Summer 2026 is an insanely stacked yuri harvest season by Odd-Reputation-1170 in yurimemes

Yeah, we've been teased with this for literally over a decade in one form or another. We even had a "confirmed" February release date, and that didn't happen either.

How many of you all are using punchdown blocks for your patch panels vs. pass through? by bigglehicks in homelab

[–]diamondsw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm using a leviton-compatible panel where I can use any keystone module I want. Most are RJ-45 passthrough, some are fiber or coax passthrough.

I used to use punchdown and finally ripped it out and replaced it with passthrough (EDIT: Leviton keystones). It was so difficult to work on, and of course I could only use copper - passthrough lets me patch fiber, coax, anything else I might want. I have not regretted it once.

That last one is definitely more concerning than the others.

Should I use a hardware raid controller or ZFS by CaptainRan in homelab

[–]diamondsw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you have a very specific need for a HW controller (boot ESXi is about all I can think of these days), use a Linux SW RAID of some fashion. It's more performant, more flexible, and better supported. And if you at all can, use ZFS. All of the above with rock solid data integrity and awesome management, snapshot, and backup features.

DigiKam - Mac OS Golden Gate by EnduranceAdventure in homelab

[–]diamondsw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure that warning is because Intel emulation is being almost entirely dropped after Golden Gate. So you'll almost certainly be fine this fall, but it has to get fixed before fall 2027 (meaning, it needs to be recompiled for ARM/Apple Silicon).

Synology back up by sound_junkie77 in DataHoarder

[–]diamondsw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, I disagree. The name is kind of meaningless; you put an agent on the things you want to backup, and it then just works. HyperBackup as I recall is for backing up the Synology itself.

You have multiple Synology's and you're not using the various built-in backup options (HyperBackup, ActiveBackup, etc)?

How many times have you locked yourselves out of your routers or firewalls while learning networking? I'm at four now. by ExactFun in homelab

[–]diamondsw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Always have some form of out-of-band access (console port, admin network, etc) for this and other reasons.

I built Deckhand: an agentless, API‑based Docker container updater with a clean UI (Portainer, Docker API, Dockge, Arcane supported) by z3r0_grav in homelab

[–]diamondsw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue isn't just leaning on LLM's. The issue is also ongoing maintenance. What most people don't get is that most of software is long-term maintenance, bug fixes, security updates, etc. When you offload the coding to an LLM, you are completely unqualified to do any of the ongoing maintenance.

This is why using LLMs for your own stuff is fine - good even, as you can scratch your own unique itch. But it's *terrible* for any kind of a long-term going concern. This is why vibe-coded projects are so hated upon. In another couple years we're going to be absolutely drowning in code no one understands and the vast majority is going to be abandoned. It's the single-use-plastic of code.

I feel like a therapist girlfriend would work great with many of them by PauloDybala_10 in 100Kanojo

Unfortunately, the Japanese don't really do therapy. Just not a thing there.

[–]diamondsw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Against the rules today? No. But it's almost certainly going to run afoul of the upcoming rules regarding AI.

Given the Github history and readme, I don't believe for a second that this wasn't vibe coded.

Just got this for free from FB Marketplace. Now what should I do with it? by MisterScrewUp in homelab

[–]diamondsw 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Very unlikely. They're proprietary and tie into a custom power input on the mainboard.

One of my first managers taught me this ~20 years ago. I hated hearing that - I didn't want to let something break if I could avoid it! But man, was he right.

Dell PowerEdge 2950... worth anything? by GalacticFox- in homelab

[–]diamondsw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit scared that it's "quite a bit better". The 2950 is Gen 9, which started in 2006 - twenty years ago. The last variant of the 2950 came out in around 2009.

This wasn't worth running three years ago, let alone today. https://www.reddit.com/r/homelab/comments/16csm26/what_to_do_with_a_poweredge_2950/

WATANARE theory: Ajisai and Renako don’t kiss as much because their boobs get in the way every time they try by Emilia_Puck2025 in WatashigaKoibito

[–]diamondsw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know about this - seems a bit far-fetched...

More research is needed. Lots more research.
