While I agree with you,

As the main Dev of PieFed, a platform that will hopefully replace conventional social media in the future, and have millions of users. Consider using an Alt-Account for anything relating to politics.

There are timelines where PieFed makes it big, hitting millions of users, and political comments like this could be used by bots and competitors to paint PieFed in a negative light.

Look no further than the damage Lemmy dev’s views have caused them.

If you have the money for it, buy a dedicated mini PC for Home Assistant and run it on bare metal, you can get one for 65€ from AliExpress.

Having the thing that controls your lights & temperature etc. Separate from everything else is nice

Nice I love it!!

I also have a “messy” setup like this, looking forward to 3D printing a case and then creating a cooling solution for it

Cloudflare makes it pretty easy and is free (or close to free)

Your friends should know that you can see their photos if you wanted to though.

Same is true if they save stuff at Google etc. who every owns the server can see their media.

Unless it has E2E encryption

Thats nice but I wish it had E2E encryption.

I don’t like that I can see everyone’s photos that use my immich server.

Not that I’d look, but I can if I wanted to, and that’s why I only use my server for family

Consider ODROID

I run TrueNAS on mine

Not gona lie, I’m very tempted it’ll get me lots of Internet points, and definitely a few haters

Thanks. ODROID allows 4 drives with sata, it’s a really nice solution.

You could attach even more with using nvme

Thanks!!

It’s a 10 Euro fan controller, that I’m temporarily using till I can build my own with ESP32

Paradox of tolerance

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

Very much so, but I do enjoy gross overkill.

I’ll build them into a future case then they won’t be as overkill

The other HDD I have is a WD Gold, it’s definitely the louder of the two, both of them are ~5 years old. Now that I moved the databases off of them, they are quieter than my work laptop, so they don’t bug me.

But oh boy, it really did sound like a train yard at one point.

It’s 3 SATA power cables yes, plugged into the H4+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-plus/

It looks like a PSU, but it’s actually just a case for the odroid H4+ https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-h4-case-type-1/

The one is a Iron Wolf, the other is a WD Gold, both of which are ~5 years old, they were LOUD when I had a database running on them. They are now a lot quieter than my work laptop so they don’t bug me anymore.

Thanks for the advice, I really like these solutions I’ll definitely look into them

Thanks <3

I’m going to go with the Sovol SV06 Plus ACE , I’m a big advocate for Open Source, so anything that requires proprietary software isn’t really an option for me.

I live in a tiny apartment, so my biggest hurdle with getting a 3D printer right now is space.

A lesson I learnt along the way:

HDD’s on your desk are loud AF when you’re constantly writing to a database
Solution: Everything except backups and Media run on SSD’s

That would be amazing thanks, I’ve barely worked with Arduino but I just ordered a starter kit to play around with and learn.

Good point, I found this: Tutorial - How to control a PWM fan with an ESP32 and Home Assistant ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-AZF6udg-Q ) I’m just going to do that but with more fans
