The board interconnectors are gorgeous, I love the simplicity.

That’s not good enough in my opinion, it should be opt in, not opt out. They’re marketing it on their site as being more secure because you can self-host. It all just seems really skeevy.

Is there the potential for SingleFile html archives rather than pdf & screenshots? I’d imagine it’d be a fair bit smaller file.

I’m running the Merlin fork of the Asus firmware, so maybe that adds this option, but in my DHCP settings there’s a switch called:

Advertise router’s IP in addition to user-specified DNS

Sidenote: The Merlin version of the firmware is great! It lets you run the Diversion adblocker, which functions in the same way as Pihole. However, the RT-AX55U isn’t supported. The AX58U is though, maybe it might be worth upgrading? It’s a lot simpler than running a Pihole separately.

Compose also supports docker-compose.yaml and docker-compose.yml for backwards compatibility of earlier versions.

I doubt they’re going to remove support for the previous filename anytime soon. It would break way too many things.

I think they’re easier to debug as well IMO. Logs can be spread out across the filesystem on something like a Debian VM. Whereas with Docker they’re all in one feed you can easily follow the output from, with different services colour-coded. You can also easily increase the verbosity by editing the compose file.

I got 12 bulbs for AUD$10 each so I was really happy. Definitely check out if there’s any compatible Tuya stuff for cheap locally to you. They’re a Chinese company that makes white label smart home stuff that a lot of department stores and cheaper brands sell.

I’ll add as well, that there are open source and free alternatives to volumio that you can run alongside home assistant on a pi 4 easily, that will still let you use the audio output. As well as the built-in media player functionality.

Also definitely agree on the addicting part. I recently picked up some cheap bulbs at Costco that are susceptible to the Tuya Cloudcutter vulnerability. So now I have a bunch of new ESPhome devices to play with.

Wow, you’re right, I’m sorry. I hadn’t had any coffee yet haha

Nah, it’s SSDs right now as well my friend: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/05/sandisk-extreme-ssds-keep-abruptly-failing-firmware-fix-for-only-some-promised/

I don’t have experience with the tower ones, but I have a 20 series rack model. Dell seems to like making things pretty interchangeable, so it wouldn’t surprise me if the baffle is the same on both models. Above the second socket location, is there the same clearance with the baffle for a heatsink as with the populated socket? I’d say if it is then you’ll be sweet.

AFAIK iOS and macOS have had this for some time now. I think since a couple years back it’s all local-only on newer devices as well.

Okay yeah, I spun up a docker instance and this is cool as fuck. It seems to be exactly what OP is looking for. This is cool enough to be a post on its own tbh. It would be perfect in a ytdl workflow, as you can do the transcription by linking a video. I’ve been holding off on adding youtube to my Jellyfin setup for just this sort of tool. I hope the add the GPU accelerated faster-whisper models soon.

Oh that looks really cool, thank you for the link.

I totally misread this as SMTP2Go and then was very confused by the body of your post 😅

How did I not see this until now? I used this back in the day too! Thank you :)

You don’t need a GUI.

Thanks for your opinion, but you don’t get to decide what I need. I wanted a simple distro that I was familiar with, so that I could teach it to someone with basic computer knowledge. Teaching how to use a terminal was outside the scope.

Cheers, this looks perfect, and I like that it’s got a Debian build, it’s what I’m most familiar with.

Diagnosing hardware issues, which doesn’t necessarily need the same distro.
