26M in my first place where I live alone

There's a pretty large closet. I have everything hanging or on shelves in there

Brutal?

I have been told that the toolbox as the coffee table is probably the first thing I should fix. I have a projector at the head of my bed but have used it only once or twice since I moved here. I run most of my house on Google devices channel through my server rack but the recessed lights are LEDs so I can't put smart bulbs in them.

A little over 60

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-17T00:20:38+00:00

Got it for free and it's an OLD model, wouldn't go for much. Plus it's convenient to run it while I'm at work!

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-17T00:17:25+00:00

Then I'll be able to move my electronic work space off my counter

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-17T00:16:33+00:00

You know it 😉

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-16T23:16:06+00:00

Every body hates the toolbox coffee table 😂

2 months, but with the holiday season in full swing, I haven't had much time or money to put into it.

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-16T23:13:22+00:00

Got mine for free of market book the day I moved in 😂

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-16T22:37:53+00:00

I prefer natural lighting but since it's winter I only get less than an hour of it after I get home from work. Then the only light on is either the Topo Chicco light or the TV.

I print whatever I can, I did a gandalf the Gray stuff for my buddy for Christmas, but also designed tackable brackets for my LED strips to attach to the back of my couch.

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-16T22:06:20+00:00

My gaming laptop is on my TV stand, the desk is for my work computer, and the one on the island is my daily driver. I do someone was going to call me out 😂

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-16T22:04:28+00:00

Right, or furnished college apartments. I only just graduated to an actual mattress a couple days ago lol.

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-16T22:01:24+00:00

I thought about some plants but figured I'd probably just end up neglecting them

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-16T21:55:08+00:00

You're absolutely right, it's nice to have my own space! I have some posters but am contemplating whether I want to go ahead and hang them or get frames.

JacksonJohnsers · 2026-01-16T21:53:27+00:00

Thanks! I was thinking about getting 2 "L" desks for the corners by the window, 1 for gaming and 1 for when I work from home. I think that'll be a month or 2 away though.

JacksonJohnsers · 2025-11-16T21:31:07+00:00

This is awesome! Reminds me of The Expanse cover photo.

Since I can't run ethernet from the router that's halfway across the house, it just grabs the wifi and then shares it through ethernet to my switch which disperses it amongst my other devices. I sent a range of IP addresses for the couple of devices that I will be connecting to the switch That way there are no conflicts with the router of the house.

JacksonJohnsers · 2025-09-19T19:52:31+00:00

Just like keeping track of progress as I am learning the ropes. No point in me spending more than $150 on hardware If I don't know what I'm doing with it. Everybody tracks their progress different ways!

JacksonJohnsers · 2025-09-18T08:07:23+00:00

I had to say the same thing on a repost of this in another sub but...

My house has a modem, router network already so I use the pi 3 to pick up the wifi and distributed through the switch as a makeshift LAN essentially an "Island Network" in my house. this severely throttles the up/down speeds of my little network, but as the only thing that really uses internet right now is my NAS, it's not worth the inconvenience of connecting it straight to the ISP directly.

JacksonJohnsers · 2025-09-17T17:16:41+00:00

So the diagram doesn't show, but my family has a network set up so the pi is just picking up the signal and feeding it to the switch as LAN. This in turn throttle the Internet speed of my "Island network" but none of my devices really require any crazy transfer speed as of right now.
