Self hosted(Docker hopefully) solutions of personal inventory tracking?
  • Snipe-it ... I've been using forma a while to track my IT equipmente. Dies a Hood job. Didnt know about Homebox. Just checked the demo. It appears to be what I've been looking for for years now. Will try it soon. Very much developed by single person. I but risky if development is dropped but then CSV export at least saved the data that can be imported into spreadsheet

  • Truenas failover server

    Hi, I have two Dell T110 ii. One, with more ram and slightly faster CPU acts as main server. I have it running as NFS server, one VM with a couple of services and two apps (nextcloud and immich). Happy with the setup but worried about hardware of main server failing given age. So I have replication set up (pulls from slave to main). The dataset structure is the same. Is it a matter of installing the same apps and VM on slave, load the config of main onto slave and then just leave it to replication to keep the two machines cloned? I switch on slave only on Sundays to allow replication activity. It is some form of backup I guess, although not perfect.

    Has anybody experienced with running calibre-web + kavita (or another combination of ebook oriented services) combined? I'm asking because none seem to be the definite winner (calibre is fugly, but
  • I'm not into ebooks that much and don't have experience with them. I still prefer paper. I've just been totally put off by all the bad stuff I've read about DRM etc. Is it really a problem and how do these tools that you mention above cope with them. I'm one of those that often annotates with pencil in the books I read. Can you annotate DRM protected content with Open Source tools?

  • Reinstall without data loss
  • This is good to know. I have my OS on nvram and my data pool on a disk array. If u lose a disk on the pool, zfs should take care of that. If I lose the os disk or is gets corrupt, then based on what u say above, it should be easy enough to reinstall Truenas scale on new nvram, import the pool and then import the last config file to setup all the shares which otherwise would have to be setup manually from scratch. Does that sound right?

  • E-books are fast becoming tools of corporate surveillance
  • The way things are going with audio/music is a sign of how bad things are getting. Its even becoming difficult to find a DVD or audio CD that you like and want to own. So, the only way to consume is via streaming. The only way to move away from this is for production to be self funded and self published. But why would artists move away from this system if it pours money into the already exploding bank accounts?

  • 7 productivity apps for Android tablets and foldable phones
  • Hey, I like this comment. It lists most of the actions I've taken over the last few years. I'm glad I'm not fueling AI training anymore with my data. GrapheneOS my latest migration after using /e/ for a few years. So happy. Notesnook is new to me. Looks interesting although still unclear to me if there is some business model behind. How are these guys making a living?

  • Truenas on Lemmy
  • Cheers for that. I need pro tip 2 then 😄 because I still can't work out why the search on my lemdro.id instance only pulls up locale instances despite me fully declaring the community address as !truenas@programming.dev

    Shouldn't it be searching across all instances? I'm using Jerboa as an android client.

  • We are just getting started’: the plastic-eating bacteria that could change the world
  • I agree. We want both. Its like water consumption needs which keep increasing. We want to reduce demand and increase leakage reduction rather than take more water out of the environment. We're making a mess of this planet because our lives are based on the assumption of eternal growth.

  • Desalination System Could Produce Freshwater that is Cheaper than Tap Water
  • UK water companies are starting to explore this option and are hitting huge regulatory barriers as the by-product is considered industrial effluent. It will require regulatory shift. I'm wondering if anyone has done the maths properly though. How much salt do we mine each year? And how does it compare to the salt produced by desalination? If the average consumption of water in the UK is 125 l, then we can compare the salt produced to the salt consumed per capita every day in the country (e.g. industrial use, salt spreading on roads, etc.).

    The truth is that you'll never be producing 125 l for 69M people all from desalination. Only a very small fraction of the 125 l will come from desalination.

    The challenge is being driven by climate change and stringent environmental legislation in the UK water industry. These challenges are creating large gaps in their water resource planning for their future water supply. Hence desalination and effluent reuse now being considered as options. Its all in the water company water resource plans that have been published on their websites.

    And BTW, I don't fully understand why 3 people have down voted this post. Its an incredibly interesting topic.

  • Truenas on Lemmy
  • Well, I don't want to bore people here with all my Truenas posts 😀 I installed a few weeks ago and still on a steep learning curve. Given that I'm off Reddit now, I need a community to support me. Also, as I've just joined Lemmy, I would need to work out how I create a new Truenas community. Presumably that can only happen on my instance and presumably I will need tone graced by the instance admin ... Wow, lots of hard work 😅

    Truenas on Lemmy

    I thought would ask here (just joined the Lemmy world) but surely there must be a truenas community somewhere on the Lemmy world? Any Truenas users here?
