I’m running pfsense with wireguard site to site connection between 2 locations. Vlan for my mqtt for my meshtastic. I did have an ad blocker on it but I found it wasn’t very good. It was blocking too many things.

Switched to Adguard on my Proxmox instead.

Oh true. It’s a 8 bay NAS with 5 spinning drives. And 2 nvmes The gaming PC is an i7 12th gen with 63GB ram and a 3070ti.

Too much.

38watts and spikes to 65watts from my Synology. My gaming laptop turn proxmox can spike to 350watts but normally sits at 50-75watts.

I’m the lead dev at my job. I started using a self hosted software because it was available to me without asking for budget. We used it for about 8 months and during budgeting, I decided to add this self hosted software to my teams budget because the self hosted software grew to the point where I didn’t want to manage it anymore.

Whoa man. You ok?

My PC just programmed all the units in my mesh in around 5 minutes. It would have likely taken longer trying to fix the USB connector. I should figure out how to fix this edge case so I don’t have to take my old PC out again.

Counter argument. What is the goal of owning a computer in the first place? Needing to do “a bit of work” with the OS or actual work.

I don’t want to be a Linux developer. I want to do work. Sometimes I feel like I’m too much developer.

I creating my Meshtastic network and was having trouble setting a node with the right settings and wanted to plug in the unit into my Lenovo laptop running Fedora installed from the factory.

I click serial connection. The web app recognized the connection. Click connect. Failed. Tried different plugs and ports. Failed. Searched online and I need to do a bunch of things in terminal to get it to work properly.

Normally I would spend a few hours figuring it out. Instead…

Pulled out my 15 year old PC running win10. Plugged in, instantly worked.

I reeeeally want this to be my primary laptop, but man. I am just struggling on some basic things.

Hi, is there shared notes with family members? If both family members are on the same file, does it live update?

Don’t use sms. Use the home assistant notify skill. It will notify my phone using the notify.notify skill.

But if I’m going to do 3 pings for the direction of the pings, then I gotta figure out a different solution.

Ohhhhhh fantastic idea!!

Little known feature on Home Assistant is the ability to have any phone who has home assistant installed to be able to use it as a trigger. So you can see things like battery left and gps location. I have an automations that will ping the last location of my family members when the phone hits 2% power so I can see their last location right before the phone dies.

I use mine as a home assistant dashboard.
