  1. Your homelab, wrapped

    30 services, 11 minutes of downtime, $1,400 in avoided fees, zero breaches. The year-end report your little server deserves.

  2. What your house does at 3AM

    Your TV, speaker, and doorbell all report home overnight — just not to YOUR home. AdGuard Home blocks the calls, Frigate keeps the footage, Home Assistant runs it all locally.

  3. I've had to manually keep devices charged for years just to keep their batteries from discharging too far while I'm not actively using them.

    Just made an automation that charges devices every 3 days when I'm home, based on the presence of my phone on the network (so they don't charge when I'm away, which wouldn't be safe).

    This will be so useful!

  12. The group chat just learned why we self-host

    Account flagged by a classifier, 8 years of photos gone, no appeal path. It happens daily. A server in your closet has no ban button — that's the entire argument, in one chat.

  13. Ok. To do Uncloud on my server I need to run a local registry (unregistry can work as well, but registry is not hard). Then move my services (web, dns, prometheus, s3) over.
    Next backup local gits and decide if I need local forgejo (also has registry....)
    Then reinstall with Fedora and reapply Uncloud

  14. @innocentzero As I understand it, a #Homelab is the entire IT setup, like compute, storage, networking, containers, databases, etc, whether on multiple physical "homeservers" and devices or just one.

    #Homeserver is just a single server, like pc, rpie, etc that you run from home. #Selfhosting

  23. That’s frightening because #Garage will switch into a read-only mode in that case and brake #GlitchySocial #Mastodon instance.

    So I need to replace my Asus PM42 with something with SATA and NVMe support. Also, something cheap. Also, something that would handle the same RAM Asus box uses currently.
