  • same

  • ooo la-la?

  • Yay for Halt & Catch Fire.

  • I am so much more down for the memes about fictionalised genius of famous people, where we end up learning a little something

    as opposed to the fictional CEO of sex, especially when its in the vein of some stupid FPS from 2012

    yay

  • "Next you're gonna tell me he's a quint"

  • enjoy! this is what actually introduced me to rclone and webdav in general, as crazy as that sounds!

    the ripples of evolution from this new skillset being introduced to the homelab are still being felt

  • reading these replies hurts my soul so deeply that i haven't gotten into solar yet.

    i desperately want to, but don't own a house! I've seen some regular trailers with panels mounted on; how viable is that? is it easy to tie in 'temporary' solar? could i just bypass the house's electrical completely?

    in the southeast US, what would one expect to need for a small house?

    it must be tough for things like dryers and ovens.

    beyond the savings and independence, how susceptible to transient voltage events are solar setups? will i still need to be scared every time i hear thunder off in the far distance?

    apologies for the barrage of questions from a rando stranger!

  • here's what i've spun up so far that ive gotten the kids using

    • xmpp for chats,
    • emby/jellyfin
    • luanti
    • mealie
    • calendars
    • webdav for retroarch cloud
    • home assistant/mopidy/navidrome for music (all they see is home assistant).

    probs more but can't think right now

  • habitica was my answer to one of the kids wanting a tracking app (they were leaning towards a sobriety themed one)

    and wowzers it has really changed my life (a truly decent amount)

  • i love luanti so muchhhhhhhhhh and was so happy to be able to port my minecraft bedrock world over (after a few downgrades and shit)

    it is awesome!

  • i really like my ntfy dot sh server at the house!

    i got scared with the huge AI commit for postgres and i locked my install at the version just before, but it appears to still be doing okay

  • sim copter was awesome

  • like, right the fuck now

  • but please do do this to me

  • i looked at volumino, lyrion and some others. didn't feel like i was really digging further into open source

    i have a similar setup cobbled together with navidrome, mopidy (with subidy, MPD and other extensions) and snapcast running right along side it, allowing me to play two audio streams at once. (one is audio, other is announcement pipeline)

    mopidy has a decent amount of dev action. navidrome even more so.

    snapcast can sling anything across the network.

    tied into home assistant for control and automations

  • Ive tried ersatz and a couple of other things it was cool

    if you're needing this channel on multiple devices at once (synced-ish) then ersatz is the way to go.. but it uses some hardware/horsepower and it bugged me seeing the metrics spin up on that server for me to wanna have some background noise

    instead, i found out kodi can do smart playlists!

    I have jellyfin/emby feeding several kodi installs, and made various playlists based around various rules (can be genre, folder, tags, or TV show titles etc), with one of the rules being playcount for episodes/movies being under a certain number.

    added a script for starting each playlist to buttons in home assistant, and bam, poor mans channels.

    when an episode gets finished, the playcount goes up, keeping us from seeing the same episodes.

    i know we're getting crazy here but i even created a variable, so when the house knows i put it in "TV mode" like that, it maps my channel up and down buttons to the skip foward, skip previous buttons, making it feel more like channel surfing. which is a little much, but puts a smile on my face.

    in the home assistant script, you could add a "skip 3 minutes" when "changing channels" so it feels like real TV, no need to see the first few minutes of speed! Where is Sandra Bullock!?
