Ditto. I just farted to look into this yesterday and found the trash guides. It was pretty incomprehensible and I gave up. I hope to come back to this thread later and see that someone has explained how to set this up simply.

Nice! Care to share a picture you took?

I read your whole site and find it very inspiring. My wife spent six months in Ghana when she was 18 and had a very life changing experience. I hope to visit some day and will definitely reach out if I do.

Though I had a successful career as a software developer in the nonprofit space, my current interests and expertise are in meditation practices and psycho-spiritual integration. My theory is that the way to a better world is through healing our traumas, personal, collective, and intergenerational.

It’s both that they’re the color of cooked lobster, and they have a mild seafood flavor like lobster. They even smell pleasantly and mildly of seafood!

She should get that checked out

I had such a frustrating time getting onto that site and trying to figure out their karma system after I made it in. Nothing I actually wanted to read or listen to was available until you reached a certain level of upload. I downloaded all the free leech stuff but nobody downloaded it from me. It was a huge waste of time and I gave up eventually.

For anyone wondering how the density actually compares, it seems that sodium batteries are a bit more than half the energy density of the best lithium batteries, but are a less mature technology so that may improve over time.

The clicks are all “oh god oh god make it stop” clicks but no matter to them.

Any recs on a thin waffle iron? Everything is Belgian style these days.

I’ve done a lot of tangzhong for dinner rolls and hamburger buns, but haven’t tried it for my sourdough yet! I’ll definitely be experimenting with scalding some of the flour next loaf, thanks for the inspiration!

Just checked on my pi4 with 4GB of ram that has been running beautifully as a NAS with 2x10TB USB drives mirrored, *arr suite, and Jellyfin for a couple of years, only 250mb of RAM free. I’m glad I splurged and got the 4gb model.

You don’t want a swap file on the SD card as excessive writes will kill it rather quickly.

I’ll take an 8 bay NAS with Thunderbolt/USB 4 for the best of both worlds. My only problem is that I’m very sensitive to sound and I don’t want spinning hard drives in my office.

I’m very happy with ansible-NAS! https://ansible-nas.io/

It takes some extra time to understand and configure up front on another computer, but once you do, reimaging the server in case of problems takes a single command.

That’s great. It’s been chugging along beautifully with no downtime for me too. It’s just that one failed update attempt, losing internet and network while it was down, and needing to go Ethernet directly into the box to do the snapshot rollback late at night made me afraid to try again. Last night it took me two hours to update everything , first proxmox 7 to 8, then OPNsense needed 4 rounds of update and reboot but each one was seamless.

I’m also on ZFS with two primary mirrored drives. Do you have to check zfs status regularly to see if a drive has failed? Or is there some kind of warning system when logging in via SSH?

I’m thinking of turning my rarely used windows gaming PC into a proxmox host with a Linux gaming VM for my next adventure.

Edit: realized it was a whole node that failed, not just a drive. Cool setup! I’m not there yet. I’m curious about your setup, what’s between the modem and the router?

You just described my setup of about a year. I’m struggling to update opnsense, last time I tried it just stopped working and I had to restore a snapshot from proxmox to get it working again. If anyone reading this has any suggestions I’m all ears!

Just updated proxmox and opnsense with few snags and it just worked. Phew.

Fantastic summary, I don’t understand why this post had a 1:1 upvote:downvote ratio when the article is so relevant and interesting.

I can now say that I oscillate between reformist and hedonic defeatist attitudes, with an aesthetic ideal somewhere between solarpunk and cottage core. It’s fascinating to me how strongly some of the other views make my stomach churn.

You’re right about Apple. I hope the EU will force openness into the ecosystem. I’m also hopeful that open and free alternatives will continue to become more viable in terms of user experience; the switch to Lemmy from Reddit has been mostly painless.

Thanks for the recommendations.

Edit: Raivo is perfect for a dedicated Authenticator app in the Apple ecosystem. I’ll likely pay for Bitwarden instead as I want to support their great product.

Any iOS alternatives? Couldn’t find either of these in the App Store.
