yubal to grab stuff from yt, then some scripts smashing Claude and beets together for more intelligent automation, then navidrome for serving. Occasionally I’ll use slskd for more obscure stuff. Tempus is my current Android player of choice.

Hugo is really easy to automate too. Just toss it on a github/codeberg repo and use one of the community’s publish pipelines.

That really tells me very little

I love that the icon for the fediverse is a collection of assholes.

Use pinchflat and you only need YouTube to find new content.

Totally, though I use towonel on an OVH VPS. Couldn’t be happier.

• Mikrotik router
• TP-Link PoE 24 port switch
• 3x HP ProDesk 600 G2 - 32GB RAM 1TB SSD
• 1x HP EliteDeak 800 G5 - 32GB 1TB SSD
• 1x Raspberry Pi 8GB - 1TB SSD
• Synology 220+ NAS -14TB RAID1
• Cyberpower UPS

3 ProDesks are kubernetes control plane nodes and the others are all workers. There are probably 250+ pods running on there. Sadly the UPS only provides about 20 minutes of power, but it keeps internet, WiFi, and cameras up too so its not too bad.

I really want to rebuild the NAS and build a beefy worker with a GPU but component pricea are just absurd.

I have a lot of different coffee setups and I rotate through them. A pot of drip first thing in the morning, followed by a latte is my standard. Sometimes I’ll do a pot of French press or a Turkish in the afternoon. If I just want one cup I’ll either do aeropress or an Americano if the espresso machine is still hot. When the power is out I’ll reach for my stovetop percolator. I almost never do pour over any more though. Not sure why.

I always need more coffee. Always.

I have that exact machine. Toss it on a smart switch so you can set a power-on timer and its a game changer. Also, just drink a whole pot of drip coffee while you wait for it to heat. That’s what I do…

This has always been an issue. There is a specific IP address range you can exclude on your VPN though.I think its 192.168.49.0/24.

People still use Pinterest??

I usually set my wallpaper once right after install then never change it. I only see it for a few seconds right after boot anyways. If you see your wallpaper then you aren’t really doing anything.

Its a secure way to route the traffic from a public endpoint to your internal services without exposing your home IP address. You could do something similar with wireguard. I didn’t indicate you couldn’t.

Yeah, that’s a future step. I just haven’t finished migrating everything.

You mean putting your home servers on a VPN with your client devices? That wouldn’t really allow for exposing public services.

You could use that… Having used it I would not recommend it though. I used to use it for contracting. It was fun learning double entry accounting but there are much better platforms and approaches for personal finance and budgeting these days.

That’s what I did. I just don’t have the “fancy” RCS features any more. I’m much more interested in less google than more features. I also push everyone towards Signal when I have the opportunity.

Wake words are a pain on android but everything else is very doable. I use my local assistant everyday.

It was totally off in tone and characters, but as Hollywood adaptations go it was pretty OK. On the other hand it was a fun action comedy with a SciFi veneer.

I’ve used so many over the years. Sublime was really cool for a bit. Notepad++ and UltraEdit look like ass but they were both daily drivers for a long time. These days I bounce between codium and vim throughout the day. I kinda hate codium/vscode but I use it for the same reason I’ve used vim for so long: it’s functional and available everywhere.

I should really give one of the newer vim clones a closer look one of these days.
