2012 macbook pro in the cupboard as server. Put nixos on it and it flies now, only wish the Magsafe connection was a bit more stable.

Its got gigabit so should be good.

Thought of a problem: I only pulled 300MB/s in initial test of 10G to my NAS (direct from PC) . Theoretical is 1.2GB/s right? NAS is 5 disk RAID5 spinning rust which interfaces to NAS expansion through USB3. so, this has to be the issue right?

Fix: cut out the USB for slight gain, add SSD cache for medium gain, or switch to all SSD to hit theoretical... Right?

So, slightly tangential, but I have a failed home automation project this past week.

I have been using an unofficial integration for my mini-splits for a few years. The guy who wrote it likes to disappear for 6 months at a time and it seems like it may be abandoned. It finally stopped working after a home assistant update.

I had bought some ESP based replacement dongles about a year ago and decided to finally use them. Well, not all of the features worked, so I set about writing my own firmware.

That ended up working even less well. I wasted a lot of time and effort trying to get my firmware to work before giving up and just moving to the fork of the original Home Assistant integration for the official dongles.

I hate being beholden to third party stuff like this because I have robust automation setup for my mini-splits and updates can completely break them and be a massive pain to fix.

I'm not sad I tried and failed so much as I'm just sad it didn't work. I may try again sometime in the future.

I have been trying to get my own mastodon instance up and running this weekend

I maneged to get it up and running yesterday, but I get some permission errors when trying to upload like a profile image etc.

I found a few issues that sort of mentioned permission errors, but they suggested running chown in the container, which is not possible, and running chown on the linked volume, which looks like an empty folder, and it didn't solve the issue.

Hoping to fix it when I get back home later.

It's nice to have something to fiddle with as the world is falling apart around you.

Yup! PFBlockerNG. I thought the GeoIP thing from Maxmind was paid, since the setup asked for a license key. Nope, free. Just had to register.

I've had similar problems with some other Fedi service once and it was indeed a permission problem. Good luck!

Ok, thanks. Yeah, I don't use PostgreSQL much, so I have to get my head into it.

That said, it's only for Immich, so I could just wipe it and start again which might be quicker... it only took 3 days to scan the photos, it might take me longer to update the database

I do like Trello, but Kanboard is a pretty good replacement. Lacking some polish, but it's a trade-off I'm willing to make.

I moved my Home Assistant from Proxmox VM to a older Lenovo Laptop we had stored as we thought the charger wasn't working. We are preparing to move so it was my job to check that laptop as well as 2 others. 2 I am not going to use and e-scrap those later this week after yanking the drives out (I don't trust anyone with my old drives). It turned out, the charger works just fine! I just installed it early in the morning (Midnight) and so far, it seems just as responsive if maybe more than what I had on the Proxmox host so that's a win on my end. Plus, I was able to give it the full 8gb of RAM it has instead of the 4gb I gave it in Promxox and somehow it's showing lighter use than what I had in the VM. 2.8gb vs. 4-5gb it reported from the Home Assistant Hardware details when in the VM.
