My services are quite small (static website, forgejo and a couple more services) but see no performance issues.

Largest thing for me would be Netflix, if that’s at least kept its probably another task to chalk up for me.
From memory lots of streaming services have reduced functionality when running custom roms on phones; but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve done such.


Running 50 on one machine, four on my fileserver and another on a hacked up hp eliteone (no screen) which runs my 3d printer. Believe my immich container is a nspawn under nixos too.
Some are a wip but the majority are in use. Mostly internal services with a couple internet facing, I’ve got a good backlog of work to do on some with some refactoring my nixos configs for many too 😅.
From my Erying ES system:



Not your traditional TVs but look and see if you can get some TVs aimed at venues / advertising. I can see an LG IPS display, 98 inch for sub 10k AUD including shipping (98UM5J-B).
Phillips, LG, Samsung and others offer commercial panels without the rubbish that consumer panels are infected with these days.


Yeah the LEDs were always handy to have, and the coloured notifications on the trackball (nexus 1) with a third party app was super cool at the time. My trackball after a few years got pretty dirty and didn’t want to clean with chemicals in fear of damaging it.
Currently using a Nothing (3) which is somewhat similar with the small led display on the back.


Nexus one had the trackball, the hero had a sensor or did both? IDK it’s been some years since I still had my nexus one. Maybe I’m thinking of the HTC Desire with the sensor.
I do remember running the original version(s) of MIUI on my nexus one, ahh simpler times.
Or Grayjay, I found NewPipe / other frontends had their fair share of issues while I was using them. Their desktop app however I’ve not used as it was failing to build on my NixOS machines.


“From the ID 2all onwards, we will have physical buttons for the five most important functions – the volume, the heating on each side of the car, the fans and the hazard light – below the screen,”
Climate controls are one but sure, five most important functions. Honestly rip out the touch screen, implement buttons just as they had been previously then add the display; preferably with a decent HID as Mazda have done.
I’m still driving a mk6 golf and really can’t imagine not having easy access to those features.


Missed the self hosted install:

Might investigate this further as I’ve wanted to move passwords to another solution and leave passkeys / 2fa via KeePass.


All their smart lights are tuya, or at least the ones that I have. The esp are swappable but are soldered to the boards and their a pain to open but can be done.
I purchased some of their downlughts to add another project to the pile and to feed my curiosity.


I’d dare say the easier method, from memory the p6 should have a charge limit in the stock firmware.
I’ve not an old Samsung s10+ kicking around with corrupted firmware, should really take a look at it and see if it can be up and running again. Not that I need more cores, ram, cameras or any additions to my equipment but just because.
It fassinates me that consumer hardware, and low power at that goes wasted so often. So many small form factor devices such as phones, with built in ups aren’t being leveraged. But I guess that comes down to proprietary binary blobs and developer work on a per device basis.
I might have to investigate what platforms mobile nixos supports and see if it’s cheap enough to dabble with.


Several minute delay? Have you considered running Frigate for your detections?


Always about moving quantity. People may grab just one unit at 50% off vs every purchase is required to buy two units minimum.


Depends on network load, power is cheapish for me right now but much better than peak. During the day around 11am onwards energy is dirt cheap, and sometimes (rarely) dips into the negatives.

Provider offers wholesale rates plus a flat fee. There are some protections in place to shield consumers from massive bills when the rate jumps to $$/KWh
Yeah have been meaning to pick a few up but it’s not been a top priority. Not really a developer more just a user that dabbles too much with a homelab while trying to be privacy & security conscious.
The cost alone is a bit of a hurdle with money going to life / house currently and another purchase of some silly computer thing will trigger her.
Same thing as any file full of credentials.
I didn’t know about the ability to use more than one passkey per platform. Something I’ll have to investigate further.
My passkeys are stored in keypass, which I share between multiple devices. Phone, home servers, desktop pc and a flashdrive that stays in my car.
Obviously the flash drive needs to be manually updated but the other devices use syncthing to keep everything up to date.
I get there are some people that have concerns over such a configuration but I’m happy bopping away knowing that if my phone dies, I’ve still got access to accounts / can easily be back up and running on a fresh device.


So vibe coding?
I’ve tried using llm for a couple of tasks before I gave up on the jargon outputs and nonsense loops that they kept feeding me.
I’m no coder / programmer but for the simple tasks / things I needed I took inspo from others, understood how the scripts worked, added comments to my own scripts showing my understanding and explaining what it’s doing.
I’ve written honestly so much, just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks (works). I have fleshed out a method for using base16 colour schemes to modify other GTK* themes so everything in my OS matches. I have declarative containers, IP addresses, secrets, containers and so much more. Thanks to the folks who created nix-colors, I should really contribute to that repo.
I still feel like a noob when it comes to Linux however seeing my progress in ~ 1y is massive.
I managed to get a working google coral after everyone else’s scripts (that I could find on Github) had quit working (NixOS). I’ve since ditched that module as the upkeep required isn’t worth a few ms in detection speeds.
I don’t believe any of my configs would be where they are if I’d asked a llm to slap it together for me. I’d have none of the understanding of how things work.
You can play it on the original Xbox, there was a leak maybe 2020 of a prerelease / wip.
I should grab some screencaptures of the ingame, but I’m sure there are plenty out there.
