I switched to Bitwarden after the LastPass stuff a couple years ago, and I just got around to installing Vaultwarden on my TrueNAS system at home. Using a single Cloudflare Tunnel to handle secure external connections for that and other services like Emby easily. Took a little bit to setup following some guides, but has been working flawlessly for me and some friends. You can use the regular Bitwarden apps and extensions since they natively support self hosting.

Yeah it is clear as day here. Airflow is inadequate while the product is in use on hotter days.

Crazy, thought for sure it would fail testing.

Still wouldn’t trust it personally after a failed stick from a matched pair regardless of what the test says though.

(used to have 2, one died)

That would make me immediately look to the RAM as the possible source or corruption. If it used to be a matched pair and one stick died, the odds of the other being on its way out are MUCH higher than normal. I would never trust that matched stick.

Similar issues even with just 2 DIMMs with some XMP/EXPO profiles not working on AMD systems because of board/CPU limits. It should technically work, but for whatever reason it just can’t handle it and speeds need to be dropped or the timings loosened a bit even though the RMA itself is rated for that.

Not that the higher speeds are even necessary for 90% of users outside extreme overclocking. DDR5 6000 is basically where you reach diminishing returns anyway, and that’s often where that limit seems to appear.

Yeah AMD’s memory controllers, especially DDR5 seem to have a lot more difficulty at high speed with 4 slots filled. I used to plan upgrades around populating 2 slots and doubling if needed a few years later, instead now you really need to plan to ignore those slots if you are needing memory performance for things like gaming versus raw capacity.

Dug into it, got into Memtest’s source code and discovered that the first pass is shorter on purpose so that it quickly flags obviously bad RAM. Apparently if you want to detect less obvious issues, you have to run multiple passes.

I thought it was common knowledge that Memtest needed to be run for multiple passes to truly verify there are no issues. Seems that’s one of those things that stopped being passed down in the community over the years. Back when I was first learning about overclocking around 2005 that was emphasized HEAVILY, with the recommendation to run it at least overnight, and a minimum of 10 passes.

To be honest, from experience with the general public selling and supporting phones since the beginning of the smartphone revolution, anything other than the built in option is more complicated than most people can handle. They just get overwhelmed and then do nothing.

Most people are completely willing to ignore that message and will then complain that they lost everything just because they didn’t pay the $1-2 a month upgrade that would have covered their storage needs with that built-in dummy-proof option that requires zero setup.

Agreed, but most people don’t backup at all. Then complain very loudly when they lose everything and blame everyone else other than themselves. Saw it daily fixing people’s phones.

The technically inclined were the worst offenders, they always felt like they knew better than the defaults but they never actually set anything up.

OneDrive sucks but it is better than losing everything because your shit suddenly dies.

A reminder that if your data is not backed up in a different physical location, then it is not safe.

I mean, modern web browsers are trying to be absolutely everything else as well. Fully supporting a format isn’t exactly an outrageous expectation.

Not just more efficient, vastly more efficient. Algae is 10-50 times faster at processing CO² than trees are. Some algae can be up to 400x as efficient.

It’s just not as “nice” to look at, we usually associate algae with growth in unsafe bodies of water like bogs, etc. versus a nice clean pool or even a maintained pond.

Why bother with that? That’s gonna be $1000 just for the box alone, and still lock me into the Synology ecosystem.

I can build a NAS with more capability for less than that. Like taking a Jonsbo NAS case and have the freedom to do whatever I want with it, with plenty of space to move everything else I’m running over to that as well. Even their N5 would likely be less expensive, and I’d have room for 12 HDDs and 4 SSDs then.

I had been considering upgrading, my current 4 bay Synology is physically full and running out of storage space. Moving that to a larger Synology box and adding drives would be easiest, basically plug and play.

But now instead I’ll probably just switch to a more traditional NAS instead. Run TrueNAS, or maybe give HexOS a look. If I’m going to have to convert from my current proprietary Synology filesystem anyway I might as well rebuild from scratch. As it is I’ve shifted all the services off the Synology and Docker to a dedicated Proxmox box.

It honestly like the most knowledgeable people are the worst to get useful information out of. They may think certain things are obvious, or link things together in a way that you don’t, so you can’t follow their internal thought process to fill in gaps.

I wish they’d do the same with me. Customer Support wears on your soul in a way most other jobs don’t come anywhere near.

And technical support becomes this weird combination of accuracy for troubleshooting and diagnosis, combined with a client that lies to you (often they don’t know they’re lying, sometimes they do) about the issue or what their role is with the issue. Actually now that I think about it, seems a lot like medicine. House actually has a lot of parallels with technical support.

You haven’t worked a customer service or support position before have you? Not everyone has the same explicit definitions for things. You don’t know what they consider the “screen” on their device. I worked in retail repairing phones for over a decade and saw customers refer to “screen” for every different component of the touchscreen assembly. and sometimes things completely unrelated to the display or touch at all. And that doesn’t even get into the possibility of language differences when we’re talking in an online community like lemmy.

At a separate job handling insurance replacements and reimbursements, I had a customer one time argue when processing a replacement TV for their current one that wouldn’t turn on. They were extremely insistent that it wasn’t broken. It wouldn’t turn on, but it wasn’t broken. Their definition of “broken” only meant physical damage, something just not working at all wasn’t broken. Hell, people still refer to the computer monitor as the computer, or the tower/box as the CPU.

We also don’t know how bad the damage to the screen assembly is without a photo at least. It could be that the LCD/LED is damaged and not clearly visible, but enough of it is still visible to enter your PIN if you can find a way around the touch interaction. We’re missing information, and making assumptions about the situation based on explicit definitions that you know doesn’t necessarily translate to an end user.

A broken touchscreen doesn’t mean you can’t see what’s on the screen. OP said its “unusable”, but we don’t know if that just means just the touch is unusable or if the actual LCD/LED is damaged as well.

Most people have no idea you can use a mouse or keyboard on the phone at all, so they’d consider the touch not working to mean the entire phone is unusable since they can’t interact with it the one way they’ve ever used.

We just don’t really have all the information, we don’t need to be making assumptions that could easily be wrong as well and ignore possible easy solutions for their problem.

There are plenty of step-by-step guides to run Deepseek locally. Hell, someone even had it running on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to be much more efficient than other current alternatives.

That’s about as openly available to self host as you can get without a 1-button installer.

I always assume rebrands are attempts to cover up something.

Unless they coincide with an entire board of directors change, it’s bullshit.
