I believe that this is the key. Some people consider a text message syncronous and other asyncronous. I remember using text as some evolution of MSN messenger, and my friends did as well, so it was syncronous, but as time has passed and I'm more bussy, i now see it more like email, so asyncronous.

There are still times where both individuals are online and the asyncronous texting becomes syncronous, but it has become more the exception than the rule.

I'm running truenas scale with truecharts and I manage all users and groups with the LLDAP chart, which is an stripped down version of ldap. I'm considering deploying another server and running 389ds with replication to increase the features and to learn more about ldap, but overall lldap covers all my necessities regarding user and group managment in all my homelab apps

TrueNAS scale with truecharts for my main server. I'm considering rolling out a compute only server with openSUSE microOS to leave trueNAS only for storage. I like openSUSE philosophy and microOS with cockpit seems solid on my tests. I might start with some old laptops and deploy the ldap server there to test it and remove that responsability from TrueNAS.

Merry Christmas! I've had God of War in my wishlist forever! I remember playin the OG in the PS2 and Chain of Olympus in PSP and I loved them. I would love to repeat the experience in this PC remake :)

If you've used an espresso machine you will know that every single small change, even new fresh beans, fucks up the setup and you have to dial everything again, so I think it fits better with another one. I use arch btw.

I've been reading the whole thing expecting the moment you've forget about it for a week and then come back obsessively, but every few lines you remember me that you are still on meds, and I can't wrap my mind around having ADHD and being able to focus on a task for so long. I hope my doctor calls me soon to start at least the diagnosis...

A heatpump is a device that moves heat from one place to other.

It subtracts heat in one side (cools that side) and dumps it in the other (heats that other side).

We have already those devices available to install at home, and are commonly known as Air Conditioning.

The inside unit grabs the heat (cools the room) and the outside unit dumps the heat.

Those same devices are now reversible, so they are able to grab heat from the outside unit, and dump it in the room (heats the room).

Router with Homeassistant (self.selfhosted)
submitted 2 years ago by alomsimoy to c/selfhosted
 

I want to build a x86 small form factor computer in order to run the router and home assistant on it, and I'm looking for the best solution:

At first I though on setting up HaOS as a router and using a dhcp plugin on homeassistant, but is a very barebones setup without much advanced networking capabilities. Also I didn't find a way to easily setup WAN.

Then I though I could set up a hypervisor and run a router OS like VyOS or openwrt and HaOS. I know proxmox, but maybe there are lighter hypervisor more capable of delivering this setup.

And finally I though that I could use openwrt and install (either natively or via docker) homeassistant on it. This currently seems like the less headachy way, but I could be totally wrong.

I can't find much documentation on either of those methods, so I'm asking to you what would you do, and if somebody is using a similar setup, to share some insights.

Fairphone 4, I won't go back to non-repairable ones

My cast iron pans. There is no way that thing will break ever, and with a little bit of maintenance it works great!

Fairphone 4, and after a while using it I don't think I'll go back to mainstream non-repairable phones anymore
