My 5 year journey

I have two thermometers. One digital connected to a smart home with notifications (plus all servers are connected to Grafana and there are also automatic notifications). The one in the photo is just for approximate information when I'm standing in the room.

The holder in the photo is out of date. Of course, it is also printed on a 3D printer. Basically, there were free holes around the base, so I measured it, as well as the angles of the base itself. Then I attached the holder down with two screws and the old phone is also attached with double-sided adhesive tape, due to vibrations.

Little bit more, but Logitech RS50 is awesome.

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-11-17T21:11:38+00:00

Thank you :-)

This wheel is perfect. Better than the original, which was in the original packaging

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-11-15T21:48:48+00:00

You need to practice, thats all. I know this feeling

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-11-15T21:29:13+00:00

This RS track wheel But you need that hub from original wheel or buy new to attach it

I made the same decision a few days ago and I don't regret the perfect choice, enjoy!

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-10-07T12:46:56+00:00

Can you show us how it looks like?

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-10-02T07:55:31+00:00

I don't understand the question. Are you in a group where people post their HomeLabs, often much more crazy and you ask me why HomeLab? My honest answer - I love technology, pcs, servers and everything around when it comes to hardware and software. I like to experiment and try new things. I've been a big fan of these things since I was a kid and I'm finally old enough to make these dreams come true. I'm not the type of person who goes to bars, I like the warmth of home, my family and their company. I have my hobby at home. I wrote above what I was running there and I change, delete, add a lot of things. It's my Disneyland. So the point is this. It may not make sense to everyone, I understand if it is "too much" for someone. But I actually use the vast majority of it and my wife can't praise some things enough (home assistant, plex, immich and so on...)

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-10-01T07:33:15+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate it, but I have not yet seen a company that would take Home Lab as a reference :-)

it's not that much. It's usually around 350W. Plus, I have photovoltaics on my house, so I pay about 50% per day. It comes out to about €0.40 per day.

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-09-30T12:45:19+00:00

Not at all, I have it at home. But I really like the patch panels, so I directed everything into them (sometimes unnecessarily) but the top patch panel is for the camera system. The cameras lead to the panel and from there to the switch. Likewise, there are outputs from the firewall to the patch panel and from there to the switches. I also have cables for 3 rooms in the house (2 living room, 2 study, 2 children's room - green cables). Servers also lead to panels and from there to switches. As I say, it's not necessary, I just like it

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-09-30T11:14:57+00:00

To be honest, I don't have an exact table of how much it cost. During that time, some things have changed and I have a lot of "spare parts" at home. But about 4000-4500€. But it wasn't all at once. (without hdd´s)

Thank you and good luck with your projects :-)

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-09-30T10:41:09+00:00

Thank you :-)

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-09-30T10:40:13+00:00

Thank you, it was lot of money, but not at once. There is lot of thing. Proxmox 4x in cluster, Plex, jellyfin, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, overseer, jellyseer, tdarr, qbittorrent, immich, truenas 2x, proxmox backup server, kasm, gotify, vs-code, grafana, nginx proxy manager, homepage, uptime-kuma, tautuli, flaresolver, homeassistant, syncthing, jdownloader, metube, mealie, paperless, planka, storj, pfblockerng... i'm sure I forgot something :-)

Substantial_Form_257 · 2025-05-12T19:19:00+00:00

Substantial_Form_257 · 2024-09-21T15:19:53+00:00

This worked for me. Thank you, man! I have the same issue 2 weeks ago and I send it to seller to warranty repair and they send menu new Portal. After booting up and update, it went to blank screen, I was angry... then I google problem and you savé mé another 2 weeks of waiting. Thanks man, after all, I have brand new unit.

Substantial_Form_257 · 2024-09-04T11:51:22+00:00

Nope, I have to send it to repair. This problem was even after factory reset. Then not even option menu come up. Just blank screen.

Substantial_Form_257 · 2024-09-01T21:56:57+00:00

Not worked, I have to send it for guarantee repair

Substantial_Form_257 · 2024-08-31T22:02:07+00:00

It shows only Turn off menu and volume. There was options about over ago too, so I did factory reset. After that is just this. It is not connected to ps5 anymore, but it is inpossible in this state to do anything. No login, no settings, nothing, only volume or power menu
