TrueNAS Scale is still the one with zfs heavily integrated into the GUI. Shit like OpenMediaVault or Synology still just use regular raid or something with btrfs.

Unraid is the only other one I know of that implemented zfs into the GUI.

>>102883948
https://sonarr.mypublictld.com through a reverse proxy (that also adds another layer of authentication). I found using "subfolders" cumbersome because not everything played well with reverse proxying in that scenario and I had to do a lot of URL rewriting.

>>102883304
I have a computer with that same exact case sitting on a wire shelf just like that inside my closet. the ups is also on the bottom shelf. though instead of the middle shelf I have boxes of motherboards and a gpu stacked up taking space next to the ups. I'm paranoid that one day the top shelf will give out and the whole computer goes with it.

>>102884806
>https://sonarr.mypublictld.com through a reverse proxy
I'm either connected locally or via vpn so I have a direct connection over http, I thought about going the service.mydomain.com behind a reverse proxy route but it seems like it just adds that many more entrypoints into my system. Is it worth it?

Is there any good all-in-one DNS servers?
I need:
- Authoritative server for my domains with separate local and public zones (i.e. int.example.com should not be available from the outside)
- Recursive server for local network
- HTTP API to update records
- k8s external-dns support so it would be able to CRUD DNS records from ingresses/virtualservices/etc

I was using powerdns as auth server + coredns as "recursive server" (just forward one zone to powerdns and forward the rest of DNS requests to the public DNS).

>>102885205
Then, not necessarily.

I personally just like to use HTTPS, have trusted certificates and expose my stuff to the Internet because it's gated behind auth anyway. Internally I've used Unbound as a DNS resolver before and added overrides for the public DNS records so that, within my internal network, they resolve to the internal IPs directly, as so to avoid traffic passing pointlessly through the firewall and NAT hairpinning. And the reverse proxy itself was also helpful because I wanted to have a central, long-lasting log for web requests.

Is it ok to use an NTFS drive in proxmox/linux?
I have an SSD I was using as download cache for a different server, and it is currently plugged into my via USB-SATA adapter. I'm thinking of just putting it inside the case and scrapping the USB connection.

It is formatted as ntfs, which I understand is not ideal, but I don't really want to move everything off the drive, re-format, then move everything back on. Will being ntfs cause any problems down the line compared to ext4/xfs/btrfs? I'm mainly using it to store downloads and media.

With LXCs, how do you connect a reverse proxy in one container to a service in another container that you want to proxy?

I know in docker you have to create a custom network and make sure both the reverse proxy (like letsencrypt/swag) and the service (vaultwarden for example) are on the same network, effectively working as a bridge. If I have one lxc for something like caddy/traefik/proxy manager, how do I use it to proxy other LXCs on the same node? or even a different node? Or better yet, a VM.

Should I just stick to docker?

Not directly HSG.. I want to remotely control a fan based on a humidity sensor, but I would prefer something wireless and off the shelf. It is to automatically circulate air to a shower room until things are dry.. also in an apartment so no modifications allowed. Picrel would be a simple solution but would require running an extension cord.

I have access to electronics equipment at my job (we make electronics) so I can perhaps modify something, or make something that is doesn't look like DIYer maker shit.

The iGPU on N100's can decode AV1. Can confirm it works, I have an N100 minipc and I use it as a HTPC and it can decode 4k AV1 playback at 60fps with no issues.

Any AMD APU with VCN 3.0 support can decode AV1. Unfortunately, none of those are cheap. As the other anon mentioned, cheap Intel chips like the N100 work, as would mini pcs made with AMD's laptop chips from Ryzen 6000 on forward, but you can't cheaply build a low end one.

If you are insisting on building an HTPC, then it might be best to just buy an Arc A310 or A380, they make versions of that card that do not require a PSU connection, so even small HTPCs can usually fit it. This can give you more options on buying the rest of the hardware. That barely counts as "cheap" though.

you need internal to external SAS adapter. They come in standalone PCIe brackets, or even added to some existing ones.
For example, my ConnectX-3 additionally has 1x SFF-8087 to SFF-8644 adapter, which i then connect to my JBOD through SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 cable.

humidity sensors aren't great for short term extremes like a shower room, you can get extractor fans with humidity sensors but generally they are shit because they only measure humidity at the fan so it doesn't do a good job of drying the room. this will have a similar problem you will spend a while looking for a good spot to put the sensor to clean the majority of the damp out without it overrunning.
most of the time a bathroom fan comes on with the light and turns of after a time delay once the light is off.
maybe a simple PIR sensor for a security light, normally they turn on with activity and turn off after an adjustable time delay, should be significantly cheaper that humidity but check the switching capacity is suitable.

I want to build a gaming htpc for the family. Ideally, I'll have it work as a console while utilizing plex in the background. I was looking at Bazzite and the alternatives. However, I'm trying to figure out a way to make this work with everyone in my home. I have a lot of non steam games and I want everyone to have access to these games which is fine and easy. But my problem comes along when wanting to set up saves. Is there a way where everyone gets their own uniquie profile that allows them to access every game but have their own saves? I know I can switch between steam accounts without a problem, but I want everyone to be able to have access to their own saves for every game. Is this even possible with any of these linux gaming distros? Because if not I'll just stick with windows and have playnite launch on start up. But also with windows, is there a way where we can switch between user accounts with a controller? I'll be setting up synchthing for all individual accounts and everyones devices.

hello, do any of you know about running anonymous nodes on TOR? Specifically how one can control a cluster of nodes that are IP address blind to one another?

"All the servers within the network wouldn’t know the specific IP address of any of the other servers but still transparently communicated with them over the Tor network. We use a combination of technology for this to be possible. One is virtualization directly on each server for a specifically configured interface which tunnels all traffic over the host server Tor process. We build on top of this with a system for peer to peer VPN networking using Tor hostnames as the connection points. Then we transparently pass this VPN network directly to the VMs themselves. We configure the IP address for each main VM and they then transparently communicate not knowing anything about the setup or address. If Dread’s source got compromised, jail got broken, and root access granted on any of the main VMs any adversary will have even more difficulty finding any IP. The main VM’s outside connection is passed over a whonix like VM which allows only basic traffic and all that traffic is sent over the host’s Tor interface. Simply put there is no open or accessible IP for the main VM."

Thanks for the suggestion. Looks like there are off the shelf ones with wireless PIR sensor (definitely nicer) and remote switch. This one says 1/2 hour max time, this seems like a good starting point and clean.

About humidity yeah that could be tough to get right, especially since ambient humidity changes with weather. I thought about doing something with 2 arduinos, each with their own humidity sensor and turning the fan on to bring bathroom humidity to within 5% of ambient humidity.

Used containers plenty for work (building 'em, stuffing 'em in corporate registries, ECR/ECS nonsense in AWS), but I'm starting my journey of deploying it all locally on my rack. It's a lot more modular than I realized. I figure the first step is getting a registry set up, gonna put it on my NAS. What do you recommend?

did some more reading and yeah this seems like a really solid choice. but, i'm now having doubts about the best RAID setup. is going with 2 mirrored 12 TBs a bad idea? these are going in a NAS, and some of it is going to be backups of important data, and some is just shit i've torrented. some very vocal people are like "only tolerating 1 fault is not acceptable", but i'd have to go up to RAIDz2 and i've got an entire extra disk and even less capacity. I've only ever had one hard drive "go bad", ever. and in order to lose all my data with mirrored drives (or RAIDz1 (why choose one over the other?), i'd have to have both drives die, and my main computer's drive die.
that sounds like acceptable tolerance.

this is like, the first step in having proper backups. it makes me so anxious that i've got data on my hard drive that if i lost, it would be devastating.
these 2 12TBs will be my local NAS. i just want someone to be like "yes go for that".

I know how retarded that question is, but here we go...
is there a file system that:
- can be grown dynamically by simply adding new drives at any time
- drives don't need to be the same size or type (can be literal trash - old HDDs, sdcards, usb sticks, zip drives, wax-covered drums, folk oral tradition)
- has configurable redundancy and auto-healing
I understand it would be super slow, but I am looking at the pile of my old HDDs, and don't know what to do with them.
>inb4 shove them you your ass

>>102897978
Identify the data that you can't lose. Separate it from the other data that you can lose. Surely not all of the 12 TB is critical, you probably have less than 1 TB of core data documents photos etc. Find that data, put it in a separate folder in the file structure, then buy cloud hosting large enough to hold it.

Set up your mini-NAS with the 2x 12 TB drives, then set up a nightly job to encrypt this critical data and sync the encrypted file to the cloud. Make sure to keep the encryption key somewhere safe. (Or skip the encryption if you're okay with the cloud provider snooping your files.) Then also keep the data synced on your PC, and you now have 3 copies of this critical data one of which is safely stored offsite.

>>102902324
I really need to spend some time, and streamline my backup process. I tried some off-the-shelf solutions, like Duplicati, but I think I will just need to script it myself. copying files is one thing, but exporting registry keys, bookmarks, passwords and other program settings is something that can be easily overlooked.

Is the ST16000NM000J-2T (X18 EXOS 16TB) a good drive for a NAS?

I have two I bought used on amazon, and was considering buying 4 more for a raidz3 array. I'm not up to speed on which drives are good and bad nowadays. I know it used to be that Seagate 3TB platters in anything was asking for trouble, and WD would sneak in SMR drives into product lines without actually telling anyone.

>>102902719
>exporting registry keys, bookmarks, passwords and other program settings
Perhaps you could have windows do its backups to another drive in the same computer and then backup the archive windows made onto your nas? Letting windows handle all the windows-specific shit

the answer is maybe depending on your chipset. I have mismatched ECC and runs no problem.

It'll search for metadata from those sources in that order. Some sources suck more than others, so rearrange them if you think it can help, then rescan for metadata.
If you have the patience to, you can also search for a particular piece of media in each metadata source and then specify the one you want to use for that show. The details on how to do that are in the docs, I think you specify it in the filesystem.
Don't know about skins, I just use the default one.

Jellyfin is anal about its filename and folder structure scheme. If you don't have your stuff set up exactly as described in the docs, it will likely fail to fetch enything. Either rename your stuff, or set up separate directories with appropriately named hard- or symlinks. No simple way around this as far as I'm aware.

If it's getting the wrong metadata, you can manually identify the show by pointing it at a specific entry in the database. Still, that requires it recognises the show as a show, for example. If it consistently fetches the wrong info, you probably need to reconsider your metadata providers a la what the other anon said.

>*is the best home server in your path*
You literally don't need more than this if you want a home server. Any SFF PC with an 8th gen or newer CPU is perfect. SFF over Mini/Micro for the PCIe expansion slot, which can be used for a quad-NIC passed through to a router VM (pfSense, OpenWrt, IPFire, etc).

SFF PCs have much lower idle power consumption compared to any custom build, they're cheap to buy used on ebay, and can do just about everything one could possibly want from a HOME server, AKA a recreational, non-business server.

>b-b-but muh storage
SFF PCs have a 2.5" drive slot, a 3.5" drive slot and an M.2 storage slot on the motherboard. This is more than enough for most people, and if you really need more, you can just add USB-connected external storage.

>b-b-but muh raid
No. Not necessary for the home server. Redundancy is a business feature. A home server doesn't need redundancy, you are sacrificing storage for no good reason.
And no, you don't need striping performance either. Stop trying to larp as an enterprise. Gigabit speed is more than enough to stream any 4K HDR rip.

>>102908701
>muh raid
>Redundancy is
you were doing good and then you spilled your spaghetti. if any of the files on your server are important they need to be backed up for some degree of redundancy. if you cannot have a mirrored RAID at least back up to an external or somewhere. Agree that striping isn't needed for most home users.

thats quite a bit of stuff. are you sure you need to back up all of it? if you cannot make offsite or cloud backups maybe you can you mirror/backup the data to another device in your house, thats usually the best bet (and maybe keep the other device in a separate spot in the house).

mirrored RAID is cheap insurance on your home server, anons, look into it and make your own risk assessment. It's not about it being a backup mechanism it's about data redundancy. your files, your choice.

Hyperconverged storage is fine, as long as you have the required amount of nodes for it (2-3 minimum).

You'd need to setup ZFS over iSCSI on Proxmox VE, which requires the Proxmox VE node to have root SSH access to the TrueNAS node or cluster, *without* password protection on the SSH key located on Proxmox VE. Additionally, you'd need to configure iSCSI LUNs with TrueNAS.

I don't understand the benefits or threat model of that setup, versus using regular .onion URLs or public Tor relays. The operator still knows them, and firewalling any remote access (i.e., SSH) should be good enough.

>but, i'm now having doubts about the best RAID setup. is going with 2 mirrored 12 TBs a bad idea?

>>102900850
XY problem. Ask for a publicly reachable IP (ISPs in many countries must do this if you ask them), or get an IPv6 address. You'd likely violate several IT policies and security perimeters at work by doing that, especially without written permission.
And what when your work office is unavailable? Who owns the device at the workplace? If you do something funny on their network, what are the corporate lawyers going to think to resolve this with you, and wasting their time on your personal matters / abuse complaints?
If you still must, I'd much rather get colocation at a proper datacenter with a contract and setup a tunnel there.

skimmed over this argument and here's my opinion warranted or not.

this is all in the context of a home server not a business. exactly what I'd do at a real world job is different than what I'd do at home.

8th gen sff PCs can make good servers for home stuff but I would say even stuff like NUCs are fine.

I wouldn't run raid for redundancy on a home server for the OS, I agree. I would simply make sure I have a backed up image of the OS or at the very least the configuration files and make damn sure my installer works with them. Probably just a periodic snapshot of the drive would be enough to ensure I don't need to fuck around in the case of a failure.

For the storage part of a NAS I think single drive failure tolerance is an acceptable density loss. Raid isn't a backup, I understand, but for home use yeah it's kinda the next best thing. I am not paying to back up 100tb of bulk data such as rips and media. It simply isn't that important. Some of it may be worth backing up properly on a second drive or third location but for the majority of the data, a single copy on a raid array with one drive failure tolerance is probably fine. Saves the hassle of trying to clean up your spaghetti when one drive shits out, then perhaps backup your most critical files (medical, financial, perhaps some important pictures) properly. I'd argue that a lot of that stuff shouldn't be stored on a NAS that you're exposing to the internet via a service like Jellyfin anyway. For that type of stuff I'd just as soon leave it on my PC and just copy it to a hard drive once a year or so when it makes sense - Tax return time, new job, new insurance, etc.

Just my opinion for a home setup personally.

Is your "cable modem" doing network address translation (NAT) on the inside, to LAN? If so, what's in your "WAN" side is not part of the same LAN and may be filtered.

>The operator still knows them
What do you mean by this?

The operator (u/Paris) claims the nodes can't give away any other nodes' IPs in the cluster, but you're saying that's moot because Paris can still navigate and access all the nodes?

Also, I'm still trying to figure out how IPs are hidden between nodes. Is it because Tor can be run as a service, and it can link two servers together with a .onion URL? And once connected, you point to a local IP 192.168.1.23 interface to connect a peer to peer VPN?

>>102912370
The operator of the server knows where the NAT/VPN gateway is located, and the real public IP-addresses of those, most likely. An inside attacker may not be able to acertain it so easily.
The IP-addresses can be hidden with .onion hidden sites. As for the VPN, it might be some kind of SSL-VPN over .onion.

>>102912399
To clarify, I think he might be using torsocks / torify over a VPN or heck even an SSH tunnel to an .onion URL. I've done this before, I've made a local SOCKS5 proxy with torsocks to tunnel to an SSH server at home over Tor, without exposing the IP-address of the home network to a network adversary and to bypass firewall filtering.

I'm actually not entirely sure, actually, and I think I'd have to look that up. It's feeding signal from its WAN port to my OPNsense box (Dell Optiplex)'s main ethernet port, but I'm not sure it's ever actually connecting to the internet in anyway.

>Draw a better network diagram.
Here, kinda hasty but here's my basic network. For the purpose of simplicity please just refer to the modem and OPNsense box configuration. The business with the switch and access point will come later, hence why they say (offline). For now I just need to make sure I can get into my OPNsense box's webGUI somehow.

I also read online:
>By default OPNsense assigns the LAN port to the first Ethernet port, and the WAN port to the second Ethernet port

So if I understand, isn't my "first" Ethernet port, the one on my Dell's mobo, not the NIC, the first one? If so, doesn't that mean I have to unplug the connection between my modem and my Dell Optiplex?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm kinda new to networking but I'm really learning a lot.

Plug your OPNsense box into your cable modem's LAN port, if applicable. It's downstream of your cable modem and Internet access, anyway, not upstream of it. On your OPNsense box, plug the Ethernet cable from your cable modem to OPNsense's WAN port.

Gotcha. I'll give this a try.
>Plug your OPNsense box into your cable modem's LAN port, if applicable
Sadly my modem has one Ethernet port, which I keep plugging into my OPNsense box's Ethernet port, not the NIC I installed on it (port 1)

Also, did some reading of the docs again:
>By default, LAN is assigned to port 0 and WAN is assigned to port 1.
https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/interfaces.html
Port 1 would be the port that my modem is plugged into on my OPNsense box I believe. So I have a modem plugged into a LAN port, not a WAN port.

I THINK this is my issue, actually. I keep plugging my modem into what the system identifies as my LAN port.

>>102912644
Sorry, fuck I'm retarded.

My OPNsense box's ethernet port (built into the mobo) is port 0, hence LAN. I keep plugging my modem into my LAN port (port 0), and not my WAN (port 1). I think that's my issue.

And sorry, I should've clarified. This establishes traffic forwarding so my connections via the proxy appear to come from my home network to the end-site.

>>102913602
Any SOCKS5 traffic to localhost port 50022 would get forwarded to the remote host over SSH.
torsocks connects to 127.0.0.1 port 9050 and wraps the incoming traffic around SOCKS5, to make all Internet communication through it go through the Tor network.

-N is to not execute remote commands on the SSH server, just forward traffic.
-f is to fork to a background process, so you don't have to keep the terminal session open and Ctrl+C to stop it.

It's just regular SSH and SSH auth from there. Not all software may play nicely with SOCKS however (namely Tor doesn't really carry UDP traffic well, only certain DNS traffic), you'll have to experiment.

>>102913753
10" racks are not server racks, they're telecommunication or AV racks with short depth. And that's a cabinet/enclosure in your picture.

Started setting up scheduled tasks.
How often do you guys run a SMART test, long and short? From what I read weekly short tests and a monthly long test is good. But I'm wondering if you guys do it more frequently?

>>102913664
You literally add that configuration to your nginx conf files and restart the service. The anon made it as brain dead easy as can be for you.

He may be using Docker to run szurubooru. Dealing with Docker's networking (NAT) is another thing.

are there any dual-mitx rackmount cases around? id love to have 2 n100dc-itx in a 1u case for dual node proxmox hosts but not finding much about multi-node cases

Unfortunately that tool doesn’t have any LDAP support, so your suggestion for user authentication is all he gets. They do have token authorization, but I doubt if the guy struggled with nginx, he’s going to know how to setup something like Keycloak backed by an LDAP server.

I wanted to follow up on this:

I was able to configure the interfaces in the installer and connect to the webGUI via LAN. I tried setting my router to AP/bridge mode and plugging it into a port but on my OPNsense box, but I'm a little unsure as to where to head to configure the WAN with an SSID, password, etc. But I THINK i'm on the right track.

sure, i use gentoo on all my devices, my server included.
If you're used to it (or want to try it out and learn along), go for it. Distros don't matter that much, aside from software availability in repos, which will generally be worse on Debian i believe.

I use Void btw

Mirrored RAID is cheap insurance against a disk failure. If you worry about fire/flood/tornado/hurricane/invasion of loli zombies then you can create a more robust backup strategy.

Is it better to have separate devices for different purposes inside of your network or is it better to have big server that runs multiple VMs?

>>102915579
docker only complicates things, i have no containers/vms and just run everything normally.

>>102915666
ime docker simplifies things

>>102915588
The latter. It's how the enterprises and the world runs. The prior is very traditional and inefficient.

>>102915588
Depends. You might want dedicated hardware for certain things, for purposes of performance, security, or availability. Really depends entirely on your requirements.

>>102915588
A little of both. The big question is how dependent is your system on the machine? If your system is very dependent on it (think a router, or your NAS) then it is best to have dedicated hardware. If your system is not very dependent on it, a VM will do just fine.

So I thought about building myself a server that would also replace my router, so I would run a proxmox with multiple VMs, pfsense, authoratie dns, nginx, vpn etc. However I wanted to start an I2P torrent sharing website as well, and I thought that maybe a separate device would be better for I2P router, I also have some old laptop as local Samba server for all my files

in linux mint 21, how do I convince the system it has a display without connecting a display? I'd like to stream videos from a headless system. Thanks for any advice. I don't know much about SSH yet

>>102916233
easiest (and most consistent) way is probably to buy a $3 EDID emulator from you favorite chinesium distributor

>>102916181
It makes a lot of sense to put some of those services on your router device. VPN and DNS especially. I personally wouldn't run them in VMs though. Most of them are simple enough services that baremetal is just fine, containers if you're really prissy.

I wouldn't run a webserver on my router, though.

ok boys this may be a stupid question and its definitely a stupid idea but:
ive been working on my homelab, the idea is to have everything in 1 desktop form factor box, which is retarded i know. currently i have my server (proxmox) and a pfsense router/firewall crammed into a single case. my router has 4 nics (1 wan 3 lan) and i do not use a switch. 1 lan to the proxmox box, 1 to my laptop that i manage everything from, and 1 for adding other devices as needed (currently just a ps3 that pulls its isos from a vm on the server lol).
my question is: can i configure vlans without a switch WITHOUT assigning a static ip at the device level? i really prefer to assign all my ips based on mac addr via pfsenses dhcp server.

I FUCKING HATE WINDOWS
It keeps deleting files from my NAS.
Holy shit.

>>102917233

>>102917233
absolute windows user moment

>>102917612
i have to use windows since a lot of the games i play require kernel-level anti-cheat
else i would have switched a long time ago

I've a dynamic IP address.
I can control DNS (static IP for DNS server), set a short TTL and update it dynamically. DNS would return the correct IP 98% of the time, with no longer downtimes than 10 minutes.

Can I run a reliable=enough email server this way?
Do email servers retry sending a few times?
It's for personal use ofc., no huge anounts of traffic or many accounts or other ppl's money on the line.

what's the benefit of virtualizing your router and making your network have a complicated single point of failure?

>>102885205
You still need a good split horizon DNS setup to have this be clean if you have any external (or just externally reachable) services though. To be honest, I never understood why people go through the trouble instead of having their internal DNS be authoritative for home.yourdomain.tld.

>>102897223
It's not, speaking from experience. You'll have to do more research about latest ways now, but you probably want shadowsocks, or to just go without. You're in a foreign country, I wouldn't go for it.

/hsg/ anons, I come with a disk that just started to get cksum errors in my zpool. Seeing as this is my first ever zfs/zpool, what do you usually do to rule out different things before considering replacing the drive?
I've changed the SATA cable, the power, and used zpool clear and various scrubs, but the issue persists.
I will say I haven't done any other sort of diagnostics for the disk to check input/output/power off events anything like that, if such diagnostics exist. What's funny is the SMART is still passing, but I know its just a self test and isn't going to be as accurate as ZFS telling me there's messed up data.

4chan ate my post but my response was:
Already ordered a new drive, but I'm going to check my PCIe 6 SATA port card. It could be the port is iffy on it. The entire reason I even have the card is one of the 6 ports on my motherboard died, leaving with me just 5.
I'll swap the drive back to the mobo onto one of the known good ports.

>>102885183
Don't be.

Almost all of the wire racks out there are rated for something like 200lbs per shelf.

But yeah, for real, maybe build yourself something out of 4x4s if you're paranoid.

Welp, I'm fucked. Swapped cables, took the disk off the PCIe and put it onto the motherboard, yet it still puts cksum errors out.

it's a samsung 870 evo. it's a 2.5" sata drive. there's no putting it back like new though, i put holes through the label to take the screws out. i got a new drive since then but it'd be nice to get the dead one replaced.

i wont have any issue with not being able to access it for a while. if i can't get to my torrents for a few days, no big deal. i probably would put an SSD in there if i need it, but really this is meant as a place to store critical files and to put backups from my laptop / desktop.

Mine was the samsung 750. Not so impressed with Samsung ssds. For the drive you took apart slap a sticker label that says "drive 2" over the broken sticker part since some people label their drives and the new sticker will cover the holes without them being able to take it off.

Any recommendations on SFF graphics cards? I want something I can stream games off of without it taking too much space.

>>102923465
There's a couple of SFF 4070s out there, but, I think you're probably barking up the wrong tree if you want to put that in your server. You'd probably be better off having a regular gaming PC, and then setting up streaming from that PC to wherever you want.

>>102925104
As long as the motherboard still works, it'll be fine. It's quite powerful for a nas, so maybe it could be underclocked and the gpu ditched for less power draw?

I mention the motherboard because I have a few haswell boards that either are unrealiable or don't work at all, their age is starting to get to them. The other parts probably won't die that easy.

>>102925104

Serves no purpose so I would just take it out of the machine unless you really need old Cuda sometime in the future.

So I use Discord a lot for closed-group RPGs online. It works fine, but I'm already selfhosting my virtual tabletop software (FoundryVTT) so why not increase my privacy by selfhosting the chats too?

Problem is, there's a dozen protocols to use and all of them seem to suck. Which one should I use? Is IRC still the gold standard? I hear people talking about Matrix or XMPP, but then again shit like Mumble also has text chats. Last time I used anything non-Discord was back in WoW 5.0 (2012)

>>102929478
People like Matrix it pretty mature, its a bit harder to setup and has ties to mossad as the downside plus some clear text unencrypted user name stuff iirc. XMPP is solid base, nexcloud has a good one as well

Do not self-host chats. You are not prepared to deal with the legal and technical consequences. And you'll never be able to achieve a service as good as Discord, Microsoft Teams, Slack, or whatever else.

ahoy /hsg/! I'm about to install a Ubiquit Access Point on my OPNsense router to give me wifi.

Here's my current setup:

So if I understand the documentation correctly, I need to:
>Plug the cable modem into the WAN port of my OPNsense box
>Plug my AP into my switch

Is it that easy? Switch does PoE and my switch does 62w delivery. Is that enough for this AP?

I hope so. I have LAN and WAN both assigned in OPNsense. LAN feeds a managed switch, WAN is going to take the modem's cable, and the switch hosts the AP that I hope will generate wifi.

And yet now today, I'm getting no additional cksum issues.
I'll have to do a scrub and see if any show up, but it seems to have stabilized. I've still got a new disk on the way just to make sure.

They are going to get a warrant for anon server for a swear word? As long as not one is posting CP or viable threats the feds dont care.

What is the best price/capacity hard drive on the market right now?
The best I see is Toshiba 20TB MG10ACA20TE, anything else has much higher GB/$. Even for Toshiba drives, the smaller ones are not really cheap enough to be worth it (a 12TB one costs almost the same as a 20TB one, it's ludicrous).

i don't think it'll fool anyone but it's worth a shot. at least it wasn't exorbitantly expensive or anything. thanks, anon.
