Doing some house keeping today, and moving my mail service again... this time however I am taking the time to move my archives offline. This way moving mail providers will not have to be as hard in the future. Major call out to @thunderbird for making this so easy

So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.

Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.

TIL: Google Gemini is significantly better at reading the kinds of colourful graphs you see on server monitoring dashboards than are any of the other leading #AI models from #OpenAI and #Meta. Why yes, I do, in fact, resent that I had to learn this. Because #OpenSource tools don't make data visualizations #accessible to #screenreaders (even on the terminal) sometimes the things I #selfhost to get rid of big tech just mean I have to use big tech anyway to fix them when they explode. But never the less, Google is the only AI that doesn't tell me about the menus and other Windows I captured by mistake in my screenshot, doesn't make unhelpful recommendations, and actually provides the data without cluttering it up with Emoji. But I did appreciate metta telling me "This graph shows CPU use on the X axis, RAM use on the Y axis, network use on the Z axis, and time on the fake axis." I mean, open source UI is famously terrible...but I don't think it's that terrible...yet! Shhh, don't give the data visualization people any ideas!

I can't wait to use this, and I definitely will use it.

But, have you or @mozilla ever thought about turning Sync into an open protocol so people can #selfhost it? Just a thought! Would be cool...
