  Video and voice chat with matrix works well once it’s set up. I… Struggled a bit setting it up, and I don’t think I’m the exception.

  Haven’t tried screen sharing yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you Sand Coloured PETG without loosing the Colour? Are there any Methods to Preserve or Regain the Colour?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve used my soldering iron at 200c to re-attach broken off pieces, to much success.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you Sand Coloured PETG without loosing the Colour? Are there any Methods to Preserve or Regain the Colour?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t you use a soldering air gun? Actually I don’t know if there are cheap ones that can get a nice low temp, but the nozzle tends to be a fine tip.

  It might be best to ask him. A 3d printer, when things go sideways, is like a needy pet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenSCAD Is Kinda Neat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice! I’ve used a lot of other people’s work to make my dice chandelier, and a handful of other stuff, but I’ve mostly been using it to model wood panels for a few cabinets, I made a simple module that takes in panel size and makes the panel, but also prints it on the console, so I can make a cutlist later.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenSCAD Is Kinda Neat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow. Here I’m happy with “check out this cylinder I’m using to wedge between things”

  (I’ve done a few other weird things, but I’m most proud of my shims that are the right size)

  Call the doctor!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for Community Organizing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Having gone through it, a matrix server is not newbie friendly yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Christmas Animals⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m part of the problem. I have a penguin inflatable in my lawn. (I also have a dragon and a dinosaur, also not known for Christmas)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting with a seven year old⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly? It was a pain, I used several different guides and they were all out of date in different ways. Unfortunately, it looks like external users are having connectivity problems, that I’ll try to solve next week when I have time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosting with a seven year old⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My kid is 9, and it’s all Minecraft and I just installed a non federated synapse server so they can text family without having to deal with parental controls. At that age, I figure it’s more about having fun, and if they learn typing skills on the way, big win

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DIY Unfinished Resurrection Project (DURP) challenge thru 1st Day of Spring. Selfhosters Encouraged!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oidc, and it’ll end up opening up to more family around the holidays, as authentik is also my matrix user provider (shut out of the real world because I wanted my 9 year old to be able to text and video call family). Mealie was a piece of cake compared to the whole synapse environment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DIY Unfinished Resurrection Project (DURP) challenge thru 1st Day of Spring. Selfhosters Encouraged!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks! I finally linked mealie with authentik. It was a 10 minute task, if that, but this post pushed me over

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun/interesting things to self host?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m running github.com/awinterstein/habitica/ and have built the android app locally to get access. I really need to update and build it again eventually.

  It’s not seamless, but it functions for the family.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fun/interesting things to self host?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Examples of the type of service I’m looking at: a media server, photos app (to replace Google Photos), game servers, recipe management, home automation… What other things do you know about that are fun/interesting/useful?

  I use:

  • Immich for photo hosting
  • Jellyfin and navidrome for media (video and audio)
  • Calibre and calibre-web for ebooks
  • Minecraft server
  • Mealie for recipes.
  • Home assistant for automation
  • Habitica for habit forming
  • And I have fpp for my Christmas lights (the application is xlights, fpp is the server that runs the scripts)

  All of these I like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shut up science!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Selfhosted alternatives to Discord with screensharing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is the peak life in 2026 is marrying a AI Girlfriend and having a AI friends? why no one wants to be social?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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 ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I started with a Minecraft server, once the PC was in the basement…
