No problem! I actually am still using 8500k still since it was new for what it’s worth, those things are great no complaints.

I have run into this issue a lot, I have always found that most of the tutorials set things up in isolation and never talk about integration points or how to build a whole solution.

On the MetalLB configmap point, that’s another issue I have run into. In the earlier days of metallb it was configured differently and the configmap was automatically created but that has since changed, took me a bit to figure out when that changed as their docs aren’t explicit if I remember correctly. Annoying either way.

I think the reason most tutorials turn off the firewall is in a well configured cloud environment like AWS the host firewall is redundant due to security groups and that is what everyone targets the tutorials for unfortunately and they never explain that even with “disable this if you have other mitigating controls in place” or something.

I have also wondered if we have finally reached the era where the majority of content creators and consumers have never touched an on-prem network and don’t even think about that lens anymore, another good example of this is trying to configure MetalLB in a host with multiple interface that don’t have the same networks available (you know, like using dedicated interfaces for storage like you should), for a long time it just wasn’t possible and metallb would announce all networks on all interfaces which made it basically not functional heh. Whatever the reason is, you are not alone in being annoyed :D

Anyway, these are great points, I have been pondering writing up a larger set of tutorial about my setup since it’s more similar to a small enterprise anymore, I should get on that hah.

Yeah that is true, I had mixed results on the quality of the video using the 7th gen ones so I usually recommend at least 8th gen but that may have improved by now.

As the other person said, NUCs and such are able to do transcodes via Intel QuickSync hardware acceleration, it’s not really possible to transcode 4k in realtime on most CPUs without it.

You will need at least an 8th gen Intel processor to do HVEC which is what h265 uses, more info is in this chart on Wikipedia about which generations support which things. Anecdotally, this has worked extremely well for me for a long time, definitely worth it.

Also be aware if you are doing any virtualization you will need to pass the iGPU through to the guest machine.

You are right, more specifically in case anyone is curious it usually has to be whomever owns the public IP addresses because that is who would own the reverse zone for that IP block according to the internet root dns servers in most circumstances. In OPs case you are probably right, this is probably the VPS provider but not always.

I would like to inquire more about this “Motivation” app and how does one go about installing it? haha :D

Looks great though, I have wanted to try homarr.

I would try what that other person said, that’s a great idea!

Anecdotally, I actually just got through half of a brand new roll today that I opened two days ago and it has been printing from a dry box and it started spattering from trapped moisture (you will find little chunks of plastic on your bed in past experience) so it’s in the dryer now haha.

Hope it works out!

ETA: I live in CO, USA and the humidity in the room where the printer is currently reads 70.4F/50% and the dry box reads 12% for reference, not much for it to soak up from the air.

My vote is a combo but it includes being wet, is this a new roll or if not how did you have it stored? I have found PETG to be much more finicky with moisture than PLA overall so if you have a way to dry it definitely try that and see what happens before trying to calibrate it.

That is so true, I wish it was talked about more because I think it is something we all deal with at one time or another.

Cloudflare does post their IP ranges so I would probably start with looking at traffic involved with those IPs to see what kind of information was going there, you could also block those ranges and see what breaks.

You aren’t kidding they are hard to move, I was mounting them backwards to work the layout out first but I just found this remover tool today and it makes it way easier!

I don’t know anyone using it personally but I have seen lots of folks here and Reddit that use LXC through Proxmox, I had the same thought though.

Yeah this smells like a bug in Caddy or something. I agree to try nginx or something else to see if it’s Caddy or if it’s something with the configuration of the host. The only thing I could think of is if caddy isn’t caching DNS responses and maybe is getting rate limited so it appears slower while it’s waiting on the DNS request but I am shooting in the dark as I haven’t spent much time with caddy.

Oh yeah, for sure. If I am able I sometimes even plan them, like I will just let my brain bounce around between 4 or 5 projects I have going or video games or whatever. Those days I try hard to reframe my goal to just work on something, not anything in particular, and it seems to help me not feel like crap about it. I hate how we ourselves are our own greatest critics sometimes, it’s really just not helpful, that’s why I try to trick myself into tiny accomplishments that way.

If you haven’t tried it you should check out Sunsama. I have tried a lot of todo apps and have never found one that works for every situation and Sunsama kinda solves this through integrations. I really like that it connects to email and other calendars as well as apps like Trello and Jira and lets me track them all as cards and even automate what happens when I mark them done in Sunsama. It also supports tasks directly and I use those for a few recurring tasks that don’t fit anywhere else. ADHD wise it has been helpful with planning times for specific tasks and seeing how they fit into my combined calendars and get better at time estimating which I didn’t expect. I think it’s general “turn a week into a kanban board” concept took some getting used to but it has been really helpful for me as well. I anecdotally feel like I get more done and am less overwhelmed when I keep to the daily ceremonies that it has as well for what it’s worth.

Hey sorry I forgot to reply yesterday. Are you talking about the add-on in hassos? How are you installing it?

I misspoke and what I use now is zwavejs2mqtt since that came out, I used regular zwave2mqtt before zwavejs and zwavejs2mqtt existed. You are right that zwave-js/zwave-js-ui are the newer tool but zwave-js-ui isn't exactly the same thing as zwavejs2mqtt even though they function relatively the same from a home assistant perspective and both are provided by the zwave-js project which is confusing and I had to tipple check they weren't the same now hah. The biggest usability difference is that to add devices to it (or the zigbee equivalent) you have to use its UI and not the integrated home assistant UI as you do when you run zwave-js and zha (at least the way I have it configured, this could be possible now). Both bridges provide discovery in home assistant via MQTT though so the experience is pretty seamless once its set up, I haven't had any issues with it.

I don't have a guide, I just run that docker container that I linked on a Raspberry Pi with the zwave controller plugged into it that is connected to the same MQTT server that my home assistant machine is connected to. I can grab the docker-compose file that I use on that machine if that would be helpful but its really pretty straight forward, I don't remember needing to read any guides that I could pass along.

Reading your post again I also wanted to mention that neither zwave nor zigbee support multiple primary controllers so you couldn't really just set up a bunch of controllers/coordinators (coordinator is the term zigbee uses). Both protocols are designed to be mesh networks and will try to mesh as much as possible, it is really key to how they work for traffic and radio frequency congestion in addition to reliability. I know it seems annoying to do but I have had great success with using a few zwave and zigbee mains powered devices (I use zwave light switches and this zigbee plug as an example) to act as routers in both meshes and it works pretty well and I think you will have much better luck if you build your mesh that way. You may also find that most controllers/coordinators aren't designed to have all devices connected to them in a network and won't perform as well when configured that way but that depends on how large your mesh networks are going to be (I have 29 zwave and 65 zigbee devices currently).

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions or need more info.

ETA: I forgot to include, I use that zigbee plug even on things that don't need really need a switch but I want power metering on since they do that as well. I have one on a small mini-fridge for power metering and a zwave equivalent on my washing machine for cycle alerts a examples.

Affiliate link mistake or not I am glad you posted that link and I want you to know that I found it valuable and at least two of my ND friends did as well (including one that just recently started a business) and are now going to attend.

I know it was against the rules but I just wanted you to know that at least someone was glad you posted it and you made a positive impact in at least one person’s life.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand why the rule exists but I think I commented on the original post too and I didn't even take it as you trying to advertise, you even said it was an affiliate link. I thought it seemed like you were just excited, and the event is free after all (cost isn’t the point I know, I think that’s why I didn’t think it was advertising).

I have had mine set up this way for 3 or 4 years now using a raspberry pi and zwave2mqtt/zigbee2mqtt and it works very well. Both of those have their own UI though which could be better but definitely get the job done. I have the pi centrally located in my house and my home assistant machine is in a rack with the rest of my gear.

Haha I figured, fitting for an ADHD community I think :D. Thanks for the link!

Did you forget to include the link or am I just blind today? This sounds really cool so I want to be sure haha.
