed on my main computer and I want to avoid that strategy.

Challenge is that being new to rack servers and all of this (the NAS was a great intro box) I’ve got a large learning curve ahead of me.

Appreciate everyone’s help. What I ended up doing was moving to porkbun as I (a) saved money with some of the whois privacy items, (b) got free SSL certificates, and © it worked with the automated certbot tie in with Nginx-Prox-Manager. I did confirm I could manually load certs into Nginx but have very limited time at the moment and this seemed like a straightforward path.

Certainly the proposals for self-hosted DNS servers are interesting and something I may experiment with in the future but times limited at the moment. Now I’m just working out why Jellyfin and Photoprism work perfectly but homebox doesn’t want to work with the domain name. Another round of learning begins!

Holy shit. This man jeans.

If you are talking about the steps where wolfgang adds a lets encrypt cert, bluehost is not a recognized DNS provider. If you are talking something else could you provide some additional detail please?

Edit: Just found this, will read more on it as I think it relates to your question. https://eamonnsullivan.co.uk/posts-output/ssl-setup/2024-04-01-setting-up-ssl-for-my-local-apps/

My internal network is blocked off from the internet and I’m not actually planning to enable tailscale for VPN in (my understanding of its purpose). This is really just so I can use sub domains like ‘homebox.mydomain.space’ to access and get a registered SSL certificate to switch all internal over. I’m not using the duckdns that Wolfgang did because I already registered a good custom domain that I use for my e-mail.
