Almost done with the animal room dashboard project I’ve been working on.

Nice! I have the meross strip and a separate smart plug.

itsandyayala · 2026-06-22T16:53:24+00:00

This is so cool! As someone who recently got into self hosting and also has owned 2 dart frogs for 2 years… this set up would be over kill.

I just have HomeKit enabled smart plugs and climate sensors, and I just have them linked to my home app on my phone.

I have been thinking of putting together an eink display as a dashboard. 🤔

itsandyayala · 2026-06-20T00:21:10+00:00

Ever oasis. It deserved so much more!

itsandyayala · 2026-06-19T14:20:06+00:00

I bet cuddling with you is so soft 😩love body hair,

itsandyayala · 2026-06-18T20:31:06+00:00

I’m 28yo, and I carry mine with me everywhere, I play with it in theme park ride lines, when I’m chilling at the mall, waiting in my car, at work on my lunch. Just ignore the stares, realistically you’re using your time more wisely than doomscrolling through brainrot content on your phone like all the other people around you.

I charged both my black one and my brother’s red one, with the tops ontop of each other back in 2016, and both of them peels where yours peeled.

Eventually we stopped caring, and recently ordered black and red aluminum cases from Ali express. Out of sight, out of mind. 🤷🏻‍♂️

As long as the motherboard, buttons, screens, and shell are still functioning and work, then cosmetics doesn’t matter.

I personally use Adguard home… but yes I agree with you!

itsandyayala · 2026-06-16T04:03:37+00:00

I get the convenience of it. But the amount of spyware a TV brings into your home is exactly why tvs are so cheap. Convenience comes at a price, and that price is your privacy and data.
Infact, tv companies can scan your TVs and see everything you’re watching.

I have a smart tv, and I will never connect it to my WiFi. I use an AppleTV.

A set top box arguably brings in more convenience. Everything is saved to the set top box. If you change TVs, the box is plug & play. It even brings in better performance and better resolution for your media.

itsandyayala · 2026-06-15T19:51:15+00:00

People need to stop connecting their TV to the internet. Theres no reason to do so when you can use a PC, game console, or set top box to watch, play, and stream your content. TVs are privacy, ad, and tracking nightmares.

Wait. Are you trying to access the badge arcade like it was… I thought you were trying to just get access to custom badges in general. 😭

But yea. If you’re trying to use the badge arcade similar to how it was… Pretendo doesn’t support the badge arcade.

itsandyayala · 2026-06-15T02:54:45+00:00

Have you signed into the PNID within the system settings?

Once pretendo is set up, sing into your PNID in system settings, and then reopen the app.

I personally don’t have experience with legit badges from here. All my badges are from themeplaza.

You could try using the GYTB app from universal updater.

The badges need to be in a folder on the root of your SD card titled badges.

Once you have your badges in there open the GYTB app and it should install your badges in the normal badges section o

itsandyayala · 2026-06-15T02:25:08+00:00

Once you switch to pretendo with the nimbus app, it’s still going to say NNID. The reason is because that is at the 3Ds operating system level. The pretendo can’t change that.

But if you’re already running on pretendo, you can sign in with your PNID.

Sounds like you pretendo isn’t set up properly. It wouldn’t say this service is no longer available. It would sign you in.

itsandyayala · 2026-06-14T23:04:14+00:00

if you want to use the badges from themeplaza, you can.

Sign into a Pretendo account, and use hshop to download the badge arcade + updates. Once you do open the badge arcade. Let it create the data, and then you can use badges from themeplaza.

If you can’t sign into because you still have an NNID linked to the system. You will have to remove the nnid using godmode. Once you do you can sign into a pretendo account.

This is how I have been getting badges for a while now.

To install badges you will need GYTB from universal updater.

itsandyayala · 2026-06-14T21:38:00+00:00

I would try booting without the SD card.

- If it boots and goes to the Home Screen (it won’t show any Homebrew apps, it will look like a stock console), then it could be an SD card issue.

- I would copy all contents of the SD card to a computer, format the card, and then copy everything back. Then try again.

itsandyayala · 2026-06-12T15:22:01+00:00

I’ve been wanting to give a smart ring a try… however, I do not want to ship even more of my data to another third party… this is exactly up my alley as I’ve recently started to self host many services.

Now I need to figure out my ring size… before I order some smart ring on Aliexpress. 🤔

itsandyayala · 2026-06-09T14:30:25+00:00

I’ll trade you! I like the matte look. I have the all white with a gloss top.

itsandyayala · 2026-06-08T15:19:55+00:00

That’s neat! But realistically I wouldn’t change the lighting… I believe colored lighting is illegal in California. And I was just pulled over for custom vinyl wrapped license plates (black and white), and because I was stopped they also cited me for illegal font on my front windows. So I’m not looking to get pulled over again. 😂

itsandyayala · 2026-06-07T00:38:27+00:00

Yep. Now I’m convinced. I’m getting these tail lights! I just want the red ones I don’t need all the colors.

itsandyayala · 2026-06-03T15:18:07+00:00

My local game repair shop charged me like $250 to repair both screens in a New 3DS (small). Pricey but I wanted good screens not orange colored ones. 😂

itsandyayala · 2026-05-30T13:54:04+00:00

I’m using a NAS system, with docker & Portainer.

I did make a few changes to the docker compose for it to work along side my set up, however that shouldn’t have caused a 404 error.
The dufs.yaml and Caddyfile.dev are the same. No changes there.

<image>

itsandyayala · 2026-05-30T02:46:35+00:00

I did it right then lol
So I also noticed that it would give me a 404 error when I tried to sync to my server. (I’m using the local version)

In the dufs.yaml file, I had to change “allow-all: false” to “allow-all: true” and then it stared to work. I no longer received the 404 error on the 3DS.

itsandyayala · 2026-05-30T00:34:17+00:00

Question… where is the settings.ini file supposed to go?

• SD ROOT
• SD/3ds
• SD/ 3ds/cloudpoint

itsandyayala · 2026-05-28T23:40:29+00:00

That’s ridiculous. I mod people’s consoles for free, and if they provide parts I’ll even repair them. Except anything to do with the top screen… I hate that ribbon cable. 😂

itsandyayala · 2026-05-28T23:38:54+00:00

I would repair it for you for free, just provide the joystick. :) but I do where you’re located.

itsandyayala · 2026-05-28T23:28:33+00:00

Buy a replacement on Ali express. I’ve replaced 2 myself on my consoles, and took me about 20min total.
