Had a great conversation w/ @CSMikeCardona today. Here's someone who's on the same frequency as me.

Smart
Humble
Engaging

Plus he's got some interesting things coming up that I'm looking forward to. Following him would not be a bad idea!

The (hopefully) proper controller card has arrived for the #DIY #NAS. This one put me back around CAD$75 but it came with the 6 GB SATA cables and should be able to handle all six of the hard drives.

Not so wise, Wyze!

I'm a big fan of @WyzeCam and their other products but this is unacceptable.

I've been adding notes to document my workflows for a very long time but this takes it to a completely new level.

Really looking forward to this new feature!

Congratulations, @andrasbacsai!

While this is a relatively new piece of technology in my arsenal (I just discovered it a couple of days ago), I believe it can fill a number of gaps for me.

Definitely worth your time to look at it!

#NoCode #buildinpublic #automation #startup

My "cost-effective" SATA controller for my #DIY #NAS arrived today. Went to the website I purchased it from to check some information only to discover that it is only for Windows.

Glad they accept returns no questions asked!

#storage #buildinpublic

@andrasbacsai No problem. I've just taken a really quick cursory look at it and it has impressed me so far. Definitely worth my time to dig deeper and consider it for my tech stack.

#NoCode #buildinpublic #automation #startup

Just stumbled on Coolify by @andrasbacsai. An #OpenSource alternative to Heroku or Netlify that can be self-hosted.

Adding this to the list of projects to spend some time with and get to know.

@jEvisHome I'm going to be building a @TrueNAS server. It is the evolution of #FreeNAS and I've always wanted to play with #ZFS.

#NAS #buildinpublic #DIY #storage

This is the beginning of the new #NAS that I'm building. By the time I'm done, this will store 20 TB of files!

It was originally a workstation I built in 2008. I made a few upgrades over the years such as more RAM & SSD.

Great NAS start point!

Another busy weekend! To do:

- catching up on work with @opsmateco
- starting new @TrueNAS #NAS build from found parts
- figure out why my new computer keeps crashing
- 10,000 steps
- be in denial that it snowed last night

#NoCode #buildinpublic #automation #startup

Realized I've put on a bunch of weight (double-digit kg 😨) since #COVID hit. Time to fix that!

Started simple this week by walking enough to hit the 10,000 step mark daily. But with everything I need to do, I had to create this.

#exercise #workout #treadmill #buildinpublic

I came up with this idea when I was getting annoyed that a client of mine kept asking for changes that were not design-based but, rather, configuration-based.

Built him a way to change the configuration and leave me alone!

What are your goals for this upcoming week?

My plan is to sign up for as many @n8n_io supported services as possible so that I can better support these services in n8n.

Also want to start building my n8n automation training platform!

For those of you looking for @gmail outgoing SMTP settings, here you go:

Hostname: smtp.gmail.com
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires TLS: Yes (if available)
Requires Authentication: Yes
Port for SSL: 465
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587

#NoCode #buildinpublic #automation #startup

Now, what's n8n up to? Probably no good but only one way to know for sure!

@n8n_io & @ipfs (and a lot of other tools) recommend @nodejs v16 to run properly.

If you're not sure how to install it on your @debian based system (e.g. @ubuntu, @Raspberry_Pi), here's a quick script to do it for you:

Looking at building a new #NAS as I'm running out of storage.

Started looking at aggregating the unused storage space I have running on all my home systems.

New research on distributes file systems:
- @IPFS
- @Gluster
- @MooseFS

@mcmaxter @YouTube @n8n_io One of the things that I find we do as automators is expect end-users to modify our automations.

Sometimes, that is too much.

So I thought using automation to edit automations was a good idea!
