Almost forgot before going to bed but I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.

I’m going through hell, trying to update from truenas scale 24.04 to 24.10
What’s not working? I just set up TrueNAS for the first time, went with 25.04 and figured I could just update my way out of potential bugs, but the updater is broken :D
Well, firstly I had this weird issue where the pools were giving me errors because some folder was missing, I fixed that but 24.10 has literally 0 compatibility with apps from 24.04 and it looks like I’m going to have to reset the whole pool in order to use their new apps ecosystem (because trying to install anything from 24.10 just errors out)… Which is extremely annoying as I have quite a lot of apps setup
Just set up Lemmy! I wonder if this gets through
I’m reading it so I’d say it works!
Hell yeah, you just sent the first notification to my instance :)
That’s actually so cool and the more I think about it the more it’s making me really want to host my own Lemmy instance. Can I ask what sort of hardware resources you’re running it on?
Sure! It’s a Lenovo m910q tiny. Mine has an i7-6700 and 32GB RAM but Lemmy runs in a VM with 4 cores and 8 GB RAM which should be plenty, it’s not even using half that RAM. Disk Space seems to be the limiting factor after a while since it keeps copies of all remote threads and comments but that can be cleaned up too.
Found some threads online on resource usage beforehand like this: https://lemmy.ml/post/440678
ITT: lots of busted pihole v6 updates
Finally got started with Grafana, Prometheus and Meshtastic.
I feel bi-weekly is a good rhythm for this.
What does biweekly mean to you? Twice a week, or once every two weeks? If it’s the latter, I prefer to use fortnightly, since it’s not ambiguous.
Yeah, nobody other than Brits use fortnightly anymore.
I mean every other week. I wasn’t aware of the other interpretation, but I think in combination with “The Sunday thread” it’s unambiguous?
I have never heard fortnightly, but then I’m not a native speaker. Is that commonly used?
I have always heard bi-weekly be every other week, and semi-weekly be twice a week
Trying to get my hands dirty with LLM, Ollama and Web Scrapping.
I don’t understand most of it , but hey, that’s the fun. No complaints.
I finally moved from reddit to Lemmy. maybe a 3-4 hour set up time to get it all working lol.
Finally got my lemmy instance fully updated.
Been improving my backup scripts in advance of adding backup to a server.
Updated servers and other services.
You can use https://schedule.lemmings.world/ to automate the posts. Or, given the community we’re in, you can selfhost it!
This week I’ve been doing some work on my GOG Downloader to finally back up all my GOG stuff when I buy new disks, that’s pretty much it for my selfhost/homeserver stuff this week.
Pihole 6 broke my DNS (dnsmasq), and since I had a fw rule in opnsense to only use pihole’s DNS, and deny public DNS access, it was an early rise for me :)
And that’s why you have either a backup for your DNS or know whats auto-updated ;)
As you mention opnsense:
What do you mean with fw rules to only use pihole dns?
This sounds partly like a DHCP config and partly like a deny (hardcoded) DNS requests and to please use what DHCP supplied (looking at you google/amazon)I did have backups, it was an easy fix. I had a
pihole -upon a crontab for years, probably not the best idea :)FW rule accept :53 from pihole only, deny :53 from all. I had some devices with hardcored DNS settings (8.8.8.8).
I upgraded immich without breaking everything. That’s always reason to celebrate.
How exactly does stuff get broken? Never rly had a problem bumping up the version in docker. The only issue has been the playstore version taking longer to push updates sometimes for the mobile apps.
