  • spend hours ricing my desktop and decided I hated it at the end, and ended up wiping my entire OS

    Jump

  • I just have a heavily customised and themed KDE setup that I've been updating and bringing with me from machine to machine over the years, I've even set up all relevant dotfiles on a syncthing sync so any changes I make are reflected between my desktop and laptop

  • Unbalanced centrifuge, IRL a small tabletop one like the image will just be a really expensive mistake, but the worst case scenario can indeed be lethal. Here is a larger one exploding https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8IOL5iLwG8

  • How do you document your Homelab?

    Jump

  • I just set up everything via ansible and comment everything religiously, I've gotten to the point where I have playbooks for my laptop and desktop so if I have do do a clean install I just have to run the playbook and everything is set up and installed to my liking

    It's annoying to go to my playbook to make changes and rerun it every time I want to install or remove anything from my daily PCs, but it pays off when I migrate computers or for some reason have to do a clean install

    And for high level stuff and things not in ansible I keep a tiddlywiki since no matter how catastrophic the failure of my systems I can always find a way to access an HTML file for my own reference

  • What are some cool projects that I can do with a 1st gen Raspberry Pi?

    Jump

  • I recommend setting it up with a let's encrypt cert via tailscale, that way not only you get a proper cert for free without opening your pihole to the internet, but also you get a way to use it when you are not at home, but if you are using a raspberry pi 1 or any other pi from the SD card I recommend using Log2ram in order to preserve the SD card

    Edit: forgot to add that you should install zram-tools and run 

     
        
sudo dphys-swapfile unistall

    on a first gen pi since the low ram can increase the tendency to swap especially with unbound and that can also kill your SD card prematurely

  • What is your favorite pen brand?

    Jump

  • Back when I constantly needed a pen I used to use a Parker espirit telescopic fountain pen, since it was the best small fountain pen that cost little enough that I wouldn't mind loosing, but it was still small enough and good enough for my tastes. More recently since I stopped needing an actual pen with any sort of frequency it just kept getting dry and I just decided to stop carrying one.

    This days the only thing that I physically write with any sort of frequency are ttrpg character sheets and for those I just need a good pencil, so I moved to the wsd magnetic 2.0 mm lead holder. I just love it both as a great mechanical pencil and a fidget toy
