DietPi is great!
  • Whether you automate pihole upgrades is separate from whether you automate debian package updates. I recommend at least automatically installing security updates for the OS, unless you want to manually keep track and do this for all your devices.

  • Why does have to be this way?
  • I agree. I absolutely hate when some pesky git hook rejects some debug code I wrote that I want to commit. Mind you, commit, not integrate. This is the situation where I whip out git commit -n.

  • On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.
  • I'm rather confused. I don't have any app called Gemini installed, but despite this "Hey Google" brings up Gemini. So I have no app to disable, and no way to turn off interaction with other apps. This is on a Samsung A55 in Europe, happily taking advice on how to proceed.

  • Small NAS home server woes

    So, I currently have a Netgear ReadyNAS 314 with 1 SSD, 3 HDDs, Intel Atom D2701 and 4GB RAM, running Debian 12, and since getting it I've been getting more into self hosting. What I have now is primarily too weak in the CPU and RAM department, but it could also use more HDDs. I'm aiming for 5-6 3.5 HDDs, 1 Nvme, 1 2.5" SSD.

    What I'm currently running:

    • Samba and NFS server

    • OpenVPN

    • Jellyseerr/Jellyfin/*arr stack

    • Pangolin

    • Dawarich

    • Immich

    • rsnapshot

    • Homepage

    And it's rather sluggish right now, and is almost filling up its 4GB of swap.

    What I'd also like to be able to run/have:

    • Nextcloud

    • Transcoding (including ability to decode AV1, but preferably also encode)

    • Anything else I may want to run (working on degoogling myself)

    • ECC RAM (to prevent bitrot, I'm already running btrfs raid1 to prevent bitrot from faulty disks)

    • 1x 2.5G ethernet

    If possible I'd like to have some room for upgradeability. I'm aiming for a low power build, that should be rather compact, especially not very wide unless I can find a better place in my office for it.

    I'm looking at a Jonsbo N1 chassis (17cm wide) , but I'm also following a Readynas 626 (19cm wide) in an online auction. Options:

    Intel N100 board

    Pros: cheap, low power, quicksync with av1 decode

    Cons: boards with 2.5G ethernet have to be ordered from Aliexpress and have no support and uses the JMB585 chip that prevents low power C states, limited pcie lanes, no AV1 encode, not very upgradeable (1 DIMM, soldered CPU) , no ECC, I worry it may be too slow

    Intel 13100

    Pros: AV1 decode, quite fast, upgradeable

    Cons: No ECC, relatively expensive, no AV1 encode

    AMD 8500G

    Pros: AV1 enc/dec, ECC, relatively fast, upgradeable

    Cons: relatively expensive, not as low power as the 13100

    Readynas 626

    Pros: enterprise grade HW, less DIY, ECC, may be relatively cheap

    Cons: high power for its performance (roughly that of the N100), wider (19cm) than a Jonsbo N1 (17cm), not upgradeable (no CPU or mobo swap), expensive DDR4 2133 ECC UDIMM, doesn't have M.2 but has a PCIE slot

    I'd love to hear what you think about these options and whether you have other concerns that I haven't thought about.

    Edit: I just now realized that the 13100 doesn't have AV1 encode in HW, that didn't come until Core Ultra. And wowee, suitable mITX mobos start at 400$ here! I think AMD is the realistic choice if I want to go for AV1 HW encode...

    Astronomers have found a background din of exceptionally long-wavelength gravitational waves pervading the cosmos. The cause? Probably supermassive black hole collisions, but more exotic options can’t be ruled out.

    Den svenska regeringen ”fördömer starkt” de ”islamofobiska handlingar” som förekommit vid manifestationer i Sverige. Uttalandet från UD kommer efter att Islamska konferensorganisationen (IKO) krävt lagliga åtgärder mot koranbränningar.

    ”Brännandet av koranen, eller någon annan helig skrift, är en kränkande och respektlös handling och en tydlig provokation”, skriver UD.

    UD skriver vidare att uttryck för rasism, främlingsfientlighet och intolerans ”inte har någon plats i Sverige eller i Europa”.
