  • I use it everywhere, raidz2 on HDDs for a NAS also with mirrored NVMe root pool, and on a couple of laptops. zfsbootmenu is awesome, so I can boot into any snapshot, and a pacman hook that creates a snapshot whenever I upgrade packages. Even if it’s overkill for some of my use, I use it anyway and trust it much more than anything else - it has a proven track record. Backups to rsync.net are a breeze with borg/borgmatic.






  • 1.0 has not been released yet. Maybe it’ll happen this week, but as of this moment, RC4 is available but the actual release does not yet exist. Don’t know why people keep posting and up voting incorrect and easily verifiable information.

    Having said that, the release candidates have been great and this will be a great milestone for FreeCAD.


  • You may want to consider going with a more DIY build vs the Ecoflow. I have one, and it’s a good backup power solution, or for running a cooler fridge when camping, but it is not a UPS nor well suited to running daily loads (mine does not have LFP battery chemistry, so is only rated for something like 800 cycles).

    I’d go check out what folks are doing for this sort of arrangement at https://diysolarforum.com - lots of good stuff there.

    And I hate when people take a single case and extrapolate it as a general statement.

    By that argument Ubuntu is equally unstable as they have rolled out updates that broke grub resulting in unbootable systems - not during a full distro upgrade, but as Ubuntu specific patches to LTS.

    In the end, we have choice, and choice is a good thing.

    Arch is not harder to maintain nor is it easier to break, that’s a myth. If anything, it’s the opposite, as a rolling release stays up to date, though it relies on the user keeping it up to date. If you get lazy with updates, then yes, you are going to have problems eventually.

    The ideal case for me is that I don’t need HACS at all. My experience has been the same - I’ve happily been able to switch to core HA components and stop using HACS ones. It’s great to see HA is not idle with success, they are continuing to make new features even when backwards compatibility may break.

    This is normal behavior. There is much more to the JVMs memory usage beyond what’s allocated to the heap - there are other memory regions as well. There are additional tuning options for them, but it’s a complicated subject and if you aren’t actually encountering out of memory issues you have to ask if this is worth the effort to tune it.



  • I record everything on Plex off an antenna/hdhomerun and fast forward through all the cruft. We can watch about 3-4 hours of coverage each hour depending on the sport. There’s no way I could watch it live. Plex will get a bit confused about whether or not an episode is new or not, so to prevent it missing anything I post process each file into a new library and fix up the episode name with a timestamp. This does result in some repeated recordings, but we just delete any matches we’ve already seen. Been doing it this way for the last few Olympics and it’s manageable.
