Same for me, I just knew it because I stumbled across it recently.

Well,tbf, AMD is at least a little bit better than Intel. They are even worse.

I fucking want proper, block based naming back

Tbh, as someone who just built their own system I am a little bit angry that they didn’t announce it a few months earlier - I would have waited a bit longer then to see their pricing.

The specs are solid for a “Proxmox NAS with ZFS and containers”. For a regular NAS it’s oversized,but we all know that. The trend towards integrated devices is there and I went down that way as well.(And if you can actually install a different OS of course)

Anyway: If they can deliver what they promise it might be one of the most interesting systems - it doesn’t have many of the issues the Ugreens have (lack of ECC,etc.) and if they manage to deliver… it’s pushing into a space a lot of prosumers and small companies are that is currently only covered by self builds or spending much more money than necessary.

They list the AI 9 Hx Pro 370 which does support ECC.

Bitwarden is absolutely solid,yes.

Local server wise: If OP uses it in a local only setup behind a proper VPN implementation from my point of view the risk is acceptable. It’s not that hard to secure a home server in a way that Vaultwarden is not at risk - and when you’re so compromised that it is, then the attacker can easily use other vectors to gain the same data (RAt,keyloggers, etc.)

mam?

I would love to see a replacement that supports Anna’s Archive.

Now make it 60! That’s the only number that counts! One per second!

(And yes, that’s doable,done that,but won’t do it again…it wasn’t pretty,it wasn’t fun)

Yeah. Some even go on Holidays to Florida.

I have some very very remote family links to an Amish family. They absolutely use technology but can only do so for work purposes, the computer is highly locked down, in a special room at their work (a carpentry business) and only specific people are allowed to use it. But they have a newsletter and do market their products online and may have a website (But I don’t know the latter for sure).

It was long debated in their community if it was permissible for us to send them E-Mails as that clearly is a personal purpose, but with us being in Europe and Australia it was also considered that the “bond of the family” is important to them. In the end they found a typical “Amish” solution - a very “special one”. We received their monthly newspaper(which is normally printed only,but is electronically produced) and were allowed to send “urgent” messages (e.g. if someone was born,died,etc.) to them(and they were allowed to answer then). But not personal business, that has to go through regular mail. (Funny enough when I was in highschool and asked a few general questions via e-mail for a school presentation that was sooner than mailing back and forth allowed, that brought up another big discussion and they had to decide if answering my questions would already be proselytising or not. (It wasn’t but that took longer than my presentation date…so it didn’t help so much).

We have lost contact sadly during COVID as their children all didn’t come back from Rumspringa(and are seemingly not interested )and the parents have grown old - which is a bit sad considering that this connection was held up for the whole time since the Amish left Europe.

The learning curve isn’t that step anymore, especially for Singleplayer - even for more experienced Arma Players the main frustration there is the “trial and error” factor in the missions. Online it’s a bit different - if you don’t play full on MILSIM and focus on infantry combat you will be good there as well. It’s all manageable these days. And still great fun.

Tbh, I read that there were multiple Stasi Agents faking exactly that type of personality. If you can’t keep a secret besides that one important secret… Everyone will think you can’t keep a secret. … which means you couldn’t be a spy.

I am a paramedic for more than 2 decades now,but work in an office most days now. I have cared for (and in 2 cases declared death on scene) more people than I have fingers who fell off these. Besides two, neither of them was responsible for the fall.

2 cases of a hydraulic rupture (which leads to the platform going down fast and uneven. The harness is also meant to keep you close to the platform so you don’t fall in between the elements.) 1 being raised stupidly,pushing a load onto their coworker(that was DOA) 1 fall due to being hit by a coworker with a part (DOA after 7m faceplant) And a fair share of units being hit by forklifts, trucks or similar things.

… OSHA rules are written in blood. And often the victims are not the ones who caused it.

Old PCs often have that problem. My “NAS” is more a full on proxmox server with an AM5 CPU, 64GB ECC and yet it halved my power consumption compared to its predecessors.

Easiest way is to use a tasmota based power plug. They need to calibrated once,but then are pretty reliable and can be found for 15 bucks.

Nous A1T (or similar nous,but watch out for the T at the end, Z is zigbee) is popular in central europe. They are well built and cheap as fuck. But again,they need to be calibrated once which you need a steady user (e.g an old incandescent light bulb ) and a multimeter for… It’s easy and only needs to be done once.

Another option are the Inter-Tech PDUs, they costs around a 100 Bucks, are fully IP, can switch channels but only measure the consumption of the whole strip. If you have a more advanced USV they often have a total power consumption measurement.

If you want to go all in you need to look for “switched and metered” PDUs, but they are fucking expensive. The Cyberpower PDU81005 is the cheapest “good” one and is over 400 bucks here . So… Most people won’t do that,even in a professional setting.

Yeah,the most open source solutions atm. Sadly development slowed down a bit.

Just a few considerations:

• For a 12 bay NAS I would strongly consider ZFS - which makes ECC more or less a must.

• Mainboard wise the CWK AMD Board is worth a consideration, and so is the Asrock Live Mixer B850 if you want ECC on AMD5

• A popular build option is using a cheap used or “Chinese” host-build controller as SATA ports are hard to get these days.

• I would personally look at using Proxmox and then TrueNAS as an NAS OS and simply passthrough the HBA.

• Another alternative would be using a Zimbra Board and use their expansion options - but that comes with downsides in terms of CPU power and no ECC.

• For Plex it might be favourable to use a CPU with a built-in GPU for transcoding. Intel is slightly better here, but has other downsides, especially if you want ECC

• Get a Geekworm PiKvm, a original PiKVM, a NanoPi oder JetKVM…or something like that. it’s worth it.

• If you don’t feel like self-building anymore have a look at the Ugreen. They come without the “only approved HDDs” Synology bullshit, allow you to install your own OS and are fairly capable. But sadly they do not support ECC. (And they aren’t really cheaper than self building at least not in central Europe.)

• Self building is absolutely possible and we are here to help you.

This plus technitium DNS is exactly my approach.

Damn,yeah …it was late…

I use different things:

• Netbox for the actual hard “inventory” like documentation. What cable goes where, what powers what, what MAC is assigned to what, when did I buy this or that?(The later with an addon). In theory I also have snipe-it,but doing it all in netplan is more convenient.

• Wiki.js for the concept and How-To-Side. Lots of draw.io diagrams (which can be done directly in articles), HOWTOs as a reminder for me, naming conventions, etc. Also some basic inventory information for disaster recovery. (Wiki.js is not hosted locally)

• Vaultwarden for all secrets,passwords, recovery keys, ssh keys,etc.

• Gitea for the most important config files/scripts/docker compose files.

• And last but not least I do backups to Mdisc Blue Rays every few months. These include the documentation, the most important files (knx project for example), etc. and are stored at a different location (bank safe). There is also an detailled explanation in both my wifes and my own will how to access these so if something happens the kiddos or someone taking care of them can gain access.

No,more like an “AD” replacement. Does a lot of things(DNS,DHCP,some Apps),always depends on what one needs.

It sounds like it, but there are a few things I still need to do.

• AMP Gamemanager to get better control of the servers for the kiddos

• Codeproject AI for better image recognition with agent dvr

• A proper voice AI setup with HA

• I need to get my PBX setup going again

• I will soon clean up my media and storage solution and move to TrueNAS

And I need to automate more. One day…
