+1 for Minetest both client and server too; we run one locally for the kiddos :)

I’m currently wearing a continuous glucose monitor. Does that count? I’m all for anything voluntary especially if it improves quality of life without impeding on others.

Yep, this is what I’ve started doing and actually works better for my work flow as I use Wireguard for work related tasks as well.

Here’s a 60-day free trial to tinker with as well: https://www.linode.com/tux

I’m currently self hosting:

• Jellyfin: TV shows for kiddos
• Minetest: gaming with kiddos
• Supertuxkart: more gaming with kiddos
• Pi-hole: DNS with several filters
• Tiny Tiny RSS: feed reader
• Nextcloud: phone sync and project management
• Gitea: code tracking and version control
• JSketcher: CAD drawing
• Stable Diffusion: AI art

The last two are local-network only and the most recent additions; still just tinkering with them at this point.

My favorite of the list is probably TT-RSS which I use for podcasts and to keep tabs on a few sub-reddits I had participated in before moving to Lemmy.

Thanks; quite a few have recommended this one which is nice to see

Fantastic; thank you :)

Very cool design; how well do they stay put on the desk? My last split keyboard would nudge slowly during use and had to be moved back which I found annoying.

The Advantage 2 looks pretty good; bit pricey though I expected as much. Thank you!

yt-dl for videos

Or the fork yt-dlp

Nice!

I had to do similar with mine but threw together some scrap lumber to build up around our printer:

We’ve had an LTE modem for a long while which is quite expensive but no data cap. Just recently added T-mobile’s 5G Lite modem which while much faster does have a cap. So added a pfSense firewall and setup a failover WAN rule to give the work computer 5G during business hours.

+1 for DDG

And thank you for reminding about bangs

My longest running self-host is the RSS reader Tiny Tiny RSS running on a Digital Ocean droplet with Ubuntu 22.04

I was searching for Reddit alternatives and found a rather long list that included which were open source, federated, had apps, etc. and that’s where I first heard about Lemmy. As I was browsing the different sites I found additional people talking about Lemmy specifically and that got me to research further and eventually join.

Mostly board games; taught couple of our older boys Scythe and then got in several rounds of Turing Machine.

Recently started Homeworld Mobile on phone and liking it so far.

Also planning to tinker with merging Color My Quest (ttrpg) with Wallet Dungeons to play with our younger kiddos.
