@ndupont Friend, you won’t need the documentation in case you die. You’ll need it because you will forget (like me) what you did and why.

@ndupont Stickers, yes. Colored sticks. I put little stickers all over the computers. Most stickers have mundane details (like host name, Subnet, etc.) but I also use a sticker for each major service. Everything else is documented in notebooks or spreadsheets. It’s probably overkill, but, between my memory and the home-grown gradual evolution of my #homelab, stickers really useful. I have 9 or so computers (rack-mounted), more controllers spread around (e.g., ESP32s running WLED, Pi Zeros), and nearly 250 individual devices for #homeautomation. I’m trying to learn about FOSS for configuration control but that’s slow going.

@gwww @luftruessel @selfhosted To my chagrin, my HA interacts with the Lutron Hub to control the fans. My other Caseta devices use Matter, which is proving to be unreliable so I am migrating away from it.

@gwww @luftruessel @selfhosted I’m traveling now. I’ll look after I get home this weekend.

@luftruessel @selfhosted I put in Lutron fan switches. Pricy, but work great and integrate easily with #homeassistant via Zigbee.

- Comment on I like my Rii K06 keyboard. I have one small problem I'm hoping for some help with. The IR remote will turn off my TV but won't turn it on. 3 weeks ago:
@DarrinBrunner That might have something to do with your TV’s standby status and settings. For example, “Wake-on-LAN” is not always available, nor are some network interfaces, including BT.
- Comment on Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure 6 months ago:
@phant Pi-hole is super easy to set up and easy to build on. It’s been very robust for me and also eye-opening due to the excellent UI. About 5% of the network traffic in my house is now blocked. Thousands of DNS requests per day. Most of that is trackers. Apps and “smart” devices are very determined to phone home so you’ll have to block many of these domains manually as they show up. Be forewarned, some apps and web sites will simply stop working if you block their tracking and other info gathering on your network. Luckily, there is good #FOSS to substitute.
