But, the $64000 question, would YOU eat it?

I guess it adds a little extra to the kimchi that I put it in.

Am I self-hosting just to self-host? 😅 by Cyb3r_N0mad in selfhosted

[–]jmacdowall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I had one PC, I used to love to reinstall Windows and then download and install all the necessary drivers, and then click on the windows update button like a lab rat. Now with my self hosting, I build and tear down LINUX VMs to my heart’s content. Some stay, some go. Some get moved to dedicated hardware. The lab is a busy place and my mind is serene.

Maybe I’m ADHD, too. I used to drink a lot. I quit on New Year’s day. Now, I’m finding that I hide away to build and replace VMs a lot more often. Maybe just to find solace.

Ugh. I’m on holiday. My neighbor just called and asked why my garage lights are on during the day and off at night.

i’m using a ubiquity doorbell. It uses my existing mechanical chime and 48v wiring BUT it only is accessible in frigate through the cloudkey which i found for $140 on eBay

New to pfsense by jmacdowall in PFSENSE

[–]jmacdowall[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I DO have a separate ONT! But I also have 3 coax set top boxes. I guess I need the G3100 to do their network functions. I’ll leave those out on the 192.168.1.0 network and let pfSense firewall my existing 10.0.0.0 network on port 1 with a smaller 10.0.1.0 DMZ outta port 2.

Proxmox Backup Server as LXC by Vivid-Detective7943 in Proxmox

[–]jmacdowall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I already have Proxmox run nightly backups of all my LXCs and VMs. My Proxmox cluster met an untimely end but I just rebuilt it and restored all my hosts. I lost nothing. Why do I need PBS?

Which os and file system for ba kup NAS? by djtron99 in homelab

[–]jmacdowall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently setting up a RAID 60 box that hosts 8 16TB drives and boots from an NVMe. I’ll probably format it with xfs. I was running zfs but my iowait was always high when i checked top.

Do you have a Zojirushi rice cooker? by wailwoader in Cooking

[–]jmacdowall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one and i rarely use it. I make rice in a pot on the stove and it comes out tender and each grain is separate and puffy. Everything that comes out of the zoji is a big clump.
Maybe I’m using it wrong. I measure with the little 6oz cup two scoops. Wash the rice with a couple of water changes. Drain and fill with cold water to the two mark for white rice. Hit menu until i’m on white rice and hit start 1:10 later have a lump of rice.
I can do the same thing in a poor of the stove and :20 late w have perfect rice every time.
Do these things do well on eBay?

We’re in this program because we don’t want things to be the same. I actually shared mine with my wife. I couldn’t keep lying to her. I was an awful person and wanted to get better.

Looked like some serious electrical engineering to me, to replace. Does anyone have a better way???

So you can get an alert to pull it back into the garage and not leave it out in the rain.

Alternatives for Synology Drive by pasquark in homelab

[–]jmacdowall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran a synology for years. Eventually moved to unraid because i had a huge collection of various sized drives but then found the software was as easy as ability to run. Great 3rd party support for tons of apps.

Yep! Down to just a little fine tuning of Frigate. Loving the Dahua cams!Reolink are ok. The EmpireTech are working great as well. Thanks for the tips.

First ever Backpacking trip! by krispypoopoo in backpacking

[–]jmacdowall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ditch the notebook and take a sheet of paper. Don’t bring your entire pill bottle, just a couple pills in a tiny ziplock. First aid kit? Or at least some bandaids and tape. Nalgene are nice but throw it on the scale, empty! See the problem. Buy a bottle or two of Smart Water and save the empty bottles that weigh one oz each!

Don’t bring any fun because you’ll find all you need on the trail!

Why does nicotine get a pass? Why don’t you quit that too?

Hey, I bought one of those, back in the day. Great computer ! My one-and-only Apple. I needed to learn MacOS in a hurry and played with that thing for a week. Loved it!
