Tap water is rarely pumped from rivers. Most of the time it’s pumped from groundwater.

Awesome! I need to hurry to create a pixel art for the Synthwave community!

Ok, thank you for the info. I will probably stick to Android TV for now then.

I didn’t know about this device. This looks very interesting. I need to check how’s playback from Jellyfin in Kodi nowadays.

Which one is Neutral Evil ?

It’s a pub, it’s safe !

Like me Ethernet switch with 3 ports on the front and 1 on the side, if only my cable didn’t melt.

What do you mean by “Solokeys will work” ? I use Solokeys to authenticat on Firefox for years. Or do you mean another use-case ?

Cool, I can ditch Chromium for ESPHome

Assuming 5.5% interest (low end of rates right now) and a 25 year amortization

Where is that ? That seems crazy high to me. I bought last year in Germany, at a “bad time” and my interest rate is 3.4% fixed for 10 years.

Be careful before uploading your config files to a public location like GitHub, you don’t want to inadvertently publish some secrets like passwords, API keys and such. A copy to an external drive should do the trick just fine as a starting point.

Additional stuff you may be interested in:

Caddy for reverse proxy (accessing your services with a nice URL instead of IP address and port numbers)

PiHole for DNS-level ad-blocking and other useful router functionality

Look for a backup solutions for your config files, maybe you can handle this at Proxmox level but I don’t have experience with that.

Do you have a good alternative to recommend? I also found that lidarr sorta sucks compared to sonarr and radarr

• what you use for your documentation

Markdown files

• how you organize it

What ?

• what information you include

The commands that worked and the stuff that didn’t work and the links to the source of information

• how you work documentation into your changes

I write as I go. I keep it as part of a git repository when relevant

BTRFS has plenty of features for data integrity, auto-correction, scrubbing, snapshots. I haven’t studied in details the differences with ZFS, I just went with BTRFS because the setup is fairly simple, it’s flexible and it does what I need.

Personally, I use BTRFS in RAID10 config. I don’t need crazy performance and my NAS is pretty low power with only 8GB of RAM (use to be 4GB on my previous setup).

Nothing wrong with wanting a web interface, but for an experienced Linux user, there is no issue going without one.

Plain, good old Debian. It’s not that big of a deal to do all the config in console via SSH. You do it once and you’re done, so is the web interface that important?

Hi! I recently started with home automation myself. Despite already having a home server, I decided to get a dedicated Raspberry Pi 5 4GB to run home assistant by itself. OpenHAB should work just as well on the RPi5.

I’ve got Zigbee and Matter over Thread connectivity using 2x Aeotec Zi-Stick dongles, one flashed with OpenThread firmware, instructions on their forum. It was not the best solution to use the same dongle for both protocols as it’s recognized with the same device name in Home Assistant and I had to use my Linux skills to work around that. You can easily get 2 zigbee dongles from different brands, check ahead which ones provide an easy OpenThread flashing solution. I think the Sonoff dongle is another one of these.
