Switching to Electric Heating
  • Lol. I (Quebecer) have 200a panel, electric resistive heating (in every room including a detached garage, no central AHU) + mini-split heat pump + electric car charger + electric water heater and my power demand never go above 15 kW (which equates to ~ 62 Amps).

  • What’s the state of TrueNAS CORE?

    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?
  • 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.

  • Les pubs pour l'alcool
  • 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.

  • [Help]Stream music to my headphones through Bluetooth

    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!

    VMs or containers?
  • Why not do both ? As I understand it, to do kubernetes clusters, you must have at least 3 hosts. They don’t need to be 3 different physical hosts: they could be VM (hosted on Proxmox).

    Proxmox also having a very strong implementation of ZFS, then it could be used as the storage « host », and it gives you also the option to do snapshots of the VM (and the storage pool), as well as replication/etc.
