Yep. Keeping up to date is a never ending battle. I try to do it often so they don’t pile up and break a ton of shit all at once. If you’re into gitops, I’m a big fan of using renovate to help automate things.

For sure. Simplifies querying the data too, since you won’t need to deal with multiple data sources in grafana.

TIL Promtail is going EOL. I’ve been using it forever. Guess I’m gonna have to figure out how to migrate to alloy too if that’s meant to be its successor. At home and at work lol.

You should be able to just add a scrape config to your existing deployment of prometheus

Yep, actual can do this sort of forecasting with schedules

I think this probably still won’t do what you want, but actual-helpers has a script that will track the balance of an investment account. It won’t track shares or funds separately or anything, but it could maybe be enough if your goal is just net worth tracking?

To be fair, if you’re a W-2 employee, they already have your money from withholding. So it’s not like you’re taking dollars from the irs by not filing your return, it just means you don’t get your rebate.

Another vote for actual. It’s my first budgeting app so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but it was super simple to set up (as far as self hosted apps go), I really like the web ui, and simplefin works to sync with all of my banks/accounts. My only gripe with it so far is that it could probably use a better mobile experience.

This doesn’t exactly answer your question, but I use the binhex qbittorrent-vpn image for this. It might work for you too unless you were wanting to be able to reuse the same wireguard container for something else?

Yes. Can’t wait to get rid of Google home.

At home vs. for work are very different. At home, I self host as much as I can. At work, I use as many managed services as I can. Especially databases.

I have really been wanting to try it out. Is there any good off the shelf hardware that you can use as “smart speakers” for it yet?

The idea of shipping something like that just makes me not want to do anything at all lol. It’s like a chicken and egg problem. Maybe if I could find someone local to buy it, then I would do the new build. But then I’d have no nas for that in between time. Hmmmm.

I’m in the process of divorcing my one giant server into separate nas and compute-only machines, I was going to leave the big one as the nas and maybe swap out its guts for something more power efficient than the dual socket beast since it will only need to handle storage now, but it might be easier to sell as a whole and do an all new itx build 🤔

My wallet is gonna hate me.

I really like that little case. I have a fractal xl r2 right now and it’s a monster.

I’ve been considering moving to this build in particular for lower power usage and heat output, but they have some other dual socket builds if you want more cpu power.

Some good ideas on this site if you are interested in building your own https://forums.serverbuilds.net/t/guide-nas-killer-6-0-ddr4-is-finally-cheap/13956

Damn. I’d have tried a chargeback, especially if their site is incorrect or misleading (idk how recently this was). It’s damn near impossible to see who actually has the best prices because you can’t tell what anything really costs until they tack on all the horse shit fees after returning the car.

Can confirm, got fucked by Hertz last time I rented a car. Who’s your go to?

You’re likely not going to find a premade dashboard that does exactly what you want, but grafana is extremely powerful if you’re willing to put in the time to learn it. There are ways to visualize things across hosts without having to configure things separately for every host. If you’re using the same mechanism to scrape metrics from each (sounds like you’re using prometheus + node exporter?), this could be as simple as adding a by (node) (or whatever the label name is if it’s not node) grouping to the query on each panel.
