Run your own vaultwarden, you get to use all the bitwarden things for free. With rumours of enshitification coming let the people who do not do the self hosting pay for the development. If I had the money to donate I would have stopped the moment I heard the enshitification rumours.

I only pay for two .ca domain names, I originally was not self hosting when I got the first one so it is rather expensive as I use a different email address for every service/site I sign up for. I get next to no spam. The next domain I have as a test domain, I will be using it to test out things before I commit to them being on my main domain.

The first domain is something expensive, as they are currently doing all the hosting, the second one was something like $11 or $12. Once I get my test setup running I will move my main one over to my self hosted system.

I have a pi 4 running HAOS, I have an 8 gb pi 5 running a bunch of services, with head room to spare. I have a pi 5 with 4gb ram running Jellyfin with headroom to spare. Both pi 5’s are also running pihole.

I also have a pi 5 with 2gb that will hopefully handle my personal blog and email, hopefully! I have a pi 5 with 1 gb showing up on Thursday that will run my OpenWRT and LuCI. I had a pi zero 2 that handled wireguard but it could only handle it for DNS, with OpenWRT on a pi 5 I will be able to do more than just DNS over wireguard.

I personally have a handful of pi’s doing things, with plans to get more to do more (I have one in the mail to become my OpenWRT router). I was thinking of getting something simple to be able to do STT and TTS as I want to replace my HomePods as I slowly leave Apple and have have no interest in joining Amazon or Google for home automation, so I looked at my university’s used computers. I am not really a fan of buying some random persons old hardware but maybe a business is selling their old stuff.

I started my Home lab adventure with a pi 4, still have it sure it has gone through many different OS’s and has been used for several different things and worn several different hats but it is still working. I think it has found its forever place in my home lab as a HAOS server with the POE hat booted off of a USB drive.

The only working things in my home lab that are not pi’s are: my printer, my wifi router, and the ISP modem. I have finally got around to ordering another pi 5 to act as my firewall so that modem will be switched to pass through. When I get that setup I will have a pi zero 2 to retire as my wireguard host.

I have 2 pi 5’s running pihole, one of them runs a bunch of other services while the other runs my arr stack and Jellyfin. I have a pi 5 that will host my domains, and hopefully email server(s).

I have plans to get another to replace my AppleTV as the media server in the not to distant future. I had plans to use one to act as an audio amp in my home theatre set up, I may look at that again.

Who knows just for shits and giggles I may find some way to turn a pi into a wifi router with VLANS and a bunch of wifi APs.

My ISP does not have a data cap or anything like that so I pay no attention to that. What are you doing that you only use that much?

I heard that it was going 10x 🤪. My suggestion get a pihole and don’t pay the, checks calculation $0.00, plus you get ad blocking on a lot of the web.

I am relatively new to the whole paperless thing but I have a couple of email addresses that it watches, one that saves the email as the document and one that saves the attachments. My pi 5 has no problem scanning documents that I can then send to one of my paperless emails. I can also forward emails I want saved to the other paperless email. I am still going into the web ui to make sure things are tagged right, but paperless is awesome it does OCR and it fixes files that were scanned at a bit of an angle.

I am trying to work through a system that prints documents according to events on my calendar, with HA.

Did something to import all my photos to nextcloud, sorry do not remember what I did but was unhappy with how my devices were not syncing that fast. Then I found immich and just put them there, still not as fast as Apple photos but faster than nextcloud.

I use Jellyfin on my phone and just do the screen share to my AppleTV.

I am unfamiliar with Ente, as I use immich to replace my apple photos and it runs great on a pi 5. I only have the stuff backed up locally in a few different places and some of my things on my phone like passwords and pictures. I want to get a pi 4 to act as an offsite place to back up my stuff. My homelab runs off of 4 or 5 different pi’s, I have pretty much degoogled my life, I want to de-apple myself as well.

I do not think late stage capitalism was one of the endings, so I second the fun disasters.

I am waiting on your apology or rebuttal!

🤣

Plex may also be harvesting your data.

You mean to say “Plex is harvesting your data.”

it just means the costs to you are less visible, you are still the product you have paid to pretend that you are not the product.

Yes the whole poop load of them would be great to get, I have so many projects I would like to do with them.

I had a pi 5 that I was going to use as my set top box and install the media centre OS on it, Jeff Geerling shows how you can do it with a pi 5, but it got damaged when my place flooded and insurance does its thing to screw you over and I never got around to testing it.

I run nextcloud and a few other things comfortably on a pi 5 Not sure how much ram it has I think maybe 4?

I have my own domains, but I do not use them for Jellyfin. I use Jellyfin on my lan or over my personal VPN.
