Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

Currently doing a full backup of 37TB to tape. Which I would normally do once per quarter but I got a smart error on one of my drive that I'll have to replace but before shutting down and removing the drive I want to have a full backup I might even get warranty on the drive at least I got the last time this happened drive has lower then 200 days of runtime. We'll see

What hardware are you using to read/write tape, and what does that cost you?

I've got around 30tb that I need to shift off of a Drobo at some point so I can repurpose the drives into a proper RAID setup that isn't a closed source black-box from a dead company (that was a poor choice, 6 years ago 🙁). Keeping an eye out for solutions for when I get around to fixing that mess.

I'm in the process of doing an initial restic sync of my primary storage to B2 as offsite backup and while I'm at it finally got around having a look at resticprofiles to simplify my restic backups on all my systems. Highly recommend it as it reduced my mental overhead of doing regular backups quite a bit!

I spent half a dozen hours this weekend trying to get Proxmox running on a 2nd hand laptop, but I can't get it to run without sounding like a jet engine. The machine did fine when I ran Mint and used it as a laptop - but even after blacklisting the dGPU and forcing all the CPU cores to powersaving, I'm still making heat like crazy.

Plan B is to put Mint back on it and install podman and see if fan noise is a problem then. But I'd rather have podman running in an unprivileged LXC.

Hmmm you might be able to first install Debian 12 and make sure the fan control works properly, then just install the proxmox application inside of that

Good call. That's plan b now.

Thanks!

I would run Debian from a stick and install Proxmox with the installer and not on top of Debian unless you have to. While the latter works, I found some settings around network interfaces to differ between the installation methods which caused me problems here and there.

[–] tofuwabohu@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Did you check Mint recently? If it's been a while, it could also be dust buildup at the fan.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago

Its only been a few weeks, but I should give it a good blowout regardless.

I like iOS shortcuts. This week, I created an iOS shortcut to scan my Plex library. Now this may seem weird since there is an option to scan a library from the official Plex iOS app and there are also options to scan the library automatically or periodically. For various reasons (excuses), I didn't like that the official app only lets you scan one library at a time and I have automatic/periodic scans turned off to avoid network drive access, so I created the shortcut to scan from my phone any time I felt like I wanted to trigger it.

  1. Create a new iOS shortcut
  2. Add the "Get contents of URL" action
  3. Get your X-Plex-Token (see instructions on official website)
  4. Set the URL in your action to: https://{ip_address}:{port}/library/sections/all/refresh?X-Plex-Token={plex_token}

Dealing with a Ds-lite connection for a fiber optic provider in latest opnsense.

It is excruciating how difficult is to run it reliable
