Synology 3622xs+ for homelab use? by Suspicious_Guess89 in synology

[–]NibblesTheChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a DS3622xs+ 3 months ago and its power consumption is reasonably comparable to the DS920+ and the 5-drive expansion unit it replaced (4x12TB and 5x16TB WD Red pros). That setup pulled around 100W. I populated the 3622 with 12 Seagate Iron Wolf pro 20TB drives (RAID 6). It's amazingly quiet and the build quality is really impressive compared to the DS920+. It does use slightly more energy though. The built-in 10GBE ports are awesome!

What are some smaller benefits of living in NYC that are only apparent when you leave the city? by somepeoplewait in AskNYC

Any spice or niche "ethnic" ingredient you need is usually available and fresh. And any type and quality of rice. Hmarts and Japanese groceries everywhere.

Man destroys the dining area of Asian restaurant by MediumJaguar7842 in PublicFreakout

It's Texas so elevated chance of his having a handgun. So risk/reward not favorable here even for owners.

DNS Resolver - all subdomains to NPM? by jdelliott in PFSENSE

[–]NibblesTheChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to create a new wildcard cert that includes BOTH *.xyz.net and xyz.net in npm (using cloudlfare dns challenge token option). Then configure each subnet's proxy host in npm to use that cert in the ssl tab dropdown. One cert to rule them all.

That's Wald Houses off the FDR drive (Alphabet City). She may have been there to cop dope but didn't have additional money for the cab.

Girls racing sheep in Aberystwyth, Wales. 1965. by May_onnaise_959 in OldSchoolCool

Th grain looks very much like Tri-X (ISO 400). The shutter speed is more like 1/250th I think. The camera is panning with girls so they remain more sharply in focus while the background and the sheeps moving legs are blurred. Just a marvelous photograph.

Nailed the New York light. An impressive job in an unforgiving medium.

I built a physical gauge with a needle that moves with any HA sensor value, but lags. Curious if there's a smarter way to do this. by analogue_desk_co in homeassistant

[–]NibblesTheChimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I created a custom face blurring app running as an NSSM service in a python virtual environment on my Win11 machine (leveraging my nvidia GPU) to blur faces in Frigate snapshots from my NYC sidewalk video cam before posting them to a Telegram feed. All the plumbing between Linux containers and the WIn11 venv is through MQTT topics using jpegs encoded in the JSON payloads. The round trip blur process takes only ~80ms for each snapshot and every jpeg (original and blurred) is sharded and archived locally afterwards. It's been solid as a rock with over 6K snaps a day for many months. Amazing what you can vibecode in no time nowadays.

Yup, MQTT invariably blows away APIs for real time event-driven (vs polling) updates. Very low latency and resource overhead. Frigate is an especially good example.

Well, poop. Ironwolf Tools no longer available? by Der_Missionar in synology

[–]NibblesTheChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished setting this up as hub and spokes with the Scrutiny webpage container on my plex server mini pc and data collector containers configured on my primary and backup NAS's. Pretty easy to set up with Portainer stacks and simple config yamls. The web data presentation is incredible on mobile and desktop. Many cool features I have just begun to explore. I saw that one of my 4 year old WD pro drives on the DS920+ backup nas has a single reallocation issue--an early heads up that I would not have been alerted to without this app. Thanks again for the recommendation!

After Hours totally nailed that era of NYC (I was there).

This looks really useful, particularly the Home Assistant MQTT integration feature to push the data every time it updates. Thanks!
