I have mine from all my grades from primary to high school. My father wrote an analysis on the back of one after the term had ended and what I could have done for the grades to be better: basically to make tiny little improvements consistently throughout the year. I have come a long way but I still try to follow it.

I have that exact same setup but with 4 TB disks on zfs in mirrored mode. Have not noticed any performance issues in my home lab setup mainly being used for immich and media serving. I had purposely chosen disks of different brands specifically for this reason. My vote goes to this setup.

What I’m looking for is a way to take backup of Docker containers so I can restore them in case things go wrong. Doing so with VMs is so easy. If nothing works, I’ll make an image of my OS disk. Unless some benevolent self hoster tells me a simple way, which was my hope when posting here :D

Last year I wanted to set up a budget media PC and got enamored by this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCDmHljsinY

I got a 600 G3 with the 4560 processor, installed Debian onto it and hooked it to my 4k TV mainly to run immich and stremio.

Immich runs just fine, though I have gotten too fast behind its upgrades and having less knowledge about Docker, I’m afraid to update immich. Need to figure that out.

But what disappointed me was that my good quality videos (even the downloaded ones) are choppy to run (unlike the fluid expectations from the video above) and I don’t really know what I should look into to make it better.

Is it capable of recognising disks set up as zfs mirrors? I have my OS on 256GB SSD while I have two large disks where I keep my data set up as zfs mirrors. I am not very well conversant with docker so everytime I need to do a critical update, I simply create a disk image of my OS drive onto the zfs mirror. Currently, i do it by booting into a live Ubuntu USB and running commands to make it recognise the zfs mirror before cloning the OS disk. If rescuezilla can do it by default, I will prefer it over live Ubuntu.

No, I wanted to bring out the irony. Maybe an ‘‽’ would have been better than the ‘?’ I put at the end of my comment.

Didn’t their prime minister recently use a VPN to congratulate Trump on X, which is blocked from access by the same govt?

I do this with AAs. Basically put the side with the bump (positive) on the tip of the tongue and touch the flat (negative) side with a wet finger. It gives out a mild but distinctive ‘taste’, not enough to tingle but definitely something I am able to notice, when the cell has decent juice.

I am not sure if this will pique your interest but I find kinetic sand tables really fascinating. Sisyphus came up with it first and there have been a number of open source implementations in due course. One way is to implement it using a scara arm mechanism but they have the problem of load weight in the case of long arms.

I came across this design that rethinks the design using an elegant rack and pinion arm but still needs a belt that may go out of calibration over time. This looks to be improved further using [two, concentric rings] (https://frew.io/work/sisyphish) but this design is not available to explore/copy.

I have no idea about 3D designing, but I would love to create a table one day: something that will not need constant adjustment. If you get around to taking this up, I would love to see what design improvements you can come up with.

Yes, i think squid proxy would do the trick too. It even has installers for windows.

Look at the silver lining. At least their computers must have escaped the recent windows BSOD.

Thank you! I’ll look into it.

Your point is valid. I’ll use the learnings from this thread for other, robust, services first and keep an eye on the progress of immich in terms of security.

Thank you, I’ll work it out based on what you’ve told me.

Thanks, I’ll figure the best way out based on the responses.

And lol, I did not know about goDaddy being this bad since this was the first time I purchased a domain. Is it possible to move domains from one provider to another or do I have to wait for it to expire and then register on the other provider?

I read about funnel and it is really cool. But it seems to only expose the services through a *.ts.net type of URL. What I want is to use the domain that I’ve acquired.

I have used reverse proxy in office setup where my local IP was NATed to a dedicated public IP. But in my home lab, I don’t have a dedicated public IP. So, i need to figure a way around that.

For now only Immich, but on a sub domain like I said in the PS. And yes, immich is installed using docker.

ViMusic has not been updated in quite some time. RiMusic is actively being developed.

I wish there was something for HP 800 G3s. I bought them used after a lot of deliberations and would love to keep it running for as long as I can while not losing out on functionalities.
