  • 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:






  • “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.




  • 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.





  • 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.




  • 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.
