    Unraid lessons learnt?

    Bearing in mind I've only dabbled with the VM side of things for HomeAssistant, so this might not be the smartest or most effective way to do things :) There are a few community plug-ins and tools within the App store that can do the job of running a scheduled backup task of your appdata and VM...

    Unraid lessons learnt?

    Say goodbye to your family because Unraid is a gateway drug into the world of homelabs and self-hosting :D I've been running Unraid on a N54L for several years now, having flirted with WHS2011 for a short time before that. Set it up right, and it's literally set it and forget it. I think the...

    Good Cheap Server - HP Proliant Microserver 4 BAY - OWNERS THREAD

    Not entirely sure yet, tbh and nothing's changed I can think of. It's been running Unraid and some docker containers 24/7 for years now with no problems, but in the last fortnight have had it go completely unresponsive and become unreachable over the network while sounding like it's about to...

    Home Assistant beginners

    Thanks, super helpful! Do you have any personal recommendations on brands/hardware? I've seen the BTF LED's rate quite well, but not sure if there's a good go-to for the boards and power supply.

    I'm tempted to start messing around with ESP32 and LED strips using HA, with a view to potentially move away completely or work in tandem with Hue products. Has anyone had any good or bad experiences trying something similar?

    Power Tools & General Tools Recommendations & Advice

    Yeah, I ended up doing the same. Bloke at the desk had to check it himself twice to make sure it was the right one.

    Haha, no way. I followed your post and discussion and made the exact same purchase, and received the wrong item too :D

    LG OLED + PS5 users (simplink problem)

    They've always done this afaik (even with the PS4), the rubbish recommended solution has always been to switch your HDMI input before turning the TV off. That way when you turn it back on it doesn't turn the console on too. There are posts on avforums, lg, and sony forums and each says its an...

    Can HDMI cable degrade over time?

    This plagued me for just over a year, swapping cables seemed to fix it for a bit but eventually came back after a while. Turned out to be the PSVR passthrough, once I disconnected that from the setup haven't had the issue once.

    Whats the verdict? Considering an upgrade myself but can't decide between the Apex Pro, the G815, or the HyperX Elite 2.

    Been chipping away at this guy over the past week. Build was quite fun with very few visible studs, but putting it all together was a test in patience: https://imgur.com/a/Ytq26oC edit: I suck at IMG tags.

    LG c9 OLED

    After umming and erring over Black Fri I finally caved and bought one in the Boxing Day sales. Turned up today and have spent some of the day getting it installed and set up. It looks like I'll need to upgrade my current amp though as it's a bit long in the tooth but has been going strong all...

    I went with one from Wicked Brick in the end, I've got some of their other display units too and they're pretty tasty imo. Looking forward to see what they do for the UCS Star Destroyer.
