FauxPilot: Self-hosted GitHub Copilot
I’ve been trialing GitHub Copilot for a couple of weeks now. I can say that it’s well worth it especially when writing code from a blank slate. It outputs code blocks that helps my brain process more quickly. Its output rarely work as is, but it only needs minimal tweaking. It’s another subscription though, and…

Switching from cPanel to Cyber Panel
Back in the day when I was regularly doing freelance website projects, I offer hosting it too. It was a good idea to setup my own and I did. cPanel fits the bill. It has a fixed monthly subscription, easy to use, and I can upgrade my server as I grow. After a couple of…

Network UPS Tools
My UPS have a serial port to report operating data. I read in the manual that it uses Upsilon 2000 software to get data. It uses Megatec Protocol which is supported by Network UPS Tool’s blazer_ser driver. I learned this by running nut-scanner –eaton_serial /dev/ttyUSB0 which tries different protocols to the serial connection. Plug-in USB…

Wyze Cam Experiments
For the past couple of days I’ve been experimenting with Wyze Cam v2 and Xiaomi Xiaofang 1s. It’s an identical product that has Ingenic T20 as SoC. It’s a camera we used 3-4 years ago but stopped using because of general unreliability (microSD regularly burning out, occasional disconnection). I really did not have any goal…

Xpenology NVR – DVA3219 + GTX 1060 Works
I continued with my Xpenology Experiments when I remember that there was an NVR that’s using an older version of Nvidia GPU: DVA3219. It’s officially paired with GTX 1050Ti which is the same generation of the GPU I have in hand. I checked if any of the bootloaders have support with DVA3219 platform, arpl-i18n does…

Xpenology NVR Experiments
This all started when I was looking if there’s a new way to “trick” DSM’s Surveillance Station to increase camera limit. I stumbled a post to just use an DVA1622 (NVR-specific NAS) and I’ll automatically get 8 licenses without resorting to use an old Surveillance Station apk. When I checked Xpenology forum, I saw there’s…

Installing an on-line UPS and a homelab clean-up
This is the current state of my homelab. Whenever I go at my server room and attempt to arrange things, I get paralyzed how. Primary blocking reason is how I should handle supplying power. Currently I have 2 separate line-interactive UPS. One for critical internet-related devices, the other for optional servers. My original plan was…

Getting own ASN and IP
I’ve been curious on getting my own ASN and IP address. The process is to register and buy in your region’s internet registry. In my case, it’s APNIC. APNIC is more strict than other registries in terms of registration and fees. At the very minimum, I need 500 AUD registration fee and 1180 annual fee…

mergerfs and SnapRAID
Another setup to try. I have a bunch of various size disk that I do not know what’s the best setup for. mergerfs combines different disk with different filesystem and show it as a single mount. Files are still flat. Disks can still be mounted individually. SnapRAID can be used to setup a parity drive…
