Has anyone used n8n and Node Red and could compare them?
I use HomeAssistant automations for all my home stuff, it has an official easy to add Node Red integration available. I played with it a little in the past but didn’t really see any value for me at the time. Now I’m looking to set up a new automation tool that’s not necessarily hardware/home type stuff, moreso the kind of...
Question on Proxmox Pools (I'm a bit of a noob)
I’ve added 2 external USBs of 2TB each to my Proxmox server and created a Resource Pool called USB_HDD containing both. I created an Ubuntu VM, but I can’t allocate all 4TB to it in one go - it only allows me to add each one as a separate SCSI device. When I start to install the OS it only allows the install onto one of the...

APC server rack with threaded holes instead of cage nuts
Just picked up an APC 48u server rack. There were no pictures of it in the post and I did not notice until I got it home and set up, that the rack rails have threaded holes instead of square cage nut holes. I can’t seem to determine the thread size and pitch, and have a thread gauge coming. Until then, does anyone know...

Can a Lemmy instance be configured to only permanently store posts made by users on the local instance, and posts to communties that are on the local instance?

Email Hosting w/SMTP, what do you use?
I’ve recently been trying to degoogle myself, and in doing so I’m going to need another email. I tried ProtonMail, but apparently only business accounts can use SMTP, even though their features claim SMTP access. I’m plenty fine paying for the service, but going from the $6/month to $12/month just to get notification...

What are the hardware requirements for hosting a Lemmy instance for a single account?
I’m interested in possibly hosting my own Lemmy instance - just for my own account. I was thinking of hosting it on Raspberry Pi (possibly the 1GB Pi 4 B), but I couldn’t find much for definitive information on what the hardware requirements would be for such an instance to know if this is even possible. How much storage is...

I run pfsense on a mini PC router from aliexpress that has an Intel n100 cpu in it, so I guess the bios is intel as well.

Old PC Homelab Motherboard Replacement Considerations?
