I have one of these on my backup Server. But about 2 out of 5 times the HDMI signal is not detected (after the Backup Server was running for a couple days) and I need to restart the Backupserver to get it working. restarting the JetKVM does not work. In comparison I had none of these issues with a NanoKVM. I don’t know if it is a problem of the JetKVM or the Backup machine.

You could use a NanoKVM together with tailscale: https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/kvm/NanoKVM/network/tailscale.html

These cost around 60€ (don’t know the dollar price) on Aliexpress (I remember them being a lot cheaper in the past…).

You do not need to use tailscale on the NanoKVM. You could use whatever VPN tooling your router supports to connect to your network and then to the NanoKVM.

P.S. There was fuzz in the past about them including a small microphone that was not documented. Make of that what you want.

Does anyone have some more information about the technical part? What kind of filesystem support does it use (mdadm+ext4, BTRFS, ZFS, etc.)? Who maintains updates for the Apps? Are they manually maintained by them or do they just reuse what is available on e.g. dockerhub? How does their integrated backup solution work (filesystem or database based, rotation, encryption, etc.).

Their tiemline on their webpage is pretty outdated. But on github you can see that they are actively maintaining it.

Anyone got some real life experience with it?

Do you compartmentalize the disks again, or do you just make different folders?

Yes, when you are not using BTRFS. Due to OMV using ext4 as default you basically create your Raid and then folders/networkshares on top of it.

ZFS on the other hand allows you to create datasets which are separate ZFS filesystem object that can have its own settings (quota, reservations, permissions, etc.). The “same” goes for BTRFS which supports BTRFS subvolumes.

I do not know how well OMV supports BTRFS and how well it is integrated in the overall workflow. Therefor I cannot give a recommendation if it is feasible to use BTRFS on OMV.

Just checked my UPS. It sits at 105W for:

• HP Mini PC
• Synology 4 Bay NAS
• DrayTek Router
• Mikrotik 16 Port Switch
• PoE Switch
• 3 AP’s
• 1 Raspberry Pi 3B
• 2 NanoKVM

I am also using Beszel after using checkmk. For me checkmk was way too complicated (but is also way more powerfull) to setup and maintain propperly. So I switcheed to beszel because it is much easier and good enough for my use case which is:

• Is the thing running at all?
• Disk full?
• CPU, network, etc. on full throttle for some strange reason?
• send me a mail if somethings wrong

Besides that I don’t need anything. The only thing missing is SNMP support to check switches, routers and AP’s.

To not offend anyone: please don’t get me wrong.

It is not the goal of the series to give a historical correct impression. But to create a nice and engaging story. Which is totally fine. But historical accuracy is not part of it.

I watched the first episode and have to say: it is not even close to give a proper impression of the medieval (especially early medieval) ages in europe.

• clothing completely wrong
• How villages and cities look like
• How trade is organized
• local law enforcement is completely missing
• how a village and social life was organized and the embedding into the local administration is missing

It is a nice show to watch. But a "… pretty good depiction of the market… "? Definetly no.

I do 13th century living history for museums. The show has more in common with a Hollywood movie then anything with history.

During the medieval period there was no currency used throughout the whole of Germany. Most used the Silver Penny (Pfennig) but there were different types with a different value (amount of silver in them) that also changed over time (some were more stable, some changed every year). People were obligated to exchange old coins for the new ones and part of the exchange was held back by the people in charge (the so called Schlagschatz). Also people coming from a different location were obligated to exchange their coins or silver bars to the local currency at the time. The exchange rates were quite different.

It was a complete mess. But somehow it worked.

I do cooking on living history events for dozens of people. And creating the shopping list for them (where a recipe is based on another recipe) is always a painpoint. This sounds versy interesting (never heard of it).

I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

My cabinet currently is 9HE high and it can fit 2 mini-pc’s easily and all the rest. Just the NAS does not fit into it. For that I would need at least 12HE.

Thanks sharing your experience! Does it also support the 2-way Audio of these cameras?

Digitus has a lot to offer for 10" Racks. I use a lot of their Basic stuff for my Racks. AS a Server I am a fan of Mini-PC’s. They are (imho) good enough for SOHO users. For storage an off the shelf NAS is small enough to fit inside the Rack. I did not find a good option yet for a TrueNAS solution (maybe one of the NAS solutions where you flash your own operating system?).

From my 10" homelab:

• Enclosing: Digitus 10" 9HE Wandgehäuse. But today I would get the 12HE version of it (my Homelab expanded beyond the available space)
• Patchfield: Digitus 10" 12 Port LSA Patchpanel Weiß. There are also keystone version if you prefer them. I did go for this because it is cheaper and I only need RJ45.
• Power connector: DIGITUS 10 Zoll Steckdosenleiste. it has 4 sockjets and a switch. I am using 2 of them.
• Shelfs for Servers, etc.: Digitus 10" Fachboden. I use them to keep my Mini-PC’s and router in the Rack.
• Router: Draytek Vigor2927 it just fits on a shelf and all Ports are accessible. It is connected to a Fibre-Modem, so it just being a router is good enough for me.
• Switch: ALLNET Switch smart managed 16 Port Gigabit. Unfortunately I could not find an option including PoE (that is reasonably priced…) so I went for this managed Switch and an extra PoE Switch.
• PoE Switch: YuanLey 11 Port Gigabit PoE Switch, 8 PoE+ Port 1000 Mbit/s, 2 Gigabit Uplink, 1 SFP Port, 120W 802.3af/at. It is not directly obvious from the product page. But the 2 included Rackmount ears work for a 10" Rack.
• Mini-PC as Server: HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Desktop-Mini-PC . You can get these on the used market for cheap. Look if you can find one with an i5-8500T (KabyLake architecture). These chips have very good Transcoding qualities (Quicksync)
• NAS: I use a Synology DS-918+. It fits on a shelf isnide the Rack. but due to Space limitations (9HE instead of 12HE) it is now stacked on top of my Rack.

I don’t know where you are located. So maybe you need to check if these are available to you.

Didn’t know this existed. Gives the flexibility to choose between different Hardware Vendors.

But do you have any experience on how easy it is to flash this to the Hardware and how good it works?

Improving support for older tech and keeping them in use is always appreciated. Thanks to Valve for contributing time and money to this effort.

Even though they do it for their own sake, which is keep selling games to people with older hardware. The intention may not be that of a saint, but still: Better support for older hardware.

What is missing from my point of view is an indication of which part of your finger is currently not propperly scanned. Remember on Android and iOS you can a visual indiciation on the fingerprint picture about which part you should scan next to get full coverage of your fingerprint. I assume this is not possible under linux because the information is not exposed by the fingerprint sensors to the system.

Sounds interesting to use together with a Note taking application.
