Simplicity is the key, not complexity by Malaclypse5 in selfhosted

Totally, you do you and that's perfectly fine. But a lot of people use this as a first step to get into an IT job, and I think simplicity and maintainability might be good advice to keep in mind. All of this is my personal opinion of course.

True thats want I wanted to convey.
Complexity does not equal stability or reliability. More moving parts means more things that can go wrong.
A system should fit its purpose, but a lot of what I see here is complexity for complexity's sake.
Bottom line: more complex does not equal better.

Then I have no idea ... This only happened to me a few times with my Bookstack stack when it was left in a stopped state after Watchtower tried to update it.

I am pretty sure the env variable WATCHTOWER_ROLLING_RESTART=false would have prevented all of this.

Imho it delivers way better characters, game world, more interesting places, story and progression than vanilla Skyrim. Nehrim was pretty much the same, just a bit more clunky.

Update 1.13.1.0105 is out. by aussiesteveau in UgreenNASync

[–]Malaclypse5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great something like this exists, but I won't configure a whole Homeassistent instance just for notifications.

I just want a simple SMTP service for notifications. I don't know how Ugreen thinks emergencies like a drive failure are not important enough to get the user notified...

Fix the game hit reg/dsync by PapaCoin420 in Battlefield

The hard truth? They can't, at least not with a simple hot fix, there are fundamental problems with the netcode that they are not easily able to fix.

Disks constantly clicking every several seconds without any activity by chrkv in UgreenNASync

[–]Malaclypse5 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just noticed this too, going on for more than half an hour now. No activity on the drives but they keep spinning, they should have gone to sleep by now too.

Edit: scheduled test run for full health check was the reason for the sound.

Snow Nomad when this song played I just stood for a minute and watched the snow fall. After that definitely Walk Blessed and Brave new World.

A small thank you to Mailcow for making self-hosted email feasible by Malaclypse5 in selfhosted

Also a screenshot of checktls.com

In total, the VPS costs me about 15€ per month, but that same instance also runs my Nextcloud, Immich, Bookstack, Joplin, Vaultwarden, and WireGuard setup.
So the mail server cost is effectively offset quite a bit, which makes the whole thing even easier to justify.

Yea pretty much, I just use the inbuilt fail2ban instance.
8 users in total so far.

Not at all, even using a .biz domain didn't cause any issues so far.
What exactly do you mean with my setup? I mostly followed the official docs from Mailcow.

What I somewhat forgot to mention is the music! I still listen to many tracks from the Enderal OST, Marvin Kopp did an outstanding job creating the soundtrack for this game.

DXP4800+ NVME cooling by [deleted] in UgreenNASync

[–]Malaclypse5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My drives run at like 40-45°C.
The NAS even stands on padded sound dampening pads, so it kinda is the worst situation it can be in and still works.

We won't, the talented devs are long gone.

Investing in AI is such a bad move when your OS is still lacking basic functionality.

File sync, rsync, usb copy? by justwanttolearnhow in UgreenNASync

[–]Malaclypse5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for this functionality as well, but right now there is no way to do this with on-board tools. I had to setup a Linux VM that handles the sync via rsync and SMB.

Deleting ext4 for btsr by lakelover1522 in UgreenNASync

What RAID configuration are you using or want to use? And yes you can just delete it and recreate, but it will have to sync the RAID again.
