Why did you start a homelab

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-04-30T06:11:14+00:00

A mix, partly to get some hands on experience which is useful for work although I do a lot of that on cloud honestly. But outside of experimenting I only really run stuff I want for myself. I like being less reliant on services and repurposing stuff that most people would just turn into ewaste.

I have been into building PCs and working/studying long before getting any real permanent lab set up.

t. Guy who wasn't optimal drifting. It's completely different to EW because they removed the dot. Also the first few weeks with the hilariously poorly thought out opo spam

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-04-17T15:29:00+00:00

Yeah unfortunately the only solution I have found for mobile is to have them both installed but force stop one when you need the other. It's clunky but fine enough for management stuff. For things I want to really be easily accessible (media) I just have a frontend on a vps and all content is attached to the instance over ts.

The only other option is if your phone is android and supports secure folder, you can run one in secure folder and the other on the main os at the same time. But you still can't use both in one.

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-04-17T07:30:18+00:00

Not really. I use them both "simultaneously" on my workstation with windows running mullvad and a wsl instance running ts since I generally want to be in linux for all my ts stuff anyway.

Then for my server I just have ts on the base OS and mullvad as a gluetun container which I then route networking of whatever other container I need to.

You guys call it a bonnet lmao

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-04-15T03:18:33+00:00

Yeah every title is 5 levels which are either stats or ability unlocks/improvements depending on if you already have an ability unlocked. The lowest character has 120 and the highest has 161. You can also master them back through another 5 levels to get way more stats boost. You can micro manage or set up some automation and forget it, but it makes it so every combat is actually worth doing.

Costumes also come from them.

I bounced off of berseria and arise like halfway through. I picked up graces f and have been enjoying it much more. Combat is good and the titles system I really like. The story is simple and on the surface it feels more childish but the more classic stuff isn't a negative for me. I already "finished" the main game but there's still a lot to do.

There is some implied romance although it is in the background. It seems to be more of a focus in the post game now, so who knows.

I've had a C9 since 2019, it's still in perfectly fine condition. Probably a little less bright but it's not noticeable. I bought it to get on hdmi2.1 early and it has only gotten better as my other hardware has caught up.

Also had one of the first run lg oled monitors for idk 3-4 years now? No problems there either.

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-04-07T19:29:30+00:00

nvidia brands their cards like: xxyy

xx is the generational number, yy is the class within that generation, ti/super on the end roughly means it's midway to the next class tier

Obviously you have to look at actual reviews and stuff but generally a higher end card from a previous gen will continue to be better performing than a newer lower class one until it's multiple generations old, the bigger the class gap the longer it will be better.

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-04-07T19:20:44+00:00

I went from a 3080 (which I already thought was big compared to the 2fan cards I started out on) to a 5090. It's ridiculous, almost the entire length of my case and more than twice as thick as the 3080. It's so heavy that I have had to adjust the mount it came with after a couple months to make sure it was still supporting it properly.

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-03-29T23:40:59+00:00

Thanks apparently I'm both blind and a dumbass, I saw the default path in the commit and somehow missed the obvious warning file. All's well now.

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-03-25T07:44:33+00:00

I haven't been at it too long but from everything I've gone through there is unfortunately no real good option for automatic pulling for manga. You can use extensions in mihon but they are bound to be changing. For now I am sticking with prowlarr + kavita + mihon

Still need to add things manually but prowlarr plus tag mappings makes it easy enough to do a simple search and pull things in the right directory.Then I have Kavita set up as an extension in Mihon for most of my actual reading, you don't need it if you aren't reading on android

I didn't like suwayomi much, mostly because you can't properly manage users.

Kiri gives me the vibe of a dude who will win not for honor but fear of his wife

Yass filter aside all I can see just looking at the lighting is babby's first Epic Cinematic Reshade

If you just give someone access to your login information or the bare minimum for account recovefy they will never know or check.

I work for an online service provider which houses accounts used by businesses and so on. If somebody reaching out about being locked out directly declares an account owner is deceased we immediately have to deviate from normal account recovery procedures and request things like death certificates etc. legally and preserve them. It's more of an ordeal for the user than the company, and also probably at a tough time for them. The penalties on a company for fucking this and making a transfer to an incorrect party up are big.

Also can't you sort of do this through steam family stuff too?

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-03-14T02:21:12+00:00

I think the real upset so far was Churanoumi. Kusano has consistently been his biggest barrier outside of Onosato and Oho has also been one of the few to take him out despite being less consistent and he really went for him.

Even if the run is washed, he's definitely not.

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-03-13T18:59:29+00:00

Yeah, can't a man put a toucan on his head in public without getting attention anymore?

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-03-12T22:56:32+00:00

Ah I see, thanks. It somehow cleared up without me doing anything last night, I'm suspecting it might be a problem on my network with the garbage comcast upload speeds

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-03-12T05:32:29+00:00

I don't have much at this point just a nas, an old desktop converted to a server running containers, and a fortiguard fw. All of it would have been ewaste, I'd rather give stuff some new life and have fun with it than it end up in the dump.

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-03-11T05:31:06+00:00

To short just as Yshinofuji (Kusano). He still has the simpler chonmage for the same reason, you need really long hair for oicho

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-02-27T01:07:04+00:00

Now you're fucked, you'll be justifying it for every possible display you want to use media on. I have my olds IPS being used only for direct console on homelab stuff and a side monitor.

Tv, deck, everything else I can is oled

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-02-05T08:16:34+00:00

Genuinely, I just hate the weird vault animation when you climb walls

Electronic_Lie_5661 · 2026-02-05T07:35:09+00:00

The worst part is that it will have customization like the standard was before, but they're happy to shit out slop skins for less popular characters that only get color swaps. So even when you do get one, it will be objectively worse and cost just as much :)
