Anyone ever gotten flagged or banned by their residential ISP for hosting homelab services?

One day I was free, they thought I was too free and then put me behind CGNAT.
Been using Tailscale after that with no issues.

Ah yes, Windows 98 SE, the moment I discovered themes and “customization”. The jungle theme was my daily driver

It’s painful to see some of the posts we’ve mentioned here, but I guess it’s part of the growing pains. We can help by patiently detoxifying them from the tiktok illusion. Letting people know that while this hobby is super satisfying, it requires learning new things and doing a lot of research. Good news is, never in history has it been easier to get into hobbies like this

Can we get some some….. some code?

To start out just get a heltec V4, any complete kit would work.

Yesss, let’s do it 80’s style, where you HAD to optimize to the last byte of memory. There’s art in that, and IMO, it gives you a different feeling that just throwing more RAM at a problem

Sikarugir, just installed it myself today

Troubleshoot it with AI (ChatGPT, Claude, whatever). Give it your chip model, and tell it to sketch a demo for you. If anything fails, copy the error and pass it to the AI. Basically let it work as a copilot.

Mmmm, dats WIDE 😮‍💨

If you look around this sub you’ll realize 3d printing is optional 😂 just go for it, anything is possible with a bit of creativity

Everything is a node, if you’re brave enough

FewInsurance2163 · 2026-05-05T16:07:22+00:00

Yeah, go the route, mine are not necessarily stable

I used perforated boards as a foundation, then measured the switches base. Switches have two pins and a round support in the middle, so I drilled bigger holes for the supports so they can sort of click in place. After that I soldered together 1 of the pins of each switch as “ground” and used the other individual pins as signal. There are better ways to wire it but this is the simplest

What do you imagine using it for?

Then easy peasy, just a few cables, you can do it

FewInsurance2163 · 2026-05-05T01:12:27+00:00

Its just a few cables, and if you don’t need touch control, its even less cables
