Finally fixing my nix-based dev env on MacOS. I was getting error: tool 'git' not found when in a dev env.
sudo xcode-select --reset
sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
wound up fixing it
I'm giving Restic a go for backups with a NixOS system. The integration on NixOS is pretty easy to set up and backing up to Minio was painless. I still need to work on the sequencing from services that won't work with just a disk copy (sqlite mostly I think).
I've mostly seen people ask about Borg in the self-hosting community, but I wanted something S3-compatible natively and Borg doesn't seem to fit that.
There is a fork of the Minio Console UI that is bringing back the recently removed features! I haven't given it a try but might be the next bits I setup in my homelab to give it a spin. The lack of SSO in Minio's "new" UI has been annoying.
It looks like Minio is enshitifying
`Minio strips away almost all features from AGPL interface and suggests people use their licensed "AIStor" service instead
I use Minio a bit for storage to avoid reliance on a single node and being able to scale up storage more than a single server can handle. I never really loved Minio, but it seems that Garage replicates and SeaweedFS requires a more complex setup to replicate the filer.
I joined Obsidian Catalyst just to try out the Bases plugin. So far it's worth it, might fill the void for a self-hosted, plaintext Notion Database replacement!
sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.nixos.nix-daemon.plist worked for me when I updated MacOS and needed to reboot. Thanks Dan!
This looks interesting for when I replace my existing homelab cluster. It would be nice for NVME hotswap drives though.
Something went wrong on a homelab server and Docker stopped cleaning up old overlays.
Running docker system prune -a -f (via) seemed to fix it.
Total reclaimed space: 149GB :tada:
LM66200 Seems like a good place for me to start
I'm excited to see other folks interested in a Limbo/SQLx integration.
SQLx + support for an S3 store falls close to my ideal use case for application DB usage.
It's nice to see more OIDC services coming out that (presumably) work well for self-hosting. Pocket-ID (via This Week in Self-Hosted and Rauthy.
I'm still using kanidm with no need to switch, but it's nice to see maybe-easier things to recommend for other folks to try!
TIL about MTP Cable.
I've wanted to run some fiber to connect into my office. Right now it's 10G over copper, it would be nice to run something that takes less power than 10GBe though.
I used the duty cycle of my existing furnace to calculate the size of a replacement heat pump. The HVAC contractor salesperson at Gen3 didn't seem to use that information though. I thought the modulation of the Mitsubishi system would still be ok, but it wasn't. The minimum BTUs for the new system are still high enough that the system doesn't modulate.
Based on the energy usage and efficiency of the new system, the previous duty calculations seemed to be accurate for the heating load! It's nice to see this method discussed.
