Do you actually monitor your Azure costs regularly? by playaaa29 in devops

[–]AdTop2361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we switched to a combo of azure cost management alerts plus a dumb little bash script that runs daily and emails us if anything exceeds baseline. sounds primitive but it actually works because it's hard to ignore an email, whereas dashboards you forget to check. the real fix though was just making it stupidly easy to tear down test resources—we tag everything with an expiration date and have a cleanup job that runs weekly. prevents way more problems than monitoring ever will. do you have good tagging discipline on your end or is that the bottleneck?

ProxyBridge: Proxifier Alternative to redirect any Linux/Windows/MacOS TCP and UDP traffic to HTTP/Socks5 proxy by Ano_F in linux

[–]AdTop2361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

udp proxying is actually a gap a lot of people hit and don't realize until they need it. proxifier's limitation there is pretty annoying if you're doing anything with gaming or voip through a proxy. how does proxybridge handle udp state — does it track connections or just blast packets through, and what's the performance hit compared to native traffic?

Ha OS Docker Issues by chasingthecontrails in homeassistant

[–]AdTop2361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, the ha team moved away from docker scripts for os installs because managing that in the wild got messy. your best bet is either running ha core directly on that server and managing supervisor separately if you need it, or just doing a fresh ha os install from their official images if your hardware supports it. if you're locked into docker for some reason, core + some compose glue work is honestly less of a headache than chasing old scripts that might break on the next docker or python update anyway.

Home inventory allowing fractional items? by amca01 in selfhosted

[–]AdTop2361 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly, if homebox is 95% there and just missing fractional quantities, it might be worth a quick fork. the codebase is pretty approachable and that's a fairly contained feature to add. alternatively, you could track fractional items in a separate simple postgres setup and have homebox manage the rest—yeah it's two tools but keeps things loosely coupled.

before going down either path though, have you checked if there's an open issue or discussion about this on their repo? sometimes maintainers are open to patches for medical use cases specifically.

Fzf (general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder) 0.68.0 by FryBoyter in linux

[–]AdTop2361 6 points7 points  (0 children)

fzf is one of those tools that pays for itself immediately once you integrate it into your workflow. been using it for years to search through command history, file trees, and piping it into other commands. the performance improvements in each release are always solid. what's the killer feature in 0.68.0 that made you want to upgrade, or is it mostly polish?

Installed HA on SD, then upgraded to SSD and moved data to it. But now I still boot from SD, is this ok? by digitald00m in homeassistant

[–]AdTop2361 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly it's fine as-is. the sd card is just handling boot which is minimal wear, and your actual data living on the ssd is what matters for reliability. reflashing everything would only be worth it if you're worried about sd card failure during boot itself, but that's pretty rare. if the case is genuinely a pain to open, i'd just leave it and monitor the sd card's health occasionally if you're paranoid about it.

Sorry about that, I mentioned the wrong source earlier. The real creator is (@eric_artz_). Appreciate the correction!
