  • Wall control panels

    Jump

  • Personally I purchased some cheap 10" Lenovo tabs for my new place. Haven't moved in quite yet, but some PoE to USB-C adapters and 3D printed wall mount cases outta get me out for ~$150/unit. Not the cheapest, but far from the most expensive. Should work well enough for what I need.

  • If you would start again, how would you do it?

  • I think you're on the right track considering those factors and others (integrations with HA is another big one for me). IMO it's always a balance though - a perfect example for me personally is I still use Nest Protect devices because they just freaking work, and work well. Same with a smart display I have and some minimal smart speaker usage. So sure, there's a little bit of "lock in" there, but as long as your risk tolerance is ok with that (mine is) then you're golden.

    The factors you mentioned, among others like HA integrations (preferably official), company reputation (I'm personally ok with some minimal lock in if the cost/benefit calculation works out), etc. are my first considerations when looking at new products. Wherever possible local first control is a great plus and can be an absolutely huge factor to be sure.

  • Favourite VPS for multiple boxes?

    Jump

  • I've only used one VPS so far, but I can second that Vultr has been pretty good to me thus far.

  • Selfhosting lemmy with no pictrs

  • Great! This is awesome thank you so much!!

  • Question about data available to network management

    Jump

  • I get that part, and it all makes total sense. I was only confused on the "torrents will be detected" part of the original comment.

  • Question about data available to network management

    Jump

  • VPN sure, but if he's using a VPN then all visible torrent activity should be terminated at the VPN server correct? Assuming they aren't installing management software on whatever endpoint device OP is using, how would they be able to view the specific traffic between him and whatever VPN server he is using?

    In any case, I would agree with another poster that Linux ISO's and cars to a seedbox and then transfer via SFTP would be the best route.

  • Namecheap ups its prices 9% for .com and .xyz this fall.

  • Nothing like a week and a half notice, eh? I honestly don't care for how much control over the internet Cloudflare has, but I've been extremely happy with them since transferring my domains over to them a few years back.

  • What do you do with damaged drives?

    Jump

  • Take them apart, add the magnets to my massive ball of old hard drive magnets, shed a tear, order a replacement, and then move on 😂

  • 3D printer nightmare fuel: Bambu X1C and P1P started printing while owners were asleep

    Jump

  • Ooooph. Owning both a modded to the nines Ender 3 v2 and a vCore 3.1, there's a part of me that wants to add the simplicy and MMU functionality of the X1C to the mix at some point....but this is uhhhhhhh scary. No thank you lol!!

  • A funneling system i made to keep my automatic dog feeders topped off.

  • This is awesome!! Nice work!

  • You Don't Need to Keep Every Electronic Box!

  • Lmao this is impressive even puts my pile to shame 😂

  • Best cameras that can connect to a home lab?

    Jump

  • These are all pretty good suggestions...a few points I'd add based solely on my personal experiences:

    • A lot of Amcrest's cameras are pretty solid for the price too. I've recently ordered some rebadged Dahuas from empire tech and haven't used them a ton but so far I'm thinking I'll really like them.
    • Check out night color cameras. They're not as "discreet" potentially as they generate their own visible light if it's pitch black out, but to me that's actually another security benefit...and the night time performance can be amazing.
    • Blue Iris is another pretty great piece of software. Super cheap for what it offers, and while it's a little more resource heavy being a full fledged NVR, you can pair it with things like Codeproject.ai and get some amazing results.
    • Double down on getting rid of wifi, if at all possible, and through any and every means possible. I too was initially pretty set on the convenience of wifi, but mixing wifi and cameras just never ends up in a great experience from everything I've ever had experience with. The absolute best I've ever seen is just "ok", and usually it's substantially worse.

    Good luck!!

  • Started putting QR Codes on my filament so I know how old it is and what brand / color

    Jump

  • This 1000% lmao

  • What are the best customizable routers nowadays?

    Jump

  • This is the way. Love OPNsense!

  • nforwardauth - simple and minimalist forward auth service intended for use with reverse proxies (Traefik, Caddy, etc). added basic auth and logout support

    Jump

  • Ditto! I'd also appreciate a normal nginx example as well!
