Hello! I’ve been running unRAID for about two years now, and recently had a thought to use some spare parts and separate my server into two based on use. The server was used for personal photos, videos, documents, general storage, projects, AI art, media, multitude of docker containers, etc. But I w...
Yeah that was my initial thought. The base is different, but the rest is similar.
I am not, and have been trying to steer away from the most of the ones I listed, and the Yakima as well. Thule seems like the play if I was to focus on only the name brands. I believe Swagman is from BC as well, but they seem to not hold up long.
Those look damn good, way out of my price range unfortunately. I also drive a sedan so those vertical racks would be like a mast on the back haha.

Bike rack options - ryfa.com?


I am going to start commuting on bike about 7km out of my total 20km each way in the coming weeks. My current bike rack is a SportRack platform for 4 bikes. It is heavy, very long, and doesn’t fold up. The place I will be parking is quite narrow, and I can’t have a 5 foot platform sticking out waiting for someone to drive into it, so I’ve been researching new options. I need a rack for one bike for daily commuting, would be nice to have an addon for 2 more.
I randomly came across this company: https://www.ryfa.com/en-ca/collections/hitch-bike-racks/products/ryfa-2-rapid-rack
I can’t find much on them, the three reviews on the site are positive but I don’t know if I trust them. The racks are out of stock on their shopify store, but are available on eBay and Amazon, seller reviews are positive but nothing on the products. They’re quite expensive, so I’m hesitant. They look really solid, aluminum like the 1up but cheaper. I like that I could have the 1 bike option on for commuting, an
Cool! Bosch is going to be my next set of appliances after I sell my current place, and my new place needs new ones.
Yes, to the best of my ability and available resources. It is a newer model, so currently spare parts seemed to be abundant vs the 12 or so year old previous model.
Nice work on the cheap repairs! Which brand, if I may ask?
Exactly this. I recently had my clothes washer break. Spent days researching the problem, taking the thing apart, figuring out the cause was the spindle on the back of the drum having a crack and eventually breaking. I eventually found a replacement part which had a slightly different part number but research showed it should be compatible. $400 for the part. $130 shipping, plus tax came out to just shy of $600. 2 week lead time to get the part, and no certainty I’d be able to put it all back together. Professional appliance repair wouldn’t have made financial sense either, I called around.
I ended up ordering a new one for $800 all in, saving many headaches. Had it two days later and was able to catch up on laundry.
Cool! Howl’s moving castle vibes.
“That’s all the highlights, that’s all that happened that race?” 💀
Wasn’t this a question in the “it takes two” video from the other week? And I think both Albon and Sainz said that Carlos would be most likely to be late for the national anthem.
RIP Eddie. Always enjoyed his commentary and unfiltered take on F1 as a whole. He was there with BBC when I first got into the sport.
This is stunning! Looks serene but also a bit foreboding with the sky/top left of the image.
Agree with the other comment about smokeless fire. I didn’t notice the fire at all at first glance. Regardless, amazing work!!
Have you considered perineum sunning to tweak your T levels? Could slot it in at 2:00 and do it simultaneously while closing deals.
The original was fantastic and I re-watched it last year, before I even knew they rebooted it. The new reboot missed the mark for me. Couldn’t get into it.
Looks like it is in the city Białystok.
Also cities and counties.
Oh wow, now that is a strong commitment. As if I needed anymore excuses to get their delicious ice creams lol.
Great article to come across right after picking out ideas for my first tattoo…
Edited, just for you because you made me laugh.
Is this the brand? I’d be interested in something like this.
Ahh ok sorry I was barely awake and just grabbed the first few, misunderstanding what you were trying to accomplish.
Copilot was really bad at this, but logged into free ChatGPT, it gave me this list on the second attempt with reasoning turned on (first attempt missed a handful of movies). I didn’t check super thoroughly but they seem to all be there, and I don’t see any that aren’t in the post/comments. I added numbering in a subsequent prompt.
Prompt: Can you go through this post including all comments and create a table of all of the movies listed, and add their release date, director and genre? Be very through and make sure to list all movies as some may be formatted differently, and some are mentioned in sentences and nested comments. https://piefed.jeena.net/post/125521
Yeah that is a perfect use for AI. Here’s what I came up with:
Using this list of classic movies, can you create a table which also includes each movie’s release date, director and genre? (Insert list of movies)
Here is a table that includes each movie's release date, director, and genre:
Movie Title | Release Date | Director | Genre |
---|---|---|---|
M | 1931 | Fritz Lang | Thriller, Crime, Mystery |
Gone with the Wind | 1939 | Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood | Drama, Romance, War |
The Godfather | 1972 | Francis Ford Coppola | Crime, Drama |
Taxi Driver | 1976 | Martin Scorsese | Crime, Drama, Thriller |
Murder on the Orient Express | 1974 | Sidney Lumet | Crime, Drama, Mystery |
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest | 1975 | Milos Forman | Drama |
Rear Window | 1954 | Alfred Hitchcock | Mystery, Thriller, Crime |
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb | 1964 | Stanley Kubrick | Comedy, War, Satire |
Chinatown | 1974 | Roman Polanski | Mystery, Thriller, Drama |
Le Grande Bouffe | 1973 | Marco Ferreri | Comedy, Drama |
L'Avventura | 1960 | Michelangelo Antonioni | Drama, Mystery, Romance |
Tengoku to jigoku (High and Low) | 1963 | Akira Kurosawa | Crime, Drama, Thriller |
This table lists the movie titles alongside their release dates, directors, and genres. Let me know if you'd like more details or adjustments!
What a sad state of things. Guess the bribe worked.

TP-Link cold feet - go for ubiquiti instead?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/21641378
So I just added a TP-Link switch (TL-SG3428X) and access point (EAP670) to my network, using OPNSense for routing, and was previously using a TP-Link SX-3008F switch as an aggregate (which I no longer need). I’m still within the return window for the new switch and access point, and have to admit the sale prices were my main reason with going for these items. I understand there have been recent articles mentioning TP-Link and security risks, so I’m thinking if I should consider returning these, and upping my budget to go for ubiquity? The AP would only be like $30 more for an equivalent, so that’s negligible, but a switch that meets my needs is about 1.6x more, however still only has 2 SFP+ ports, while I need 3 at absolute minimum.
I’m generally happy with the performance, however there is a really annoying bug where if I reboot a device, the switch drops down to 1G speed instead of 10G, and I have to tinker with the setting

NFS mount disappearing
Hi all,
I’m having an issue with an NFS mount that I use for serving podcasts through audibookshelf. The issue has been ongoing for months, and I’m not sure where the problem is and how to start debugging.
My setup:
- Unraid with NFS share “podcasts” set up
- Proxmox on another machine, with VM running Fedora Server 40.
- Storage set up in Fedora to mount the “podcasts” share on boot, works fine
- docker container on the same Fedora VM has Audiobookshelf configured with the “podcasts” mount passed through in the docker-compose file.
The issue:
NFS mount randomly drops. When it does, I need to manually mount it again, then restart the Audiobookshelf container (or reboot the VM, but I have other services).
There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to the unmount. It doesn’t coincide to any scheduled updates or spikes in activity. No issue on the Unraid side that I can see. Sometimes it drops over night, sometimes mid day. Sometimes it’s fine for a week, other times I’m remo
How to repair peeling on cabinets


Hi folks,
I want to refinish and paint my kitchen cabinets, but before touching the doors I want to ask opinions on how to repair this peeling on edges of 3 cabinets. Looks like steam from the range and kettle did this.
I was thinking to trim off the excess bit that has peeled and expanded, then sand down and fill with wood/general filler before painting with bullseye 123. Is there a better approach?

Open source travel planner
Hello, I’m planning a rather large trip later this year and have been searching for something to help me plan and organize. I’ve come across a few apps that are not exactly privacy friendly, like TripIt and Wanderlog.
Does anyone know of any self hosted or otherwise open source alternatives to these apps?

Nginx Proxy Manager and OPNsense port forwarding
Hi everyone,
I’m at my wits end here getting port forwarding working on my setup with Nginx Proxy Manager (NPM) and OPNsense.
I recently upgraded my networking gear, and everything is working great, I’m loving OPNsense and 10G networking. I’ve had the same setup for port forwarding for years and never had issues, the main change was the addition of OPNsense and a switch.
Previous setup (I realize this wasn’t the best):
ISP modem -> DHCPv4 with ports 80/443 forwarded to ASUS wireless router WAN -> DHCPv4 with ports 80/443 forwarded to VM on proxmox running NPM -> NPM set up with hosts to proxy services on other VMs/server.
This (or a variation thereof) has all been working great for years, along with ddns set up as I have a dynamic IP.
New setup:
ISP modem -> DHCP off with ports 80/443 forwarded to OPNsense WAN via MAC address -> OPNsense NAT-Port Forwarding set up to the NPM host/port, rest is the same as before.
The settings for the port forward are the standard I’ve foun

Partition layout recommendations
Hi,
I’ve been running Linux for some time, currently on Nobara and happy. Running it on a 1TB NVME, and a second 1TB NVME drive for extra storage for games, etc., both at gen 3.
I find myself running out of room and just picked up 2TB and 1TB NVME drives, both gen 4, and am thinking as to what the best partition layout would be. The 2x1TB gen 3 will be moved to my NAS as a cache pool.
The PC is used for gaming, photo/video editing and web development.
I guess options would be:
- OS on 2TB, and the 1TB for extra storage, call it a day.
- OS on 1TB, and the 2TB for extra storage
- Divy up the 1TB to have a partition for /, another for /home and another for /var and maybe another for games, then on the 2TB have one big partition for games and scratch disk for videos.
- Same as option 3 but swap the drives around.
What would YOU do in this situation? I’m leaning towards option 3 or a variation there of, as it gives versatility to hop to a new distro if I want relatively easy

Network upgrades checkin


Hi everyone,
I’m not sure if this is the right community, but the home networking magazines seem to be pretty dead. I’m a bit green with regard to networking, and am looking for help to see if the plan I’ve come up with will work.
The main image in the post is my current network setup. Basically the ISP modem/router is just a pass through and the 10 Gb port is connected to my Asus router, which has the DHCP server activated. All of my devices, home lab and smart home devices are connected to the Asus router via either Wifi or Ethernet. This works well, but I have many neighbours close by, and with my 30+ wifi devices, I think things aren’t working as well as they could be. I guess you could say one of my main motivations to start messing with this is to clean it up and move all possible devices to Ethernet.
The planned new setup is as follows, but I’m not sure if it’s even possible to function this way.

Sanity check - 1 server vs 2 servers
Hello!
I’ve been running unRAID for about two years now, and recently had a thought to use some spare parts and separate my server into two based on use. The server was used for personal photos, videos, documents, general storage, projects, AI art, media, multitude of docker containers, etc. But I was thinking, it’s a bit wasteful to run parts that I use once or twice a week or less 24/7, there is just no need for the power use and wear and tear on the components. So I was thinking to separate this into a server for storage of photos, videos and documents powered on when needed, and then a second server for the media which can be accessed 24/7.
Server 1 (photos, videos, documents, AI experiments): 1 x 16TB parity, 2 x 14TB array. I7 6700k, 16GB ram
Server 2 (media, docker): 1 x 10TB parity, 1 x 10TB and 2 x 6TB array. Cheap 2 core skylake CPU from spare parts, 8GB ram.
With some testing, server 2 only pulls about 10w while streaming media locally, which is a huge drop from the 90
