• I made a motorized cooler trike to drive around at a camp site. It was a goofy, but VERY fun project!youtu.be ↗

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Certificate management⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I run freeipa internally, which handles all internal https certs (as well as nice things like handling non sudo auth so I can just ssh to machines from an already authed machine without a PW prompt, and doing ldaps for internal things that support it)

  For external web, I have a single box running nginx as a reverse proxy thats web exposed. That nginx box has letsencrypt certs for the public web stuff. The nginx rp has the internal CA on it and will validate the internal https certs (no mullet SSL here!)

  I also do different domains for internal vs external, but thats not a requirement for a setup like this

  Rhasspy. Idk if rhasspy3 is out fully, but I would wait for that and then set it up. (I have began to see the home assistant side being released - its supposed to tie in a lot better than rhasspy2, and even brought the dev on to the HA project)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the Best Non-Alcoholic Alternative to an Ice Cold Beer at the End of the Day?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Highly recommend a soda stream, or soda stream alternative. My go to is 4 or 5 drops of lime juice in a glass, then the carbonated water. Tastes identical to the canned stuff, but way cheaper (and maybe less preservatives? Idk if the canned water has anything besides fruit juice and water)

  I also occasionally like root beer if I’m eating something junky like a pizza slice or burger. I bought a bag in a box of syrup from the small root beer brand I enjoy, and can make my own for a few cents instead of a few bucks per bottle. Plus, I can control the concentration depending on how sweet my sweet tooth is feeling that day

  The best part now though… If something breaks and you need to do some disassembly to fix it, you have the confidence to do it. Same goes for making any mods

  Batman? I believe it was a mesh protocol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you do personally to find happiness in your everyday life?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I like to create things. For me, its a nice feedback loop of positive feeling throughout the process.

  I get to learn new skills in order to complete the thing I’m trying to make. At the end of the day, I get to feel good that I learned something new.

  I get to work with my hands and throughout the process, I get to see the progress I have made. At the end of the week, I get to hold the thing as its coming along and feel good about the progress I’m making.

  At the end of the month / few months when I’m done with the build, I get to feel accomplished as I have overcome the challenges along the way, and I have a finished “thing”

  For the foreseeable time after, each time I use the thing I made, I get a little boost of positivity, because I get to think to myself “yeah! I made this!”

  It also allows me to be social by sharing the thing I have made with other makers online, or I can help them with their projects by sharing knowledge I have accumulated.
