An die Funktionalitäten eines Home-Servers gewöhnt man sich schnell. Wenn er mal nicht mehr wäre, wäre dass echt ein Rückschritt. Auf adguard, Home Assistant, Stirling Pdf, Mediawiki, Joplin, Samba, Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Wireguard und zig Automationsskripte möchte ich nicht mehr verzichten.

Fuck me, I’ve done it! My son’s #AppleWatch now has a new working speaker and apparently new fresh battery!🫣

I still need to glue in the display, but I want to first test if all the stuff is working. There is sound, new speaker is fine. Need to test calls!

#Apple #HomeIT

Right… So, the #Proxmox is running nice. I have found a spare 2T hard drive (2,5”, 5400rpm, unfortunately), but it will have to do for now.

Now I need to plan on how to migrate #HomeAssistant to a #HAOS VM. I have tested backup import and most of my things were surprisingly there. I’m reluctantly thinking about moving the #Zigbee dongle, but… Not sure how it’s gonna go with #HomeKit integration. I have easy over 80 devices…🤡

I still need some kind of redundand storage…

#SmartHome #HomeIT

Damn! #Proxmox on x86_64 is dope as fuck!

I regret buying #RaspberryPi5 and running things with Docker on Raspbian.

I need storage, STAT!😅

Deployed test Ubuntu and #HomeAssistant OS. HaOS - restored backup and it looks promising. I don't it to become permanent with temporary setup, though...😅

Just a moment ago almost had a heart attack. I wanted to update #HomeAssistant #Docker container via #CasaOS. Selected the wrong version, so I immediately kicked it back to "latest" and...

IT DISAPPEARED...😂

Quick "docker ps" command has showed it's indeed no longer running.

Fortunately, the config has been persistent, so I just installed it again and it works... Phew...

Imagine my #ADHD frustration and need to rebuild it all RIGHT NOW...😅

Packet Switching Tooters!

One more poll. (Late, sorry.) Do you use jumbo frames on your home LAN?

Boost for increased throughput. And see the other two polls in this thread.

Yes. I enable jumbo frames.

Wi-Fi-using Tooters!

Do you have a Wi-Fi LAN at home? What generation is it? (The most common type, if you have more than one)

Boost for reduced packet loss. Also see the Ethernet poll in this thread.

Ethernet-using Tooters!

Do you have an Ethernet LAN at home? How fast is it? (The most common speed on your LAN, however you define it.)

Boost for improved packet latency. Also see the Wi-Fi poll in this thread

Ok... I've got my brain tickled... Now my newly installed #Arch does what #Ubuntu did - mostly run idle and sometimes run a game.

The benefit is, I can now also run a new version of #Hyprland. I must say after enough time one can get used to all sorts of polished turds...😅

I have even found a suitable theme and moulded it a bit to my liking...

Time for today's edition of "what went wrong with the computers today"…
When I sat down at my computer this morning, the Windows 11 upgrade I kicked off yesterday had indeed failed as I had suspected it was going to <https://federate.social/@jik/115069952179945603>, but not in the way I expected. My VM was on the boot screen with the spinning Windows booting animation, and on top of that was a pop-up: "Please insert external drive".

Attached: 1 image I'm suspecting that it's going to be at 15% when I go to sleep tonight and it's still going to be at 15% when I wake up tomorrow morning. That is, I think this upgrade is fucked. It's a good thing I did the upgrade on a clone of the VM. If it fails I can throw away the failed VM, make another clone, and try again (which will, no doubt, fail again. 😡).
