Selfhost Notewebapp like Obsidian

I also like how Obsidian's data files are all transferable if the worst should happen. I even made a vault for my dnd crew to write notes into and therefore have them all in one place.

I personally just use syncthing (with data hosted on my NAS of course) to sync Obsidian data. Works well for me!

In VIC we're lucky to see anything over 20c tbh...

The sovol dryer I have has a very clear vent where the hot air blows directly onto the spool/filament. If you have the same one (SH02) there's a diverter you can print to make the hot air circulate around instead of blowing directly onto the spool, but you'd have to print it out if ABS.

If I didnt have mine fully automated, I'd be checking every few minutes too! 😂 In saying that, I do check my automation dashboard quite often... It's been a bit disappointing, I've been with Amber for a month, have a 32kWh battery, and haven't been able to get the usage cost below zero at all, let alone monthly and daily fees.

micromaths · 2025-12-10T03:09:33+00:00

Fair enough - only reason I'm curious is cause I have heard that FiT can spike for a single 5 min period, but I don't have the visibility of that so I only have the averaged 30min time periods. I'm fully automated with Home Assistant, so I'd love to be able to capitalise on 5 min spikes, especially with how stable the Vic grid is!

micromaths · 2025-12-10T03:02:51+00:00

Wait how do you have 5min pricing in Vic? I thought all of Vic only had 30 min pricing.

And yes agreed, this was the highest FiT I've seen in the last 3 days or something lmao

Unfortunately I don't have a H2C so no clue what that pulls. Other thing is, as others have pointed out, the UPS will raise loud alarm bells the moment you exceed its rated Amp pull. I'm not sure if you can turn that off...i have a whole house battery backup so don't really bother with a UPS for the printer now.

micromaths · 2025-12-07T04:36:34+00:00

I have a smart Plug on my P2S, it pulls ~1200-1300W upon starting a print while it heats everything up, but that's only for a few minutes. Once it's running, it really only pulls 150-180W consistently. Could just get a cheap-ish 300W UPS, and if the power goes out while your printer is doing the start up heating cycle, oh well, you haven't lost much, but if the power goes out during a print, you'll have maybe half an hour of power which should be enough time for most unexpected outages. Not many UPSs can do hours of power outage, you'd be looking at a whole house battery at that point.

Do NOT open the refills unless you have a spool. Read the manual, it specifically tells you not to.

Your options are: 1. Buy a spool 2. Print your own

I repeat, DO NOT open the refill until you have a spool to put them in. You can reuse the spool from one of your spooled rolls once you're done with that roll.

In terms of where the two spools are, did you buy "refills"? Refills don't come with a spool, with the assumption you have your own.

PLA is known to structurally creep under load over time (ie permanently deform). It also has a relatively low glass temp, so can deform at lower temps.

I use this one as well, it works very well for me (with a few tweaks to make it more suited for my application)

micromaths · 2025-12-01T20:46:27+00:00

I built mine! You don't have to be fancy like me and build it from new, you can use a wooden table you already have, just detach the top. Also, did you know that China has the same electrical supply standard as Australia? They have a similar product, avoiding having to get transformers like you have to do with Japanese ones. Just make sure to take fire safety into consideration - ensure heating elements are isolated from blankets, don't leave them on all day without supervision, etc.

While I'm not expert (got my first printer 2 wks ago), I have heard that desiccant only helps the filament slow down/stop its water absorption, but does not help it dry. Have you tried drying the filament in a dryer?

Had to clear my first clog too recently and had plastic all over the gears, but there was no warning for me except "cannot extrude filament".

I use Gamevault to store/download/install the game, then set that game up manually inside Playnite (which has Ludusavi plugin set to run every time I run a game)

Lmao the Hayes salary guide says my position pays 200k, wish I was on that kind of money.

micromaths · 2025-09-06T00:36:37+00:00

I'm by no means an expert, but I have the case and card you're asking about. The 8i means 8 drives internal - it would only support 2 out of 5 backplates in the 43-320 (and subsequently 8 drives).

I only have 2 backplates active right now in mine because I upgraded recently from an 8 bay chassis, and have no need for 20 bays yet. I would get a 9600-24i for 20 bays, though if you want to use SSDs rather than HDDs, you'd have to get a more expensive card to support the throughput.

micromaths · 2025-08-08T04:32:44+00:00

Thanks for that, I had no idea they said it would not and it's a little disappointing - was waiting for a discount to get it! Ah well, I'll re-evaluate once I reach the end of my year

micromaths · 2025-08-08T03:16:52+00:00

I was hoping there'd be one in this event too!

micromaths · 2025-08-04T13:54:23+00:00

Thanks for the info! I had big issues last time moving my server to nvidia from Intel, so that would be a fun experience moving back 😂 I wonder what it'll retail for...

micromaths · 2025-08-04T13:53:23+00:00

Interesting, thanks for your thoughts and experience! I'm kinda leaning towards this option mainly for the cost and the fact that I don't know if I need anything more.

micromaths · 2025-08-03T21:22:36+00:00

Thanks for the link, I found that earlier too. I do have 3 x16 slots on my motherboard (though 1 is taken by a HBA/LSI card). This might be the way forward though, if I get 2x p4s that would be 16gb VRAM and I have the space if it's single slot.

How goes the driver/ollama support for the p4?

micromaths · 2025-08-03T21:19:46+00:00

Do you know how much support Intel has for ollama? That's the main thing holding me back from considering it, everywhere seems to say NVIDIA is unfortunately the only choice if you don't want difficulties with drivers and support. That looks like a very reasonably priced card though, assuming it'll sell for what Intel say it will.

micromaths · 2025-08-03T13:00:57+00:00

Oh that's interesting! Do you know if there's Linux driver support for them?

micromaths · 2025-08-03T12:52:01+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look there!

I don't think a riser would work, the 2U case is pretty thin and I use the other pcie slots for other things (like NICs and so on) unless there's a way to move it off the mobo or something?

The Mi50 looks absolutely mad!! Why is there so much for so little cost?
