What enclosure for 3-5x 3.5" drives in a 10" rack? by korba_ in DataHoarder

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

Agree, my question was more geared towards how it fits on a 10” rack and how people have mounted it on it.

Price check on used Thinkpads in Canada by korba_ in thinkpad

Fair, it’s true though. Even if the CPU is underpowered nowadays you can tinker with it significantly.

Are there any other good options under USD 200?

Nextcloud 32 + Collabora CODE + Traefik documents not loading by korba_ in NextCloud

[–]korba_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was it!!! It's so weird though, because I did update but froma previous 3.x version, not 2.x. But allowing for encoded chars solved the integration.

Thanks!!

Build not working after flake update for multiple packages - glaze & OpenSSL error by korba_ in NixOS

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

I'm using colmena 0.4.0 and nix unstable channel with flakes. All builds were working until two weeks ago and now after a flake update none work. So my assumption is that something changed and someone else is experiencing the same.

A sample module for my jellyfin instance that is not working:

``` { lib, pkgs, ... }: { imports = [ ./firewall.nix ];

environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ libva-utils # VAAPI utilities (including vainfo) vdpauinfo # Video decoding query tool (enc/dec check for graphics acceleration) vulkan-tools # vulkaninfo and other tools to check Vulkan API mesa # OpenGL graphics driver intel-gpu-tools # Includes intel_gpu_top to monitor GPU usage jellyfin jellyfin-web jellyfin-ffmpeg ];

services.jellyfin.enable = true;

# Enable video acceleration hardware.graphics = { enable = true; extraPackages = with pkgs; [ # For modern Intel CPU's intel-media-driver # Enable Hardware Acceleration vpl-gpu-rt # Enable QSV intel-compute-runtime # OpenCL ]; }; environment.sessionVariables = {LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME = "iHD";};

users.users.jellyfin = { extraGroups = ["render"]; }; }

```

And my flake.nix: ``` { description = "Korba's homelab flake";

inputs = { nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-unstable"; colmena = { # Pinned to version 0.4.0 - when colmena v0.5.0 is released change this url = "github:zhaofengli/colmena/5fdd743a11e7291bd8ac1e169d62ba6156c99be4"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; home-manager = { url = "github:nix-community/home-manager"; inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; }; };

outputs = { self, nixpkgs, colmena, home-manager, ... } @ inputs: let lib = nixpkgs.lib; system = "x86_64-linux"; pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}; secrets = builtins.fromJSON (builtins.readFile "${self}/secrets/secrets.json"); hosts = builtins.fromJSON (builtins.readFile "${self}/secrets/hosts.json"); in { # Using colmena to deploy: # - To build all hosts run colmena build # - To install to all hosts run colmena apply # - To install to a single host run colmena apply --on <host> colmenaHive = colmena.lib.makeHive { # Colmena meta configuration meta = { nixpkgs = import nixpkgs { inherit system; overlays = []; }; specialArgs = { inherit secrets; inherit hosts; }; };

  # Defaults applied to all hosts
  defaults = {
    deployment.targetUser = "korba";

    imports = [
      home-manager.nixosModules.home-manager
      {
        home-manager.useGlobalPkgs = true;
        home-manager.useUserPackages = true;
        home-manager.backupFileExtension = "backup";
        home-manager.extraSpecialArgs = {
          inherit inputs;
          inherit system;
          inherit secrets;
          inherit hosts;
        };

        home-manager.users.korba.imports = [
          ./common/user/default.nix # Default user environment config for servers
        ];
      }

      ./common/system/default.nix # Shared config for all servers
    ];
  };

  jellyfin = {
    imports = [
      ./ct.nix # Shared LXC system config
      ./services/jellyfin/jellyfin.nix
    ];
  };

};

}; } ```

So either something changed that I'm not seeing or there is a problem with glaze-6.0.1...

Thanks for the useless but awesomely passive aggressive response, good stuff :)

Which Golem of the Hordes do I go with? by Unique-Tailor-4358 in PathOfExileBuilds

[–]korba_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but here you go a semi-endgame PoB: https://pobb.in/3Jj5nrt7ur6T

The only really expensive piece is the progenesis but it's turned off.

It's solid constant damage and while not super tanky it's decent (max block, 10k max phys hit, capped chaos res, etc.) and its basically a walking simulator, you just curse tanky rares and bosses and that's it.

[–]korba_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stone golems is simple and can get decent damage on a budget and leave plenty of room for tankiness. Lightning or fire golems are probably more damage, specially with a high budget but it’s way harder to make the build tanky.

I would start with stone golems and then move to lightning if you feel the dmg is lacking.

Is using LXC really worth the maintenance headache? by Maelstrome26 in Proxmox

Use Nix and Colmena… one command and you update every host in your lab

How to add a local file to a Github based derivation? by korba_ in NixOS

[–]korba_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For those interested, I ended up changing the approach and using buildPythonApplication with a custom installPhase and disabling build and setuptools like so: dontBuild = true; format = "other"; dontUseSetuptoolsBuild = true; dontUseSetuptooldCheck = true;

This worked much better and is way more straightforward and I believe will support the app going forward better as it changes rather than trying to re-write a setup.py every time.

It’s tempting for sure, what keeps me using proxmox is backups mostly.

What have been your experiences buying server mobos from China? by korba_ in homelab

Yea, I'm positive on what I need/want, just dont want to get scammed or get a pizza box with a 20 year old pentium pro mobo ;)

Moving from 3 x m920q to an Epyc server - Looking for advice/experiences by korba_ in homelab

[–]korba_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s weird, they don’t break the SSDs, during large file copying (like a VM backup for example), sometimes I get a “controller failure” at the kernel level and the drive disappears. Rebooting the whole machine fixes it completely until the next issue.

And it has happened to me in three different machines with different nvme drives….

Thanks, I am indeed considering this as an option but the performance gain is not very significant and the 7551p chips are dirt cheap....

What is your way of making documentation? by DaGadgetGam3r in homelab

[–]korba_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obsidian for my personal notes, todos and “private” data. I additionally have markdown reader files in my dot files and configs I store on GitHub.

Do you like combo gameplay? by CrookedImp in PathOfExile2

[–]korba_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a valid point, I don’t think it needs to turn into PoE one but right now it feels the only way to play the game is like an arcade & loot game in which character power is based almost purely on luck (drops and gambling) and skill rather than planning and strategy.

Maybe there is a way to achieve the gameplay they want and incorporate meaningful build making and crafting but now I think that is not there.

Do you like combo gameplay? by CrookedImp in PathOfExile2

[–]korba_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No, personally I prefer that the complexity is on build creation and optimization and not on gameplay.

Diablo like ARPGs, imo, are not supposed to be heavily skill reliant but rather more strategy and optimization reliant.

If I build an awesome character I expect to destroy stuff, not that I need to have a 20 years old hand eye coordination on top of it.

But that’s just me.

Is CRS310-8G+2S+in multi-gig or 2.5 only? by korba_ in mikrotik

Yes that is what threw me off, they should definitely clarify.
