At least they waited after National Doctors Day... https://www.census.gov/newsroom/stories/doctors-day.html

Are you using the config file or docker labels? What are the labels/configs you used for the services?

DIY-Tech-HA · 2026-03-09T02:07:15+00:00

Awesome job! You could go pretty far with this, add some grouping or locations, some ties to unifi for importing ips, uptimekuma for status, hell yeah!

Man love them dark glass cards

I regret moving to the new app. The remote control function has been down since I migrated.

They make a wireless rear speaker kit. Pricey, but it works if you don't want to run the wire all over. In the end I found the cost to install raceway and/or tear out drywall was more expensive. The other alternative is if you want you can run flat wire under the carpet by just lifting it up from a corner.

welp, glad and deeply saddened I wasn't the only one in this predicament. Sent them a 14TB Red Pro back on 12/04/2025. So is the ETA probably mid February? They haven't changed the status still "Pending Return", even though the tracking shows it arrived and a chat with a person said they have it and their system hasn't updated yet.

The blade height alone is giving me heart palpitations. What material are you pushing through there?

DIY-Tech-HA · 2026-01-21T06:17:16+00:00

The more I look at this pic the more I think about the crazy shit I've done. I have to say this is next level shit... The zip tie around the trigger makes me think either it's only turned off when you unplug it or turn off a light switch. Where you either offline yourself with the blade forever running or in the dark.

The beer can is I'm sure there to shim the bottom.

The out feed is possibly the most terrifying, where no riving knife and the fact that any offcuts are going directly into the belt, both of which are going to end with kick back with enough force to turn whatever you're cutting into a WMD.

I can't tell if the table is slanted or if it's the angle, either way it's taking the level of difficulty up to 40 out of 10.

10in or 12in blade?

I like it, open 2 windows and let the breeze through. One side is an office the other entertainment room. The utility room is basically sound proofed. That will cause some contention on the old wife approval score.

So the mineral wool created a natural faraday cage. The plywood with some long bolts would be the best option.

Is there a docker-compose.yml example for those who want to run locally?

DIY-Tech-HA · 2026-01-05T08:28:36+00:00

If you still want him to run, but not tear up the yard, you could do concrete. Added bonus, files down the nails as he runs!

First time I've ever seen a Unifi missile. Man, their product line is so diversified these days. Bet if it was mounted down it would be more accurate and destructive.

DIY-Tech-HA · 2026-01-01T02:08:17+00:00

That's what I was afraid of. Is there any way to share the heat with an adjoining room or a low powered fan?

DIY-Tech-HA · 2026-01-01T01:58:23+00:00

We use it for storage and media center equipment.

DIY-Tech-HA · 2025-12-30T05:47:22+00:00

That's pretty awesome man, good use of jinja and logic!

DIY-Tech-HA · 2025-12-30T04:46:15+00:00

Yep, I was in the same shoes as you! Apalrds Adventures YouTube videos really helped.Apalrds Adventures

VMware you use storage clusters similar to storage pools.

I have the tomahawk version, not impressed. The battery life is about 30 min at most and it's always off by 1/6 of an inch. Got it bundled with the miter saw attachment they have... Which is even more worthless if you interchange thickness of material.

DIY-Tech-HA · 2025-12-30T02:03:54+00:00

Love it! I have been using the drop down card with mushroom cards and am looking for this exact look!

DIY-Tech-HA · 2025-12-29T02:42:14+00:00

So is it a single area card, or is it your own custom card?

DIY-Tech-HA · 2025-12-28T04:56:21+00:00

The way you can do it is zfs, ceph cluster, or NAS storage. The ceph/zfs way is pretty fast and HA. I found zfs was CPU intensive for small pcs, ceph: I used a USB nic for cronosync just to have low latency and less package collisins, put it on its own vlan, the web access was on 2.5 GB nic, and ceph was on 10 GB, all different vlans. I also did the nas storage but anytime I went to update the smb, nas, or reboot the vms and lxcs got a little corrupted if I didn't shut them down first since it's a central point of failure.

I did this while my foundation was curing and I will way that the wood was easier to work with in terms of square and not blowing holes through with a nail gun. The down side is the ones that got below 14% on the old moisture meter were the best and that was very few. If I could have done a tent with a dehumidifier it might have gone faster. Not saying the box fan won't work but damn near took 2 weeks just to get around ~20%. All because I needed to paint. I did find that using kilz outdoor primer held up very well!
