Depends, take a look at the rest of your settings in the Archiving page.

You might have set “Never delete Unread Articles”.

Also, that purge job is on a cron. I’m not sure how often it’ll run. Could be once a week or even month. Thousands of rss articles and links are only a few megabytes big. But you can push the “purge now” button at the bottom of the archiving page to check your settings.

What’s the problem exactly?

Seconded obsidian + syncthing. My phone and my wife’s phone sync the obsidian notes folder to each other. We have shopping/grocery lists. So when one of us thinks of something we put it on the list, and when one of us goes to the store we have a combined list. It’s very nice.

Not sure there was anything you could have done differently, but there is plenty that you learned. Don’t give up, think of it like an extended interview process that you got further in, but didn’t work out. If you got one, you can get another. Next time ask for a setup with wifi, preferably a laptop. Most companies do laptops in my experience anyway. The fact that this last company insisted on wired AND blocked your travel router goes to show how incompetent they were. You might have dodged a bullet. If the next company insists on wired, now you can choose to explain your situation or jump straight to the private room for work.

Wasn’t too difficult as they already offered Linux as a supported option. But I had to justify it. I was already using a linux VM for all my actual work. So I complained about all the buggy behavior I had experienced. Didn’t have to exagerate too much. I was properly modivated after IT sent out an email announcing the forced migration to Win11.

I use FireDragon. Not on your list, but it’s yet another Firefox fork to look at.

Yup! Here’s a helpful link in case you feel like spreading the joy.

Microsoft Defender.

I convinced my work to let me use linux on their laptop. They sent me instructions for setup. One of them was to install Microsoft Defender, had a link to the Ubuntu package and everything. Blew my mind.

Unsure, does this answer help?

If what that says looks right, then that’s probably not what you’re looking for.

Disclaimer: I’m not a networking guy, but I’ve worked with them.

If you’re looking for security, you set up vlans. I don’t know enough about your setup to know if you setup a vlan, or just a separate subnet.

The goal is to have separate vlans, to block all traffic between the two networks, and then add exceptions in the ACL. The ACL is essentially a firewall between the two vlans.

With this in place the smart device can’t scan your network to gather info. Also, if it gets infected, it can only attack through the opened routes or the other devices on the vlan.

Having gone through the approval process at a large company to add an open source project to it’s whitelist, it was surprisingly easy. They mostly wanted to know numbers. How long has it been around, when was the last update, number of downloads, what does it do, etc. They mostly just wanted to make sure it was still being maintained.

In their eyes, they also don’t audit closed source software. There might also have been an antivirus scan run against the code, but that seemed more like a checkbox than something that would actually help.

Does your pc’s mobo have 2 m.2 slots? If so, that’s a great solution. If you do decide to stick with linux, that gives you two hdds. If not, you might want to consider buying a m.2 ssd to usb enclosure too. You can use it to transfer files you want to keep or for ventoy or backups.

Just home assistant doesn’t move the needle. The llms hit the igpu hard and my cpu usage spikes to 70-80% when one is thinking.

But my llms i’m running are ollama and invokeai each with several different models just for fun.

I have a very similar NAS I built. The Home Assistant usage doesn’t really even move the needle. I’m running around 50 docker containers and chilling at about 10% cpu.

My amd igpu works just fine for jellyfin. LLMs are a little slow, but that’s to be expected.

DACs are great, agreed. However try telling that to the guy next door. The reason ethernet got to be so popular was because of how familiar it was and similar it us to telephone wire. There were several other competing standards befofe ethernet won.

10GbE cards and switches help regular folk upgrade without needing to learn about DACs.

Right?! Most affordable 10G switches are SFP+ which requires a lot more research to make sure you get the right modules and cabling.

Not quite what you’re asking for, but you can self-host ollama. And based on some recent lawsuits against meta, I’m pretty sure all companies are using as many books as they can get their hands on to train their models. And so their training set contains the books you have in Calibre and more.

Try asking llama3.3 or whichever model you choose your questions.

Nice! Good to know that if Unraid goes downhill I have a good alternative.

Huh, maybe my TrueNAS experience is a little dated. Last I used it, everything was k8s and bo docker-compose at all.
