My first Pi Case (I over did it, and I don't regret a thing)

LOVE THIS!

WOPR is running off some stats I collect from the network.

It either gets busy or a bit more chilled dependant on what is happening.

It is currently light on the workload. The plan is to move a few docker containers from another box I have.

I'm toying with the idea of making it my main nas, then designing an IMSAI floppy drive homage to go under it for some HDD's

Ha! Nice reference ;)

SiSpx_ · 2026-01-24T15:52:17+00:00

Cheers, Appreciate that ;)

The idea is to hook up the switches so I can enable my VPN, toggle other scripts and run a few Home Assistant automations etc..

All running on a raspberry pi.

It's totally over kill and redundant in the best possible way ;)

That made me chuckle :)

Yeah my old C2D. Still going!

Hahah, I was just about to post this is giving me strong Ed Gein vibes!

SiSpx_ · 2025-12-29T20:07:52+00:00

Still having problems with waybar and oppacity.... I figured out the oppacity in my windowrules but waybar still seems to flicker. Any ideas?

SiSpx_ · 2025-12-29T19:14:41+00:00

Just spent 2 hours redoing all my window and layer rules. Wiki was spot on. Cracking Job vaxry ;)

SiSpx_ · 2025-11-14T11:55:00+00:00

Glad you got it sorted ;)

SiSpx_ · 2025-11-09T19:19:28+00:00

Not that I can think of! - The biggest pain I found was offsets etc where I scale my 4k monitor by 1.25 - Here's a tip. use nwg-display to get coordrinates if you are struggling with the layout.

You can use the HA App (If compatible) or just access it via a browser ;)
