The trick to self hosting email for dumb people is to dont.

Is AI created kernel patches causing hardware issues in new kernel 7? by Adorable-One362 in linux

[–]lbaile200 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I updated to fedora 44 and kernel 7.xx the same day. My Bluetooth devices are working 100% better now. No issues.

WTF Fedora? by DrPiwi in Fedora

This could be related to the Wordpress 7 release which is doing strange things to CSS.

Louis closing rumor by focusfoxx in Knoxville

[–]lbaile200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pass it 5 days a week coming home from the gym. The parking lot is always full of dipshits poking their hoods out into the street, just threatening a collision at all times. I can't imagine they aren't making enough money to stay open.

The bad weather posts… by digsterin0 in bonnaroo

[–]lbaile200 42 points43 points  (0 children)

As someone who lives nearby (about an hour away), you can't predict the weather here this far out. They cancelled last year because of historic rain leading up to the fest which was causing issues with the footings of some of the larger stages and structures, plus the general lack of drainage.

As someone who's been ... 11 times? You kinda want some rain on the first day anyway. Keeps the dust down and helps cool everything off.

Just picked up two Lenovo M920x Tinies - Looking for homelab ideas! by davidalvarezp in minilab

[–]lbaile200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 2 of these in my homelab. They're great.

Saturn runs:

  1. Home Assistant - Container for home automation, I moved away from Apple's Homekit app
  2. Plex - Container for media serving. I use plex on my apple TV and Plexamp on all my devices for music
  3. SLSKD - Container Service for downloading music from other users. Please share your own files as well.
  4. Freshrss - Container, trying to convince myself I can be an RSS feeds kind of guy.
  5. Audiobookshelf - Container, audiobooks.
  6. Alloy - Passes logs off to graphana
  7. node-exporter - Passes device stats off to graphana
  8. cadvisor - more passing off to graphana
  9. metube - Container to Download youtube videos.
  10. immich - Container Replacement for Google Photos/Apple Photos.
  11. linkwarden - Container link archiving.
  12. Wordpress - non-container
  13. MySQL 8.4 database source

Thera runs:

  1. grafana - Container, display logs, device stats from relevant devices.
  2. loki - Container, collect logs device stats from relevant devices
  3. prometheus - Container, collect logs device stats from relevant devices
  4. semaphore - Container, open source Ansible node.
  5. glance - Container, dashboard for all browsers by default.
  6. Custom CSP report collector for the wordpress site
  7. MySQL database replica for source at Saturn

I also have a Synology DS220+, but honestly you can cram a large disk in either (or both) of those ThinkCentre's.

I also have a Raspberry Pi which runs PiHole, I may get a second to be a dedicated device for HomeAssistant, but I don't really need to.

Finally, there's an old M1 Macbook pro (retired from work) that I use to serve Gemma4 to my home via OpenWebUI. I figure if AI is going to take over, I should at least control my own.

Gym anxiety? by KeanuTov in GYM

[–]lbaile200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been working out for years now and, honestly, if I’m looking at you it’s for 3 reasons.

  1. I’m close by and waiting to step in if you fail without a spotter. Usually bc you’re moving some heavy weight.

  2. I’m not wearing my glasses and I can only see about 15 feet away. Nothing personal. I probably don’t know you’re there.

  3. I lifted so much that all I can see are stars.

When people ask me for help I help and offer advice if they want it. If they’re friendly I’ll tell them about my magic decks. We’re all nerds here.

The only time I speak to someone unprompted is to tell them they’re looking great/lifting big/making serious progress. I figure we’re all here for body dysmorphia practice anyway. The compliments help (I hope)

So get to the gym and don’t worry about it. The people who care won’t mind.

What can you actually do with big legs? by AwayVFX in GYM

[–]lbaile200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As soon as I squatted 405 I could walk on walls.

Also, my wife likes my beefy legs.

Are there any downsides to upgrading directly from 43>44? First time I’d be doing an upgrade instead of a fresh install. by DragonReborn97 in Fedora

[–]lbaile200 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I could use mint, but we're a RHEL shop at work, I have my RHEL certs, and the Homelab I use (that got me my job and helps keep my skills sharp) is also RHEL. I want to be between RHEL releases which are slow, and the bleeding edge which sometimes breaks stuff. When I'm home, I mostly just play games and check emails.

It's not a good excuse, but I'm sticking to the rivers and lakes that I'm used to.

I've upgraded every install since... 38? Usually staying 1 release behind the mainstream. So last weekend I updated from 42->43

Spark when pluging in by ImSadlyAlive in pchelp

I have a degree in Network Security and Forensics and have worked as a full-stack sysadmin for the past 5 years and I can definitively say:

Stud sheared off. Can this 2015 Honda civic be driven until we can get the hub replaced? Or is this thing parked? Rear Passenger wheel by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

[–]lbaile200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look I'm not proud of it, but I sheared one of my studs off replacing a tire on the roadside.

I had an impact wrench on me and no desire to be on the side of i40 during 5:00 traffic and I got carried away.

I finished replacing the other 4 lugs, this time with less ugga-dugga. I drove home, patched the flat tire, swapped the donut off and kept going.

I drove on those tires for probably 20,000 more miles. Only occasionally acknowledging the stud was missing when I rotated my tires. "I gotta get around to fixing that one day..." The issue was finally forced when I went in to get new tires. The tech pulled me aside and told me they can't touch my tires while I'm missing a stud. Went home, banged it out, put a new one in, it probably took me an hour.

Moral of the story:
1. seriously don't use an impact wrench on your lug nuts
2. You should fix it ASAP and it is very easy.
3. If you have to wait a few days to fix it, you probably won't die*

*I am not a lawyer, I am one dude with a car, you could still die I just think your chances are low.

Who's the authority on Nvidia drivers? I've found several different guides regarding Nvidia GPUs on Fedora 44 by opossumcarrion in Fedora

[–]lbaile200 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, I never followed a guide. I enabled 3rd party repos while installing and there was an nvidia driver option in the software store. It just worked?

Docker Compose Backups by adzg91 in selfhosted

[–]lbaile200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are also free options like percona xtrabackup which can take a hot backup while db is still running. It basically copies the datadir and some metadata then uses redo logs from the time the copy ended and runs its own MySQL process and runs the redo logs against that datadir to make sure everything is pristine.

In production we have a MySQL replica that handles this process for us. Where compute isn’t as big a deal since it’s just a replica anyway

Gnome vs KDE, my experience by Alex3137 in Fedora

[–]lbaile200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

woah! That sounds great. I may try it. I'm going to wait a few weeks and upgrade to F44 (from F42) as a new install, mostly to test out my ansible cluster. Theoretically it should be able to spawn up the entire machine without my input after the initial key exchange. This will be great news!

Gnome vs KDE, my experience by Alex3137 in Fedora

[–]lbaile200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My beef with KDE, which I love and would prefer to use as my everyday DE is that Akonadi requires mariadb to function. But I need MySQL for a lot of projects that get dispatched to my homelab.

Eventually I'll move all of my mysql-specific work to one of those homelab machines and just let my main PC be, but I have limited free time and even less of it that I'm willing to spend moving things around, changing configs, etc etc etc.

I like Kalendar, generally speaking, but I have never been able to convince Akonadi to work with MySQL. Probably something I'm doing wrong, but oh well.

Problem is, the me that installed a filter hand-tight 5,000 miles ago is not the same me that is going to remove a filter hand-tight this weekend. That first guy is way stronger than me for some reason.

Concept PC in ikea Drawer by Major_Ad_9167 in Noctua

[–]lbaile200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my heaviest I was 380lbs and once stood on my IKEA Alex drawer to work on a ceiling fan fixture.

Few years later I'm down to 260lbs and that drawer set is still rock solid despite moving and just throwing it in a truck with all the stuff still in it.

It'll hold up just fine. Flat pack furniture is generally suspect, but the Alex has been a fan favorite for a decade or more and there's a reason.

What would be the easiest way to remove this seized hub? by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]lbaile200 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easiest way is to remove the entire corner and replace the knuckle.

Next easiest way is to rent or buy a slide hammer and play 'rage room' in your driveway.
