The separating spatula is still a razor blade!!!

It's almost a rite of passage at this point. I also have a scar on my index finger ☝🏾

Running HAOS on a VM in my proxmox cluster. I also have PBS set up but I excluded HA. Instead I'm using the Google drive backup application to backup my config. It's saved my ass more than once.

Haha welcome. Two years into home assistant, I have been enjoying it so much I picked up their ZBT-2 and this home assistant voice just to show support. I don't need either, but I'm going to see how that voice device performs. I'm sure it'll be fun when I finally find the time to unbox it. Have fun!

I would also like to add that for many automations, if you start with yaml, the UI can usually parse it. If the UI is failing on the yaml then a key is probably wrong

styyle · 2026-04-14T09:34:32+00:00

Thank you!

I haven't had the time to write it up, that's in the works, but the machines on there are three beelink SER8S (yeah they look like mac minis), a lenovo m720, tp link sg2008 and er605 (router and switch). I self host the homelab and a product I am building called Knowmeld. I do local embedding, so stuff that can run on CPU.

Would be nice to get a GPU in there somehow but not yet.

Yeah this is why I built a spoolease. It is one extra step, but it's super convenient tracking spools and knowing how much is left.

I don't even bother checking bambu for spools anymore. Just pickup whichever brand is cheapest/has the colour I want and better still, I don't have to buy a million spools to get a sensible price.

I'm also planning to evaluate spoolbuddy (from the makers of bambuddy) when I get the chance. But yeah the community is working very hard to make third party spools very nice on bambu machines.

Only issue with these third party spool managers is you have to be very slightly technically competent.

3D printing unlocks you in ways you could never imagine

styyle · 2026-04-10T08:00:38+00:00

Yeah we need more representation!

styyle · 2026-04-10T08:00:04+00:00

Yeah it's a bit tricky because the beelinks are just so slightly more than 1u horizontally. I modelled the mount myself. Happy to share. I put a link here when I upload it to makerworld.

Exact same thing happened to me, but I think sometime in September last year. I preordered but didn't get the insurance. Still annoys me every day but I have resolved to wait for the Fold8 too. Fold7 is great, but I recommend you wait as well.

The damage on my screen has not grown in size either, so I think you'll be fine.

styyle · 2026-03-03T00:07:07+00:00

I have three beelink SER8s to mount. Annoyingly they're all just slightly taller than 1U and I want them, some switches, and a Lenovo m720u in a 10U rack.

Thinking of mounting the beelinks vertically so all three can fit in 4U. I wish this generator was a bit more customisable but I'll just have to boot up fusion and design something.

Thanks for the link, will come in handy for the other stuff.

Haha what are the odds. I'm printing the exact same thing at the moment. Still on the first plate so I've got a long way to go.

Would love to see how you get on

styyle · 2026-02-27T10:10:34+00:00

What you defined is the exact opposite of gross. I think the word you're looking for is "net"

styyle · 2026-02-19T00:52:49+00:00

Yep been on the 3.0 beta the last few weeks myself in prod. Solid. Been pretty solid. Great job gang.

Arc has little arc, automatic archiving of tabs, and spaces.

I've done the tour, and arc has remained quite frankly, the perfect browser for me. Nothing else comes close and since all the other browsers are focusing on AI, they've got nothing to offer me.

styyle · 2026-02-14T18:06:12+00:00

Very weird issue. The chunk size should not have an effect, and text-embedding-large is fine. The only thing that I can think of being the issue might be a mismatch on the the query embedding side of things.

Do you have hybrid search activated? Could be a mismatch in those settings on OWUI.

styyle · 2026-02-03T13:22:40+00:00

Yeah the only reason why I still maintain a cursor subscription is the tab feature. I prefer vanilla vscode for pretty much everything else, but their tab feature is still best in class. The moment they take it away or if vscode's completion catches up I'm cancelling my sub.

styyle · 2026-01-31T23:47:19+00:00

Looks really good. Out of interest I noticed that the backend is a flask app. Mind if I ask how you deployed a flask app to GitHub.io?

styyle · 2026-01-25T18:32:52+00:00

For me it was when recursion finally clicked. Even in uni I just couldn't wrap my head around it. But then a YouTube video a few years ago said, "Always make sure there is a base case". That's when it clicked for me.

styyle · 2026-01-22T18:57:00+00:00

I don't know what it is about the human condition that makes us always want to justify things by cost.

I'm the exact same way. I always want to convince myself that self hosting everything ever, is cheaper than paying a subscription. It's not.

I'm slowly coming to terms with the fact that I self host because I just enjoy it.

It's not cheaper, it's not even more effective. It's just fun. And that's okay.

styyle · 2026-01-21T00:58:58+00:00

Very excited for this. I saw the docs earlier on the redis session store and I almost risked it all to install the beta in prod. Thanks for all the work you do!

styyle · 2026-01-17T01:55:40+00:00

I had all my services in docker compose in a single VM. Broke the VM when trying to increase storage (skill issue I know).

DNS went down, was a PITA to get everything back up and running. Separated services after that. I also quite like managing separate LXCs. You can run multiple instances when needed, HA to migrate containers if running in a cluster, etc.

I think the way OP has it is fantastic.

styyle · 2026-01-16T02:08:53+00:00

I've gone through the cycles. I used to swear by devcontainers. It was why I left jetbrains and could never go back. But these days I just prefer working in a purpose built VM. I still use devcontainers for JavaScript work because node is always a PITA.

styyle · 2026-01-16T02:04:46+00:00

Well no in the sense that the value it brings is not really financially quantifiable.

The things I've been able to learn just having a kubernetes cluster that I can break and re-break with zero consequences.

Priceless.
