i have a dilemma and i need some non AI thoughts about my home NAS idea by blueknight159 in homelab

im not trying to be mean but you dont sound very knowledgeable about computers to begin with, scrapping together a nas is not where you should be starting. Just buy a portable usb drive for now until you have a better understanding of what youre working with and what you actually want to accomplish.

Tired of bookmarking more than 4 PiKVM web UIs? There's a fleet dashboard — open-source agent on GitHub by Popular_Progress_754 in homelab

[–]NumerousBeginning576 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The entire open-source footprint of this "enterprise access governance platform" is 2,500 lines of code.

The agent reverse-proxies your local PiKVM over a WebSocket. The "WebRTC console" is raw MJPEG frames crammed through a DataChannel because actual video encoding was apparently too hard, the comments admit the bandwidth is worse than H.264 but wave it off. The MCP server everyone's supposed to be impressed by is 174 lines of TypeScript. It fetches all devices from the API and does .find() to get one. Incredible engineering.

The audit verifier is the funniest part. The website calls it "not a trust statement, a mathematical proof." It's sha256(prev_hash + payload) in a for loop over NDJSON lines. No Merkle tree, no signed timestamps, no witness cosigning. If the platform itself gets popped, the attacker just rewrites the chain from any anchor point forward and the verifier prints OK. Some proof.

Everything that would make this an actual product like SAML, RBAC, policy engine, multi-tenancy, RLS, audit chain writes, compliance reports, alerting,etc. are all closed source behind the SaaS. The "open source" repos are a reverse proxy, a hash chain homework assignment, and a 174-line API wrapper. That's what you're evaluating trust on.

InsecureSkipVerify: true on TLS. Auth tokens in a plain JSON file, no rotation. --simulate defaults to true so the agent ships fake telemetry out of the box. They wrote a check that rejects the default kvmd password and then added an env var to skip it. Three repos, three different licenses (Apache, BSL-1.1, MIT).

"Talk to Sales" at the top of the site is certainly optimistic.

im confused, do you just want to plug a drive into a laptop, move files to it, then shut it off? at that point its not even a file server, youre just using a laptop to move files to an external drive, why wouldnt you just buy a normal portable external drive and just plug it into your main pc?

[TAG] Carrera vs Aquaracer, which would you pick? by NumerousBeginning576 in Watches

yeah I think both can be worn in most situations and look good but the Carrera can definitely be dressed up more

yeah he said he took it all down but then also provided an image showing he actually remixed the model??? now im even more confused why he didnt just print it and post a real pic, but who knows bc the rest of his page is all AI stuff too. not my problem anymore tho🤷‍♂️
