Here are some cool examples I was looking at:
https://github.com/zardoy/minecraft-web-client — Minecraft in your browser, complete with connections to servers.
https://github.com/inolen/quakejs — quake 3 in your browser, has multiplayer as well.
Any other good examples? or good lists?
probably also selfhosted.
Here is a link do selfhosting it: https://github.com/TeamHypersomnia/Hypersomnia/blob/master/README_SERVER.md#docker-setup
yep… I write all my papers in Google because I can access the files anywhere, and nothing beats PaperPile for referencing yet.
I recall spreadsheets being particularly painful on mobile when I’d try to select multiple rows and it would select way more at a time but would need to fouble-check that or find a screen recording if I made one at the time.
The main issues is there was a bug where if there is an open session for a document in Collabora (including dead sessions say from mobile) and that Collabora server is shut down in the wrong order, then all changes including if you click “Save” will be lost. A bug was opened for this and closed by making sure the servers shut down in the correct order, but I don’t know if that fixes cases where the servers a hard shutdown.
They banned the user that did the robust cybersecurity audit. They banned everyone who pointed it out or linked to the post or mentioned it. They took the subreddit private. The clown dev has a donate feature and claims that it will be used to put his daughter through school. Just scum all around.
Personally I prefer my software to give me options, I hate when stuff like this is picked for me when equally valid options exist
Any experiences with a self-hosted assistant like the modern Google Assistant? Looking for something LLM-powered that is smarter than older assistants that would just try to call 3rd party tools directly and miss or misunderstand requests half of the time.
I’d like integration with a mobile app to use it from the phone and while driving. I see Home Assistant has an Android Auto integration. Has anyone used this, or another similar option? Any blatant limitations?
Install Ollama on a machine with fast CPU or GPU and enough RAM. I currently use Qwen3 that takes 8GB RAM. Runs on an NVIDIA GPU. Running it on CPU is also fast enough. There’s a 4GB version which is also decent for device control. Add Ollama integration in Home Assistant. Connect it to the Ollama on the other machine. Add Ollama as conversation agent to the Home Assistant’s voice assistant. Expose HA devices to be controllable. That’s about it.
But what’s acting like the little box in your house that listens like an Amazon echo?
I run Home Assistant in a virtual machine on my home server. Sometimes I need to restart it and I’m not always in a position to SSH or VNC in. Is there anything out there that would allow me to do this quickly?
Not looking for a workaround but thanks
OK now we’re talking! Thanks.
That’s incredibly helpful and informative, a great read. Thanks so much!
Abefinder/Neofinder is great for cataloging but it costs money. If you do a limited backup it’s good to know what you had. I use tape formatted to LTFS and Neofind both the source and the finished tape.
The title says basically everything but let me elaborate.
Given the recent news about the sold out of harddrives for the current year and possibly also the next years (tomshardware article) I try to buy the HDDs I want to use for the next few years earlier than expected.
I am on a really tight budget so I really don’t want to overspend. I have an old tower PC laying around which I would like to turn into a DIY NAS probably with TrueNAS Scale.
I don’t expect high loads, it will only be 1-2 users with medium writing and reading.
In this article from howtogeek the author talks about the differences and I get it, but a lot of the people commenting seem to be in a similar position as I am. Not really a lot of read-write load, only a few users, and many argue computing HDDs are fine for this use case.
Possibilites I came up with until now: 1. Buy two pricey Seagate Ironwolf or WD Red HDDs and put them in RAID1 2. Buy three cheaper Seagate Barracuda or WD Blue and put two in RAID1 and keep one as a backup if (or should I say when?) one of the used drives fails.
I am thankful for every comment or experience you might have with this topic!
It is a gamble, fuck the my butt bozos for speculating us into economic uncertainty
F in the chat for your savings, least you’ve got the peak of home NASes. Pretty fuckin cool and I hold out hope when the drop comes in a… 6 months to 3 years…? that I’ll be able to afford full SSD NAS life. The power savings, the speed, the no worries of shock or vibrations, the silence - jealous
Hey all, I know the purists might sneer at me for this, but I just spun up a server via Hetzner so I could run Docker in the cloud. Since my ISP uses CGNAT, my only options for hosting services at home are either via Tailscale Funnel or CloudFlare Tunnel. If you remember my previous post about Yattee, that’s not available on the public internet, but was meant for my private use only. The idea behind this new project is hosting things I intend for public access. I’m debating if I’m going to use a domain I already own that ends in the .us TLD or if I should wait until I get paid in a couple of days and buy a new one from Pork Bun that doesn’t have the .us TLD and all the potential baggage that carries. Three questions come to mind:
I personally have a K3S cluster I host at home and an auto-scaled cluster in Hetzner. I see different use cases and am happy to have both.
One thing to mention is that you can also run your own tunnel with something like pangolin on a VPS (CX23 is plenty). Thus, you could have a cheaper could bill if you wanted a hybrid setup.
Also, I highly recommend moving your node to a data center closer to home.
unfortunately, the American data centers that Hetzner has don’t have any capacity for the type of VPS that I’m interested in. what they do offer for those particular data centers is just entirely too expensive for my budget. That’s why I went with one of the European data centers, as even with the upcoming pricing increase, I’ll be able to actually afford my VPS. Plus, having it outside of American jurisdiction makes me much happier.
tldr: I’m going to set up raid z2 with 4x8TB hard drives. I’ll have photos, documents (text, pdf, etc.), movies/tv shows, and music on the pool. Are the below commands good enough? Anything extra you think I should add?
sudo zpool create mypool raidz2 -o ashift=12 /dev/disk/by-id/12345 ...
zfs set compression=lz4 mypool #maybe zstd?
zpool set autoexpand=on mypool
zpool set autoreplace=on mypool
zpool set listsnapshots=on mypool
With ai raising hard drive prices, I over spent on 3x10TB drives in order to reorganize my current pool and have 3 hard drives sitting on a shelf in the event of a failure. My current pool was built over time but it currently consists of 4x8TB drives. They are a mirrored stripe so a usable 16TB. If I understand it correctly, I can lose 1 drive for sure without losing data and maybe a second drive depending on which drive fails. Because of that, I want to move to raid z2 to ensure I can lose 2 drives without data loss. I’m going to move data from my 4x8TB drives, to the 3x10TB, reconfigure the 4x8TB, and move everything back. I run Immich, plex/jellyfin, and navidrome off the pool. All other documents are basically there for storage just in case. What options should I use for raid z2 when setting it up?
Make sure you scrub weekly. The probability of a second device failure is higher than you think, since it can be triggered by resilvering. I would also make sure you have a spare at hand.
For context, I’ve also been using ZFS since Solaris.
I was wrong about compression on datasets vs pools, my apologies.
By “almost no impact” (for compression), I meant well under 1% penalty for zstd, and almost unmeasurable for lz4 fast, with compression efficiency being roughly the same for both lz4 and zstd. Here is some data on that.
Lz4 compression on modern (post-haswell) CPUs is actually so fast, that lz4 can beat non-compressed writes in some workloads (see this). And that is from 2015.
Today, there is no reason to turn off compression.
I will definitely look into the NFS integrations for ZFS, I use NFS (exports and mounts) extensively, I wonder what I’ve been missing.
Anyway, thanks for this.
And I’m sure if your ISP kicked you, that would still work…
