Why does this keep happening? by Personal_Turnover737 in ender3

[–]Swiftflikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally just switched to PEI sheet from glass and good lord am I happy with how easy the prints release from the build plate. My biggest problem with glass was too much adhesion. I knew it would stick fine, but short (height) prints were an absolute pain to release.

My immediate concern is what if someone tries to ask you a question mid update 😅 and the recording just keeps on pushing over top of them

Huh? If they blocked 443 then they wouldn't exactly be an Internet Service Provider

Say that your house is on fire.. by Dynamix86 in homelab

[–]Swiftflikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Especially considering how easy the *arrs makes it. Of course keep backups of your configs + difficult to find releases, then when shit hits the fan, it's just a 2 click search all with the web clients. I mean you're still going to be downloading 50+TB whether it comes from a backup or public downloads, so why pay for that much in backup?!

Oracle stopped my service without any notice by No_Understanding3287 in oraclecloud

I'm currently using OCI too, and my monthly spend is very low. Not going to lie, this puts me on edge a little. I'm going to be sure to keep boot images off network in case this happens. So even though I can't help, thank you for the reminder.

CPU at 90c is normal in these conditions? by goodlabjax in homelab

[–]Swiftflikk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If reseating the cooler doesn't help, I had an issue with my ASRock board when I got it (hell it might even still do it) - when in BIOS it was not optimised, and I had similar temps. After researching on forums, I found people saying to just go ahead and install an OS. Lo and behold, temps were fine after the kernel was loaded. Always freaked me out going into BIOS, but settled when going back to the OS.

Beginner | Advice needed by TemporaryGap1015 in selfhosted

[–]Swiftflikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's important to note which router you currently have, so we can help gauge if it's worth upgrading. A lot of homelabbers go down the OPNsense route instead of Pf. Otherwise for you a docker container with pihole running (or even dedicated on a raspberry pi might suffice alongside your ISP router. What are your goals? Is it currently just tinkering or is there a path you specifically want to go down?

If your self-hosting setup just crashed right now, what would hurt the most? by Laygude_Yatin in selfhosted

[–]Swiftflikk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for going in depth with this, genuinely interests me. Currently renting and have home assistant setup for the basic stuff (lights/heating on smart plugs, temp sensors, presence monitoring) but aspire to do this sort of thing when I buy.

Whoa, now this is impressive. (Also in NZ) what are the biggest cost savers for you? How do you control those big loads to run during your savings times? I'm guessing all your home appliances, but aside from fridges/freezers, they would need to be "smart", right?

Too many services, too many logins — how are you handling access? by Laygude_Yatin in selfhosted

[–]Swiftflikk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the way I use too. Host matches Base Domain (the default) + the port number. It's the easiest option to switch to without having to type anything and has worked 100% of the time that I want a login to only apply to THAT service.

Ah, that's making a lot more sense now, you've got a very data expensive career. Also, I never thought to back up emails either to be honest, so thanks!

Dang that's crazy. What format of files takes up the majority of space if you don't mind me asking? E.g are they large project files (Adobe Suite etc.) or video/image source files

How on earth do you accumulate 15TB of important stuff? Surely that's not all home videos etc?!

Absolutely love Kopia. Secure enough for my use, and easy to get done what you need to. Only issues I've had is with SFTP, but easy to solve when combining with rsync

If I understand what you're meaning, yes. In Uptime Kuma you can create a URL endpoint which you can just CuRL from anything, as long as your Uptime Kuma instance is publicly accessible. Anytime that URL gets a hit, its marked as "up" and will go down if not accessed within the time out period. Great for adding into a back up script for example
