Now when my #SynologyNAS is off and all family photos and files are in #iCloud, I’m replacing WD Green with WD Red in my DIY NAS. One by one, because they are in a #ZFS mirror.

Proxmox 9.0 mit debian 13 veröffentlicht
Nicht selten findet sich im #Smarthome ein (kleiner) #Homeserver, der neben #HomeAssistant, #openHAB oder #iobroker noch das eine oder andere Tool mehr hostet. Und bei Vielen stellt #Proxmox den technischen Unterbau.
Mit dem Sprung auf PVE 9.0 ziehen u.a. der Linux-Kernel 6.14.8-2 und zahlreiche andere Updates ein.

I was running out of space on my home server's storage, so I purchased two new larger hard disks which I'm going to replace the previous ones with. These are not boot disks, and I'm thinking of trying #ZFS on them, with a simple 1+1 mirror. I've read up some introductory guides, so I more or less have an idea about what I'm supposed to do, but are there any caveats that the Fediverse would like to share before I dive in?
Every now and then I get antsy for a new tech project. Been having that urge recently. And I also started thinking about how my Lenovo Tiny based #Plex Server is facing the Windows 10 end of support situation soon and how I want a #PrivateCloud. So it’s come to this: a #MacMini #HomeServer Project #Nextcloud #NAS #M4MacMini #macOS #MacServer #MacServers
How to Use a Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q as a Powerful Home Server
As an IT enthusiast, I’ve long been (and still are!) a fan of the #RaspberryPi mini computers. My main Pi already runs multiple services like #PiHole, #Navidrome and #Jellyfin – which often pushes it near its limits. Well, recently I found myself wanting to add even more services to my local network. Unfortunately, my NAS can’t host Docker containers, so expanding compute power became necessary.

Wer weg von den üblichen Cloud-Diensten will und gerne selbst ein wenig bastelt, sollte sich mal #yunohost anschauen.
Ein interessantes Projekt rund um den eigenen #homeserver
Hallo ich bin #neuhier und melde mich, weil etwas teilen möchte.
Als alter ITler möchte ich ein Skript teilen, dass dem (Home-)Admin das Leben erleichert, wenn wieder mal ein "curl" oder "wget" bei der Verifizierung eines Zertifikats (#SSL / #TLS) scheitert.
Das kommt nicht so oft vor, deswegen hatte ich immer vergessen was zu tun ist, wenn es mal wieder so weit war.
Das Script prüft welche Zertifikate fehlen, lädt sie herunter, so dass man sie ggf. in die Liste der CAs (certification authorities) aufnehmen kann. Wie das geht, steht in meiner dazugehörigen Doku.
Vielleicht einfach mal sehen, ob ihr es brauchen könnt.
Natürlich #opensource, beschrieben auf https://github.com/himbeer-toni/UserScripts/blob/main/fetch-missing-ca.md, da wäre dann auch ein Downloadlink.
Würde mich freuen, wenn es jemandem hilft!

Finished two of these today.
This is a Raspberry Pi Zero (green), a small tiny Linux computer running Debian (SSH only, no GUI/monitors). The Pi Zero is wired into a GPS Antenna (pink square) which is in a black weatherproof case and then that case is bolted to the garage's ceiling so it can get GPS Satellite Signals.
There's two of these devices bolted to the garage ceiling, then it's given an ethernet connection.
These two nodes get reception from 9-12 GPS Satellites, each satellite has a super-accurate atomic clock inside. So these Pis are getting accurate clocks (down to the nanosecond level, apparently) and that is distributed to my home network's devices and servers.
Now I can ensure all my stuff (Servers, VMs, devices) gets accurate/synchronized time from two sources I can check and control and not rely on whatever weird source NTP Pool provides.
Also keeps the clocks synced if the internet goes down for any reason.
Hello Fedizens,
One way to fulfill #unplugtrump is to setup own timeserver in the local network.
Some people had questions, when you have VPN to your local network which has no public websites and platforms.
Is it necessary to enable SSL on local network?
If yes, are there tutorials to enable SSL with IP addresses or servernames? We aware that administration requires experts and skills on a special grade of complexity, but this is something beginners could handle.
Some Apps like smart homes, local clouds, Multi apps like ferdium deny self signed certificates.
Sitting in public transit yesterday, I dug out my #FoldableKeyboard to my lap, paired it with my #Fairphone, opened a terminal command line app #Termux, connected to my #RaspberryPi #SelfHosting #HomeServer and updated its software remotely on the go. All #SecondHand #Reused #Refurbished #Computers & #Electronics.
No real need for the #Portable keyboard nor remote access here, just felt like trying it out for fun, and for a brief moment, it felt like I was leading a #Solarpunk lifestyle.

Ich habe testweise mal #Anubis über meine absolut unbenutzte Seite https://pascal-leinert.de drübergeklatscht. Theoretisch bräuchte man dafür ja kein #Cloudflare mehr, aber welche Alternative gibt es dafür bezüglich der Maskierung der Heimnetz IP, außer einem VPS zu nutzen? Eine DDoS Attacke darauf kann ich nicht gebrauchen.

Hat jemand eine Ahnung, wie man die 17W erreichen soll? Ich liege eher bei 25-27W ohne nennenswerte Setup-Abweichungen und stehe nicht allein da: https://www.heise.de/forum/c-t/Kommentare-zu-c-t-Artikeln/Heim-Server-im-Selbstbau/Erreiche-die-17-Watt-nicht-nur-27-Watt/posting-44377482/show/
Alles mögliche probiert bis hin zum Downgrade auf dieselbe BIOS-Version aus dem Artikel, hilft alles nix.

Looking for a dedicated GPU for #transcoding purposes turned out to be the worst rabbit hole.
So, I'm using a AMD Ryzen 4600G in my homelab featuring #ProxmoxVE. The hardware transcoding capabilities of AMD hardware is very much behind Nvidia and #Intel, even though it isn't half as bad as expected. Anyway, the best transcoding hardware (best quality at same size/profile) are Intel devices featuring #QuickSync. Setting up another dedicated transcoding device (featuing a low power Intel APU such as the #N100) device doesn't seem to make much sense for me. There are several Intel Arc GPUs on the market and they all have pretty much the same transcoding capabilities, so I'd like to get the Intel GPU featuring the lowest power draw, especially when idling. (1/?)
