I use a mixture of tailscale and zerotier. Both are pretty powerful.

Hi, I'm trying to pass an HD770 from a i5-14600K to a jellyfin container that's on Open Media Vault. I keep thinking I have the correct firmware downloaded but I guess that's not the case.

The GPU is fully passed through via Proxmox.

M.2 SSDs for Laptops (programming.dev)

submitted 3 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

2 comments fedilink

So back a few years ago the SK hynix Gold P31 was the GOAT for laptops due to the low idle wattages and low usage wattages. This allowed you to squeeze about 10% extra battery life out of your laptop.

Is that still considered the best M.2 drives for laptops in terms of power usage?

5G/LTE on the go (programming.dev)

I was poking around for a USB C 5G/LTE modem that I can run either off my laptop or plug into my router as a secondary WAN. Has anyone messed with something like this?

The secondary WAN is common, but I usually need some sort of DC power input instead of a single USB C cable that I can put into my laptop.

Arkansas Gov. and Trump supporter Sarah Huckabee Sanders begs Trump to reverse a decision she endorsed. by randombullet in c/[email protected]

Video: ‘When I saw the devastation, I just went back home and cried,’ Tornado in Cave City leaves town torn apart

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is asking a federal agency to reverse its decision about storm victims in the state.

The governor’s office said in a Friday statement that Sanders is appealing to FEMA to reverse its decision to deny the Arkansas Major Disaster Declaration for individual and public assistance. The declaration was for the storms and tornadoes that crossed the state on March 14 and 15. Arkansas to appeal federal denial for individual assistance after March 14 storms

The governor’s office statement said the following counties are in the original request: Baxter, Stone/Sharp, Hempstead, Independence/Randolph, Sharp/Randolph, Nevada, Independence/Jackson, Randolph/Clay, Woodruff, Clay, and Greene counties.

“Arkansas communities are still recovering from this spring’s tornadoes, as the sheer magnitude of this event resulted in overwhelming amounts of debris, widespread destruction to homes and businesses, the tragic loss of three lives, and injuries to many others,” The governor said. “To relieve the burden on these counties, cities, and towns, I am appealing FEMA’s decision to deny Arkansas’ Major Disaster Declaration request.” Noem says she plans to ‘eliminate FEMA’

Sanders requested the Major Disaster Declaration relief on April 2. On April 18, she asked for a 30-day extension of time.

Just exposed Immich via a remote and reverse proxy using Caddy and tailscale tunnel. I'm securing Immich using OAuth.

I don't have very nerdy friends so not many people appreciate this.

What's your favorite unbelievable fact? by randombullet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 59 points 6 months ago

Consider a dam that is 10m tall

Then consider the height of water behind that dam is 5m tall.

Does the dam need to be built stronger if the water behind it is 1 km long?

How about only 500m?

How about 1m?

The answer is, it doesn't matter. Water exerts pressure equally regardless of how much water is behind it.

Therefore a graduated cylinder that is 10m tall needs to resist the same amount of force as a dam 10m tall regardless of how much water is behind the dam. Even a thin sliver of water 1mm thick and 5m tall has the same force as a 5m lake behind the dam.

Incompressible fluids are pretty insane

I still don't understand why this isn't a 2.5G WAN and 2.5G LAN. Is it assuming that people are going to be using it as a router on a stick with a 1G WAN?

An Open Source Mirrorless Camera You’d Want To Use by randombullet in c/[email protected]

With camera sensors being so good, the major differences will be autofocus capabilities.

Imagine an open source autofocus algorithm that people can use their own photos locally so that it can focus on your shooting style.

20-Year-Old Dies From 'Fried Rice Syndrome' After Eating Leftover Pasta by randombullet in c/[email protected]

5 days without putting it into the fridge? That's asking for trouble.

I feel comfortable about 2-4 hours without a fridge, but I've occasionally left rice out 12 hours a few times with no issues. Same with pasta.

Proxmox rebuild (programming.dev)

submitted 10 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

10 comments fedilink

Greetings fellow enthusiasts.

I'm going to rebuild my proxmox server and would like to have a few opinions.

First thing is I use my server as a NAS and then run VMs off that.

I have 2 x 20tb in ZFS mirror but I'm planning on changing that to 3 x 24tb in ZFS1.

I currently have a ZFS pool in proxmox and then add that pool to Open Media Vault.

Issue is, if my OMV breaks and I'll have to create another VM, I'm pretty sure all that data would become inaccessible to my OMV.

I've heard of people creating a NFS in proxmox and then passing it through to OMV?

Or should I get HMB cards and then just pass it through the VM and then just run it natively within OMV. I'd need to install the ZFS kernal into OMV as well.

Would like to hear some options and tips.

You can call me a shill,

But I just get an Anker Prime 27,650mAh battery bank because it supports 140w PD.

Lasts my wife and myself a 4 hours flight with maybe 30% left over.

I got it because it can charge my laptop as well.

Steam deck is 40Whr and the battery is nearly 100Whr.

So you'll get 2.5 times longer playing time with it.

SD cards finally expected to hit 4TB in 2025 by randombullet in c/[email protected]

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago

I can't fathom a good reason for 4TB SD cards.

Most cameras have CF Express which is probably 5-8 times faster.

Even UHS-III is 600MB/s while CF Express Type B is hitting 4GB/s.

Even so, why would you risk 4TB of data on removable storage.

CF Express is also running PCI-E. This article isn't talking about SD Express.

Inventorying high value items with receipts (programming.dev)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

21 comments fedilink

Is there a FOSS program where I can inventory my high value items in case there is an insurance claim?

I was thinking of the item, the picture of the item and serial number, maybe the UPC, and then an attachment of the receipt.

I'm guessing some kind of database that integrates file attachments per item.
