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.

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

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.)

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)

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)

The capacitor rating is 203j, that’s 0.02uf at 5%. It doesn’t LOOK burnt to me. Is this a CRT board?

We’re using a self hosted habitica here, it’s not perfect by any means, but it gamifies it which is what we need here.
- Comment on 2025 Self-Host User Survey: Open for Submissions 3 weeks ago:
The problem is when one app requires a different apache(or some other random requisite) version than the other one, docker just deals with that so I don’t have to. That’s what I like about it.

Docker? Without it life would be difficult so self host

This, but also isn’t that how genetics works? You’re not going to see a native Chihuahua thriving in the arctic.
(But it’s probably something about what countries actually do testing, etc. )
- Comment on What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? 1 month ago:
Nice! My most used automation is a verbal “door is open, please close the door” on my back door, when it’s been left open for about a minute. Our dog can let herself in the house (like a velociraptor from Jurassic Park) and still refuses to close the door behind her.

4 years running and only the d6 needs reprinting. (It’s a hair too low)

That’s what I understand. They might have one that doesn’t go to a barrel jack but I don’t remember.

Yes, that. It’s a bit much, but it’s really easy to use.

Worse, she was choking and tried to get the attention of an associate in the other room by banging them together. Unfortunately they made a hollow thud sound. Hey last thought before she died was “I wish I had won the Yesbell prize…”

- Comment on op amp performance: what factors affect quality? Example case ua741 (bottom) versus NE5532 (top) audio signals, why is NE5532 better, what specific factors contribute to its superiority? 2 months ago:
The difference you’re seeing is gain bandwidth product. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gain–bandwidth_product the 741 rolls off at 1MHz and the 5532 rolls off at 10MHz, so it’ll go about a decade higher frequency at about the same performance.
If you want the layout difference, in the 741 datasheet look at section 7.2, and on the ne5532, section 8.2, the schematic is different.
On top of that, the 741 was released in 1968, vs 1979 for the 5532. 10 years is huge.

- Comment on How do I get started designing and making and/or acquiring my own pcb? 2 months ago:
If I recall, Altium has a free tier, it’s my driver for work, so I use that. As for acquiring a designed board, jlcpcb is a good, inexpensive PCB fab (there are others, but jlc has been surprisingly good for my use)
If you need assembly, too, some do it, it’s not cheap though.

I’m skeptical, but I kind of want one to mess around with. (How fast can it move, how accurate, etc)
- Comment on Pretty part of the week: Lian Xin XDMD camera autofocus coils 2 months ago:
There looks to be no feedback mechanism, this would make it less useful for laser applications, as drift would not let it keep position well enough. Very neat though.
