Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You'd need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)

The LSI 9210 8i - IT mode is a great option and can be had for under $50.

You would need a separate controller.

I use proxmox with truenas scale. It's a great option, but you just have to make sure to pass the hdd controller PCI device through to the VM. This can either be the SATA controller on the motherboard if you can make that work, or a separate PCIe HBA.

It's not cheap by any means, but MNT Research has done a lot of work for you. You can buy their Reform and Pocket Reform laptops, but also all of their designs are open source, so you can start there and tweak it to your own design if you really want.

Neat! I tried to add my freshrss server and got an error:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">...

My URL is of the format https://freshrss.example.com, my tls certs are good, and I'm using freshrss version 1.23.0

I used it 2012-2014. It was fairly decent at that time.

thejevans , to Fuck Cars in We don’t *need* more cars, more traffic, more congestion, more pollution, more road damage, and more CO2 emissions.
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

That is certainly not the only reason why EVs are still so expensive. Raw materials for batteries are a large portion of their cost. Currently, the cost of many of these raw materials does not account for a living wage for miners or the impacts mining can have on miners and the surrounding environment, and still the raw materials cost is a large portion of the cost of the batteries. Sure, there could be some magic new battery chemistry that circumvents this issue, but it's unreasonable to expect that. The previous data showing drops in car battery prices could keep going down, sure, but it's more complicated than simply economics of scale.

In the USA, currently roughly 25% of light vehicles on the road are 20 years old or older [1]. The average age of light vehicles on the road is steadily increasing [2]. The current federal target is that 50% of new cars sold in 2030 will be electric [3]. I don't know what you consider "common," but with these data, I wouldn't be surprised if 20% or more of cars on the road in 2050 were still ICE, and this doesn't even take into account larger vehicles like busses and trucks, which tend to stay in operation for much longer [4].

If batteries get significantly cheaper, charging infrastructure gets significantly better, oil & gas pricing starts to include its environmental cost, and public transit becomes much easier for those that really can't afford anything but the cheapest car, then all this might change.

One of the big problems with "ICE vehicles will become unaffordable", is that the ICE cars themselves will get cheaper, and for people with less income, it's the big upfront cost of electric cars that keeps them from switching. If a person cannot afford to pay for an electric car out of pocket (it tends to be difficult for poorer people to get access to loans and for loans to be available for older cars), then they will be forced to pay for gas at whatever price it costs.

thejevans , to Free and Open Source Software in What are your favorite FOSS to-do apps?
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

I use todo.txt format todo lists.

On desktop, I use sleek, which is FOSS.

On mobile, there are a couple FOSS options, but they all kinda suck, so I use obsidian with a todo.txt plugin that works pretty well for viewing and checking off items.

thejevans , to Technology in Why 404 Media Needs Your Email Address
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

I'm excited for the premium RSS feed. 404media has some of the best reporting in recent memory, and being able to read the full text of all their articles on my RSS reader, plus having access to an ad-free podcast RSS feed with bonus content makes the $100/year membership price entirely worth it.

Now if only aftermath.site had a full-text premium RSS feed, I'd be all set.

thejevans , to Selfhosted in Which OS do you use for your homeserver?
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

Proxmox w/Debian, TrueNAS Scale, and Home Assistant VMs w/(usually Alpine) Docker containers in some VMs

thejevans , to Free and Open Source Software in Yet another request for a note taking app
@thejevans@lemmy.ml avatar

I'm looking for the same thing but with the added difficultly of wanting live collaboration in notes, primarily so I can use it for grocery shopping with my partner, but for other stuff we do together, too. Hedgedoc 2.0 is what I have my eye on the most.

The current Hedgedoc checks boxes 2 and 3 for you, but not box 1. You can check/uncheck checkboxes in view mode, though. I'm at the point now where I don't really care too much about having a wysiwyg editor for my workflow, but I understand if it's not what you need.

They have a demo here: https://demo.hedgedoc.org/

The other biggest downside is how 1.x handles navigating to different notes. It uses a "history" page which works alright, but isn't very organized. 2.0 will include an "explore" page that will be much better.

As others have stated, porkbun + cloudflare + ddclient will do everything you need.
