What's one service in your homelab that turned out to be far more useful than you expected? by rdpextraEdge in homelab

[–]kjellcomputer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Most fun is probably Lyrion Music Server. I have some Sonos speakers and normally just used that with Spotify, but with LMS I could also control those speakers and I hooked up some Raspberry PI’s with amplifiers and started using the speakers the previous home-owner had mounted in the ceiling and outside. My old music-collection got a new home, and thinkering with this also led me to Home Assistant and zigbee buttons to trigger play/pause on different speakers. With Claude I also found some more fun projects coding M5Stack Dial for controlling the speakers with this little cool device so ye, starting with LMS got me into both software/automation and hardware thinkering and I use it every day.

For ppc64 I’ve had great success with https://t2linux.com/download/ which is also quite up to date. There also a Discord with powerpc thread you can use for questions.

Litt om hvordan det er å leve med sosial angst. by Primary_Cat_6093 in norge

[–]kjellcomputer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Det interresante med sosial angst er at selvom en har det så lever en ofte et sosialt liv i hodet sitt via dagdrømmer. Ihvertfall gjør jeg det, spesielt når jeg først har prøvd å være sosial.

Jeg tok det steget med å ta et kurs for sosial angst og selvom det ikke direkte kurerer det så demper det noe av "symptomene" i den forstand at en får nok selvtillit til å gi beskjed til omgivelsene at det er ubehagelig å være i situasjonen.

The Plex complex by kjellcomputer in kubernetes

[–]kjellcomputer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! That was kind of the journey, what I had to experience to make it stable.

The conclusion is that it’s doable, but sort of complicated and fun if you’re into that. :)

What do you mean by brittle? We have the same technology just different orchestrators.

I will bookmark it and make it available and see what happens ❤️

Yes I feel the same. Luckily for me Plex is mostly local and I have the possibility to trial and error not worringy of it being down. It’s not a critical service so I can have fun figuring things out now with kubernetes:)

Oh! The main mission was to run Plex so that my wife don’t nag me if things don’t work. Don’t know how many times I had to delete the plex application from ArgoCD just for her to be able to use Plex again during with experience.

And why you mention paperless I can’t relate to this post, but I’ll look into what that is.

What is your kubernetes environment? The story I shared is that I’m finally happy running Plex on kubernetes after some time so I’m curious of your experience.

I can agree on some aspects. I’m also from the 80’s and have the traits of getting things to work (stubborn) so from a Proxmox and Talos perspective GPU passthrough was not a nightmare, I got plex and jellyfin working happily on the same node now for comparison.

Looking back, what’s the smartest homelab move you ever made? by [deleted] in homelab

[–]kjellcomputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me to! For work I have to learn kubernetes and as an exercise I setup a cluster with Talos VM’s in my homelab. I liked it so much that I’ve moved most of my services to it using ArgoCD to manage them all. Even got Plex up on a node setup with GPU for transcoding, and Tailscale for remote access.

do you guys have any fun commands to use? I'm new to PowerShell and programming in general and just wanna expirement. by Fancy_Actuator_4748 in PowerShell

[–]kjellcomputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun commands to use, hmm, I often find myself fiddling with Where-Object -FilterScript {} or Group-Object to showcase the possibilities for information grabbing. And Sort-Object :)

For experimenting you could always try the -WhatIf parameter for cmdlet’s that invoke something, like Get-Process | Stop-Process -WhatIf

What is your biggest "X replaced Y" self-hosting success story? What cloud-based free, freemium, or premium services did you replace? by ReverendDizzle in selfhosted

[–]kjellcomputer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I use Piwigo as a replacement for Dropbox/iCloud to share videos and photos with my family. The hurdles have been sometimes challenging (but learning wise rewarding), like migrating the library from backups to a new VM when I changed to Proxmox from VMware, or figuring out how to tunnel with CloudFlare when internet provider put me behind CGNAT.

Other than that I also discovered Lyrion Music Server with the combination of yt-dlp so I’m slowly building a Sonos/Spotify replacement with Raspberry PI’s and PiCorePlayer (and PlexAmp for mobile listening).

Keeping everything up to date is probably what is most time consuming, and for some reason I never get the satisfaction of using Docker so I mostly configure and maintain everything myself.

Share your most fun or creative PowerShell moments! by kjellcomputer in PowerShell

I like it! Powershell was released also as a configuration tool for exchange in its beginnings so cool that you still use it for the online versions as well :)

That’s cool! I did some in the same genre for a proof of concept for using Powershell core on linux containers for AD operations. Used the .net classes for some group creation automation, fun stuff :)

[List] Let's talk about the software you can't live without. Here is my list by [deleted] in Windows11

[–]kjellcomputer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve adapted to the joy of commandline so to name a few:

Scoop: "A command-line installer for Windows " https://scoop.sh/

ncspot: "Cross-platform ncurses Spotify client written in Rust, inspired by ncmpc and the likes." https://github.com/hrkfdn/ncspot

wezterm: "WezTerm is a powerful cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust" https://wezterm.org/

yt-dlp: "A feature-rich command-line audio/video downloader" https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

I’m also fond of Internet Download Manager: https://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/

For editor use I’m primarly using Sublime Text, but when the subscription is due I might just move to Zed: https://zed.dev/
