  • This just doesn’t make sense.

    You wouldn’t say the same when talking about other products. If you buy ibuprofen for example you wouldn’t say “it can’t be packaged to scientific standards, it has to be packaged to ours” if you try to weigh a single pill with your kitchen scale.

    Stuff HAS to be packaged to scientific standards. Period.

    If your tools at home aren’t accurate enough or simply aren’t properly calibrated for a specific job, it can’t be the fault of the producer.

    If you use a 2€ kitchen scale that is 10 years old you can’t blame the producer if your measurement is off by 10%.

    The producer cannot make sure YOUR equipment is proper for the task, and they can’t make sure EVERYONES scales see the exact same. So of course they have to weigh with their own scales and surprise surprise they use extremely precise scales that are properly calibrated and tested regularly.











  • Even better:

    1. Click 7 times on your Build Version in the Info tab of your settings to enable developer mode
    2. Enable USB Debugging in the developer options
    3. Install Android SDK on your PC
    4. Connect phone via USB and click trust this PC
    5. open terminal
    6. adb shell
    7. pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.partnersetup

    Boom, completely uninstalled.

    While you’re at it, you can go ahead and uninstall all the other bloat shit you don’t want; Facebook services, Microsoft shit and other google stuff you don’t want.






  • Any reason you chose pfSense over opnSense ? I heard opnSense was better or something.

    I really want to go down that rabbithole aswell and get myself some real network appliance with 10gig ethernet and take control over my network. I currently have a Fritz!Box by AVM that i bought myself so not via my ISP so it’s already fairly controlled and configured by only me… but it has it’s limitations; I can’t setup PXE boot for example.


  • I started with a basic as shit NAS and was happy with it.

    Then i wanted Hardware Acceleration for my Plex Server because i wanted to stream high resolution content when i was out of the house.

    I then rebuilt my old Gaming Rig into a server.

    After i realized that i now have much more power to use i started to host a bunch of services; AdGuard, Plex, Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Overseerr, Homarr, Lidarr, SabNZBs, Kavita, Kaizoku, HomeBox, HomeAssistant, Nextcloud, FoundryVTT, PaperlessNGX, Audiobookshelf, Romm and Whisper for my HomeAssistant.

    That’s stuff i would’ve never even had the chance to host on something simple like a little NAS.

    Oh and most homelabs are NOT racks with 2 cores… in my case, old gaming PC with Ryzen 5 2600X, 16Gigs of Ram and GTX1660 Super
