After my #homelab machine died on Monday, today the PSU of one of my switches kicked the bucket. That is in addition to the already flaky WiFi repeater that keeps taking down my entire home network every few weeks for some reason.
Maybe I should really consider redoing my entire network with better hardware 😅. But I’m planning to wait until I need to buy a new router for the fiber connection I will hopefully be getting next year.
Still, I would really appreciate a week or two without tech issues.
Ich komme mir beim Basteln an den heimischen Storagesystemen mittlerweile fast vor wie ein Juwelier oder Goldschmied.
Ein falscher Handgriff und man versenkt gefühlt ein kleines Vermögen. Ich habe eben mal wieder die aktuellen Festplattenpreise gecheckt – wenn das so weitergeht, wandern die 3,5-Zoll-Platten demnächst nicht mehr ins externe Gehäuse oder NAS, sondern direkt ins Bankschließfach.

Well, since my #homelab server randomly died yesterday, I guess it’s time to find out how well the #homeassistant backup/restore system *actually* works in practice. Setting up a temporary HomeAssistant instance on an old Pi4 to make sure the house works again while waiting on the response by #Geekom on my warranty claim for the dead machine.
