At the same time, I watched Reddit's self-hosted community – whose members are well-known for writing off projects at the first sight of emojis – blindly dive headfirst into Hypermind, a new peer-to-peer app for discovering and counting other users also deploying the app (yes, you read that correctly).
I had the same reaction.
The High-Availability Solution to a Problem That Doesn't Exist.
"You need a service that:
Enter Hypermind."
They sure have a sense of humor though :)
The home assistant integration does it for me.
Do you want your living room lights to turn red when the swarm grows? Of course you do.
Sure. I mean, it apparently does exactly what they describe. Maybe someone will fork it into something useful. Seems to me it could be a basis for something to be built on. Damn site better than anything I've managed to code, so I can't knock it too much. LOL
Not going to lie, it's kinda hilarious when this stuff happens.
I honestly think it's hilarious. I'm conflicted to announce that i'm kind of not proud but kind of to be a node :)
Like it says in the README: "Why did you make this? The homelab must grow. ¯(ツ)/¯"
5 costs of self-hosting by Ty Sherback is good but I had the opposite experience re: electricity costs... it's been much cheaper than cloud hosting for me
My server and associated peripherals run me $30+/- monthly. I recently did some adjustments with the help of tlp and a few other apps to see if I could slim that down a few dollars. I'm waiting until the end of the month to do some comparisons. All in all tho, $30 is probably well below what most people would spend on any other hobby.
The list is getting bigger and bigger. That is a good thing. But it now gets harder and harder to explore. More details on the list would help a lot.
I just wanted to make a joke that it is enough to put reitti one time into the update section. Then I saw that you also wrote a highlight piece about it ☺️
Thank you very much for that. And also thank you in general for the effort you put in the newsletter. I eagerly waiting every month for it.
I eagerly waiting every month for it.
Same here, I already know it's coming every friday afternoon, but I'm still happy when it pops up in my RSS reader. That's how I know the work day is over.
Oh and it's weekly btw :)
God damit, yes it is weekly. I have a 6y old daughter, time has no meaning to me anymore :D
