Nerd out with self-hosted services and media on your spare computer!
accidentally killed the network stack on my raspberry pi so now i have to run a VM with ubuntu to mount the ext4 rootfs sd card and removed a single line from a text file to get it working again 😤
Give your Pi SSD for $20-$30?!?

I found what appears to be the Bible of self-hosting: a complete zero to one guide on getting started from spinning up your own router to hosting your own services that replace popular cloud products like Google Photos, office suites, etc.

He seems to have a company futo.org dedicated to this movement and I'm super happy to see these kind of resources out there!!

I’m 3 for 3 with needing RMAs for my Unifi router. Feels like I need to have a fully standing backup system ready to swap. Kinda absurd.
if anyone is using the Everything Presence One/Lite sensors, there's a new visual zone configurator that can be deployed as a docker container or a home assistant add-on.
i just PR'd a critical fix that prevents the whole thing from working when the entity ID does not end in a specific string.

Only bad part of being on holiday is being away from the lab ☹️
the journey starts now (yesterday)
let's start with LibreChat and Ollama

Look mah', no Comcast -- first holiday season with fiber!
Going to be traveling to see family, but finally able to stream high-def content from my homelab to anywhere in the world via WireGuard on OPNsense.
Coming from 8Mbps, still feel like a kid in a candy shop 😅

Hi all, is this the right place to talk about NAS server setup for home?
Finally carved out some time to sort out my home audio system. I have:
Five zones powered off cheap class t amps, each with an old airport Express as the source input. Airplay2 compatible for Spotify, YouTube from mobile.
A raspberry pi runs a couple of background utilities:
- Owntone to serve radio streams to the AirPlay speakers. Preferred this method so radio wasn’t tied to a mobile device.
- Icecast2/Darkice to stream analog audio sources (vinyl) to local network so it can be picked up by Owntone (not a hifi solution for vinyl but works for me)
- Owntone is currently controlled via API on our mobiles, but future plan is to put a few physical buttons around to switch between streams.

Alright, I've decided
I want to replace the Pi on my desk with the new Mac Mini
I love having a bunch of small apps or services being run from my desk and it just feels like the next level of power.
For $600, is there something else you might recommend that has similar specs? Particularly the silicon and how it affects performance

what's your data usage this month? my ISP probably hates me
Opinions Wanted: Trying to build a home server that can run multiple eth/OP nodes, sell AI compute to Akash Network, be a personal drive, and possibly run a plex server. Linux is a must.
Is the first step to choose a rack? If so, does this one limit me in terms of cooling or other attributes for the use cases above?

The dream come true: solar powered, local web hosting
Local first, Farcaster + IPFS website that shows Farcaster hubs.
A map of hubs around the world, updated hourly.
https://fc1.furl.pro
This is how it works:
- Everything runs on my home server
- A script runs every hour and generates the map using fc-nmap. It adds the generated html page to my ipfs server and pins it. It uses fario-userdata to update @fc1's USER_DATA_TYPE_URL to ipfs://CID.
- This makes the page is accessible using furl.pro.

imagine if all homelab hardware looked like this https://youtu.be/7RRz_sot_uA?si=RoMdwerK-NPpfEU4
Not necessarily homelab specific but more so smart home: TIL smart vents for central AC homes !!!
