Basically trickery with alleged lossless, but it is not even close to lossless and you need very special players that can unfold MQA. Tidal got a lot of criticism for it and eventually switched away to FLAC…but the way they handled it was pretty bad and it still brushes me the wrong way.


I rather pay for the enshitification of Qobuz, than pay those crooks at Tidal any money. That MQA shit is still very deep and practically enshrined in my soul…


Yes, I did. But I couldn’t get my Homeassistant to work routing through it, so I switched back to Proxy Manager…


Basically, all of those https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/faq/article/nas-recovery-guide-for-x86-based-nas There are some older models that can only boot from the DOM, however most newer ones (especially the AMD Ryzen ones, which i personally would highly recommend) have no issue. The early TS-X77 models do not boot from NVME, but that can be overcome with some creativity :)


You could do all that, yes - but that’s not really “replacing” a Synology IMHO. The point is that you don’t really have to think about putting it all together correctly - put the drives in, install your OS of choice and that’s it.


I’ve had a look and sadly, they are not available in Europe (at least for any reasonable price).



Get an x86 Qnap and put Truenas Scale on it - there is no case in that form factor in existence.

Do it anyway and put an x86 OS on one of the “standard UEFI” versions. There’s no other Hardware better on the market for this - even self build isn’t going to come close, there’s simply no case with 8 hotswap slots (for example).


QNAP x86, standard uefi! Can run anything. Been running mine with Proxmox, ZFS, Runtipi and others. Easy GUI setup for everything, Runtipi is just clicking add for various things.


In my “testing” at work and private, PVE is miles ahead of xcp-ng n terms of performance. Sure, xcp-ng does it’s thing very stable, but everything else…proxmox is faster


If you want things to just work: Chromecast with Android TV, plus PiHole or Adguard to pull out of all the telemetry and advertising (except maybe Amazon Prime’s new stuff).

Also, Google at least gives you the possibility to pull out of the personalized stuff and doesn’t work much with 3rd party advertiser’s. And those they work with are being taken care of with PiHole and Adguard.



Absolutely! And I think that’s actually what happened :)


Sure - i should have mentioned, that the system itself runs not on the ZFS but from it’s own SSD. So a “ZFS Cache in Memory Bit-Flip” should (theoretically…) not cause a hard-lock/freeze. It would probably trigger a complete garbage collection though.

And yes - that’s what was so confusing to me, no kernel panic, no log entry…nothing, just a sudden, random freeze.


It also wouldn’t cause Hard-Locks and Freezes without any errors


It probably did - but that’s not why the server crashed :)


First time correlating a crash to a CME (probably Bit-Flip/SEU)
I've been running my most recent Server built for quite some time now. I think Uptime was somewhere around 5 Months. Absolutely flawless. A few Days ago i started to have issues. Hard-Locks, Freezing...but absolutely zero log entries. Nothing. The Server was built with "off the shelf" Hardware and no ECC (even though the Ryzen CPU technically supports it, at the time ECC 3200 MHz Memory was still a lot more expensive than it is now) and is running a ZFS. Risky business, but it's "just" a home server. Would never built a server running mission critical stuff like that (and I've been doing that for over 10 years now as my main job). Over the last few weeks, i've been trying some stuff and had a pretty high memory load. In any case, i also like Astrophysics and have some newsletters about Auroras and so on. They are extremely rare, here in southern Germany to occur. Yesterday we had one of the biggest and brightest I've ever seen. But it got me thinking about my hard locks and crashes and i remembered, i had an account for ESA's SSCC (SSA Space Weather Coordination Centre). They have something called "Post-Event Analysis", where you can correlate certain timestamps to real time data, for example from DSCOVR ("THE" Space Weather Satellite). For Auroras to occur, the so called "Bz-Value" is important. Basically, it tells the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field. If it's direction is towards the sun and towards the charged particles the sun throws at us, they get deflected. If it's with the direction of the solar wind, the particles "come in" and produce auroras...because the charged particles charge other parts - they generally charge oxygen, which results in green auroras - they also can do all sorts of stuff (and that's why spaceships, sats and other stuff floating around in space need shielding). The Value is measured in nanoTesla(nT). [There's also the Kp-Index...which was 7-8, out of 9. ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-index#G-scale) So yeah - i'm pretty sure, i experienced a Single-Event Upset/Bit-Flip. Amazing stuff! Edit: Picture of the Aurora https://i.imgur.com/TIxketJ.jpg

DHCP leases work - they are also correctly registered with the Hostname, it’s just those that have a static IPv4 configured (outside the DHCP range of course) It also does work for some, but for Homeassistant and PVE for example it does not…


For what? Both DHCP and DNS are turned off on both routers 🤔 Tried turning it on, but that didn’t change anything…


PiHole local DNS Config understanding issues
Hi, been running PiHole with my FritzBox as DHCP Server for a while now. Just got Fibre and the new router doesn't support "only" setting an upstream DNS (neither does it support setting a domain suffix/local domain). I've switched the DHCP off and now PiHole does DHCP as well. The FritzBox and the new Router added the domain suffix to recognized hostnames automatically, so even if i set up a fixed IP-Address on some device or machine, i could always use the hostname.local.domain without having to set a reservation. Can PiHole/AdGuard/Technitium even do this? Do they need some extra configuration? PiHole does recognize the Hostnames correctly for some devices, but most are missing: For example, my Proxmox host was reachable with "pve.domain.local", it isn't with PiHole, even though PiHole identified the hostname. My Homeassistant isn't recognized at all, even though the IP-Address is showing up in PiHole. The Domain under "Advanced DHCP Settings" is set up. Am i misunderstanding something or did i configure something wrong? Thanks!

Apache and OpenSSL must be enabled and OpenSSL version must be 0.96d or older.

Right. Completely proven wrong.


…some Linux machines definitely need anti-virus software. Samba or NFS servers, for instance, may store documents in undocumented, vulnerable Microsoft formats, such as Word and Excel, that contain and propagate viruses. Linux mail servers should run AV software in order to neutralize viruses before they show up in the mailboxes of Outlook and Outlook Express users.[

Which is exactly what I said. ClamAV serves a very specific purpose and that’s this one.

There are still no viruses for Linux specifically designed to break in to Linux, because it’s not possible.


There are none. ClamAV is the only one there is, because it has a very specific and narrow purpose. There are no viruses for Linux.

Chrootkit and rkhunter are also built for very specific things (detecting rootkits - or making them) and are not designed to protect, they are designed to analyse.

My writing here also isn’t specifically to OP, but to all others that may find this thread - Anti Virus for Linux is BS and unless you are running SMB and still have lots of Windows in your network, it’s absolutely not needed, especially if you follow the basics (like not doing stuff as root, using sudo and not giving out any system rights).



Proxy, Authentique (or what’s it called - Authentication on all stuff) and Dashy. In both cases it’s like: I want easy self hosted at home, I’m not at work. Tbh, I don’t even care for Passwords in my home net. If anyone is already inside my net, I either trust them or if not, things have gone wrong very much and that’s probably my last concern. I also don’t expose anything to the outside…Zero Tier ftw.


The basic gist of it is, Telekom switches back to DSL only, if it detects VPN traffic. And that’s only 2 Mbit/s upload. However, with the 5G Hybrid and SSL Connections on Port 443 i do get the full 60-90 Mbit/s upload. I could just put the Telekom router in my “main” network and have it be the Gateway, but that doesn’t go well with some devices i have.

I don’t really want to host stuff, i’m fine with having to make a connection (like WireGuard or a VPN), but if i do it directly, i only get DSL Speeds, because WireGuard is also “detected” now. Everything that’s not Port 443 or Port 80 get’s routed over DSL…


Two routers - one exit point?
Hi, for various reasons i have two routers. (In fact, one is a FritzBox hosting various SmartHome stuff, another is a Speedport from Telekom Germany, that also does the Internet Connection) The WiFi on the FritzBox is also a lot better and right now i don't have any need to get anything better (all that matters has Rj45 anyway). This however also is an issue, because i can't easily host something. I have however a Hetzern Server as well and i have tried some zerotier, but i have failed to set it up correctly. Is there an easier way or has anyone something like an How-To for this that works? Thanks :)

Most of the time it’s called “Vaultwarden” and since Bitwarden is OpenSource, it’s basically the same. Except that selfe hosted you do not have access to the haveibeenpawned API for your yearly subscription. Which is why my personal Vaulwarden is “only” a backup.
