Fellow homelabbers, especially those of you with mini PC clusters…:
Do you run a UPS?
How does one go about sizing?

Periodic reminder for people interested in #HomeLab
There is a @… bot that replaces the old gup.pe homelab bot.
Mention it in your homelab posts and it will boost them. Follow it to see all the homelab posts it boosts that may not normally get federated to your instance.
I'm in Australia right now. I can boot my home PC via Wake On LAN to access my files if I have to. I placed a webcam in front of it so that I can verify that it actually does so.
It's weird seeing my computer 16.500 km away from me. It feels like my own little Mars mission. Especially with how SSH feels at 300-400 ms latency.
And yes, that's a drinking glass I forgot on my desk.

Hi @… !
It happened: my raspberry pi is too small for my homelab. What would you recommend I upgrade to?
I heard mini PCs are all the rage, but where to start? Any good guides available?
#selfHosting
Ran into a weird issue with macOS and iTerm 2 while experimenting with #talos over the weekend.
Short version: I had to quit iTerm, reset the local network security permission for it and restart it before I could run talosctl from my a session in iTerm. Maddeningly it was working from a session in Terminal.app
The long version is at #homelab #iterm2
Nothing like hanging out with the family for Thanksgiving. My social battery ran out early with 20 people in the house, but all of my homelab work prepared me for this moment: Tailscale and `mpv` while I chill and watch some videos.

Since I'm shutting down lanecloud, there's a few tiny things I need to re-home.
Did you know that the ultimate homelab challenge is to not deploy clustered and HA services, when you know how to do it?

DNS. It's always DNS. Nextcloud server down? No... It's just DNS. *sigh*

Heads up for the #homelab / #selfhosting community: #minio has gone source-only and will no longer build new docker images, and the latest version of the image contains an 8.1/10 privilege escalati…
Decided to give Postgresus a go for managing my DB backups and monitoring. Connected Vaultwarden and Immich's DBs to it, have them backing up to Backblaze B2 for offsite backups, and connected email and Discord notifications just in case the DBs eat themselves somehow. The backups work pretty well, gonna see how things go with it.

I had not planned on touching the #homelab today but gitea has gone and forgejo is in

I'm setting up a talos cluster to tinker with at home and want to use my Synology for persistent volume storage.
I set up the NFS nfs-subdir-external-provisioner on my talos cluster and documented how at #talos #kubernetes #k8s #homelab #nfs @…
got to spend some time tinkering with my router today...
added Podman, bpftune and a Podman rustnet wrapper to clammy-ng.
rustnet is pretty cool. It's a nice blend between iftop, tshark, and something decent to look at. I hope they can add some more robust filtering. They recently added some eBPF support, but its hard for me to tell what its being used for.

Lost a rook ceph node this week, most likely power supply related. Moved the drives to another shell, boot and back in business 😃
Now to work out what has failed and why……
