  • I just added a 30mm case fan to my SFF. I went with a compressor style given the space constraints and restrictions (they tend to draw more current because of the load).

    It increased draw by <1 watt - it barely registers on the meter.

    I don’t think fans really make much difference. My 120mm compressor is 4w on the label (which is peak load, like startup). It probably drops back to 1/2 W after startup. And that’s a huge fan in a compressor style, equivalent to a 200mm+ in a conventional fan.


  • Yea, it’s the end of the world with Signal.

    Having such a dependcy just exposes yet another way their story doesn’t add up, like dropping SMS support because of engineering costs. Apparently, SMS is so hard to do there are free SMS apps.

    I can’t trust them at this point.

    And how does E2E require a middleman?

    More like it’s their store-and-forward servers. Why that’s on AWS, or more importantly not distributed with auto fail over is a major fail, as in “get fired” failure.






  • Fossify calendar can do this, but it’s manual. So you’d have to change the color for the event by editing the event.

    Neat idea though, to color events by attendee, though that would only work for a single person, which is why it’s by calendar - the thinking being a calendar can be for a given subject.

    I have calendars for myself, for household stuff, shared calendars get a unique color, etc. It’s pretty easy to move events to another calendar in Fossify. Just open the event and touch Calendar (near the bottom) and select the appropriate calendar. Or choose the correct calendar when setting up the event.

    I have calendars on multiple services (approx 10 calendars) - yahoo (I know, right?) Gmail, mailbox, etc, with more than one calendar on each service. Colors work fine with DavX and Fossify, even with Thunderbird on my laptop.



  • Can you be more specific?

    I first ran Proxmox on it (which ran fine, just overkill for my use-case).

    Now it’s Windows server and anything I do on it is done in a VM via VMware Workstation (since it’s free). So the host os doesn’t see much change and any changes that break things can be rolled back via a VM snapshot. Proxmox ZFS would be better for this, but I don’t need it, yet.

    You could run any Linux distro on it then use KVM for virtual machines and also docker for things like PiHole and Jellyfin.

    There’s a million ways to skin a cat, though I like using VM’s so if I need to move a service I just copy the VM to a new box. Even my docker stuff is in a VM for just this reason.
