It might be clearer to say it’s more like your house wiring, instead of a power strip.

This is almost exactly how outlets are Daisy chained through a run.

Basically you have a homelab where every device is plugged into the next outlet along a wall, with each outlet being really close together.

His design is parallel, you’re just seeing it from the wrong perspective.

A homelab can accept a lot more downtime than a company that runs business off of a rack of servers.

A tradeoff between a sweet rack design for having to disassemble a little extra when replacing parts is a perfectly valid tradeoff for me.

Hell, most of us only run a single UPS, if any at all, which would have the same limitation.

It is pretty awesome, only real problem is that if you have to replace anything in the middle, you have to shutdown everything above it too.

That being said, it’s pretty fucking rad.

Tried that for a while. The battery turned into a spicy pillow and nearly broke the keyboard from how much it puffed out.

If you do that, make sure the laptop has a feature to keep the battery from charging to 100% at all times. UPSs with lead acid batteries handle sitting at 100% much better.

Lots of new people contributing code. Good to see.

More eyes and more contributors can mean a lot of fixes and new features coming, as long as the reviewers can keep up.

Hopefully this is a good trend.

Meh, I kinda randomly decide whenever I make a run. I’d say most of my cable runs are A, but I definitely have a bunch of B too.

Just depends on how I’m feeling that day.

Works fine for me.

I did that for a bit, but there was a noticeable increase in power usage on my server for something I’m not using.

I don’t understand this argument.

I paid once many years ago. I’ve never been asked to pay again. Why would I switch before they make a change?

In the meantime, jellyfin is getting better and better. Plex will probably be dead to me at some point, and when that happens, I’ll hop over.

I had a bad NVME drive that caused that on two separate computers.

One of them I slowly replaced every single piece of hardware except the NVME, still crashed about once a day. Finally sucked it up and bought a new drive and magically everything stopped crashing.

Started happening on my server so I just immdietely replaced the NVME drive and magically no crashes anymore.

Zero issues in the logs, no failures on bootup, no issues with any hardware scanners, just hard freeze randomly.

Paid also helps if you share passwords with multiple people.

If you need to update them, you just reprint and replace.

If you need to recover on the road, well that depends on your risk tolerance. I’m never away from home so long that it’s a problem, and pretty much every service has a way to bypass 2FA in case of emergency.

Print out all the QR codes on a sheet of paper and keep them secure in a fire safe. That’s really the best way to keep them backed up and secure.

NPM, Nginx Proxy Manager also has a UI and certificate management.

FYI, you can still dedrm Amazon books. Even ones you buy today.

Edit: Not going to lie, it’s a lot more complicated now. But it actually works for Amazon borrowed books too (i.e. - Libby library books)

You have to use KindleForPC 2.8.0. You download the books you want, then run an app called KFXKeyExtract28 to pull out all the keys.

You have to have DeDRM installed in calibre and point the plugin to the keyfile that gets generated (you only have to do this once)

Then you can import the books into calibre and everything will work as normal.

Don’t get discouraged, it works, you just have to figure out the right workflow that you’re comfortable with.

Also, I have no idea why they don’t just update the ReadMe, as it seems like this discussion thread is the only actual place this is documented.

Can confirm. Had a job interview and pulled out an old windows computer as a backup just in case.

Teams worked flawlessly on Linux, not a single hiccup.

Top one looks like a power brick.

Bottom one looks like one of the steam link boxes.

FreshRSS has an API that can be called by different apps in the app store.

I use FreshRSS web interface on my computer, and then use the Readrops app on my phone.

Correct, but you don’t know what is invalid.

It could be that the SSL certificate is expired (most likely) BUT it could be a number of other issues.

It could be signed by an untrusted source, it could be a man in the middle attack. It could be there’s malware on the website. It could be that the SSL certificate is misconfigured.

There’s no way to know because cloudflare is hiding the actual issue.
