You are asking for a world of pain here.

just_another_person , (edited )

I think you're confusing a few ideas here, and it's hard to understand what your main goal is. Let me see if I can break down what you want here:

  • Small form factor if possible
  • Storage expansion
  • Low power (antithesis to 3.5" HDDs)
  • NAS features? (unclear here)

If you're just trying to run containers easily, Synology NAS that support it (certain tier) are really easy to use, and you won't have to worry about hardware except inserting the initial drives to use.

If you're worried about cost, sure, building your own is going to be the best bet. If you're not expecting to really tax the I/O of the drives, USB 3+ won't be the worst thing in the world, but the management of a storage array over USB will be problematic if doing it yourself.

Lastly, it may help us if you describe what you're actually trying to to host on this hardware. It's the difference between someone suggesting a very low power CPU like an N100, or a lowER power CPU like and AMD that has a bit more upfront cost.

If any of this is confusing, just have a look at Synology or Qnap maybe. It'll be easier to manage in the long run if you're not comfortable or enjoy fiddling with hardware.

They really lost the plot at this point.

just_another_person ,

Simple. Effective. Unlike Google.

just_another_person ,

Very clever

just_another_person ,

This is either a joke, or vaporware. Ironically, all of this is already possible without buying an untrusted hardware platform with unknown software.

just_another_person ,

I woke up this morning thinking "I wonder what the 3D printing gun community thinks about stuff.", and I'm going to bed not giving a shit. Fuck these psychos.

just_another_person ,

Great news for the deaf populace.

just_another_person ,

I wasn't being sarcastic...

just_another_person ,

It's a Phishing scam using a tool. It's no more exploiting SyncThing than TCP/IP.

just_another_person ,

This is the most likely issue. Log output is a must, btw.

just_another_person ,

Ummm, nope. Some might, but not everyone by a longshot. Salaries aren't great either.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Why is Lemmy showing me news from the 00's?

tj , to homeassistant
@tj@hometech.social avatar

Working on the @homeassistant setup this weekend now that the pantry is getting closer to being finished.

Trying to setup an automation to run the robot vacuum in the utility room every third time the litter box goes off. Cannot seem to get the zones working though.

Any thoughts?

just_another_person ,

It's telling you exactly what is wrong...

Int means a number. It's expecting a number, and you've simply provided 'kitchen'. I'm not sure what a "Segment" is in this context, but it needs to be a number, or list of numbers as the label explains. That means you need to map rooms, and get their numbers.

just_another_person ,

Np

just_another_person ,

Can we just stop calling it a feature? Nobody asked for this to be a core part of the OS except MS tech support.

just_another_person ,

Don't forget about the dangerous batteries and looming recall (due to court action I'm sure)! They'll soon have ZERO customers, in a way.

just_another_person ,

Actually a thorough article from Wired. Oh...written by an Associate Professor, that's why.

just_another_person ,

Make them legally liable for service outages related to network attacks. They'll clean that shit up instantly.

just_another_person , (edited )

I do. I've been in the industry a long time.

Fact is, none of these network providers will work to secure their own infrastructure if they aren't required to, or have financial incentive. They have no reason to improve their systems aside from making money. Threaten that, and they'll get on board with being more rigid in their security standards.

Your argument is with late-stage capitalism, not the actual effect of my comment.

just_another_person ,

Not how that works.

just_another_person , (edited )

Prompt data is pointless and useless without a human to create a feedback loop for it, at which point it wouldn't have context anyway. Also human effort to correct spelling dnd other user errors at the outset anyway. Hugely pointless and unreliable.

Not to mention, what good would it do for training? It wouldn't help the model at all.

just_another_person ,

You're confusing analytics with direct input storage and reuse of prompt data to train somehow, as in your original comment.

Analytics has absolutely nothing to do with their model usage and training, and would pointless. Observing keywords and interests is standard analysis stuff. I don't even think anyone even cares about it anymore.

just_another_person ,

You do not want a 200W router, ma dood. This thing is ancient, and not going to be optimized for power usage whatsoever.

just_another_person ,

I mean, if you're unfamiliar, maybe just go with Squarespace? There's a reason it exists.

just_another_person ,

Better question is: why are you running static storage servers in Docker?

just_another_person ,

Don't run storage services in Docker. It's stupid and unnecessary. Just run it on the host.

just_another_person ,

Why, exactly?

just_another_person ,

Very specific, but makes sense

just_another_person ,

No shit.

just_another_person ,

Good luck convincing the taxpayers of that fact. It should be regulated and made available as such, but made to run for free by government agencies...I think that will piss absolutely everybody off for a number of reasons.

just_another_person ,

Way different than a federally funded ISP. Note the comment OP is making.

SMB, FTP, or NFS for NAS + server?

I am running a NAS that needs to connect to a server (the NAS isn't powerful enough). I also need to connect my NAS to a Windows, Mac, and Linux device (Linux being the most important, then Mac, then Windows). Out of SMB, FTP, and NFS, which one would be the best, quickest, and most secure for my situation? My NAS supports...

just_another_person ,

SMB works fine on everything. Whatever NAS they are running will be using the same Samba implementation anyway.

just_another_person ,

It's going to be SMB just because you want things to work, and user perms synced to the host. It's the same Samba implementation anyway.

just_another_person ,

Because SMB is slower than NFS. OP isn't concerned about that, but rather ease of use, and persisting perms and ownership.

What's your server wattage?

I'm in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn't that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my...

just_another_person ,

If you're just running home automation, you do not need an Epyc 🤣

Get a low power anything to just run what you need.

just_another_person ,

Some unsolicited advice then: don't go LOOKING for reasons to use the absolute max of what your hardware is capable of just because you can. You just end up spending more money 🤑

For real though, just get an N100 or something that does what you need. You don't need to waste money and power on an Epyc if it just sits idle 99% of the time.

just_another_person ,

What in the world...

Dafuq you doing over there?

just_another_person ,

Get a Drobo if you're that worried about that kind of access then. Make it simple.

Otherwise anything with two NICs is the same thing.

just_another_person ,

Man, today has had so many WTF moments. WTF.

just_another_person ,

It is.

"The Year Of Linux on Desktops". Been hearing this for decades, but it might actually be happening. What I'm feeling now is the same thing I felt when Mozilla originally split Firefox out, and made the first real competition to corporate browsers as a free product. People don't want all this bullshit, and want to retain control over the machines they are working on. Seems a lot more people are interested in FOSS environments now just to avoid all the other BS they hate getting shoveled at them.

just_another_person ,

Most things MOST people work on these days aren't heavily tied to Windows as an OS in a way that would prevent it running via emulation. Worst-case, in a VM. Lots of the everyday things people use is in the browser now.

You have an example?

just_another_person ,

All the larger PC manufacturers do offer Ubuntu at least. There was a time when Best Buy was selling them from Dell and Lenovo, but I'm sure the staff couldn't sufficiently explain the "why", and it was also at a time when more technology illiterate folks were the purchasers. That's not the case anymore, but I guess we will see how/if it shifts at all.

just_another_person ,

It's not about the total share, it's about the premise.

just_another_person ,

K8s isn't the only container orchestration platform out there, it's just what is the widely used flavor right now. Any of the micro clusters would still be better than the Docker tools, for a multitude of reasons, and if someone is learning about this right now, they might as well put the effort forth to get familiar.

I've never seen a large scale Compose or Swarm cluster, and wouldn't be working for a team who ran such things. Alternatives would also be: ECS (if on AWS), Openshift, Rancher, and most other cloud platforms have some form of their own that handles provisioning, as well is IAM/RBAC seamless integrations, and other networking integrations for whatever platform.

just_another_person ,

No, it's container orchestration. As-in "I orchestrate all the scaling needed to run and scale the containers".
