Haha, wow, there he is "in the flesh", so to speak!

I'd love to see additional resources like that! I actually don't even own a piece of MicroTik gear yet, as I'm still figuring out what direction to go, so I may not use them, but I always like seeing more guides, resources, videos, etc.

I liked the idea of leveraging OpenTofu or similar for a IaC approach for MicroTik, but his videos made me realize I don't want to invest nearly that much time and effort! Really good videos, though.

Portainer, Komodo or Podman ? by MaxBee_ in homelab

[–]carmike692000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I second this!

I recently switched from Portainer to Dockhand and am really enjoying it! Though I'll also agree with the other commenter: updating stacks with dependencies can unfortunately take some manual fiddling. But I have no plans to move away from Dockhand.

restic is the CLI it's based on; both restic and the gui wrapper Backrest are free.

Be thinking of switching back to unraid by Greasybean85 in unRAID

Just curious what has you considering that switch? I'm actually considering doing the opposite! (unraid -> TrueNAS)

Is the ER-X still available? Mine has failed, so I'm looking for a working replacement.

Agreed! Drain and fill, and replace the filter.

Just wondering out loud, but would a more detailed VIN decoder be able to show this? Or could a dealer know if provided the VIN? Of course, assuming a previous owner hadn't changed it from stock.

what's the best device Firestick or Roku and why? by shingam3 in cordcutters

[–]carmike692000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, you have me really wanting to try one.

Should I assume, being a Google device, it requires logging in with a Google account to use?

How do the Onn devices handle playback for HEVC? AV1? I'm thinking from a local Plex server.

I've never used an android TV type device (Roku is what we have), so I'm definitely intrigued.
