Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm too lazy to take pictures, but I have a synology sitting in an Ikea Kalix and an older laptop mounted to the other side of the wall (that the kalix is against), which is a bathroom in my garage.

We had contractors working last summer and let them use the garage bathroom. After the 3rd day I overheard a few of them developing conspiracy theories for why we have a closed laptop mounted to the wall and with fans that would occasionally cycle up.

Haha i have a raspberrypizero screwed to a wall in the garage that turns my regular doorbell into a smart doorbell through a relay I plugged into the GPIO, plugged into a numpad to arm/disarm cameras, and into a little camera that takes a picture when a wrong code is entered, ran by a little python script I wrote. I've heard very similar comments lol.

What are the two circular grey devices on top of the five port switch?

Is that an EliteDesk 800 G3, G4, or G5?

[–] northernlights@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

800G3 it is. Not that it matters much, it's more than a few users on a semi busy homelab need.

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 1 points 2 days ago

I only ask because I work in a HP environment and run off a G3 sff myself.
