May or may not be applicable to your case, but often applications need additional configuration to work with a reverse proxy. Usually setting from what IPs it will accept forward headers from (your reverse proxy) and what the original requested host was (externally requested domain, eg: yourservice.yourdomain.com)

If your new setup has resulted in changes to either of those things, the issue might be a now-incorrect config of your apps behind the reverse proxy.

What nobody foresaw was that the internet allowed these benign isolated idiots to connect and form a super-cell, and begin coordinated recruitment.

You can set up a “personal cloud” on a machine in your house that you can use as a “cloud” from anywhere. There are a lot of free software options to achieve such a thing.

“Nextcloud” it a pretty broad way to do that. You can run it from an always-on desktop.

There are a ton of nerds (myself included) who do this kinda thing, and we have our nerd communities on Lemmy and elsewhere. The general term is “self hosted”.

You mean they’ve adapted? Learned to copy our DNA?

Oh nice, I’ll give that a shot. I was using IOTlink but the service wasn’t reliable on my machine and needed to be restarted constantly…

I’ll give HASS.agent a shot! Thanks

If you get a reliable way to sleep a windows machine via MQTT (not sure if that’s a route you’d take) but I’d be super interested in hearing about it.

I had a similar revelation. Home assistant has a WOL component, so you can set that up for easy starts. I’ve had mixed success with mechanisms to get HA to sleep the computer, though.

Ideally I want the machine to be sleeping I’d I’m not using it.

I’d never looked at them before, but yeah that super flower super modular supply looks pretty sweet. It looks like it has a ton of ports that I assume can be wired up as whatever you need.

For me, the splitters were just generic: they plug to an existing molex out connector and give you 5 SATAs on a ribbon.

https://a.co/d/gXtQ3Qp is what I’d bought, just for reference. The power supply I used them with wasn’t modular (ancient) and so whatever it had was what there was.

Maybe I misread, but if you are planning on having two different PSUs in play for the same system, it’s my understanding that it’s important to make sure the DC outputs share a common ground, which might be a little extra wiring.

Depending on how power hungry the drives are, and if your PSU has enough spare power, you can get cable splitters. I had some spare molex ports which I plugged a cable from Amazon that split it into 5 SATA power connectors.

You don’t want to infinitely split cables though, as tempting as that can be, because there are real electrical limits to doing that. Also just because a power supply is rated at X watts, that’s the total. Hard drives will use the 5V and 12V rails and usually there are individual limits on each rail.

Upgrading the PSU is another option. Probably the cleanest easiest best solution IMO. But even then, you probably can’t find a PSU that’ll give you 12 SATA connectors out of the box so you’ll probably need some splitters in there anyways.

In my case specifically, I’ve actually got a second power supply (because i already had it and it was otherwise just gathering dust) powering the extra drives. It’s a bit more complicated to get set up but, it’s an option as well.

Edit: also if you’re asking yourself where can you physically PUT the drives, I 3D printed these and slapped some fans on them:

He’s not an asshole for disliking a Nazi. He’s an asshole for deciding to spring a question he knows the answer to which apparently demands of him to boycott a wedding.

His idiot brother likes Elon Musk. The brother isn’t disinviting him. OP is the one who created and is enforcing a rule about Elon.

I have no idea what the family dynamics are, but if they’re otherwise good and you’re willing to burn your family relationships because they don’t share your views on Elon Musk, wowza.

It’s amazing to me how willing people are to play the part of the shrill reee-ing blue haired archetype foil that Republicans created.

I’m going to get drunk and ruin a wedding. THAT will fix the world.

No, dumbass, it’s going to validate everything fox news has been telling their base about the left. You have absolutely no self awareness, and will ruin your brother’s wedding as if he was the CEO of Shell even though he’s a construction worker in rural Montana.

Be the strawman the Republicans want you to be!

Could be. Tolerance and assholes aren’t binary states, so it depends on the context what the measure is.

If someone intentionally steps on an ant at a funeral, and I decide I’m not going to let it slide and interrupt the eulogy to give an impassioned lecture about how needless killing is immoral, even if it’s an ant, I’d be an asshole.

If I saw some schoolyard bullies beating up a kid and I didn’t intervene I’d be an asshole.

“I waggle my dick in front of my brother and he punches it every time”

From OPs context, and they could certainly clarify, but it sounds like they just won’t shut up about class struggle, wealth inequality… For which for the terminally online there is an endless appetite for and you can find a cozy echo chamber to nuzzle up in.

So his brother doesn’t share the same views on Elon musk.ok. he obviously knows this by now. Why does he insist on asking about it? Why ask a question that has no bearing on either of your lives where if you don’t get an agreement on you’ll be so mad you’ll not go to their wedding when you know the answer ahead of time.

They’re both assholes. He shouldn’t go to the wedding but honestly based on the context as presented I don’t think the brother is going to be upset about it.

You can do whatever you want with your own life, but many of those things will make you an asshole.

The question posed is “will doing the thing I want to do make me an asshole”

Beyond the other suggestions, your OS might have incoming network rules that are blocking the requests (a firewall).

I found Area 51!!

That’s like saying the road is the cause of all car crashes.

The road is the context in which all (mostly all) crashes occur, its contours or grading maybe contributed to the crash, but it almost never would be the sole cause.

Most people who just wave their hands and say “patriarchy” are parrots who just know they get a cracker when they say the line. It’s resulted in trash discourse.

It’s resulted in people just tuning out when they hear the word, too.

Kinda sucks, because it’s a really useful foundation to talk about society through a certain lens. It’d be hard to talk about traffic if I didn’t understand what a road was.

But, I admit, many people who pipe up with “patriarchy” don’t really want to talk any farther, and that does make dealing with those people pretty frustrating. Like if a cop showed up at every crash and excitedly pointed out the existence of a road and then left.

As others have said, running out of motherboard SATA slots doesn’t mean you need a new machine to support expansion.

You can get m2 adapter slots for more SATA drives.

If you think you’ll be building a NAS in the future, and are cheap like I am, you might consider getting a pci-e expansion card for SAS rather than SATA drives. They’re backwards compatibile with SATA drives, but open you up to being able to use SAS drives which are common in enterprise data centers. You can get used lots of those drives on eBay WAY cheaper per TB when the data centers hour them out.

I’ve got a machine with 16 SAS drives running the unRaid OS, and I’m very happy with it for data hoarding and media serving. The drives (with shipping) cost $5/TB.
