Yeah, I bought the 3100 to support them and regretted that decision, unfortunately, when it came time to replace I was in a time crunch like you and wasn’t able to run my backups though a translation and it was taking way too long to do it manually so I had to just load pfSense and load the backup.
If I ever buy new hardware and the old isn’t dead though, I’m definitely going to try and make the shift away from it.
Right‽ Gotta love when people think that their opinion is the only one that matters.
Dude is making one board that’ll work for as many situations as possible and letting you decide what you want to do with it (and it’s right there in the name - future proof!), but somehow that is honestly too much.
For myself, I like having options.
Also, the official HA hardware also has an expansion port on it, think this guy complained about having that on there as being too much?
Q: What’s the difference between 10 million dollars and a billion dollars?
A: Roughly a billion dollars.
One of the mods said (in the article) that to their knowledge it’s mostly the paid admins removing it not the unpaid moderators.
haha, I love that I could help!
I’m typically listening to podcasts all day, myself to keep my sanity. I might add audiobooks to the rotation now though.
For the Bobiverse, I didn’t know it was originally a trilogy and book 4 was already out when I started, so I went in with a completely different lens. Overall I liked the 4th. For me though, once I get invested in a series, I’m generally happy to keep getting more unless it goes off the rails (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter being an example of one I really liked that went sideways). Overall though, I liked book 4 myself, it felt like a decent continuation of the story and felt like a bridge that was needed to continue the universe into the future.
Starter Villain wasn’t my favorite Scalzi, but I definitely liked it and it felt like a fresh concept and like most Scalzi, it’s enjoyable from start to finish. IIRC I read it in no more than 2 settings.
If you haven’t Read Kaiju Preservation Society, I would wholeheartedly recommend it. It’s not amazing literature, but, god damn was it a fun ride! It felt a bit like Redshirts, if you liked that one.
I’m currently listening to For We Are Many, the 2nd book in the Bobiverse series by Dennis E Taylor. I’d previously read them all, but the newest is currently only an audible exclusive, so I downloaded a copy and listened to it and loved it and am now listening to the rest of the series. Basic plot: a modern guy gets a service to freeze his brain upon death. He then does and is awoken and turned into a self replicating space probe and Earth goes into nuclear war and the probe tries to help where it can and explores. It’s a really good and fun read.
I’m also re-working my way through the Anne Rice Vampire series. Haven’t read them in a couple decades and wanted to get re-acquainted. currently on book 4. it’s crazy what you retain and what gets dropped after many years.
I’ve found some of the random $1 for a 9 e-book set books that Amazon offers haven’t been bad.
You mentioned Animorphs and thats one that I’ve got to give a re-read at some point. I get partway through another read through every couple of years. I’d love it if Katherine Applegate could re-work the series as an adult series. It’s so good.
Starter Villain by John Scalzi was also a great read earlier this year. Absolutely love Scalzi. Basic Plot: Poor guy inherits his Uncles evil villain organization and tries to navigate his way through the shenanigans that ensue.
How is it? I preordered but haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
I love their book club and wanted to support them and picked up a few of their books
Not sure on your first one, but the second was Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue
I just installed it and it’s working pretty well.
OIDC/SSO was easy to configure and I was able to do so before even signing in. I was able to proxy it with NPM quite easily too without needing to do anything special.
The only real problem I’m seeing so far is that if you have OIDC set up, there aren’t prompts to actually use it in the Android app and Firefox extensions and it still prompts for username and password instead. I got around that by creating an API key instead, but you wouldn’t think that’d be necessary.
I even imported all my Firefox bookmarks just to see how it’d handle it and it’s struggling, haha, but I think that’s likely going to be the AI auto tagging and my poor little Ollama server that’s only got a 1060 rather than it being a Hoarder issue, but linking it to the existing Ollama server was also quite easy!
Thanks for the share OP, I’ve tried putzing with Wallabag (didn’t like that they didn’t have SSO) and Linkwarden (couldn’t get it to work with NGINX or NPM), so this was refreshing with how easy it was to get up and running!
ETA: My primary usecase for this is going to just be shoving things I want to remember to look at on it rather than sending myself links to things constantly.
Things I think could be improved, but am not (yet?) annoyed enough by to even open an issue:
Interesting details. I’ve thought about Roku’s a few times and the app quality has always been the thing people seem to complain about, so I’ve just avoided them.
They have an ad plan and an ad-free plan for different costs. I personally couldn’t ever imagine myself paying for the privilege of watching ads (and I do pay for D+), but, ¯_(ツ)_/¯
D+ works fine for me on my old cheap Android box, my Nvidia SHIELD and our AppleTV, so I think the ‘slow and clunky’ part might be a Roku specific issue.
The app design choices though are a mess in other ways. There isn’t a ‘mark as watched’ option, so when it doesn’t mark that you watched something (which happens semi-frequently), it attempts to start you on an episode you’ve already watched and you’ve got to fast forward through it. It doesn’t have ‘continue watching’ so unless your show is brand new, you’ve gotta go through the menus to re-find the thing you’re watching. It’s “pretty” enough at first glance and looks good, but actual usability is not great at all.
Plex & Jellyfin definitely have the better experience, for sure.
Thats how I’ve done mine.
pfSense has an updater built in so that’s handled my home.mydomain.com entry for me for a long time and has handled updating duckdns too, even though it’s basically only a backup at this point.
If you’ve got a domain, no real reason to not just handle it yourself and avoid the headaches.

They each have their place imo, but I’d agree that A2A can definitely require more creativity and two people being on the same wavelength rather than CAH where the cards do almost all of the heavy lifting.
Don’t craft a well thought out response to someone John Brown would have shot [absolutely necessary for getting through the internet] and don’t give two weeks notice to a job that makes you miserable [absolutely necessary for leaving a shitty work situation].
Same, I have a Smart3 and Max3 and both have been great! The Smart3 came first and it made me absolutely hate my other printers because it just worked without me needing to mod it or fiddle with it.
For myself, I have an 8Pro, so I’m in general not all that interested until at least the 10 and then knowing it would just be a one-upsmanship of AI bullshit really made me not pay attention to its release at all :-\
Same for me, there was a temporary sidetrek to lemmy land, but like 'bin way more and deleted that account.
To me, that’s the purpose of a “homelab” not the purpose of self hosting. There’s a lot of overlap, but they’re not quite the same. Homelab has a goal of learning, but just self hosting doesn’t need to.
