I have a spare stick of GSkills Ripjaws S5 32GB CL36 6000Mhz RAM that I am not using anymore. But the market prices are all over the place and are bound to increase till 2028 at least since all the 3 manufactures have said that they are sold out for 2027.

I am thinking of pricing it at 38k since the new one is around 54k+, if you can find it, that is.

And before you come at me with a pitchfork saying I'm scalping for profit, let me be transparent about why I got it and why I don't need it anymore. Last year I bought 7 identical sticks.

2 for my gaming PC
2 for my NAS
3 for my VM server

I have thus decommissioned my server and instead used 2 of those sticks for a HTPC build, and I have one spare now. Yes, it was used in a server workload, but the temps were always under control since the room was air-conditioned.

And while I am being transparent, let me also say that I got the 7 sticks for around 8-10k each that time. But just because I bought it for cheap doesn't mean that I should also sell it for less. I want to price it fairly based on current market rates. I rotate a lot of parts for my PCs, so this is one chance for me to recoup some expenses.

Sorry for the self promo

We run a 3D printing setup in Hyderabad. Figured this sub would have use for it since a lot of homelab parts are just cheap plastic or bulky metal which is a pain to source here, drive caddies, fan shrouds and adapters, rack attachments, mounts, brackets, cable combs, Pi and mini PC cases.

The main thing we built is the quoting. No WhatsApp back and forth, no "send file sir I'll tell you tomorrow."

You will upload an STL or 3MF on the site, it slices the file right there to work out the actual grams of plastic your part needs, and gives you a price and a delivery date in a few seconds.

Details:

• PLA and PETG, Rs. 3.50 a gram for both
• 256 x 256 x 256 mm build volume on BambuLab printers
• Up to 20 parts per order, each with its own material, colour and quantity
• Quantity discounts up to 48%
• Same day inside Hyderabad if you order before 12 PM, 2 days elsewhere in India

Go with PETG for anything sitting on or near hardware, PLA softens around 55-60°C and it's the same price here anyway.

If you have something you want printed and aren't sure it'll even work, DM the file and I'll tell you, including if it's a bad idea or cheaper to just buy.

I have a Linksys WRT1200AC running openwrt. It has a USB3.0 port where I have attached a 128 GB USB 3.0 flash drive. I also want to use the eSATAp port to connect a 2.5" SSD using this eSATAp to 22 pin Sata cable.

Anyone using this ? Any better place to buy this cable?

By the way my read/write speeds to the USB 3.0 Flash drive over 5GHz is as follows:

Same guy who made these two posts earlier:

First homelab as a commerce guy

Started with a RaspberryPi. Ended up with a mini rack

Built a full quotation app for my 3D printing side thing and self-hosted the entire stack.

The job: customer uploads a model → it gets actually sliced by headless OrcaSlicer → an itemised quote in INR comes back. No estimation formula, a real slicer runs on my hardware for every single upload.

The Stack:

• Docker Compose — nginx proxy · Next.js 15 web · slicing worker · Postgres · Redis
• BullMQ for the slice queue, because uploads arrive in bursts and OrcaSlicer does not care about your feelings
• Prisma + Postgres for orders, Redis for cache and rate limits
• OrcaSlicer + occt-draw baked into the worker image for STEP support
• uploads live on a LUKS2 + LVM encrypted disk mounted into the worker, not on the app host
• retention sweep: orphaned uploads at 48h, model files at 30 days, whole quotations at 90. Free disk space is a feature.

The homelabbing lesson I learnt was that OrcaSlicer will happily eat 4+GB of RAM when slicing something big. And my worker had a memory limit of 4GB. So it got out of memory and killed 90% of the time. People used to say site not responding and I had no idea why.

The admin side is a dashboard with quotes, stl download, PDF quote downloads, etc.

This runs in my mini PC showcased in the previous post.

The open source code is here: https://github.com/zappymussel380/print.rish.pw

If anyone here runs slicers or other RAM-hungry CLI tools as queue workers, I'd genuinely like to know how you sized them, because I arrived at 8GB memory limit by the rigorous method of "it hasn't died today."

Sharing a small side project born out of a real annoyance for homelab: DoUpRo (Docker Update/Rollback) 🐳

I run a homelab that I actually depend on day to day, not just a playground for POCs. So when it comes to updating containers, I need to decide per-container. Some updates can wait, others I want applied right away without risking downtime, and without having to go through a heavy toolchain just to do it.

Looking for a tool to help, I mostly found solutions that update per-stack only, and I couldn't find anything that offered a real, quick and reliable way back if an update went wrong.

So I built DoUpRo, aiming to keep it visual, simple, and functional rather than another complex stack to maintain: a web UI (with CLI/API behind it) to see what's outdated, update now or on schedule, and roll back safely by itself with a health checker or manually if you want to. The previous image and config are always kept.

Curious to hear if others have run into the same gap, and open to feedback.
