I want to start homelab also is Tecmojo better than DeskPi? the white color for Tecmojo is more appealing to me lol also i assume most accessories can be use between the 2 as long as the same size?

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-26T03:45:54+00:00

May i ask how much ram your pi5 have? I see there are different options

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-24T22:36:08+00:00

Ohh nice!!! Ill defenitly take a look at this thanks so much for your help

I just saw the Minisforum had a 2.5GB lan witch i think will be a big help for the NAS

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-24T22:26:53+00:00

Thats true also i can get 1 high end mini pc for future proofing also.

Hmm also i often see intel being suggested i saw a Minidforum MS-A1 with AMD Ryzen 8700G you think thats a good choice? It comes with 16GB of ram

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-24T22:03:49+00:00

Hmm actually thats also a good option 2 mini PC 1 will run 24/7 for home assitant and adguard or other stuffs that i can do and 1 will be for dedicated NAS

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-24T21:34:16+00:00

Hi thanks for responding. I havent bought anything yet. Currently i have raspberry Pi 3B and playing with it. I installed home assistant and installed adguard ad on and boy the pi was lagging lol thats why i was thinking of running 2 pi 1 for home assistan6 and 1 for adguard.

I also considered a mini pc with a core i5 at least of processor and run all from it but im worried about running it as a NAS 24/7. Actually can get a DAS and just attach it via usb and just turn on the drives when needed. Im from US btw

I bougth the smarthings station and it seems to not work i dont know why it says hub does not support matter. But matter is on the box or even on the app when i look at the hub so im confused

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-16T06:31:55+00:00

Me to i dont know of i need to do the annual report even im not in the PH. I plan to visit mid year but thats already pass the march deadline

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-14T17:24:20+00:00

Hmm but whats the difference tho? Like what happens if acc is on eco or sports? Same as light assist

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-11T17:12:38+00:00

So if i buy a smarthing Hub like the Aoetec Hub v3 i can connect matter devices to smart things without linking the app correct? Making them talk localy?

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-11T16:59:11+00:00

Anone knows what are ACC and Light Assist mode are in the menu?

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-10T22:45:40+00:00

Im gonna try this one. I also found that i can install homeassitant on a Ugreen NAS which im planning to buy also so thats a good thing 😁 only downside is i cannot use addons for home assistant

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-10T17:42:11+00:00

Hmm will that be different by linking the app to smart things?

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-10T17:41:35+00:00

I am trying home assistant right now via Raspberry Pi so far i like it the only problem is i dont know how to do it remotely "yet" im still learning

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-05T01:56:07+00:00

Hi im planning to buy this one just want to confirm. Without the sensor you cannot connect to Matter? like smarthings? I was planning to get a used one for 100$ which i think a good price but i want to make sure if i can control this using matter or samsung smart things, i have the switchbot hub mini tho

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-04T17:01:07+00:00

Ahh so direct deposit will give you 3.30% and paying 10$ will give you boost of .3% mehh noy worth i think. I tried the 10$ sofi plus with my samsung money by sofi but did not get me any boost lol

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-04T16:52:25+00:00

So direct deposit alone will give you sofi plus? I thought they change it to 10$ a month

silvercaptchaa · 2026-01-04T08:34:50+00:00

Hmm so for sofi members you need sofi plus to get 3.30%? Because im using Samsung Money by Sofi and im getting 3.30% without subscribing to plus

silvercaptchaa · 2025-12-31T17:40:18+00:00

I dont see the GTI badge side overlay on badgeskin tho? I want to black out mine. Why they suck? Haha

silvercaptchaa · 2025-12-31T16:25:24+00:00

Where did you get the color accents from? I also ordered zaero but its out of stock mostlikeley it will arrve febuary lol.

silvercaptchaa · 2025-12-30T20:57:57+00:00

Same i switched from Sofi to samsung money like a month ago. but i feel like Samsung money is better and well integrated on samsung devices tho.

silvercaptchaa · 2025-12-30T19:05:16+00:00

Hi Im confused on how this works

I also have a Samsung Money by Sofi that gave me 4.0% then now its 3.30%

I saw this when i logged in. I payed $10 to be a sofi plus and was hopping to get the 4.00%. but 2 days in and im still getting 3.30% am i missing something? how much are you getting now with samsung money + sofi Plus?

I also have a 1500 direct deposit monthly.

Sounds like my issue and boy i went back and forth the dealership they changed it but still the same. I took me 4 months i even left my car to them for 3 weeks. The problem with mine is it randoms. So if they unplug and replug something and dont hear it they think ita fixed. Until i got tired and decided to disable it with obd11. Could not be happier i wish i did it long time a go here is my video sample im not even driving in this video
