    Even with all of their faults, Unifi gear has been very easy to manage for me. Now I'm eyeing their new 2u UPS and UNAS Pro. My current UPS is dying and isn't rack mounted, and my current NAS is a bit janky and is also not rack mounted.

    The eternal problem rears its ugly head here again though: $$$

              In 2026 gaat wederom de prijzen verhogen.

              Inmiddels vind ik met name (👀 😉) de domeinnamen prijzen niet meer in relatie staan tot de dienstverlening.

              Voor een VPS en opslag kijk ik nu naar in Duitsland, maar ik twijfel nog over domeinnamen.

                Alright fediverse, what is your favorite Software Forge + CI/CD? I haven't done much research, but it seems like Forgejo and Concourse are very popular and worth considering.

                I need something fairly minimal, but robust and uncomplicated from an admin perspective (GitLab is out, nothing but painful experiences in the past). I also will need to have it publicly accessible, which means a strong security track record is important.

                    Für mein nächstes Hardwareprojekt, werd ich wohl auch mal in die Welt von Raspberry Pi eintauchen.

                    Einmal für NAS/Mediaserver mit Jellyfin und einmal als Pi-Hole.

                    Sollte wohl beides auf einem Gerät machbar sein. Wobei ich wahrscheinlich für HDDs einen Festplattenhub mit eigener Stromversorgung brauche. 🤔

                    Aber alles in allem günstiger als eine NAS Komplettlösung mit proprietärer Software.

                        My P1P in the basement is now controlled by AI. This works crazily good.

                        On print start it checks when the first layer is done, pauses the printer, checks the image. If all is good, print is resumed and checked at increasing intervals.

                        On any fails, 2 more checks are done after each 2 minutes. If I get three strikes (6 min failed print time) the print is paused and I get a message.

                        If print behaves again (false positive) we back up with the check gradually after.

                        So far it stopped 2 prints that went over night, and both truly failed.

                                It's clean, intuitive, has multi-user support and many other neat features.

                                I liked the idea of a simple capture without tying the "captured thing" as a task but just... here's a thought you had, what would you like to do about it?

                                Kinda like this Inbox of things you thought of.

                                  Pssst! BoxyConnect comes soon to @BoxyBSD!

                                  BoxyConnect allows you to create a private network / private link between multiple boxes at BoxyBSD. And the best? You can even create this over different locations/countries to provide you more flexibility.

                                  You can simply assign any RFC1918 addresses on your new additional network interface on both sites and communicate in your own private network - even miles away.

                                  This feature is currently in beta and will hopefully be available to everyone (just like all other services of course for free). Enjoy !

                                  This new feature is powered by @gyptazy!
