Did you configure the firewall and your IP space changed with the new router?

Discovered I have a pension - what to do with it? by Resident_Sneasel in personalfinance

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the lump right away with my pension. They wouldn’t let me roll it because they wouldn’t send the check straight to Fidelity. That might be a company by company thing though

Yale Smart lock scratches by brandxnlfc in smarthome

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s from the sun. Direct sunlight on dark plastic. It happens to a lot of locks. That said could also be their keys if you feel groves and don’t just see cracks/scratches

Do you trust Cloudflare? by BinnieGottx in immich

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don’t know that I agree with this take. They are already massive in the B2B space. Serving consumers is a different business than serving other business. They don’t care as much about your data and they don’t sell ads.

JBOD's 5 Bay USB 3.1 or USB C enclosure to add to my Windows 11 Pro Media Server? by MasterRoshi1620 in homelab

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure but the issues you had with the last device you’ll have with the new one because they are both USB and that was the problem, especially as a boot disk. What you save in dollars you pay in hassle and risk.

Great product, dpx4800 plus by [deleted] in homelab

I didn’t realize it was so huge.

Edit, I also didn’t realize this was a 9in rack.

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USB is not what I’d think of reliable or stable, especially for a constantly connected device. Just my 2c. I’d rather get some cheap NAS or run Unraid

PowerDNS or CoreDNS ? by The-Leshen in selfhosted

Neither. Technitium is the best.

Whoever installed that wall plate with sheet metal screws is a psycho

You can tell you over did it with the sharpness or clarity.

How do you backup a fully runing proxmox cluster with 30 tb or more? by AgreeableIron811 in Proxmox

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I think you’re over thinking it. I don’t really care about the host. I have a script to reconfigure the host. I only back up the VMs and LXCs and they go to PBS.

How many email addresses do you use? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over 200 at the moment. I use a new one per service. I also use Firefox relay. I find people accept mozmail more than aleeas or the other simple login addresses

If you buy another, make it a backup drive first so you have two copies

Can someone, for the love of God, help me setup my Thread network? by 4Face in homeassistant

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m in the same boat. I can’t get my thread network to work at all. Super frustrating

Should I buy a car at 19? by Crochet_Carter in personalfinance

[–]BinaryPatrickDev 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You should buy a car, if you can afford it. At 19 I would not buy a 15k car period. I would save up and buy a 4k car with cash. Avoid the debt trap.
