What’s up, what’s down and what are you not sure about?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

Personally I'm finally reaping the fruits of my labour and enjoy my stable homelab without doing much. One node went down recently and the other took over until I restarted so I was not in a hurry to fix things. Enjoying family time and only running updates that aren't automated (yet). I'm about to dig a bit deeper into logging, probably setting up central log collection like Loki at some point, but not yet.

I was also enjoying my stable homelab until... well lets just say I got cheap parts here, nice stuff there and now I am building myself a new system and I started by stripping a case I got for 20 bucks and totally spray painting it, got some nice black and white cables, wanna display my nas this time instead of hiding it in the cupboard. After that I will put in the parts I got and then I need to migrate everything from the old nas (well hopefully I just put the drives in and it works). Soooo... Yeah 😀

Recently set up a Maloja container and a Multi-scrobbler container so I can finally ditch last.fm!

I've been thinking about setting up a scrobble server, but haven't been sure what I would do with it. What do you use the information for? Does it affect how you listen?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I use it just for myself mostly to look at my listening habits. When I was younger I used last.fm to find new artists and talk to people who had similar interests and took their suggestions. These days its just to keep a log of my music listening.

Also, I have noticed a pattern of listening to less music for myself and being a lot more deferential to my partners when I am in a relationship over when I am single. This year is 20 years since I started using last.fm and part of my goal this year is to listen to more music than I have listened to yearly over the past 20 years. 2005 was my highest listening year ever, and while I'm not on pace to break that record, I'm on place to come close to it and shatter every other year in between.

Anyway, that's just a me thing, it's helped me feel like myself again, re-embracing really enjoying music in a way I have not over the past 16 years of being with two different partners (one for 2 years, another for 13 years). It's like a celebration of 20 years of loving music and coming back into my own and becoming more me again, and less codependent on others and letting them drive the music.

Wow, thank you for this response. I hadn't thought of tracking music preferences as a tool for self discovery.

@tofu My system has been stable and I left it running for a while. However unfortunately it ran out of disk space. I really need to get round to putting images on a separate volume as these are the ones that run out, and unfortunately after reducing old images it was not working, probably database corruption due to no space. Anyway after a bit of a panic then running my restore script I'm running again.

Does anyone know how to get a static IP for their server when their ISP doesn't allow it. I've found out how to use duckdns, but I want to set up my own DNS server from anywhere but I'm pretty sure it requires using a static IP.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 weeks ago

Dynamic DNS is the usual way. Your ISP assigns the IP, so they're the only ones who can make it static.

You might be able to do it with some VPN shenanigans, but generally dynamic DNS is what you want. It's basically a script that runs on your server that will periodically update the IP on the DNS entries.
