Ooh, that would go well next to my DEC Multias!

I wish I kept my pizza box tbh.

… I’m stealing that 😀

Just family, but everyone has their own home. So my moms house, brothers house, sisters apt, BILs, F/MIL, etc.

Videos of dance recitals and such just went up too, so thats probably about 8 hours of watching this week alone.

I couldn’t find any rules for this community and I don’t know if it’s allowed.

Its allowed up to the limits of the lemmy.world TOS, so no direct links, discussion is fine.

mainly because everyone says it’s the best thing to use a homelab for.

Great for self-hosting if its something you use. Not really a homelab thing, these two things are not necessarily the same either. My hosted services for the family are entirely segregated from my lab, which does a very different job.

How much is it utilized (in watch hours/week for example, mine was less than 2/week)?

Over the past 30 days… Up to 6 streams at a time, 15 days worth of streaming hours.

Glad to have your first post - welcome!

I think an AI tag (honestly i think there are a few different ones that could/should be used) would be appropriate, but I’m not going to outright remove as “low effort”, no.

There are a few reasons for that. The first is thats a community decision, not a decision for me to make for the community.

I personally don’t agree either. Its just a tool, and like any tool can be used well or used poorly, which can usually be seen quite easily in code. For example, LLM’s are excellent for finding security issues, being pretty good at explaining code blocks or APIs being connected to, or resolving issues with errors that may be more esoteric.

What they aren’t great at, IMO, is creating the entire thing whole hog, thats typically where you’ll find issues (though it can happen in small sections of code, so a person should review that as well).

Beyond the tool and thinking of it in terms of copyright and complaints about data centers and the like, I would still disagree as the root of the problem has nothing to do with the tool and everything to do with capitalism. A local model needs drastically less power than something coming out of anthropic or Microsoft, which has more to do with them abusing your data than the actual operations themselves.

But considering its use and application, including the Linux kernel BTW, expecting everything to be llm-free is pretty much a non-starter, fwiw.

That said, I’ll be making a post about it along with some other items that should probably get tagged such as commercial applications, freemium models, etc, so the community can come to a consensus.

FYI, you can just edit your post, you don’t need to delete and post again

Unfortunately I don’t use radicale so I can’t help much on that front

Thousands or businesses run public URLs, as long as you configure it right you are mostly good.

Part of “configuring it right” for companies is generally having the public-side be pretty well walled off from anything internal though, there isn’t anything wrong with taking the same approach at home, too

Will be doing exactly that!

There are a few more items to go up on the docket for the community, including other folks to help out with modding (to expand coverage hours), some items around tags (non-free software posts, AI, etc), so on that may be beneficial.

So for better or worse everyone is going to be hearing a lot more from the mod team as long as I’m here :)

Absolutely! If you’ve got a title to help me find yours, I can restore it

There are quite a few that were pulled, and they do need to be checked one at a time (some spam here and there that was also oddly noted as rule 3), so a title would be great

Edit: Found it, restored

They have a paid cloud storage, but you can also store locally. I do recommend an NVR though, frigate or shinobi are pretty good options there

Reolink, aqara, or amcrest would be my rec.

All set - restored

I feel like thats giving me too much credit haha

I am really into the idea of doing some hydroponics and microgreens too though - thats what I’m prepping for this winter at least!

So I don’t have the acreage right now, so I’m going to call this gardening level - but what I do with HA includes things like:

• Soil monitoring, mostly moisture level but I’m experimenting a bit with some NPK sensors. I have a couple of solar battery banks that power them, brings all that back wireless.
• Automated watering - rain barrel collection (with a sensor so I know how much is in there and so I don’t run a pump dry), relay control to open up the line and auto cut off. Combines a bit with weather monitoring so I don’t water heavily if rain is coming, waters in the evening to the morning to avoid evaporation
• Flow sensor checks the water usage off the rain barrels so I know things are working right
• Soil temp sensor is also on the list, not doing it right now just testing a few sensors still
• Gate controls meant for a chicken coop, right now its just raising a flag for funsies, but when I get the right property it’ll close off the coop at night to protect the chickens
• Light sensors to make sure the plants are getting enough, purely informational
• Barometric sensors (originally just to be alerted before a storm comes through, though I like it now so I know when my knee is going to hurt like hell so I can prep)

Inside I have sensors to check for moisture around my water heater, automation for my lighting (like when I get out of my bed, the led strip turns on, brightness determined by room light levels and time of day), etc. I work from home, so I also have a light above my door that acts like an on-air light - if I join a call my wife/kids know not to interrupt me (light works great, kids still need operational adjustment here and there).

If all you want is that weather dashboard though…

Magic Mirror + OneCallWeather module + rain map module and you’ve got a slick setup, maybe add in some camera streaming via rtsp for a bonus. And if you go homeassistant later, you can add a module for that too.

Oh see for me that sounds like a dream to set up HA for… (also the kind of acreage I’m trying to get). Off the top:

• Solar, track the energy generation and battery storage/health
• Have outbuildings? Check on them with esphome sensors!
• Into astronomy? TRACK IT THERE!

It mostly depends on what you’re doing with the property and what your goals might be. HA would be a lot to set up just for weather - magicmirror would definitely be the better choice for simple - but if you’ve got other stuff you are doing or want to do, HA would be a dream.

Its not discontinued, btw, just now in the cloud and not free.

Still would not recommend though, its awful imo.

You’ve already got some options for the json, so I’ll just add:

dockerized weather forecasting apps

As a thought, maybe magic mirror? I’m (ab)using magic mirror as a dakboard/skylight style calendar, no mirror to be found, and the weather widgets are pretty good too. Another option would be Home Assistant if you’ve already got it up and running, you can set kiosk style with a single page to a specific logged in user, same with grafana if you’ve got it up. The Infinity data source is great for json ingest.

I’d say no matter what reports will always be a factor (well, once I can consistently see them at least, thus the note to DM)

Thats fair, though I’ll point out that in the past 2 months there have been 2 posts removed for being “low effort”, and were also not at a negative anyway just a mod’s personal perspective.

The most recent one that actually was upside down self-deleted.

I don’t believe there is any real issue at the moment here, but you are welcome to start a discussion thread on it.

Edit: Slight correction to myself - there was one more which I’m about to pull the plug on, unfortunately I haven’t gotten any reports on it due to report federation issues. Hopefully the .world folks can help resolve the inability to add my lw alt soon…
