I use Upsnap on a low-power SBC behind a reverse proxy: https://github.com/seriousm4x/UpSnap

Before that I used the WoL feature on my Asus router.

I love that dock. I had four HDDs in two of these docks connected to one of my servers for a bit. Same experience. A bit slow for large transfers but fast enough for HD streaming. I think the space between the drives allows for enough natural airflow to keep them relatively cool. I think the hottest they got was 63 degrees Celsius during a large transfers. Usually stayed a bit below 60. In my janky homebrew NAS I see temperatures around 50, give or take 5 degrees. The use case should really determine the build so that may be the best option for many, especially with budget constraints.

The power supply probably won’t spin those drives and you may have some difficulty with thermal management. I used a SFF PC case with a SATA extender running outside to a few HDDs for a while. The drives got really hot until I got a fan running over them. This was a super janky setup though. Made a lot of dust. If you’re looking to stay low budget and don’t need RAID or SMART reporting then I would get an enclosure for those drives and just use USB. Otherwise see what you can Frankenstein from what you have. I built a NAS using my janky setup’s HDDs, CPU, and RAM. Got a cheap full size tower, old motherboard off eBay, basic cooler, and power supply for much cheaper than a new build. Still janky but upgradable with a lot of internal space for storage/GPUs.

What form factor is the m710q? I have a tiny FF so I’m imagining you trying to squeeze two HDDs into that… I was in a similar situation a while ago and broke down and bought a new case and transplanted my CPU and RAM. The options are only limited by your budget and needs when building

This right here. Since you can’t really configure the ISP router (1), DMZ is the way to go. The DMZ feature on home routers usually allows you to select a specific device or devices to add to the DMZ so make sure to reserve/set a static IP on your router (2) and configure the DMZ on your ISP router (1) to include only that specific IP. DMZ essentially forwards all ports to that device.

Seems like AI wrote this. And did a good job!

This is in Turkey, not the US. Also not TikTok employees but Telus Digital employees. Shit headline.

Maybe take a look at CanI.RootMy.TV. Seems to be mainly focused at LG WebOS but I’m not sure what vendor, model, and firmware you’re running. If you provide some more specific information you might get some more helpful answers for the situation you described. I totally respect that you might have left some detail out for privacy.

An alternative to MusicBrainz Picard is Lidarr. No sonic analysis but it can organize and rename your library among other things.

Picard is the better option for music organization though.

I found an informative post about a related issue that might be of some use to you. Sounds like DHCP or Network Manager may be rewriting your systems-resolved.conf.

Have you tried deleting /etc/systemd/resolved.conf and restarting the service with systemctl restart systemd-resolved?

Did you undo the reverse path strict filtering your guide suggested?

net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1

Above is what the guide suggests to force reverse path strict filtering. Try setting as shown below:

net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 0
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 0

According to the guide, “By default, these are set in /usr/lib/sysctl.d/50-default.conf”

Fair points! I’ve been tinkering with Homeassistant for a while now. The community has come very far so I’m hopeful that more advanced features will be added as the user base grows.

Yes, the voice recognition is decent. I mainly wanted a way to control some smart light switches without using a Google device. If you’re looking for something more advanced I don’t have any experience using his tool in that use-case.

Have you heard of Ollama? It’s an LLM engine that you can run at home. The speed, model size, context length, etc. that you can achieve really depends on your hardware. I’m using a low-mid graphics card and 32GB of RAM and get decent performance. Not lightning quick like ChatGPT but fine for simple tasks.

Have you heard of Homeassistant? It’s a self-hosted smart home solution that fills a lot of the gaps left by the most smart home tech. They’ve recently added and refined support for various different voice assistants, some of which run completely on your hardware. I have found they have great community support for this project and you can also buy their hardware if you don’t feel like tinkering on a Raspberry Pi or VM. The best thing (IMHO) about Homeassistant is that it is FOSS.
