Interesting, when I started using FreeCAD I had 0 training, and I have managed to make it work just fine. Was mostly frustrated by the topological naming problem, but that is fixed now.

You can do quite complex things with it.

You just have to put in a bit of effort and think in an additive sketch-extrude workflow. But yeah, not easy to transition from solidworks.

Well the gadgetbridge comment is not really true.

It can’t pull activities from Strava, runkeeper, or similar or push to them. Syncing across services via APIs or Heath Connect stops it from really being a proprietary watch software replacement or a google fit replacement as they all do that and it is a core function because people want to use the apps they want to use. For example, lifting tracking from Progression or similar which other apps like gadgetbridge or strava just aren’t made for. It doesn’t have the functionality built in to cover every activity set.

GPX is extremely limited and is only GPS data, not good for fitness trackers as they track all sorts of activities. TCX or FIT are better, but of course managed by Garmin. There isn’t really an open alternative standard. I guess the closest we come is the Health Connect API which is completely local interoperability.

Depends on what your usecase is for what is “essential.”

I think keeping household documents, taxes, medical bills, etc… In a local only paperless-ngx instance is quite essential to the organization of a household where everything is searchable and able to be organized on multiple levels compared to a simple document folder on 1 computer.

Having a document or self-hosted wiki with an in - case - of - death document that gets backed up in an encrypted, but accessible by family place is probably the most “essential” thing.

This is a good way to do it.

I went one smaller with the Node 304 which only can do 4 HDDs with a GPU inserted. Going used for consumer desktop CPU is the most powerful play for the money I think.

This is a good path forward OP for a pretty powerful server

• Node 804
• Used AM4 motherboard ( microatx B550) (can be around 150€)
• used 5700X or similar (seen as low as 100€)
• new 500W power supply
• 32GB DDR4 3200 ram in 16GB sticks
• WD red plus 10TB helium filled for balance of noise and performance and price. My 10TB drives are as quiet as my 4TB. My scheme is ZFS mirror of 4TB (2 drives) for important docs, and 10TB drives for non critical data. Drives are by far the most expensive unless you get good second hand drives
• if you want to do Jellyfin media server, pick up an arc A310

It is the Mac of network hardware in my corporate - entered experience.

It is aesthetic hardware, marketing, and everything software related looks polished on the surface, but is buggy (particularly their access which is the worst thing to be buggy) with the least possible configurability, completely obscured debugging resources, and proprietary ways to make you reliant on their support services.

That being said, I am still using them because I got a 30€ UAP-AC-SHD from my company’s old stock when we switched to Cisco hardware. And their cloud gateway ultra is a good value. My whole house setup with prosumer hardware will be 140€ and where my internet comes in is the worst place in the house to put a wireless router.

That is a different usecase though. That is simply syncing local musical with a server.

I do that too because i have an SD card. Just use Syncthing for that. Much faster and less hassle. You can use any music player on your phone that you want, not just one that works with jellyfin.

If you aren’t streaming music in real time for the majority of time, then do a phone sync, not a streaming server.

I have heard symphonium is very good if they are looking at closed source Plex anyway. It works with jellyfin and navidrome.

I just use syncthing to sync all of my music to my phone’s SD card. Then PowerAmp since there aren’t many fully featured foss music players. I am keeping my eye on Auxio though, keeping it installed and updated.

And ladies and gentlemen, that is part of the reason for the gender gap lol

Suse-font is licensed under OFL-1.1

Maybe soon sodium ion!

Higher cycle counts, reduced capacity, but also not dangerous.

I think it has to do with data differences between self hosters and data hoarders.

Example: a self hosted with an RPI home assistant setup and a N100 server with some paperwork, photos, nextcloud, and a small jellyfin library.

A few terabytes of storage and their goal is to replace services they paid for in an efficient manner. Large data transfers will happen extremely rarely and it would be limited in size, likely for backing up some important documents or family photos. Maybe they have a few hundred Mbit internet max.

Vs

A data hoarder with 500TB of raid array storage that indexes all media possible, has every retail game sold for multiple consoles, has taken 10k RAW photos, has multiple daily and weekly backups to different VPS storages, hosts a public website, has >gigabit internet, and is seeding 500 torrents at a given time.

I would venture to guess that option 1 is the vast majority of cases in selfhosting, and 10Gb networking is much more expensive for limited benefit for them.

Now on a data hoarding community, option 2 would be a reasonable assumption and could benefit greatly from 10Gb.

Also 10Gb is great for companies, which are less likely to be posting on a self hosted community.

No, mine is just a docker container. Maybe there is something with that? Is your containerized in the VM?

Interesting. For me it was a set and forget. I check the change notes before updating every month or so, make a very small change to the yaml compose, and I am back in action in under 10 minutes.

Different experiences I guess.

True, but the same judge who would say that this means Github’s AI tools can harvest and regurgitate code that you upload as its own would have a good chance of ruling that the Winamp BS license is valid and the forkers have to fork over money.

But there is the fact that the company is based in Brussels and their license apparently breaks Belgian law 😂

No, the autocorrect literally doesn’t exist.

Do you have the Intel drivers installed on your machine? Are GuC and HuC working?

sudo reboot
sudo dmesg | grep i915
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/guc_info
sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/gt/uc/huc_info

On Debian I had to manually download the i915 full driver Zip, extract it, take out the Intel drivers, and put it in /usr/lib/firmware

Then hardware acceleration worked on my Arc380.

If you use QSV, your CPU iGPU will be the one that can use it, so make sure to set your render device in docker to the iGPU and not the RTX 2060

You can sync with immich also.

It literally is as simple as choosing which folders to include with the backups. You can set backing up just like google photos.

Otherwise you have to deal with their external library mechanics which has ballooned my 5k photos to a 1.3million in the database which broke immich.

OK that is fair, though that is not self hosted…

VPS machines are a completely different beast than self hosting. But I guess I only said home use, not specifically self-hosting though we are in a self-hosted community. There are 1000 guides for setting up a VPN on your home network.

To be fair, if something is open by default or very easy to enable without informing about the risks, tons of people will have it exposed without thinking.

It isn’t that “tons of people do it so it is normal and perfectly fine” but more “people don’t realize.” It also uses some nontrivial amount of resources to process and block those attempts, even if they never have a chance of getting in.

There is yet a reason I can find to have it forwarded for home use. Need to ssh into a machine to fix it? VPN.

There are plenty of secure web-based tools to manage your server without a VPN also.

People have hit on most of them here, but here is another big one:

Fitness apps. Mainly calorie tracking, workout tracking and heart rate tracking

Health app

Sleep as Android

(No, gadget bridge is not a replacement for 99% of cases and doesn’t even support the gold standard for heart rate tracking, polar H10)

For calorie tracking, the massive food databases required, barcode scanning, and crowd sourcing are generally not compatible with the open source community’s privacy ideals. OpenNutriTracker has promise though!

For workout tracking, none of them have any device support and most of them are dead and abandoned. Not to mention heart rate zones, stats and training trends, etc… FitoTrack and Opentracks are good starts though.

And then a google fit alternative. Something that can integrate sleeping, workouts, heart rates, sensors, etc… Data all in one aggregates place. It is a huge task and it makes sense that there is no open source alternative for it. Especially when the components aren’t individually there to aggregate.
