I contract that out to my dogs, they go out and source the finiest dusts for networking diagnostics

Haha I need more Patch cables to get rid of those long ones. Also when I opened up the cabinet for this Pic I noticed the left fan isn’t dusty like the rest so it might be dead x_x

My 12u setup On top I have two pi’s; home assistant and pihole The ONT for fiber, hue bridge, and hdhomerun.

I’m not sure. I only recently switched to Linux and was thinking of trying ondsel but haven’t really looked into it further. But I also still have a windows vm on my server with sketchup 2017 in case I need to do anything with that to convert my sketch up projects

Sketch up or an easy cad program so you can easily measure your stuff and the rooms to find ways to fit your furniture. I used sketch up when I moved and just a top down 2d quick line drawing of our house. Then measured our furniture as objects and moved them around to see where we could fit and what direction to put our bed etc

Host steam-headless and use the GPU for that so you can have remote gaming on your phone anywhere you have 5G

You can also run a free cloudflare tunnel. It’s what I us3 so I don’t have to open a port for my nextcloud but still want it to be able to sync to my phone while not on vpn

For email and calendar I’D probably look into proton. For other software tools i would start with services people like that you don’t have to manage other than be like the admin and as you go try and find alternatives and self host your own and teat it out. Maybe even something like digital ocean where you can just spin up a droplet that’s presetup for you and learn more and more until you’re comfortable to transition other people to it

I was just thinking about my free oracle server if it would be good for my own lemmy instance?

Have you checked out grav https://learn.getgrav.org/17/basics/what-is-grav

https://github.com/getgrav/grav

I use it just to make simple markdown sites for info like my gaming servers or if I feel like making a random blog post

I setup nextcloud and just use that to backup my Obsidian notes. But I also use next cloud deck depending on the type of notes or list I’m making

I’ve been using it for almost a year now and it works great. I used to just use a spread sheet to track my bills paychecks and due dates but this made it much nicer

Nice try fbi you’re not getting me that easy to give up my keys

I recently started getting my drives from serverpartdeals 3.5". The refrubs seem to work great for my use case of just media. I have a second unraid server that is just 2.5" ssd’s and 4 nvme’s that I use for my personal files and photos since it’s a much smaller and low power build I can stuff a bunch in a mini itx case so 2.5" is great for that

I use it to sync all my photoshop projects and documents from my different machines to my server and to have access to those files from my phone , it’s the first thing I install when I do a fresh install of my os since everything I use is there

Just download the GBs when you get home

Oh it’s probably vacuum sealed then so it doesn’t condensate

How do you keep them from sticking onto cups

You can link them together at least that’s how the discord and matrix chats are for our instance are. I can chat from discord and get replies from people in matrix
