Much cleaner and more attractive and cohesive than recent BMW and Mercedes designs, in my opinion.

Whompy wheels!

I like this idea, but I love my headband night light. In the winter it is almost always dark when I’m not at work, and I use it over a warm hat for most things I need done outside.

Fresh home made bread is so delicious. Even with just butter its irresistible to me.

I wish I had time to bake lately.

96 issues in the last 90 days.

There’s two nines right there! Just not the ones you need.

Yes, I self host the English Wikipedia dump, as well as a few cooking sites and topic specific stack exchange dumps available in zim format.

My goal is:

  • reduce dependence on public internet. In the event of an outage or restriction I’d like some books and other content I can use to entertain myself
  • locally preserve a snapshot of information before it is possibly diluted by LLM edits

I like a black beans and garbanzo beans. Black beans in a salad and garbanzos in curry, hummus, or falafel.

I enjoy black eyed peas cooked with a ham hock, but that’s not for everyone. I like them extra mushy, with hot sauce and spinach added right at the end :)

I also run this way. NFS4 mount for the media Dir. Cache Dir on the local SSD. No problems streaming 2-3 devices. NAS is happy to serve other files at the same time.

Docker host is nothing special, old Mac mini running Ubuntu.

Oh boy…I also have a perfectly working bathroom fan motor. In storage for around 15 years now, and rescued from my parent’s renovation. Good to know it may indeed be useful :)

I had a flame sensor go out last year. The tech could get it going by just cleaning the sensor, but did come back and replace it when the part came in.

Sadly, I gave up my own troubleshooting when I saw the computer control was flashing an error. Would have saved me a couple hundred bucks.

I have consistently been trying to use AI for the actual tasks I need to complete for work over the last year or so (we are gently encouraged to try it, but thankfully not forced). I have found it to be “successful” at maybe 1 in 10 tasks I give it. Even when successful, the code quality is so low I edit heavily before it’s pushed and attributed to me.

I think the problem I have is I rarely work on boilerplate stuff.

Sad as that is, I think you’re correct

 

I spent the long weekend setting up a home dashboard and thought I would share with this community.

I checked out a few options for this and settled on using Glance which takes a YAML as input, transforms it into a dashboard, and serves it. Its nice because it's a single executable. I have this set to run on startup on an old RPi 2, which also runs a fullscreen Chrome session pointed to localhost for display on an old monitor I had sitting around. The RPi 2 is able to run glance comfortably, it's a little slow to run Chrome but that's OK, this is not interactive. The monitor is on a remote so I can flick it on/off from my desk. I also made a "homescreen webapp" on my phone so I can jump to the same dashboard and click into any news that is interesting.

A few things I learned

  • with the HEAD property you can set the page to auto-refresh. Each widget caches internally so this can be set to the quickest refresh rate needed, and only some feeds will re-populate
  • you can combine multiple Lemmy community post streams into a single time-sorted "feed" using the RSS widget and the RSS link from each Lemmy community. You can also mix in other non-social news sources by adding their RSS (this worked better than the standard Lemmy community widget) So in the end I can have a nice mix of sources and there are enough of them to even populate when Lemmy isn't so active.
  • to supplement the weather widget, I added live satellite and radar loops. You can get them here: satellite (look for the *.gif under GEOCOLOR for each location) and radar (click the "image loop" link to get a radar loop after picking your local radar station). Applies to US only for radar. The US runs other satellites which cover the whole world, but GOES-19 is the US east coast, pictured roughly every 20 min.
  • my router (Microtik) provides nice graphs I could include so the dashboard includes a network bytes TX/RX graph for my home (this is below what is visible in the screenshot)

Here's my config

I hope this is helpful to someone!
