Goofed Home

I am trying to build my final NAS build as a beginner.

I have a 6x4tb dell server, but it’s not enough.

I am currently trying to build the final boss of my nasses. 4x14tb with truenas with raid

I am unsure of what parts to buy as I am a complete beginner.

I found a case that can hold all 14 drives.

I need a motherboard, CPU, ram, PSU

I am on a budget, kind of.

What motherboard do you recommend? Pulled from a workstations with CPU and ram?

What CPU to run all these drives?

What ram and how much? 16? 32? 128+? Ecc, non ecc?

Power supply: 850w or more?

I would appreciate any help on this build, I want to build this as soon as possible.

Thanks

Is that a fractal define 5XL? Looks similar, well anyway if you plan on using zfs the more ram the better.

Bro I can quit adding things to Sonarr whenever I want I just need one more drive bro last time bro I swear bro

Hey everybody. I found this interesting. It’s likely not a game changer for anyone, but “hardware” watchdogs in Proxmox was a new one for me, and was a cheap and easy, hacky fix to deal with a low value VM that was periodically hanging. This is a nice tool to add to the belt, hope you all enjoy!

You’re absolutely right! I’d point you back to my notion of cost-benefit analysis. Anything more than the 20min that I’ve spent on analysis so far isn’t worth my time. If the VM falls over permanently, that was a risk and my time savings has already been worth that risk. If I were looking at something like a production file server or domain controller, sure – I’d spend more time on it. Likely though, I’d just have engineered it better in the first place. Not every problem warrants a high precision solution. 🙂

I’m all about adding to the proverbial arsenal. 🤘

Hello! I never used *arr stack, and was interested into it, but one thing is stopping me. I see a lot of articles like how it is Netflix (or any other ONLINE theater) replacement, but as I see it is not online. I see two big factors that stops me from trying seerr + jellyfin (and other stuff in between): 1. You have two switch between those apps to search and then watch. 2. You can’t watch media before it’s completely downloaded.

I imagine sitting on coach, searching for show. Then you want to watch some, and then you have to wait half an hour for full episode (or even season?). And then you can realize that you not into it and have to repeat all the steps above. Is my expectation correct? Please don’t consider this as negative opinion. Just want to know what to expect. I remember an app called “popcorn time” that does not have that flaws.

I’d love to have internet fast enough that “seconds to minutes” were a reality.

I’ve been looking for a webproxy that would work with big websites like YouTube. So far I’ve found only very outdated and abandoned ones. Is there any up-to-date and actually functional webproxy I could host?

Sweet!

Wow, that’s pretty neat, thanks!

I’ve been looking for something like this for so long, thanks so much! I like how minimal and functional it is at the same time. This is the best combination of social media and blogging.

Initially Webmentions and AP reactions were rendered on separate panels (with the Jinja rendering templates provided by the webmentions and pubby libraries respectively), but then I found that a bit confusing and cluttering, because there were basically two comment sections with two different time-sorted lists of threads. But if people prefer the other way around I could also add it as an option or a filter toggle 🙂

😶‍🌫️I personally wish the like & boost records could be distinguished from replies or webmention…

Hey!

I basically want to replace the Google Authenticator app in style and functionality:

1. List all TOTP tokens and their validity time (with a name and order I decide).
2. Allow me to periodically or on change back up the whole thing to some off-site storage, keeping the last N backups.
3. Have a native app for Android or an actually good PWA.
4. Don’t do magic bullshit like fetching icons, hide tokens, etc.
5. Be actually secure (i.e. don’t roll your own auth)
6. Just be a TOTP manager, and nothing more! No, I’m not interested in a password manager, thank you. I also don’t want any other OTP methods I don’t use.
7. Don’t be a one-man projects where the availability is not clear in >1 year.

Any experience is welcomed. Thank you!

Then use KeePass(XC) and don’t put your passwords in that database. Has/does everything you want if you can survive that it can also do more.

Has support for Steam OTP codes too.

This might be an odd setup, but I prefer Pangolin for the easy deployment of a combined Reverse Proxy and VPN but also wanted to play around with Netbird, which provides a mesh VPN.

So I have Pangolin installed on a VPS and connected to my home server which is running the Newt client.
Then I’ve installed Netbird on my home server using the Self-hosting Quickstart Guide. I choose “Other/Manual” when it came to selecting a Reverse Proxy and created the respective public resource in Pangolin for your subdomain. Just add multiple targets for multiple endpoints and enable Advanced Mode:

https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/9c16001a-982a-4474-9c1d-6731874bad29.png

Just make sure to select h2c instead of http for /signalexchange.SignalExchange and*/management.ManagementService. And obviously replace the 192.168.178.123 with your IP address.

Then start the docker-compose.yml and browse to your subdomain to register your initial account. Done!

True, but it’s still in beta and Pangolin has other useful features like built in geoblocking and authentication.

Well, geoblocking seems like a really useful feature. Thanks for mentioning it 👍

Wanted to share something with this community and see if it’s useful to anyone. Inkwell (inkwell.social) is an open source, multi-tenant social journaling platform built on ActivityPub. The goal is to fill the long-form writing gap in the fediverse in a way that’s accessible to non-technical users, not just developers who can spin up their own instance of WriteFreely or Ghost.

What it does: users sign up, write journal entries or articles, and those posts federate as Article objects per FEP-b2b8 with preview Notes so they render cleanly in Mastodon and other microblogging clients. You get a title, excerpt, and link rather than a decontextualized URL. Follows, boosts, and likes all work bidirectionally with Mastodon.

It’s ad-free, algorithm-free, and the code is open source on GitHub (github.com/stantondev/inkwell). The hosted instance is at inkwell.social if you want to try it, or you can self-host your own.

Some things that might interest this community: ActivityPub federation with HTTP signature verification, Stamps (emotional reactions) instead of generic likes, a tipping system called Postage for supporting writers, newsletter delivery, custom profile themes, and data import from other platforms. Currently working on improving comment edit propagation and post scope handling for better fediverse compatibility based on community feedback.

Would love to hear thoughts, especially from anyone who’s been looking for a long-form option in the fediverse or anyone interested in running their own instance. What’s working, what’s missing, what would make this more useful to the ecosystem?

respect that approach. transparency plus actually maintaining what you ship matters way more than the tool you use. three weeks solo with ai assistance is legit different than someone slapping together garbage and bouncing. the github openness seals it for me. good luck with it

Appreciate that! I realized I had an outdated readme and needed to add the sourcing directly from the Inkwell site. My biggest concern is gaps that my butt won’t catch, but luckily I’ve had early adopters getting on, requesting feature upgrades and reporting bugs. There is no way it would be where it is at if I didn’t get lucky with some early users and feedback.

Hi everyone

I’m trying to degoogle as much as possible. I’ve heard about this thing called calDAV and cardDAV but I have no idea how to use it.

With radicale, do I need to install some other somewhere in order to use it?

I’m just looking for basic useage for myself only at this stage. I’d like to be able to self host my own calendar and contacts. Is radicale appropriate for this?

Is it safe to self host a calendar?

Can a self hosted calendar still send and receive invites to other calendars?

Any help greatly appreciated, thank you

You don’t need a dashboard. Think of it as just a database. And then other apps interact with it. On my android phone I have davx5 which does all the syncing of things like calendar and contacts. Setting up and syncing with davx5 is the easy bit. The hard bit is getting authentication working and creating the databases. Mine works perfectly but I couldn’t tell you how I set it up. If I want to add another calendar or contacts list to it Id have to go and figure it all out again.

I found Radicale easy to install and set up. Unfortunately, using it with an Android phone means Davx5 - there really doesn’t seem to be a viable alternative. And I couldn’t get Davx5 to work after days of effort, so I gave up on the idea of self-hosting contacts and calendar at all.
