Yup, clearly.
go to therapy to show that you are really working on yourself.
More specifically, you should go to therapy to really work on yourself. Not to show anyone anything; you're not trying to make this a performance. The change well be visible by itself, given time and work.
Past decisions aside, good on you for trying to make things better. All the best for you two!
*Overpaid
I run a J5040 ITX board for my homelab needs, which has been released a few years ago and has served me well, even through I run it with more RAM than the board specs allow. The natural successors of that are the Atom N100/N105 and the i3 N300/N305 (all 1 Gen newer than J5040) and AFAIK the Atom N150 and i3 N350 (2 Gen newer), all of which are available on ITX boards. Models for the latest chips might be a but rare though, and you might have to go to AliExpress to get one, but for the N100/105/300/305, there's a wide variety available. Just make sure to get one with enough SATA ports for all your disks, so you can use it for NAS as well.
Disclaimer: I'm quite sure this is enough for your homelab/NAS use-case, but I'm not familiar with Minecraft requirements, and you might need beefier hardware for that. However, the above boards leave enough room in your budget for RAM, NVMe and HDDs, should deliver quite some bang for the little buck you have, and will barely sip energy, making cooling easy.

I'm not much of an expert on Bluetooth, but I would expect that you can create an override for the corresponding Systemd service (bluetoothd
perhaps, or some Logitech daemon) and make it depend on a Target that is reached earlier in the boot process.
Sorry that I can't be more helpful...
Interesting option, I'm familiar with Git, YAML and yq
. Thank you!
Uuuuh, thank you for the info, it's very much appreciated!
They interoperate though, so if you're happy with using a mix of them, go for it.
Same goes for nala
, BTW.
Well, I do have a PaperlessNGX already, so I could use a custom field for SerialNo or something like that, but I just feel like PNGX isn't really designed for this task.
Not at all, I like .md
, and I'm familiar with Git. A spreadsheet is not something that I would throw into Git, but an .md
...
Thanks, that sounds really nice!
HA, the term I was looking for is even on their website: "Asset Management Software". My non-native speaker ass didn't come up with this.
Thank you, I will check those out.
Though it sounds interesting for tinkering, I'm probably not doing down the NoCode route. You make it, you maintain it forever, and I don't have that kind of time.
Oh yeah, I was planning to deploy Grocy anyway, but I never thought about using it for this. Thank you!
Yep, maybe it really is. I just wanted to see of there's something nicer out there before settling.
I think I recall seeing Netbox a while ago, and I remember thinking that it would be something I'd like to use at work, but we already have idoit there (which I hate passionately).

Looking for ... inventory management, I guess?
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a system that:
- I can self host
- Is slim, because I don't have beefy hardware (Intel J5040, 32GB RAM, shared by all VMs/containers)
- can be used to create an inventory of all the tech/hardware that I have in my house (not exclusively IT, I also wasn't to track things like warranty for my chainsaws and the like)
- does take at least the device make/model, serial number (for insurance cases) and warranty dates
- is not some kind of enterprise-how-many-items-of-this-article-do-i-have-in-stock-things, because that seems to be the only thing I seem to be able to find, and they neither match my use case nor do they seem to be lightweight enough.
... and honestly, I don't even know where to start looking. Do you guys have any recommendations?
Of course, I could just use a spreadsheet, but where's the fun in that?
EDIT: Thank you all so much for the engaged discussion and all the suggestions, you're the best!
Clearly bad IMO, but I won't shame you for your preferences.
They have an incredible smell.
Ugh, don't bring that up again.
It's really simple: one chonky bear converts to 4 lynxes, which weigh 17 raccoons, which in turn weigh exactly 7 armadillos, that come down to 638 roaches.
Upwards conversion is just as easy: one chonky bear is exactly 1/3 of a Swasticar, which converts to 2/7 of a large boulder the size of a small boulder.
My wife did it about eightish years ago with her narcissistic, controlling, lying father, and her life has become much better because of it. He's still sometimes throwing tantrums or trying to manipulate her (they still sometimes meet at family functions, of it can't be avoided), but the mere fact that he doesn't know our address has made her SO much more relaxed and happy than she's been before. Bonus is that it makes him livid, because he can't control her.
Her sister has cut the ties with him much more recently, and has seen the same effects on her mental health, but she's also struggling more with it, because she grew up with him (instead of their mother, as has my wife) and because he knows where they live and it enables him to try and manipulate her into returning.
From what I've seen, it does take initial and continued strength to cut the ties, but it seems very much worth it in the long run. (Disclaimer: YMMV)
The Forgejo guys have built this themselves, so I'm aiming to use that (I don't just yet, because I can't find the time).

Shoutrrr alternative
Basically the title. I was trying Beszel monitoring, which supports alerting via Shoutrrr, but with Shoutrrr being an abandoned project, are there any well-maintained forks that the community has agreed to use?
If not, what are your recommendations? In familiar with all things sysadmin, but I'm new to notification tools, hence me asking. Bonus points for single binary deployment and frugal use of resources; I'm sick of running a stack of fat container images. Boring is good.
Thank you everyone!
