  • I’ve got a bunch of notes in Trilium.

    I have a note for each service with the docker compose file, notes on backups, any weirdness with the setup, and when I update each service. I use Trilium as a crappy version control for the compose file.

    I also have a note for the initial setup of my server (mostly setting up docker, setting up mergerfs and snapraid).

    Other than that, I have one note for each device for my setup. (Wifi AP, OPNsense router, switch, etc) That I populate with random crap I might need to know later.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen my mom cry, except for the one time she dropped a metal hanger in her eye, and at my grandpa’s funeral (though she claims she cries all the time). I’ve seen my dad cry a decent amount. My grandma bottles more than a winery. My grandpa cried on occasion. We’re backwards from the stereotype. It’s weird.




  • The only controversies I’ve seen regarding bikes I’ve seen as a city dwelling American, are bikes not following the rules of the road.

    People get upset when bikes run red lights/stop signs, ride the wrong way on streets or paths, or go way too fast on shared pedestrian paths, especially if they don’t have a bell or horn of some kind.

    E bikes get hate because they allow people to do 25 to 40 mph on pedestrian paths (where the speed limit is half of that or less). Where I live, lane splitting for motorcyclists is not legal, but E bikes do it relatively frequently. Motorists are not expecting a tiny, silent vehicle to go flying past their door at 30 mph when they’re stopped. And for some reason, most E bikes I’ve personally seen riding at night have no lights of any kind. I don’t want to hit someone in my car, and I don’t want to be hit by someone as a pedestrian, and it’s a hell of a lot harder to prevent that when you can’t see them.

    I ride my bike on shared use paths and the street with lights and a bell. I follow the rules of the road, and I’ve never had any issues.










  • Here’s what I did: I bought a $50 Dell Optiplex desktop with a 4th generation Intel CPU on ebay. I stuffed in 3 HDDs from ServerPartDeals and a boot SSD I had laying around. This machine draws 50 to 60 watts continuously.

    I got caddies for the HDDs from my local used computer parts store. I got 5.25 in to 3.5 in adapters from Amazon.

    I added a 10 gig SFP+ card (which isn’t fully utilized since my network is mostly 2.5 Gig). Realistically, the onboard gigabit port is adequate.

    I got a SATA PCIe card so I can add a 4th drive if needed.

    I also bought a Nvidia Quadro P400 graphics card (similar to a GTX 1050, but half the price) for $30 on eBay for Jellyfin transcoding. I couldn’t get the onboard Intel GPU to play nice with Jellyfin.

    Excluding the cost of the drives, this setup cost me about $130.

    Tailscale works pretty well, but I usually use Wireguard to connect to my router remotely. I’ve had issues getting Tailscale to work well with my reverse proxy, but I suspect that’s a me problem rather than a Tailscale problem. I have OPNsense and Adguard running on an ancient Mac Mini that serves as my router. (If you follow this route, make sure you get a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter, not a USB one.)
