It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

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.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

If hardware service counts. :) I have been fighting for the last few months with my Promxox server telling me a drive went read only , from a SSD and even a HDD, very odd behavior and it finally pulled the last straw with me last Thursday. I had a 4TB drive acting as my Storage/backup drive which this complained about so I put a 1TB drive in which is pretty much 2 yrs old so plenty of life on it.

I went through and tested the SSD with extended tests and it passed with flying colors, so it dawned on me, maybe it's the SATA data cable, and sure enough, it was. When I had run the sudo smartctl -x -T permissive /dev/sdb it only presented very little information on it, swapping the cable and it now presents the full SMART data and stats as it should. Additionally, it's been more stable with the performance so far. So I call that a win.

In the software side, I have been going through the Home Assistant instance and removing dead/old entities I never had gotten to removing

I dealt with a lot of time sinks like this running on consumer hardware. I got a Dell R720 and those problems all went away. Now I have a power and cooling problem. :D
