Really wish the DLC for this was still available. Slay away Camp is good, but this was so much better and I missed out on the DLC..

It's 6:30 hands down.

Hi all,

I've been thinking about picking up an N150 or 5825U MiniITX board for a NAS, but I'm wondering if there are better options given my requirements.

• At least 2x 2.5Gb LAN
• A 10Gb LAN, or 2.5Gb if not
• 2x NVME
• 8x SATA for spinning disks
• 2x SATA for SSDs
• MiniITX is required for the 10" rack
• 64+ Gigs of RAM (ZFS cache) (This is not possible on an N150)

The problem I'm running into with the boards I've looked at is PCIe lanes, and not having ways to expand the sata or network ports without stealing from NVME.

I've started to look at boards with PCIe 4.0x16 slots and risers/splitters for expansion, but then I can't find low power CPUs for them.

Thoughts?

Hi everyone,

I've been a single-server built from whatever desktop I upgraded for years kind of guy, with a hostname of the street it is on (better than server, which is what it used to be).

However, at some point in the future my home lab will be located in a place I will not have immediate access to, and since it's getting on in age and due for an upgrade anyway, I'm going to build in some redundancy. So, current names:

• OPNsense micro-router: ingress01
• OPNsense backup: ingress02
• Cluster micro-server with essential services: cluster01
• Cluster micro-server with non-essential services and replicated essential services: cluster02
• NAS: nas
• Powered on remotely when needed:
  • Mac mini dev/release box: macmini
  • Primary remote development server (basically my old desktop): desktop

Bring on the Mini-MacMinifaces, and any other ideas you have.

The GitHub repos at https://github.com/organicmaps are all public archives now, but there's no information on them about why.

Hi all,

I've been running a bunch of services in docker containers using Docker Compose for a while now, with data storage on ZRAID mirrored NVME and/or ZRAID2 HDDs.

I've been thinking about moving from my single server setup to three micro-servers (Intel N150s), both for redundancy, learning, and fun.

Choosing Kubernetes was easy, but I'd like to get some outside opinions on storage. Some examples of how I'm using storage:

1. Media and large data storage: Currently on the ZRAID2 HDDs, will stay here but be migrated to a dedicated NAS
2. High IO workloads like Postgresql and email: Currently running on the NVMEs
3. General low-volume storage: Also currently on NVMEs, but different use case. These are lower IO, like data storage for Nextcloud, Immich, etc

I'm a huge fan of being able to snapshot with ZFS, as I mirror all my data off-site with hourly pushes for some container data, and daily for the rest. I'd like to be able to continue this kind of block-level backups if possible.

Assume I'm a noob at Kubernetes storage (have been reading, but still fresh to me). I'd love to know how others would set up their storage interfaces for this.

I'm trying to understand if there's a way to have the storage "RAIDed" across the drives in the three micro-servers, or if things work differently than I expect. Thanks!

Hey all,

I'm de-googling, and while OctoApp (to control OctoPrint) is open source (https://gitlab.com/realoctoapp/octoapp), there are no APKs in the releases like the README says. I can't report this as an issue because that's turned off on GutLab, so does anyone know of any other way it is distributed outside of thr Play Store?

Thanks.

Hi all,

Working through some things like a Will (I am fine, just normal life planning), and debating on methods for digital management when I do die.

I run a lot of self-hosted services for family and friends, all on secured servers with ZFS and on/off site backups. Key ingredient is Vaultwarden for password management.

I'd like to put something in place so that encryption keys, some docs, and key passwords are released to a tech savvy friend. Anyone know of existing solutions for this?

Requirements of:

• Not providing keys to a third-party beforehand
• Not forgeable to open
• If possible, no "weekly press a button"

I'm thinking some kind of key pair where my friend has the private key and the public key is provided to a family member, and when activated a timer starts where I could cancel the release.

Hi all,

About to go full no-Google, but am missing one app alternative. This is URL Forwarder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.daverix.urlforward

It allows users to share to it like a bookmarklet. Anyone know of something else that does this?

An example use case would be browsing in your Lemmy app and sharing the post URL to another webpage.

So I haven't run a custom ROM for a long time and I'm thinking of trying out GrapheneOS. Before I do, is there a modern way to take a full disk image of a stock Pixel 8? The intent would be to factory restore to where I am in this moment if need be.
