Interesting stuff, thanks.

This is the answer. Find your UUID with “blkid” and mount it in fstab with the ID.

It’s worth learning how. This problem is something everyone goes through (hopefully) once.

Yeah, I love the backup features they’ve bought in. The ability to restore specific parts of Home Assistant is really great

That’s truly excellent news

Yep, Duplicacy to Backblaze B2 for me

Yeah, it threw me at first too, but its nonsense. I have about 20 Aqara sensors and switches without the Aqara hub. I use the Sonoff USB coordinator.

I always use this great resource to check compatibility:

“We are very supportive of encryption technologies. We just want them to be managed in a way, much like in telecommunications.”

I just threw up a little bit

That’s just weird.

I listen to porn while watching the BBC. Much more satisfying.

Those demo examples are very impressive. I look forward to giving this a try.

I just tried xpipe out off the back of this post. What an amazing tool. It has a great looking interface with a bubch of features I didnt know I needed. I am inside my docker containers in about 3 clicks. Props to you crschnick, this will probably become my daily driver for homelab server administration. The one downside is it will make me lazier :)

Completely agree. It’s utterly addictive, and the further you get, more and more fun tech gets unlocked. Been playing it with some friends, and we’re all hooked.

This article taught me the term “Hundred Model War” referring to the crowded AI market in China. Interesting stuff.

I am not a fan of this. I see it all the time at work and it’s very obvious when someone has chatGPT write an email for them (it’s always such a sterile and yet overcomplicated writing style). If it’s a direct email to me, I tend to feel insulted that they couldn’t be bothered to write those 4 paragraphs themselves - it would have taken them 2 mins. There is a definite human disconnect going on in society at the moment, and its worrying.

“You guys wanna go see a dead body?”

Heh, “Shield Toads” :)

I honestly don’t know what would happen, but I wouldn’t try it. Hard disks are sensitive things.

The HBA can definitely handle hot swapping, but I’m pretty sure you need a backplane for it to work. If I remember correctly, it needs the capacitors on the backplane’s PCB to allow for the power drain. I’m not sure those cables alone will do.

I have this HBA in my homelab server and was surprised to find it has two SAS controller in it. I can’t remember exactly what I had to do to flash it, but I needed to flash both controllers using an EFI prompt so they became one controller. It took an afternoon of research, but I eventually flashed both of them to IT mode and it worked as expected. I’m pretty sure this thread helped me at the time:

Good luck!

This caught me. I had to restore my instance from backup yesterday after loading the app and it not working. I use the fdroid version and it won’t be updated for a while…

Remember, always backup you data, kids.

Great article. I didn’t know you could pair devices to specific routers in Zigbee2MQTT.
