I just did this instead of buying a headlamp in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

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.

    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

    Can you stop beans from making you gassy? in c/hackernews@lemmy.bestiver.se
    What are your favorite and least favorite variety of bean, and why? in c/cooking@lemmy.world
    [–] 3 points 3 months ago

    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 :)

    So a friend set me up with some resources. in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

    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.

    • Finally installed a bathroom fan motor I've been hoarding for over 20 years in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

    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 :)

    Changed out the flame sensor for our furnace. in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world
    [–] 7 points 4 months ago (1 child)

    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.

    Glance home dashboard (lemmy.zip)
     

    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!
