Anyone familiar with older Dell PowerVaults?
  • Using the SAS cards instead of the FC controllers should be fine, but it will be a different beast. The MD3600 controllers are basically your RAID card and you use a SAS HBA to connect to it. The virtual disks are configured on the MD3600 and exposed as LUNs to the hosts over FC. If you put plain SAS controllers in the storage chassis instead, you are exposing all the bare drives to the host. That is how I would do it if I were in your shoes and then would just create ZFS arrays over those bare disks. If I were going to try and have multiple hosts using that storage then you would need to stick with the MD3600F.

  • Anyone familiar with older Dell PowerVaults?
  • You probably need to reset the configuration on the controllers. I'm not familiar with that particular unit but older ones had serial ports that you could plug in a cable to and would either have a firmware prompt for commands or a menu system that you could interact with to do things like clear errors or reset the configuration.

  • What do you host for your finances and why!
  • I use hledger mostly because of the plain text format. I came from YNAB as well but I just hated how you couldn't easily undo changes or see when you made a change, etc. This is so easily to track changes and you can add comments explaining your reasoning around things and you can keep everything in source control so you have all the power of that as well. Not for everyone but if you're a programmer or just comfortable on the command line it's great.

    Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version. Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenan...

    As much as I love the idea of the laptop, and as much as I want one, I just can't seem to justify it over my current Lenovo T480. Other than a faster/newer processor, I'm not sure that I'd
  • I went from a T480 to an 11th gen Framework and while I appreciate the upgradable design and better portability, honestly, I could have easily continued to use that Thinkpad as my main machine. If you don't need the upgrade, save your money and drive that T480 into the ground. It's a fantastic machine, as is the Framework.

  • Laptop companies: which one?
  • Yeah it is but it's a pretty capable laptop. I've replaced mine with a Framework 11th gen for my daily use but my T480 is currently hosting 10 VMs for my homelab. It's got the base CPU, i5-8250U, 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD and is plenty of horsepower. I really only got the Framework because I was excited about the product and company, not because I was unsatisfied with the T480. I highly recommend it.

  • Looking for Self-Hosted Budgeting Tools Similar to YNAB
  • Not sure if you're into command line tools but I'm using hledger and have emulated pretty well the YNAB envelope method and I'm liking it quite a bit. Using plain text for transaction journals is amazing and has solved some of the ambiguity I felt when using YNAB. Tons of information here for this type of accounting method. And look here specifically for implementing the envelope method with these sorts of tools.

    No phone apps are available as far as I know but depending on your technical expertise you could provide reports from a webpage pretty easily.

  • Feature request: allow disable auto-scrolling

    I have been finding a lot of great content by setting my view to "All" and sort type to "Hot" or even "Top Day". However, it is kind of infuriating how those modes automatically scroll with seemingly no way to disable it. Am I just missing an option somewhere or is there a known workaround for this? This is on the lemmy.ml web view.
