What’s this about right after waking up? (I may have struck this from memory)

Can you set the BIOS to wake up at a certain time? Many have that option.

Ugh, I just got matrix with video working and it took way too long.

Find people who are into things you’re into, the conversation will flow. Even some very introverted people will talk your ears off if you find the right topic, they are just less likely to tell you what that topic is.
- Comment on !@$& Homelab Networking 1 week ago:
When I set it up, I did not know better.
Now? Inertia. Nginx already does it for other things, I haven’t bothered to move home assistant over because home assistant works ( all but one days in a cycle)
- Comment on !@$& Homelab Networking 1 week ago:
I understand.
I learned again for the nth time that home assistant doesnt like refreshing my cert, and I can’t go to the site to refresh the cert unless it has a valid cert…
Maybe I’ll fix it tomorrow. It’s valid again now.

That’s how they hear the art
- Comment on Interoperability between self-hosted services 2 weeks ago:
My process typically goes: ooh, shiny new service!
If it has a docker compose, I’ll read up a little more on it, then set it up.
At that point, I’ll cry a bit in having to change my nginx config, because it’s new and unsupported, figure out what’s actually needed, then realize I didn’t set it up with authentik or even check if it was supported.
Usually I’ll dig around and someone got something close, so I’ll set it up that way, and if it works, great! If not, dig through the documents.Any further interoperability is luck based.
(I’m currently trying to get element-call working before I open it to my family, the whole matrix stack is leaving me scarred )
- Comment on Why does this diagram on how CMOS switching show the ground voltage rising? 2 weeks ago:
If you’re measuring ground at the supply, you’ll have a voltage drop on both the supply line and the return line. It’s much less on a PCB, but if you are switching fast enough with large big voltages, even the inductive load of vias to ground can ruin your day.
- Comment on Looking for a selfhostable chat service that people on phone and computers can log onto 3 weeks ago:
I started trying to set it up last week, I can’t seem to figure out why authentik and it will not play. It either tries authentik and gets a 404 or ignores it and doesn’t find the user. (Nginx is also involved). It’s the least user friendly thing I’ve tried to self host so far
- Comment on Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster 3 weeks ago:
No complaints, but I’m just 2-3 users, so I’ve not really pushed it hard.
- Comment on Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster 3 weeks ago:
Ram is full. I wouldn’t say performance is great, but it’s good enough that no one complains.
- Comment on Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster 3 weeks ago:
I’ve got the arr stack, nextcloud and immich, with 16gb ram and I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t add anything else.
- Comment on Hardware raccomandation for new selfhoster 3 weeks ago:
I’ve got a 4-bay ugreen nas with truenas on it, works great. (The non plus model)
- Comment on I'm unsure what to self-host 3 weeks ago:
I started with a Minecraft server, once the PC was in the basement…
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
They probably have several checkpoints to scan every hour or half hour, I’ve seen places with RFID checkpoints that security has to tap on a regular basis. The idea is that security has to not spend the whole night at the desk.
Now they are likely looking for people breaking in, not a small octopus breaking out, so it might not get noticed.
- Comment on How do you organize your components library? 4 weeks ago:
I keep the digikey labels. (Or other stores) Usually in the shipping baggies.
- Comment on How do you organize your components library? 4 weeks ago:
My component list is small, generic things go in a tackle box, like they use for fishing. And things that are project specific stay in a small box for that project. It’s not perfect, but it works well enough.
- Comment on Using the LM311 comparator, as a faster replacement for LM741 in project 4 weeks ago:
Looking at the datasheet for the lm311, the output is a transistor (I think it’s shown on your schematic), the reason you need a pull-up on it is because it has no bias or power. That will let it pull the voltage down. If you’re noting that it doesn’t rise fast enough, try making that 100k smaller, give it some more strength.
. The 741 on the other hand has a pair of transistors on the output stage, attached to +v and -v so it can push and pull the output

The trip though will get you a cpap potentially, and those after helpful if you do have apnea.
If you have apnea and you see a doctor, you’ll sleep better with the CPAP, give it a week or two though.
- Comment on Using the LM311 comparator, as a faster replacement for LM741 in project 4 weeks ago:
What’s your schematic with the lm311 ? Input impedances, output impedance, voltages, etc

As opposed to normal objects, the mass of a tennis ball is inversely proportional to its size.
- Comment on Planning to selfhost images and calendar in addition to HTTP(S) 5 weeks ago:
Mine doesn’t have 80, it has a reverse proxy on 443 when I’m using a subdomain, but there is an option to use a subfolder instead. (This is with nginx, not apache, but I would assume it’s similar)
The thing that doesn’t yet work for me is the redirect back after authentik login. (The login works, but just doesn’t do it as seamlessly as I expect and I think it’s a config issue)

SPACE!
- Comment on Mini pc for home server? 1 month ago:
The first thing I did with my ugreen was install truenas, then learn how to use truenas.
While I’ve migrated several docker compose apps over, I feel I’m still learning the truenas part of the system.
- Comment on Self hosted chore app 1 month ago:
My only advice is to give yourself dailies that you actually want to work on, not things you should be doing. Put those in habits until you want to work on them.
Tasks are for bigger, one off projects like “decorate for Halloween”. … Which reminds me
- Comment on Self hosted chore app 1 month ago:
It’s going well. We’re in the mid 20s for level, and I get reminded to have fun. (I had to add a daily of “do something fun”. I found that I was being over stretched and stressed out, this makes me actively like part of my day.)
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 1 month ago:
And the end of the electrolytic cap looks okay? (The blue can). If that thing spit out over all the parts, maybe it can explain the mess.
Otherwise, it feels like something is heating up in an undesired way. This could be something downstream of some filtering capacitor that is now dead?
If you had a thermal camera, it would tell you a lot, but not necessarily point at the bad part. Can you get more run time with a fan? (Not a permanent solution)
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 1 month ago:
I’m reaching my limit here (I do small electronics) but that cap looks like it’s on the primary side of power in, so it’s rated for power line in. (Hence the high voltage rating).
What is the tv doing/not doing? If any of the LEDs (power led) turn on at all, I would guess that it’s not that side of the circuit. (I don’t know much about TVs, but these are always the questions I ask for troubleshooting)
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 1 month ago:
The capacitor rating is 203j, that’s 0.02uf at 5%. It doesn’t LOOK burnt to me. Is this a CRT board?
