justforfunMy five year old drew this and now I no longer have an excuse to not have a profile pic here :)…maybe I should commission my oldest to write up my bio 😅

justforfunHey fedi <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HomeLab</a> peeps, what do you all make of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Protectli" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Protectli</a> appliances. Looking to add a hardware <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/firewall" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#firewall</a> running <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenSense" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OpenSense</a>, but they have so many configurations. Budget ~$250 at some points would be running non-stop as home office production firewall.

justforfunThank you! <a href="https://mastodon.online/@jellyfin" class="u-url mention">@jellyfin</a> for the collections and playlist features, not sure when this was implemented, but now we can have <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/StarTrekDS9" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#StarTrekDS9</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/FerengiFest" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FerengiFest</a> or KlingonFest or best of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Babylon5" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Babylon5</a>. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#selfhosted</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SelfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SelfHosting</a>

justforfunSuper excited that Bookshop.org is now selling <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ebooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ebooks</a> and profits are benefiting local bookshops. Even more excited about this gem burried in the last part of this FAQ:“Due to Amazon's proprietary digital rights management software (DRM) and publishers' DRM requirements, it’s not currently possible to buy ebooks from Bookshop.org or local bookstores and read them on your Kindle. We are working with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Kobo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Kobo</a> to support Kobo devices later this year.”

justforfunI don’t know how <a href="https://www.changetechnically.fyi/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.changetechnically.fyi/</a> made it to my timeline here, but it is an absolute gem of a podcast and I can’t recommend it enough! I’ve now listened to some episodes twice 😊. <a href="https://mastodon.social/@grimalkina" class="u-url mention">@grimalkina</a> and company thank you all so much. What I also appreciate is that it is perfectly appropriate for younger audiences without having to bleep anything. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#OpenScience</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/followAnyDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#followAnyDay</a>

This is a new seller to me: <a href="https://coffeeaddicts.us" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://coffeeaddicts.us</a>I know I could have ordered directly from Cafelat.co.uk, but it would be way too much with international shipping. If you’re in U.S. or Canada and desperately need one of these pins DM me and I can send you one. Free, just consider making a small donation to your fedi instance/server.

justforfunHello <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#diy</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/diy_electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#diy_electronics</a> peeps that work with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/LED" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LED</a> panels or small matrix boards. I am looking for a simple but capable LED and microprocessor kit to introduce k-6 kiddos to electronics and have a fun device in a classroom. Any advice? <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#foss</a>

justforfunI know this is probably a rather ambitious 1st time electronics project for me and my kiddo, we have so far only done the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RaspberryPi</a> advent calendar a few years ago, but this is what I’m looking to do. A micro controller w/ 2 sets of humidity and temp sensor that will be placed in a small terrarium. No need for display initially, but need to log measurements at user specified intervals & push to file or db. Can provide more details if needed. Thoughts? <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#diy</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#electronics</a> tagging <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@drfootleg" class="u-url mention">@drfootleg</a>

Does any body have any experience or thoughts on using these airflow plates from AC Infinity? amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B075VFFMFL/… If you can recommend a soirce other than Amazon that would be great. Reposting publicly:)

justforfunLooks like I’ll be signing up for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/bugzilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#bugzilla</a>, I was able to search through their reports and found this has been reported as recently as this May, but not reproduced. Once again, thank you <a href="https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird" class="u-url mention">@thunderbird</a> and a shoutout to <a href="https://layer8.space/@killyourfm" class="u-url mention">@killyourfm</a> who’s recent work and efforts on their marketing team got me to reinstall and make it my default client once again.

justforfunI do feel like there should be some kind UI prompt to let people know that this may be a required step. This issues goes back over 3 years, I'll have to check if it's considered a bug, perhaps this could be my first FOSS contribution. You are welcome to point out that I shouldn't be using gmail and I make every attempt in my personal life, but G-suite is practically inescapable if you are in the U.S. education system and most of the organizations I work with.

justforfunI really appreciate <a href="https://mastodon.online/@thunderbird" class="u-url mention">@thunderbird</a> and all who make it possible, thank you. This post is to help others that may run into issue when adding new email accounts which use OAuth2. I couldn't add a gmail account until I temporarily allowed <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Thunderbird</a> to accept cookies, once the account is added, disallowed cookies in the settings.

justforfunComments, tips welcome from the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HomeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HomeLab</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#foss</a> , <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#diy</a> folks and all. I saw this cabinet at my local <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/thrift" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#thrift</a> store, thinking of converting it into a data cabinet. Will need to add ventilation, but it’s solid, cheap & has a lock (need to keep junior engineers out). I don’t have much hardware yet, but will eventually add 24 port switch, a NAS. For now plenty of room for a pair of <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/optiplex" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#optiplex</a> es and MacMinis. Still deciding on protectli w/ <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/opensense" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#opensense</a> or <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/pfSense" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pfSense</a> appliance Thanks all 😊.
