What is the most neatest Open Source smartwatch?
  • Big fan of the PineTime for minimalism and extraordinary battery life, but the Bangle looks compelling. Maybe once the PineTime dies.

  • What's a good budget home server?
  • Definitely agree. If you need to spin up a bunch of discrete VMs for labbing, that's one thing, but noise, cooling, power consumption, and space all come into play for dedicated hardware. I host a variety of services and they all run on small, low energy hardware (which is often pretty cheap). I just spun up a matrix server on a $100 ebay HP ProDesk which has plenty of power (probably enough to deploy my whole stack).

  • Upgraded Ender 3v2 Issues
  • Not sure how hacky you want to get, but I found that my E3V2Neo got significantly more accurate once I set up independent z control.

    Unfortunately, the Mini SKR only has 4 stepper drivers, so I used my old 4.2.2 board in conjunction with the Mini SKR and klipper to enable z_tilt_adjust.

    I had a ton of trouble (bed leveling) with the regular dual-z upgrade until then. It's pretty easy to run another set of 24v wires to the old Creality board and I found a printable case to hold everything. Just make sure you use one board for both Z's rather than splitting them across two boards to avoid latency.

    I'm happy to post my klipper config if you want to try it.

  • FPS gripe
  • I have to imagine that this is an aim-assistance scenario. CS does not have aim-assist in order to prevent abuse by M&K players. Most other games have toggles in the settings for contrller use.

    You could always try one of the more precise deck aiming schemes like flick-stick+gyro.

  • What is your go-to Linux distro and why?
  • I've always felt that Arch has the least amount of personal compromises. For "bleeding edge," it's also generally stable and has a wealth of community support and documentation.

  • SGPC K49 Build Complete
  • Not as tight as I expected, actually. You could fit another 4-5cm in GPU length with no real issues, and I crammed 2 2.5in SSDs in there, even though the manufacturer only claims 1 can fit.

  • SGPC K49 Build Complete
  • Thanks! The slots seem to be pretty decent for cooling. I'm seeing similar temps to my previous much larger case. They do include an acrylic side panel as well, not sure how that performs.

  • SGPC K49 Build Complete

    Honestly not the easiest build, the EVGA PSU had some issues under load and had to be replaced, and the reseller from AliExpress who painted the case didn't do a phenomenal job. However, it's not easy finding a sub 7L case with front IO so I'm happy with the final product.

    Do folks make their own cables to fit inside cramped cases?
  • I just got done making sleeved cables for a fightstick, so I'm not afraid of the tedium. Just concerned about burning my build up.

  • Do folks make their own cables to fit inside cramped cases?
  • Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely try to check them out. I'm not averse to cable sleeving but it seems a bit riskier for PSUs.

  • Do folks make their own cables to fit inside cramped cases?
  • How concerned do I need to be about pinout if I go through a supplier like modDIY? My understanding is that it's not recommended to mix and match PSU cables from multiple manufacturers.

  • Do folks make their own cables to fit inside cramped cases?
  • Wow, I've heard of other cable issues, but not custom cable fires. Sounds like something like measuring for ModDIY-created cables might be the best route. I've made cables before but never tried PSU sleeving.

  • Welcome to SFF PC
  • Fantastic! Thanks so much, it's a great resource.

  • Do folks make their own cables to fit inside cramped cases?

    Is it worth the effort to make custom cables, or should I just work on better cable management?

    Lightweight video editing software
  • Kdenlive is totally serviceable for basic meme making. I've used it a few times for quick professional work. Just a little tricky to find documentation for specific stuff.

  • Usernames are Evolving - Revolt
  • Glad to hear that it's planned. It's the biggest hurdle to transitioning friends and family over.

  • Welcome to SFF PC
  • It's a component/case directory

    Not quite sure who maintains it, but I've found it to be incredibly helpful with recent upgrades.

  • Usernames are Evolving - Revolt
  • Have you been able to get screensharing with audio to work on Element? I haven't been able to determine if it's in Element Desktop or not. My understanding is that it has worked on some browsers, but I'm not sure about the electron app.

  • Welcome to SFF PC
  • This is so exciting that someone created this community. Hope we can still utilize the great resources like the google spreadsheet.

  • What are YOU self-hosting?
  • I was thinking more along the lines of simply thowing up a port to SSH into. No Fail2Ban and no keys, just a password.

    I would just containerize and reverse proxy, but I understand the hesitation, wireguard would be preferable.

  • How do you guys have your music streaming setup?
  • Any reason you prefer to wireguard into Navidrome instead of reverse proxying to a domain?

  • What are YOU self-hosting?
  • You'd hope, but I have a few friends who simply port-expose their media servers.

    I guess it could be worse if they had ssh exposed.
