Use this tool for importing a Google takeout file. Follow the examples for Google photos.

I haven’t used either, so I don’t have any firsthand help to give. But if you want useful help, you’ll need more specific details. Crash logs, hardware info, etc.

This.

I found a picture with a single set of ears on the front. But the spec sheet says it weighs 50lb. Personally I’d put it on a shelf or universal rails, then use the ears to keep it in place.

And you can mount the partition in your live USB boot?

It sounds like your bootloader doesn’t recognize the file system at that device path.

That’s fantastic. I’m taking notes for if/when I get a cat again.

If the company has no legal presence in the country, that probably holds. But if Facebook is collecting ad revenue from anyone in the UK, they’ve got to have a legal presence there.

I’m not sure how Ansible made it on your list. Ansible lets you apply configuration and ensure applications are installed on groups of machines. It works across a variety of Linux distros.

Thanks for the AI tag

I recommend this too. I’m using kubernetes for other stuff, but HAOS for Home Assistant. Super easy to manage. And it works great on small, appliance machines (I’m using Home Assistant Green).

I’m mostly a lurker. I’ve also been selfhosting for at least a decade, and I’m a professional in the IT sphere.

I wholeheartedly support this rule change. Hardware is a big part of selfhosting/home labs. And for some people, it’s a hard leap to make.

If we end up seeing lots of redundant posts (e.g. “Can I use my old laptop to host stuff?”), we can always start an FAQ or something. But until and unless it becomes a problem, keeping the rule simple sounds perfect.

RFID tracking would be my first guess. If you want to know where a tag is, you need multiple readers. Are they roughly in a grid pattern?

A second guess, are there e-ink tags in this store? These might be repeaters for programming those.

Remap it to escape if you’re a vim user.

You can recompile the kernel in any distro. In Gentoo, you have to compile the kernel (because you compile everything).

Do this.

Whether it would fry the NFC tag or not, you want as little distance as possible between the wireless charger and phone. More distance is less efficient (more heat, more wasted power, slower charging).

On the CPU side, the only Intel procs I’ve used are old enterprise gear for my homelab. No issues there.

On the GPU side, I’ve exclusively used Nvidia for… Actually I don’t remember the last time I used a non-nvidia GPU. The most common problem I’ve run into is updating my drivers and forgetting to reboot. the only other problem I’ve had is years back, I bought the latest gen card, and Nvidia hadn’t updated their official Linux drivers yet.

With your hardware, I’d expect things to work fine.

Because of how wide and thin it is, it looks like a phased antenna array to me. It’s a way to create cheaper, performant antennas. You see this form factor with a bunch of RF applications in UHF to EHF range.

Here’s an example of a random mmWave radar board. Imagine a plastic case over this to keep out dust and rain.

The large flat one looks like radar to me. I hadn’t heard of radar being used with PTZ cameras. But you can also use it standalone to measure traffic flow.

If it isn’t radar, it’s something with a large, flat antenna (probably a phased array). The other two options I can think of are a long-range RFID scanner or a point-to-point network connection.

How does this handle grid power outages?

In my area, you’re required to prevent back feeding if the grid goes down (otherwise it can be hazardous for the linemen repairing the issue).

Which logs did you look at already?

If you’re using journalctl, I think you should have shutdown messages in the log. You might need to filter by the previous boot for them though (https://linuxhandbook.com/journalctl-boot-logs/).

For dmesg, you might have old, rotated logs from previous boots in your /var/logs folder.

I’d expect any logs around power management to end up in one or both of those places.

You could also try manually triggering a suspend or hibernate to see what happens. I remember having a machine that would suspend fine, but if it was suspended too long, it would hibernate. And for some reason it didn’t know how to come back up after a hibernate.

In an enterprise setting, you shouldn’t trust the server firewall. You lock that down with your network equipment.

Edit: sorry, I failed to read the whole post 🤦‍♂️. I don’t have a good answer for you. When I used docker in my homelab, I exposed services using labels and a traefik container similar to this: https://docs.docker.com/guides/traefik/#using-traefik-with-docker

That doesn’t protect you from accidentally exposing ports, but it helps make it more obvious when it happens.
