I have a Shelly plug that is programmed internally to turn itself on if off for 20 seconds. Home assistant turns the plug off for 10 seconds if curl ip.me fails for 15 minutes.

My modem is plugged into that.

I’ve never had a router or firewall crash if I wasn’t fucking with it and did something stupid ill-advised, so I don’t try that kind of stuff unless I’m home.

Me to handbrake for two decades: stop trying to make MKV happen! It’s not going to happen!

Guess I owe them an apology

Any other phone is going to have that bloat and more

Make sure you don’t have a full disk somewhere

Solingen, where is that?

oh

Same with the bloat. Do I want Cortana, Bixby, AND Gemini lurking in the shadows?

To piggyback on the permissions hissy fit-

My aar stack, openmediavault, and transmission stack have different usernames mapped to the same uid and it is a pain in the ass. I “fixed it” by making a NAS group that catches them all, but by “fixed it” I really mean “got it working”

So be aware of what uid will own a file and maybe change it to a uid in the 1100+ range to make NFS easier in the future.

It’s not AI unless it’s running on a cluster of H200s. Anything else is just sparkling text prediction.

Pretty much anything with a heat spreader should be impossible to accidentally kill. Bare die? May dog have mercy on your soul.

Here’s why US sunscreen sucks. Find some grey market bemotrizinol if you can.

DDR4 got so cheap, you could sprinkle it on a build like parmesan cheese. DDR5 is still relatively expensive. I see a lot of people landing on 48 gigs.

Moss Landing battery storage facility has repeatedly caught fire, which highlights another potentially major savings for grid operators, as the fallout of such events are instead borne by the operator of the battery, which for the DSGS would be the home owner.

Where do I sign up?

If you’re in the omada ecosystem, a one-off unifi device is going to frustrate you. They’re trying to wrangle you into buying shit like this: https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/up-floodlight

Which part is slow? I run a software controller in a proxmox VM and it is plenty quick. My router is an opnsense vm and has 8 ryzen 7700x threads assigned to it, so no problems there 😁

I keep my Linux ISOs on mergerfs over NFS via open media vault. All of them are easily replaced so I don’t bother backing them up.

Nextcloud, paperless, and photos get their whole image backed up on proxmox local, and a remote PBS. I’m the only user so the sizes are quite manageable.

The Hairpin Route of Oak St!

I had a Nix partition on a beater laptop and it reminded me of Gentoo back in the day. Every update took at least 20 minutes.

Is this some declarative joke I am too imperative to understand?

Those brake pads are the same not because they are aftermarket- PBR supplied both systems originally and recycled much of the designs and tooling.

With hwe kernels, I’m generally satisfied with my Qualcomm NCM825. It might fail to come back from sleep 1 time out of 100 but that may be fixed now that I think about it.
