When i first started self hosting i went through several reinstalls of unraid until I finally got my method down and had a better understanding of what I was doing.

I recently did the same thing with arch on my laptop. The past like two weeks I reinstalled arch like 6 times until I knew what I wanted and how to do it from my notes, I went from arch with plasma to i3wm and now to hyprland so now I can do a minimal install to hyprland and get everything up and going to the point I felt confident enough to do the same to my main home desktop

Ive been looking at those anker solix battery systems they supposedly can be used as a ups but haven’t looked into how well and you can plug solar panels into them which was my original goal to reduce the power usage from the grid at least for part of the day

I would like to say leaf green just because I played it later on and the little clubhouse you could make was cool, I recently started trying to replay one of each generation like yellow, crystal, and now emerald but man I just want to power through them but you have to grind to level up and i get sleepy

I used nextcloud to replace Google drive, i was using the calendar but ended up using the protonmail one instead

I have immich machine learning and ollama with openwebui

I use immich search a lot to find things like pictures of the side of the road to post on my community [email protected]

I almost never use the ollama though, not really sure what to do with it other than ask it dumb questions just to see what it says

I use the duckduckgo one when it auto has an answer to something I searched but its not too reliable

Get steam-headless running on there

Like seperate articles based off of topics automatically?

I have grav for a super basic site and blog I never update. Its like flat files of text you can just edit i also use cloudflare tunnel for it

Dang that’s sucks, I never used it but it’s neat in concept

I was just thinking about texting adventures and if there were any with like trained llm backends

Yeah I have the lifetime license from before they switched to a yearly subscription, for me as I was pretty new to the whole thing it just made it super simple to get up and running, now I’m setting up dockers in compose so still learning but being able to just go to the community app store and use the templates to get things up and running right away was super nice, and the ability to upgrade drives as you go as well

My coworker recommended me unraid, so I tried it and similarly I was upgrading to a new gaming rig so my old gaming rig became my server. It was a mini itx i7 and I started with two 2tb hard drives then just went from there. Learning all the arrs by following the ‘trash guides’ then expanding out. A lot of trial and error and slowly upgrading drives over time.

Now I’m close to 100tb of data and have several family members using my plex server as their only streaming service plus a ton of personal stuff like rss and audio books etc

It was a pain to find gu24, I had to order them online for two rooms

After this they will stop and start slapping a $1000 label

That plus a browser extension that finds the right rss feed for you like get rss feed url on firefox.

I copy the rss with the extension
Then I paste that into five filters
Use that to give it to fresh rss which will get me a nice looking post with images and text

FreshRSS, i had it installed and setup with a fee feeds for over a year and only like this month has it become my daily read, i can get almost everything in there to just read through while I drink my coffee, sites I bookmarked but never go to can now come to me.

Also with ‘five filters full text rss’ to get all the images in the feed

It’ll be much easier to install immich than pixelfed

Can’t take the house with you when you die so the less you end up paying the better in a way, unless you have someone to pass it on to like kids

Ah that explains a lot, i had added a mastodon account to pixeldroid app so I thought it was the same thing as login with mastodon but after trying it some more todag I see the limitations of using a mastodon account as a pixelfed, more like just a bunch of mastodon posts showing up that don’t load right

Some thing like packagetrackr? I’ve also wanted something like that but haven’t really looked
