My 3D printer: Prusa i3 MK3S+, completely open-source Firmware and mechanical design. I have made many customization and upgrades over the years. It started as a MK3 model, I upgraded it to MK3S and then MK3S+. Today I could upgrade it to MK3.5 or MK3.9 but I don’t see the necessity at the moment.

This helps me to upgrade and repair many things around the house that would otherwise be expensive to fix or would otherwise get thrown away.

Assuming 5.5% interest (low end of rates right now) and a 25 year amortization

Where is that ? That seems crazy high to me. I bought last year in Germany, at a “bad time” and my interest rate is 3.4% fixed for 10 years.

Be careful before uploading your config files to a public location like GitHub, you don’t want to inadvertently publish some secrets like passwords, API keys and such. A copy to an external drive should do the trick just fine as a starting point.

If you would be sailing, it would probably have the less impact on the environment. But a Diesel powered ferry ? I have no idea how it compares to air flight. The train is probably better than both ferry and plane in this case.

I’ve definitely heard a lot about arranged marriage from colleagues and friends from India.

I am from West Europe and currently living in Germany where I have met my wife on a dating app.

Additional stuff you may be interested in:

Caddy for reverse proxy (accessing your services with a nice URL instead of IP address and port numbers)

PiHole for DNS-level ad-blocking and other useful router functionality

Look for a backup solutions for your config files, maybe you can handle this at Proxmox level but I don’t have experience with that.

Do you have a good alternative to recommend? I also found that lidarr sorta sucks compared to sonarr and radarr

• what you use for your documentation

Markdown files

• how you organize it

What ?

• what information you include

The commands that worked and the stuff that didn’t work and the links to the source of information

• how you work documentation into your changes

I write as I go. I keep it as part of a git repository when relevant

The Last of Us (I and II)

BTRFS has plenty of features for data integrity, auto-correction, scrubbing, snapshots. I haven’t studied in details the differences with ZFS, I just went with BTRFS because the setup is fairly simple, it’s flexible and it does what I need.

Personally, I use BTRFS in RAID10 config. I don’t need crazy performance and my NAS is pretty low power with only 8GB of RAM (use to be 4GB on my previous setup).

It is taller than me standing up

Nothing wrong with wanting a web interface, but for an experienced Linux user, there is no issue going without one.

This creepy looking thing. Yes, it moves.

Plain, good old Debian. It’s not that big of a deal to do all the config in console via SSH. You do it once and you’re done, so is the web interface that important?

Hi! I recently started with home automation myself. Despite already having a home server, I decided to get a dedicated Raspberry Pi 5 4GB to run home assistant by itself. OpenHAB should work just as well on the RPi5.

I’ve got Zigbee and Matter over Thread connectivity using 2x Aeotec Zi-Stick dongles, one flashed with OpenThread firmware, instructions on their forum. It was not the best solution to use the same dongle for both protocols as it’s recognized with the same device name in Home Assistant and I had to use my Linux skills to work around that. You can easily get 2 zigbee dongles from different brands, check ahead which ones provide an easy OpenThread flashing solution. I think the Sonoff dongle is another one of these.

Kaamelott is a good French short format comedie series. Most of the humor is based on puns, word plays and quiproquo, it would be absolutely impossible to translate and it wouldn’t be funny to anyone who isn’t absolutely fluent in French. No need to thank me for this useless recommendation.

Interesting flex. Apollo Guidance Computer was working with Metric SI units internally.

Calculations were carried out using the metric system, but display readouts were in units of feet, feet per second, and nautical miles – units that the Apollo astronauts were accustomed to.

⅓m is 1.093504 feet or 13.12205 inch. I don’t see how it’s more convenient.
