Snipe-it ... I've been using forma a while to track my IT equipmente. Dies a Hood job. Didnt know about Homebox. Just checked the demo. It appears to be what I've been looking for for years now. Will try it soon. Very much developed by single person. I but risky if development is dropped but then CSV export at least saved the data that can be imported into spreadsheet

 

Hi, I have two Dell T110 ii. One, with more ram and slightly faster CPU acts as main server. I have it running as NFS server, one VM with a couple of services and two apps (nextcloud and immich). Happy with the setup but worried about hardware of main server failing given age. So I have replication set up (pulls from slave to main). The dataset structure is the same. Is it a matter of installing the same apps and VM on slave, load the config of main onto slave and then just leave it to replication to keep the two machines cloned? I switch on slave only on Sundays to allow replication activity. It is some form of backup I guess, although not perfect.

I'm not into ebooks that much and don't have experience with them. I still prefer paper. I've just been totally put off by all the bad stuff I've read about DRM etc. Is it really a problem and how do these tools that you mention above cope with them. I'm one of those that often annotates with pencil in the books I read. Can you annotate DRM protected content with Open Source tools?

This is good to know. I have my OS on nvram and my data pool on a disk array. If u lose a disk on the pool, zfs should take care of that. If I lose the os disk or is gets corrupt, then based on what u say above, it should be easy enough to reinstall Truenas scale on new nvram, import the pool and then import the last config file to setup all the shares which otherwise would have to be setup manually from scratch. Does that sound right?

Hey, I like this comment. It lists most of the actions I've taken over the last few years. I'm glad I'm not fueling AI training anymore with my data. GrapheneOS my latest migration after using /e/ for a few years. So happy. Notesnook is new to me. Looks interesting although still unclear to me if there is some business model behind. How are these guys making a living?

That is what i meant

I agree. I bought 2nd hand pixel 5 just to install GrapheneOS

Fairphone is going to be my next phone although likely to be second hand, as all the phones I have used to date. Recycle, recycle and recycle is my motto.

Presumably Roku spies on you too? Better to installato one of those linux based OSes that you can even install on a Pi

Cheers for that. I need pro tip 2 then 😄 because I still can't work out why the search on my lemdro.id instance only pulls up locale instances despite me fully declaring the community address as [email protected]

Shouldn't it be searching across all instances? I'm using Jerboa as an android client.

I agree. We want both. Its like water consumption needs which keep increasing. We want to reduce demand and increase leakage reduction rather than take more water out of the environment. We're making a mess of this planet because our lives are based on the assumption of eternal growth.

Well, I don't want to bore people here with all my Truenas posts 😀 I installed a few weeks ago and still on a steep learning curve. Given that I'm off Reddit now, I need a community to support me. Also, as I've just joined Lemmy, I would need to work out how I create a new Truenas community. Presumably that can only happen on my instance and presumably I will need tone graced by the instance admin ... Wow, lots of hard work 😅

 

I thought would ask here (just joined the Lemmy world) but surely there must be a truenas community somewhere on the Lemmy world? Any Truenas users here?
