I’ve run OPNsense, PFsense, OpenWRT, and high end consumer routers and I’ve found Unifi the most stable. I’m also less able to screw it up and I’ve had to divert functions to VMs because I couldn’t do it on my UDM. But having Internet service fail over with notifications that the normies in the house can understand is helpful. Then being able to find the WI-FI password for the Iot network from the app is helpful. VLANS by port through a pretty simple WebUI is helpful. Their handing of power (do they support NUT yet?) and redundant links is less good. I get errors when I have two routes between switches like I broke something. I’ve brought the network down due to STP not stopping loops but I also don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I’d do it again though.

For NAS, ceph storage plus NextCloud plus WebDAV has been good lately but I’m sure I’m leaving performance on the table. It’s just hard to break.

Their PDU-PRO has three network ports on the front and I believe only one of them works. They even gray the other two out on their site. I don’t know what they thought they would do with it but they sure failed.

I checked for relay. I recall it’s pretty easy to see on the desktop icon. I’ll have to try again next time I’m away to see.

I was trying to stream my Jellyfin server on vacation…Over Tailnet I couldn’t reliably stream anything. Over VPN it was as good as local. I can’t believe it’s just a routing issue but I wasn’t proxied so it should have been the same. So a VPN for one user might fix the issue. The headaches of segmenting the network on that VPN are another problem even if the hardware/router is capable but doable.

I’m fascinated by the process you’ve described and it’s not far off. I knew that once I put these online, especially here with you people, someone would piece the steps together in no time. I’ve been doing pixel art for decades which has always been a mix of algorithms and manual labor. This mosaic process has been a few years coming between scripts, models, scales, pre/post processing, and output medium. The FOSS part was that I was including the print files for any FOSS project but not proprietary stuff. I’m still looking for a way to monetize the image process so I can spend more time making things I think are beautiful and less time grinding for the boss. One can dream.

It isn’t but that’s a great idea. Mosaic of photos of us to make our initials. You’re a genius.

Done. I don’t run KDE so its only the sticker file.

Groovy straight up looks like shit. I thought Lua looked okay if you stood 10 feet from the screen and squinted. Even the moon, in recognition of its Brazilian Portuguese roots was included. Understand the intended use is a 2 inch tall sticker so fine details should be lost. It’s the forest, not the trees.

I didn’t feel that Tailscale was FOSS but I’ll add that one to the gallery. I swore I checked Debian when I stuck it so I must have rotated the swirl in production pre-hexing. AOSP could replace Android but a) I’m not running an AOSP device and 2) their current logo isn’t that shape friendly. But I might try anyway.

Something entirely not tech related but I love the investigative spirit

I watched a friend beat TOTK so I just ran around and tried to 100% the game rather than beating it. Slower times too.

I only have one laptop, so not every sticker is a self hosted software. Others are things I use and enjoy.

The GIMP one is the worst

Per your suggestion I put the high res files up, self hosted, for anything that is FOSS. I guess someone can pull one of those for their Gravatar that way. I thought of a way to use this art style for conference badges but the detail is already small at a 2" hex that it wouldn’t be practical.

Yes! At this point I wonder how much of the show has spoiled my eventual run through the game.

What happens if your server is offline and an email comes in? I’m genuinely curious what it would do. Or must you VPS host your mail server for maximum uptime?

Anything on PS5. I bought one thinking I’d catch up on whatever I’d missed since the PS1 days. Heard that that mushroom zombie game was good. Never started it. I just sit at the desk and play another round of CS2 deathmatch.

Healthier sure, but tastes better? Do you have a recommendation on a specific brand or do I need to make it myself?

Lol, I try not to take the complaints too seriously. What’s it missing though? What project do you think there needs to be a hexagon floor?

Fixed. I don’t know why the node went down but I forgot to put it on the HA list. It’ll be more resilient now.
