After a month of testing I can say that this player is the best I've ever found for self hosted servers such as navidrome and jellyfin (it also has plex but I have abandoned). On the site reports that there is also a linux desktop version but not yet tested. That will be my paradise for self hosted music 🥹

Lol I just learned that the reason for Xbox Cloud putting that 15, 10, and 5 hour limits on is "because it is getting more heavily used"
Sooo who thinks they had to rack some more gaming Hardware into their datacenters?
You know gaming hardware you could have had yourself at home and not pay a monthly subscription for? -
Fictional person to me: "What did you do for the holiday weekend?"
Me: "Oh, I migrated virtual machines between Proxmox servers." -
Just realised I should have upgraded from Proxmox 8 to 9 a week ago. Oops. Luckily it seems to have gone without a hitch.

Hm, I got ahead a little bit more. It turns out that PromQL already has the "count_over_time" metric, which counts the number of samples of a metric. This has for example shown a couple of metrics from k8s which produce almost 20k samples per minute, e.g. "etcd_request_duration_seconds_bucket". But I still haven't found a way to count the per-metric samples for a local block.
Need to dig a bit deeper into the TSDB Go package.

Having an iced coffee while I design the nomenclature for my upcoming network drops at home.
So far it’s:
<floor>-<zone>-<seq><run>Where:
* <floor> is a 2-letter floor code;
* <zone> is a 3-letter zone code;
* <seq> is the 1-indexed sequence;
* <run> is a letter, starting from A, identifying the run for plates with multiple ports or backup cablinge.g.:
RC-SSM-2A
RC-CUI-1A
SS-LAB-3BMy biggest dilemma comes from being reluctant to name zones according to the current function of the zone, in case that changes later. I could use cardinal points too. But they’re less intuitive.
Absolutely overthinking this but it brings me joy haha.

About bloggning.
It was no problem SSHing home to write blog posts in Nano and then running some home-brewed scripts. But my eyes aren’t what they used to be, and the keyboard in Termius is pretty bad. Not to mention getting no help with spell check (dyslexic). So I hacked together my own very simple interface.

Dockhand is a modern, self-hostable Docker management UI for containers, Compose stacks, remote Docker hosts, Git deployments, logs, terminals, and more.
It’s free for personal and internal business use. Note: Dockhand uses the Business Source License 1.1 (BSL 1.1), not a traditional open-source license.

Sonarr v4.0.19.3011 is here with another incremental update to keep your TV automation running smooth. Time to pull that new image. #selfhosted #homelab

As you know I switched to #quad9 from #cloudflare the other day. My completely and scientific assessment of performance can be seen in picrel. quad9 (orange) responds in ~10ms, cloudflare in ~19ms (green), #google in ~22ms (blue). Yellow is my upstream ISP (3-5ms).
So yes if you care about milliseconds use quad9 I guess?

Das CEPH von Proxmox nun endlich mit dem Talos Kubernetes per CSI-Treiber verbunden.
HA-fähiges Deployment von Mariadb und Redis war dann nach erstes Test mit eigenen Operatoren (und Kubernetes Datentypen) auch nicht mehr so kompliziert.

Gonna do a livestream at 3pm Eastern today. Something in the selfh.st newsletter stuck with me and I want to talk about it and get some opinions. #homelab #selfhosting

:haacknet: Haack's Networking :haacknet:
✍️ Hijacking DNS & Stopping DoH
🔗 https://tech.haacksnetworking.org/2026/09/06/hijacking-dns-stopping-doh/
🧻 This tutorial is designed for #openwrt users and #pihole / #unbound users looking for a clean way to protect your LAN's DNS. This tutorial used a dedicated vlan/subnet with 4 Wyze v4 cams but/and can easily be extended to any IoT devices one chooses. There are three types of actions covered in this tutorial:
- Hijacking plain-text udp 53 and udp 853 DNS requests
- Hijacking tcp 853 (DoT) requests
- Dropping DoH requests for specified upstream DNS ips📜 I hope people find this tutorial helpful. Feedback and comments are welcome. For those seeking assistance and/or if you want to chat about setup or other Linuxy stuffs, feel free to swing by the GNU/Linux Club Matrix over at https://matrix.to/#/#introductions:gnulinux.club

My homelab naming scheme died years ago and I never held a funeral.
Started with planets. Ran out of planets, added moons. Then switched to Norse gods for the VMs, except the ones I named after whatever I was annoyed at that day. Somewhere in there is a host called temp-do-not-use that has been in production for two years.
I can't rename anything now because I don't remember what half of them do.
What's your scheme, and which "temporary" name is still running?

I just realised my backups on my homelab weren’t working for several months because I had changed the IP of the target backup machine. Oops. Check your backups people!

So now the plan is to dig deeper, into which precise metrics produce exactly how much data on disk. To have a proper basis for deciding which to keep, and which to throw away.
This might very well end with me writing a Prometheus exporter which regularly analyses the most recent 14 day block and provides the stats.
First step: Looking at the TSDB block and checking what tools for analysis are already available.

Okay, time to chose a yak and get to shaving. The one I finally ended up on is my metrics situation. I like metrics. I like charts. And I've got the 600 GB Thanos S3 bucket to prove it. My 14 day compacted blocks currently have 565 MB per day.
And I'd like to know what produces that large amount of data. I already looked at it in detail last year, but the measures I took, excluding a lot of metrics, didn't really make much of a dent in the ingest rate.

After some time with me new proxmox based homeserver I'm quite happy and managed to reduce the idle power consumption even further to just below 20W which is for a full homeserver with a ZFS pool and spinning disks way less than I hoped for.
Write up for this in my blog: https://solariz.de/posts/26/09-proxmox-homeserver-powersavings/

Also working on having my own #HomeAssistant theme based on my personal home brand, in the design of Apple’s #LiquidGlass design language.
This is actually not really easy to do even with Claude. Takes a lot of iterations for him to investigate the DOM, still ongoing...
