Optiplex or Dell R210ii
  • I have an R210ii running opnsense for like 6 years now. It has never given me a single problem and easily my favorite little machine. And the oldest in my rack.

  • Matrix 2.0
  • I used this video to set up sliding sync on my personal server.

    What's your preference for a text chat server (e.g. IRC/XMPP/Matrix/Zulip/etc.)?
  • I grabbed Element X to try it out but my self host doesn't support sliding sync. There is a sliding sync proxy docker that got put out to help but not sure I want to set that up if it will eventually get added to main. Might have to just wait. 😔

  • I run it with a whitelist of other instances I do federate with. I have actually been considering opening it up.

  • I've been self-hosting Matrix for like 2+ years now. The setup yaml was a lot to get thru in terms of reading what each set of options did. That felt like a lot but the reality was only a few things actually needed to be set and/or changed to make it work the way I wanted. Thankfully Matrix documented all the options out.

    Overall, I'm extremely happy with Matrix. It has very much been set it and forget it once it was up. I'm excited to see where Matrix 2.0 goes.

  • Best router for home use?
  • mine can push a gig around no problem.

  • Best router for home use?
  • This right here. get something cheap, throw opnsense or pfsense on it and start learning. It will probably be incredibly frustrating at first but when it starts to click then it is really fun and rewarding.

    I bought an old dell r210ii years ago and threw pfsense on it then swapped to opnsense and could not be happier. It is still in use today, a good 6 years later.

  • Docker container reappears constantly after "rm" or "rm -f"
  • Are they part of a stack or docker-compose?

  • I hope this post qualifies, but laptop on last legs, planning for a replacement...
  • i recently picked up one and love it. These thinkpads are also flooding ebay so some with great specs can be had for less than the $238 newegg is asking for. Just gotta look around.

  • Recommendations for a rack mount router
  • On the exact same setup! it runs really well.

  • What is your machine naming scheme?
  • Battlestar Galactica years ago. Dradis for the domain name and ships for the computers.

    Galactica.dradis Pegasus.dradis Basestar.dradis And so on. Made it fun.

  • Best way to automate window AC?
  • I would check to see the wattage/amps the heater pulls and what the smart plug is rated for. Don't want to melt it or start a fire by mistake.
