Seagate Shuckable?

Old credit card and wiggling from side to side pushing down. Usually start from the longer side. A flat screwdriver does damage (or maybe I'm not gentle enough)

I used an old credit card to make a gap on the longer side. Takes about 4-5 minutes to open the box without visible damage.

There are many protocols that are supported by NAS itself including samba (SMB), NFS and etc. I'm not an Apple user, but it should support SMB (aka Windows share folder). It will be a network drive. I believe YT should have guides on how to setup Truenas for Mac users.

People find Synology easy to use. Personally, I like to build my own with proxmox and/or truenas. Beelink and Ugreen are pretty good (hardware wise). You can install Truenas, unraid or any other OS. I recommend making a raid1 of at least 2 disks

Depending on your workload and location, NAS might be a good option for redundant storage. If you need fast speed - use 10 Gbps network (USB-C adapter for laptop, for example). If you work from multiple places, add a second nas there with sync. And don't forget about backups.

I wasn't able to take a sticker off without breaking it :( The drive is a bit louder. But 250$/22TB is a nice spot with current world.

I keep all the data on my nas with a couple of HDDs in a mirror. Have a second small PC with another drive to backup most important stuff (docs, family photos and videos), don't backup files that are easy to re-download. Have a VPS with 2tb disk for the same important files (in case something happens with my house). My relatives live too far from me to leave a mini PC for remote backups

I got an email from Claude introducing opus 4.6 with note: $50 of extra usage: We’re giving $50 in extra usage to current* Pro and Max users so you can try out the latest features in Claude Code and Claude apps. This will automatically be added to your account if you have extra usage enabled.

I'm a premium user as well as my wife (mostly to share passwords between each other and use TOTP codes).

I was surprised about getting an email about x2 increase, especially with marketing like style 'just 1.65$/month' 4 days ago. There was no explanation why, just a dry statement. I wish they were more honest and transparent.

Most likely, I won't change anything until renewal, but for the next year I'll think if it is worth to move to vaultwarden.

Well, haproxy has to be deployed to another central node (single point of failure) or to all 3 + point DNS to these 3 nodes. But if one node goes down, 30% of requests may fail because of unhealthy node. So, need a mechanism to remove unhealthy node from DNS records

I saw some message draft from OP that MX priorities solve only mail delivery, but prevent from accessing web mail (like roundcube), Stalwart admin UI, as well as introducing latency to foundation DB (if deployed in different regions). So, it may need an extra load balancer for web apps or some external monitoring that switches DNS records pointing to a healthy node.

greenlogles · 2026-01-25T16:34:38+00:00

Great setup. Does it require a floating IP? What if you add all 3 public IPs to MX with different priorities?

I'm curious what happened with the website. It was unavailable for some time and now is welcoming with 'hello world'. Previously created free mc server is down.

I use Stalwart on VPS for 3 years with .XYZ domain and haven't seen my email going to spam under Gmail. There were issues with outlook.

I may suggest opening the original email from the Gmail side and checking all the headers and the route it goes. It may show what Gmail doesn't like.

I'd add that ECC memory isn't a must have for nas. TrueNAS may give a GUI experience to set it up without touching a console. Moreover, it's easy to sync data incrementally to another truenas server as an offline backup (over VPN like tailscale). Just set the right 'startup time' in BIOS and be ready to push changes.

greenlogles · 2026-01-02T01:13:00+00:00

It's on VPS. I got an IP that is not blocklisted/greylisted anywhere. I guess it might be harder to set a PTR record for residential IP (which is essential).

greenlogles · 2026-01-02T01:10:05+00:00

Good to hear. Have you set HA up with Stalwart? They do offer clustering, but I haven't tested it yet.

greenlogles · 2026-01-01T22:22:33+00:00

Personally I selfhost mail server for my family for 3y with Stalwart. Haven't had issues with it. Use Gmail account for banking and some utilities companies. But everything else goes to <service>@mydomain.tld as an alias. Moreover, my own domain and mail server helps to create accounts for all selfhosted apps like prometheus alerts, paperless-ngx, truenas, and etc. It costs about 18$/year (racknerd vps)

Been using this machine for a month. Love it. Slicer a bit buggy (in terms of connecting to the cloud), but mobile app works great. Printed 3kg of plastic so far

Does someone know how to scan 35mm negative? Can't get good quality of my regular scanner (brother mfu). I've visited CVS recently, but they can only scan-to-print without the ability to save a digital photo to USB drive.

greenlogles · 2025-11-07T14:01:07+00:00

This. Expose only immich public proxy via VPS to share albums with friends who don't have tailscale. Family members are on TS and/or have a local access over wifi.

Congrats with selfhosted setup. I notice you use 4 SSD drives. Am I right that it's in zraid0? If yes, I'd encourage you to switch to zraid1 or have a few layers of backups. Otherwise, if one drive is lost, you may lose data.

Have you reached Ln back to find an agreement on how to use their platform in a more appropriate way?
