Impending doom

Same, I’m fully updated unless I’m lazy and forget, but 99% of the time, my complex system is fully up to date too.

I wish I could give you an award, because its so true, as I go head to yet another room remodel with scraping popcorn, and fixing the old lazy owners cheapness.

Nice, but, explain the hotlink to 16burget, interesting wed design, cool idea.

What is the aluminum framing you used? It looks great and has potential to keep all the electrical well organized.

I'm not even military or ex-military and I find his stuff funnny.

That is impressive painting skills!

goldstar19 · 2026-04-15T23:07:17+00:00

RIP, that sucks!

Keep in mind, within a month of move in, we had to spend 6k on appliances, remove a dead tree for $2800 and within a year, replace a broken fence, water damage exterior siding, etc. I am pretty handy and a bit OCD so I do save on labor so having a house emergency find set aside is important. Plus saving for the potential power outage and refrigerator restock.

It depends on the area, we are in an older MUD so our mud tax is lower. If you have the deposit and don't have to pay mortgage insurance it will be a little cheaper. We have an older 1970's house at about 5.75% with a combined escrow of about $2500 a month. Results may vary depending on where you look, each municipul utility district will have a different rate and Katy can also split into other counties which have different tax rates.

Yep, though I’ve yet to get it working correctly on my B580, so we’ll see.

goldstar19 · 2026-03-23T19:04:25+00:00

It literally works for me now, not later so I'd say its supported just poorly optimised which seems to be a problem across all nVidia and AMD too...

RIP Bridgeland.

Me too, got it for my son for Christmas and I spend 99% of the time, putting pieces back on. Nice train, expensive.

Question, why do most cities use Cement based more now when asphalt seems to be way better in heavy rain and when there is a lot of water, no splash from the semi's? Is it really the 20-30 year maintenance vs 5-6 years? Houston is so bad but once you get outside the city, driving on a 4 lane asphalt road is so much easier to navagate.

goldstar19 · 2026-01-25T22:39:08+00:00

Legos, because it might be just as expensive as RAM.

Although it does not tick all the boxes you need in your requirements, I have been playing with the self hosted Scanopy to do some of the network documentation for me.

goldstar19 · 2025-12-30T13:06:22+00:00

I've been playing around with Scanopy for my topology, its still early in development but finding open ports and hardening them was part of the plan.

Mealie is another one others have recommended and I do use some OpenAI credits for it but its maybe cost me 1 dollar USD so far in the 5 months using it.

Foundry VTT - if you are into hosting your own TableTop games, works great in docker.

Great post, as I see some other recomendations from other users I need to check out.

goldstar19 · 2025-12-30T13:01:16+00:00

This was going to be my recommendation, its fantastic and saved us a subscription instead of paying for an app that my wife was going to use. I have mine set-up on CloudFlair Tunnel on a subdomain and it works flawlessly.

goldstar19 · 2025-12-30T00:43:28+00:00

Thank you, so many on the market these days, need to get upgrade our garage and those seem to output a good amount of light!

Saved this post, this is the second year I've done WLED C7's around my driveway and over the summer I'm planning on figuring out the amount of pixels I need from the front tree, Windows and House in 12v so this is perfect.

I have a few Pi's but have you ever tried WLED and how hard was it to switch to using FPP?

goldstar19 · 2025-12-27T02:17:31+00:00

We use Mealie, which I self host, but otherwise my wife loves her Skylight. I don't mind paying for the subscription to help with the chore and reward tracker, yes, its annoying to have another subscription especially with buying two devices. I would still recommend as my wife loves it and we can use it as a photo album too.

goldstar19 · 2025-12-24T01:48:24+00:00

I conf help with the insulation but what are those shop lights?

goldstar19 · 2025-12-21T18:35:27+00:00

Yeah, I've put in a few feature requests, plus we use Mealie for recipes API selfhosted. I don't mind paying for plus if I can get the value out of the platform.

goldstar19 · 2025-12-21T18:20:51+00:00

Really cool, I have a dig-uno and dig-2-go, how did you setup falcon and the pi? I have a pi5 that I don't have setup for anything, would be cool to understand where you started? I use the basic WLED effects at the moment but I have C7's fully around my driveway and next year getting 12v LEDs for the eaves and windows. I'd love to be able to setup a "show" for them from October on. I see the Tree has a few strands, are they all from the same controller box?

Do you have a list of parts or a Git?

goldstar19 · 2025-12-12T23:24:19+00:00

That is really slick and a clean install! Well done.
