I am not trying to start a firestorm here, and I appreciate all of your input.

Im techy, homelabber etc. I do IT for a living, but security is generally not my strongest part (and not part of my day job in its nitty gritty form.

Ive had HA now for many years, love it to peices. Many thanks to you all that help me all the time, even by just reading everything here.

I have my HA box on an intel NUC, behind an NPM instance, and the firewall is opnsense with geoip blocking nothing but my country, and crowdsec on it as well.

I have my device(s) and my wife and two kids phones on it. I use GPS and all sorts of stuff on their devices to do automations. Its been great, and they are on board.

I have over the last number of years observed about a dozen failed attempts to login into my instance. Thats it.

But it seems like thats changing, getting alerts every 12-24 hours that its being attempted.

So, I think its time to rethink the whole thing and get straight talk on it all.

Looking into it, I have a few options but I want to have everyone chime in.

1. Nabu Casa - pay and just do that. Homelabber in my fights it, but ive spent more on dumber things...

2. Tailscale. Im already using it personally. Put it on my kids/wife phone and setup the proper ACL and move on with life. Should just function like normal, right?

3. Ive read a bit about crowdsec being installed on HA and talking to my opnsense router to pass on the blocks etc. Seems this is just kicking the can down the road though.

4.?

Again, not trying to start a war, just want some good discussion on the whys.

Appreciate it!

Someone else made a post about the clips and I didnt want to hijack it.

I got my 2 bedjets about 7 months ago now, and its been great, but im finding the entire rig that holds it up is sagging further and further away from the bed. Its as tight as it can be under the matress, but its arcing away more and more.

Anyone run into this and fix?

Mostly the title.

I hope this is allowed to post, if not I guess no one will see it. But wondering if there are such things as knockoff sheets. Once again mine is in the wash and the wife has hers on cold, im freezing all night long.

Thanks,

Good day all fellow dads (I know there are a few moms here too). I’m a 43 year old father of 2 amazing girls. I have a great life, good job, happy life. Stress at work has always been there, nothing too crazy for the most part I don’t think.

I’ve been struggling with some stuff over the last 6-9 months or so and finally got in to see a doc. Sitting down with doc we discussed what’s going on, and he had me do an assessment for anxiety and depression.

In the end, he’s wanting to try me on some anxiety meds and check back in 4-5 weeks.

I’m not opposed to meds, don’t judge anyone that uses etc, but don’t know what to feel about it. Part of me thinks this is a slippery slope that I will go down with no end in sight.

I know, not a lot to really ask here, and truthfully don’t have a lot of words, but wondering if anyone can give me some words of wisdom here.

Good day everyone,

I have finally conceded that I suck at building dashboards. And Im starting to use Claude for it, which Ive only used for automations.

I am struggling with getting anything nice out of Claude, and maybe its just me sucking at it, and if so I can deal with it.

But Im wondering if anyone has some hints/tricks that they have used that they can pass along to help. Anything that youve found that just clicked?

Any help is appreciated.

Just stumbled upon this tonight and wow im impressed.

I have a number-of-year old Intel Nuc that is running HA. Thing is a tank really happy with it.

ESPHome - great product, but for the last few years, I just faithfully do updates to it and move on. Tonight one esp was being a bit of a jerk, so I was watching the compile and at the bottom of the screen it shows something like 'this is taking a while, you should look at a remote build' or something to that effect. Waaaa?

Look into it...pair another machine, and offload the compile there, it comes back, flashes on the local machine and away it goes...

So I download the app on a Mac mini M4 I have sitting on my network doing some other heavy lifting, pair with two clicks and bam...its integrated.

My 12 minute compile was still going, so I stopped it, started it again, it's now doing the compile on my Mac mini. And wow was it fast. After the initial downloads of the files, took about 1 minute.

Maybe im late to the party, but if youre like me and this helped one of you, my work here is done.

Asking here since Sophos thread is a lot less traffic.

About 2 hours ago I started getting alerts that my network switches are ‘disconnected’. Slowly over the next 45 minutes the other sites are reporting the same thing, we are talking physically different locations.

The status page shows everything is great, and each site is showing 100% uptime from inside with my CheckMK instance, including the switches, being monitored via SNMP.

My firewalls are all online in the same central interface, so it’s not entirely down.

Anyone else seeing anything like this?

Edit: morning came and everything is happy again in their world. Status page showed nothing. It was obviously/probably DNS.

I have been using immich for a good while now, and very happy with it. Looking at everyones success and some support entries here makes me wonder which category I might fall into.

So I have dug in and checked things over before getting crazy. And I have found my docker-compose.yml differs from the one online, so I thought I would check in here first.

My current file shows:

container_name: immich_redis
image: docker.io/redis:6.2-alpine@sha256:2ba50e1ac3a0ea17b736ce9db2b0a9f6f8b85d4c27d5f5accc6a416d8f42c6d5

While the official file shows:

container_name: immich_redis
image: docker.io/valkey/valkey:9@sha256:4963247afc4cd33c7d3b2d2816b9f7f8eeebab148d29056c2ca4d7cbc966f2d9

Anything to worry about? Should I move to that on my existing 2.7.5 first? Or at all?

I cant seem to find anything about this online, and feel really bad making a post about it.

A few firmwares ago I found my mini+ is showing a prompt that the gcode is not compatible since I dont (and dont plan) use input shaping.

I figured it was glitched and a future firmware would fix, but here I am.

Am I blind? Suck a searching, or all of the above?

Thanks everyone!

Hey all, I dont post much on here since I am a pretty basic CheckMK user overall. But I am puzzled and need a hand.

I am using 2.3.0p48 currently, and have notifications to pushover (which I loooove).

All is good, and has been for a few years now.

But I finally added another person in my department, and had him setup pushover as well. We made a new pushover configuration, and set it to priority number 1 (I was 0).

Seems we can only get the notification to get to whoever is the highest priority (0). We have swapped them around and tests show it never moves on past the first one.

Both are in the right contact group etc. Just never goes to both.

Anyone share some wisdom on this?

Ive been in the 3d printing world for a number of years and loved that I can download and use others stuff. When I got into creating my own, I also shared that up. Ying/yang.

Ive gotten into 3d Scanning now, and when I scan something, now I wonder if there is a place to upload them for community to benefit from.

Have I been living under a rock this whole time, or such a thing not exist?

Me and my buddy claude have been working in Fusion this afternoon and finally got somewhere on a project I have been putting off for a few months (20?).

I finally am happy with what ive got, but when I enable supports, Im up a creek.

Is there any way I can do this?

I run Apple Photos and use the current year in Apple Photos. Once the year ends, I export out of Apple and store in Immich. This is mostly due to my use of RAW files and editing of them.

A thought occurred to me today. Why wouldn't I move my older years of pictures out of the immich database structure, and just store them in a Read Only folder where I can setup Immich to use it as a External Library?

I feel im missing something obvious, so please be gentle.

Good day all, hope all is well with everyone.
Im a 43 year old with wife and 2 great kids (15,17 girls). We are comfortable, and have everything we need.

But Im still a panic mess every day of my life. My job is stressful, but manageable, and Ive been able to move up the world through that, and have no plans to leave or concern of that employment ending.

If/when the wind blows, Im a mess thinking the house is going to blow away or shingles will blow off. If a kid coughs differently, I feel this is it, we are going to find out kid is sick and our lives will be turned upside down. I just cant get out of my own head.

This past week we travelled ~10 hours away for national volleyball competition, and had a great time as family. But when I arrived home, I have a bit of a man cold, and hated life. Im on the mend, but still feel like crap more than normal. Now that Monday is looming Im dreading work again since Ive been away a week.

Just seems like everyday I cant find anything to help me get past my own fog. Is this the cycle thats normal?

I feel 10-years ago me would kick my ass for complaining here, but Im a bit lost.

Anyone with some words of advice?

With all the claude code love lately, I get it. But our business is 100% Office365, and therefore copilot only.

Anyone using todoist with Copilot? I dont see a way to officially.

I had thought I saw a post or 100 that the app was going to paid video solution only.

Our season is just starting up and I went to confirm this is the case. But judging from the site it seems like it’s normal like other years.

Am I out to lunch? Blind? Both?
