What’s the state of TrueNAS CORE? (programming.dev)
 

Should I bother to keep using it or shall I just bite the pill and move to SCALE? I have 3 jails and I’m seriously considering my TrueNAS instance as a storage only, and resort to VM and containers on a dedicated machine to use applications.

Should I wait for the BPI R4? in c/homelab@lemmy.ml

I know nothing about what a BPI R4 is. My take : let the router be a router : don’t run container(s) on it. If you need containers: Take a x86 box, Run an hypervisor OS (e.g. Proxmox), create a VM for your router OS (openWRT, OPNsense, etc.) and pass through your Network Interface Card(s). Then run your containers on the host OS or in a dedicated VM.

Bien d’accord avec toi. Les esprits commencent à réfléchir à ça je l’espère. Avec les nouvelles recommandations de moins de deux consommations par semaine (alors que le consensus scientifique semble plutôt dire que seul l’abstinence est sécuritaire) et l’explosion des coûts de santé, j’espère que nos élus sauront éviter les pièges du lobbyisme.

Personally, I have colour-capable bulbs in my bedroom (paired with a smart switch). Using Adaptive lighting (https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting) was a breeze to setup and offers more capabilities than I even need.

[Help]Stream music to my headphones through Bluetooth (programming.dev)
 

Hello all,

I'd like to get a bit of your help to get me started in the right direction.

I have a project that, I think is simple :

  • Trigger : I press a Zigbee action button
  • Expected result : Music is playing in my Bluetooth headphones and will stop in 30 minutes.

The gotchas that I have, for now :

  • The source file of the music is actually Tidal (a streaming platform similar to Spotify, but better).
  • My Home Assistant installation lives in a VM and has no Bluetooth capability
  • I have both a RPI3B and a ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1-N8 to my disposal

So, far, my researched lead me to come with this solution.
1 - Install Logitech Media Server (aka LMS or SqueezeServer) [Done]
2 - Install Tidal Plugin on LMS [Done]
3 - Flash my ESP32 with SqueezeLite-esp32 [Not done].
4 - Craft an automation to glue everything together. [Obviously, not done]

The problem I think I have is that my ESP32-S3 doesn't meet the 4MB PSRAM required by the SqueezeLite-esp32. Before purchasing another ESP32 with more PSRAM, I wanted to ask if you thought that I understood this properly?

Other solutions that I haven't thought of? Would using Volumio be a better solution?

Thanks for your help!

It sucks, doesn’t it? When I saw that you bought WD Red, I was heading out to the comments to alert you of that. Try to return your order, buy Seagate IronWolf instead and remember to never buy WD again.
