  • Home maintenance tracker?

    Jump

  • Not home specific, but maybe Vikunja? It lets you have projects, and tasks due within those projects. I think its more tailored toward teams working on projecgaprojects though.

  • Do you use a song for your alarm clock?

    Jump

  • I've done something similar, but I use home assistant to gradually increase the volume of the radio over the course of 10 minutes.

  • anyone have a sheet music system/workflow that works?

    Jump

  • Are you looking to obtain sheet music, or scan in your existing sheet music?

  • Selfhost an LLM

    Jump

  • Indeed, other than being able to get the model running, having decent hardware is the next most important part.

    3060 12gb is probably cheapest card to get, 3090 or other 24gb card if you can get it

  • Intel Compute Sticks - Making them useful (or fun)?

    Jump

  • I just bought one to use as a Magic Mirror dashboard. I can't think of any other real use for them other than as dashboards.

    I like the Volumio idea though. You can set up a Music Assistant container and get a whole home audio setup without having to run a bunch of speaker wire. At my old place I had an Apple TV airplay movie audio into the kitchen so you wouldn't miss any dialogue while you ran into the kitchen.

    Edit: Really specific hypothetical. If they're powerful enough to run Kodi, and you have a travel homelab with Jellyfin/Plex, I wonder if they could serve as a travel streaming stick 🤔

  • Looking for recommendation to upgrade my Raspberry Pi-based home server

    Jump

  • I find Lenovo makes the best ones in terms of expandability. Full size PCI-e is crazy on their ThinkCentres

  • In terms of wallet, keys, phone, etc, which pocket does each belong to in your jeans?

    Jump

  • If I just have pants/shorts:

    • Front Left: Phone. This is what I mainly hold my phone in, and dictates where everything else goes
    • Front Right: Slim bifold wallet and keys.
    • Rear pockets: Nothing. I don't like the feeling of sitting on anything. It also might be needless anxiety, but I feel like I could be pick pocketed more easily if I had anything in my rear pockets.

    If I'm wearing a sports coat, which isn't often, I'll put my phone in my right interior pocket, and my wallet and keys in my left interior pocket. Mostly since I can then reach in with my left hand to get my phone.

    If I need to carry more items I'll use a small satchel or something. All of this sounds convoluted, but makes sense in my head. Also, I don't wear jeans, haven't for years. They're not very flattering from behind and they always manage to pull on my leg hairs somehow.

  • Control light without 3rd party app

    Jump

  • I've got a couple Hue bulbs connected through Zigbee2MQTT and haven't had any issues.

  • People who don't like math, why?

    Jump

  • This is basically how I feel. I love physics...concepts. Relativity is really cool. Optics is really cool. Magnetism is really cool.

    Sitting down to calculate the force a charged particle feels in an electric field if fired at a certain velocity? That sucks. It's so easy to make a mistake and a chore to do.

    Also, to your point about naming conventions, it's an unfortunate side effect of always building on top of existing work. Why is integral symbol the way it is? Isaac Newton wrote an S next to his calculations (I think for "sum", but I could be wrong). A lot of math is really old. What was a good way of keeping track of math concepts 300 years ago? Idk, but that Riemann guy came up with a way to add an infinite amount of numbers.

    Sure we could rename everything, but then all the textbooks written beforehand would be really confusing.

    [NAS] Onboard vs HBA vs SATA expansion cards

    Jump

  • There's a youtuber that goes by the name Wolfgang's Channel. He's basically got a series on making on making efficient NAS's.

    Basically, in terms of watts consumed, it's better to not have an HBA card installed since they can prevent the system from preventing lower C states when idle. Thus having a board with more SATA ports is better since you won't need an HBA card.

    Here's a link to known power efficient setups.

    If you still want to go the add in route, I think the consensus is that SATA add in cards aren't as reliable as HBA cards, but HBA cards are more power hungry. Here's a link to HBA add in cards' power consumption.

    Also, if you have HDDs, 5400 rpm drives consume less power than 7200 rpm drives.

    At a certain point you're spending more money than you save in your power bill, but I can't deny that its fun making your build as efficient as possible.

  • Another added bonus is that the battery isn't hard to replace. Mine stopped turning on and I decided to replace the battery as quick speculative fix. Worked like a charm. Sadly the headband is worse for wear and isn't easily replaced.

  • My detailed de-google journey: Why and what I replaced with

    Jump

  • Probably your lemmy instance censoring a word contained within what was written.

  • How to migrate from GMail

    Jump

  • Firstly, it doesn't have to be all at once, do it in stages.

    Also, when I switched I used it as an opportunity to organize my emails, so I made a finances tag, a medical tag, etc. I would make a tag and move over all the emails that fit that tag, eventually I had moved everything over. It also ended up being a good chance to close accounts I hadn't used before.

  • How do you introduce the Fediverse to other people?

    Jump

  • The amount of gatekeeping I'm seeing here is insane

  • Self hosted calendar

    Jump

  • I tried both and for some reason Baikal just played nicer. I'm sure either is fine though.

    Nextcloud was too bulky for my needs.

  • Any fitness trackers not sending my health data to the USA?

    Jump

  • You could try Withings. I believe they're based out of France.

  • Smart TV OS Alternative

    Jump

  • As others are saying, OSMC might work. Most difficult part is making it so that the TV turns on when you turn on the computer since ARC isn't a thing for most computers.

    I ended up giving up on OSMC and bought an Apple TV since nothing else got the "wife approval" factor. It's better than Google getting my data, has a Plex client, and let's me stream my Steam library.

  • Any experience with teaching kids Linux?

    Jump

  • I don't know what your - and your kid's - situation is, but I worry pushing Linux onto someone would be counterproductive to getting them to like it.

    I only use it because I genuinely like and appreciate it. I'd probably start by getting him interested in it. If he likes it enough then he'll try and learn more by himself.

    I recently got an LLM running locally on an AMD GPU. This was only possible on Linux. Depending on your son, something like that could be a cool way to get him interested.

  • How do you mean teach?

    Just getting them to use it or teaching them terminal commands?
