@cRazi_man @selfhosted My kind of retirement project. The only problem is that time is not endless and they won’t tell me the deadline.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What is your weirdest self-hosting problem you've had to solve? For me: Mouse inside the server.
2·2 months ago@Darkassassin07 Looks very useful. Also timely for me. I have a use case that requires multiple synched pi-holes. 👍🏼

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Finally happish with my all-in-one homelab (20+ services and way too much tinkering)
2·3 months ago@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.

1·3 months ago@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.
@luftruessel @selfhosted I put in Lutron fan switches. Pricy, but work great and integrate easily with #homeassistant via Zigbee.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•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. EDIT: FIXED IT
4·4 months 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.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hostable projects that are just for fun?
1·5 months ago@mko I have one. Lots of fun. Made with a Raspberry Pi 0. Lots of plans online. It sits on my windowsill. Tiny! It feeds those two commercial flight tracking sites as well as others. Here is a link to the software for web interface to your ADSB receiver.

@Sxan @homeassistant Generally, you can modify the update intervals on Zigbee devices and this significantly affects battery life. Access to the setting depends on the app you are using to access the device and the firmware. Older Zigbee devices often don’t have this feature.
