Sounds like you’re in the UK, if so I’d recommend legit companies run by old nerds like Mythic Beasts: https://www.mythic-beasts.com/domains

Same here. Works great, incredibly cheap too.

I don’t name my servers anything special, but I do name my various Zigbee sensors in Home Assistant after Egyptian gods. Atum-Ra, Tefnut, Shu, etc. I’ve avoided the ones that also coincide with Stargate gods, as I thought that would be too exciting for me.

Shiny is pretty good. You can do interactive sliders to filter date ranges in that, and you control what happens when you slide it in the code. It’s not as slick as grafana though.

One downside is it started off as an R package then got ported to python, so most resources are for R. Fine for me because I know R, but most people don’t.

Here’s the python link: https://shiny.rstudio.com/py/

that’s a really cool idea. would love to see the next version be bigger and longer, though it probably doesn’t scale well with the requirement to manually verify that the calculations have been performed by hand.

Ever since the CS1.6 days I wanted to have a server, but it was only when I got a free Raspberry Pi that I actually started self hosting stuff 24/7. I put OwnCloud on it and a bunch of scripts to track and statistically evaluate my investments, and just took off from there. Like many others, my desire to disconnect and reduce my dependency on “Big Tech” was a big motivator, but so too was “fun” and having things exactly the way I liked.

In the beginning I rolled my own scripts most of the time, but now I tend to use more off the shelf tools as self hosting has gone more and more “mainstream”/accessible and docker has become ubiquitous.

I still do my own scripts tbf, like my DIY smart thermostat/heat pump controller. Ultimately it’s just a lot of fun.

Why is unattended upgrades frowned upon? Seems like I good idea all round to me?

Yeah, I’d search github for django implementations as you might have better luck searching something more specific.

Not OP but that’s really useful to know!

Cheers, that’s not so bad - might give it a shot!

Agreed, I’ve run into lots of problems trying to get reverse proxies set up on paths, which disappear if you use a subdomain. For that reason I stick with subdomains and a wildcard DNS entry.

Monica (personal relationship manage… kinda unused because I’m always too lazy to fill it with data)

I need a personal relationship manager manager to manage my personal relationship manager.

What’s the performance of Frigate like on an N5095? I’ve got a J5105 that I’m tempted to use for a few of my cameras, but worried I’ll be wasting my time.

This looks cool - I like that you can flip between the different view modes (list, gantt, kanban) rather than having to go all in on one (kanban usually).

In my experience the Oracle Always Free ARM A1 instances are really good. There’s nothing I’ve really struggled to run on it personally, but I’ve never opened anything up to the public.

However, as @ppp@lemmy.one said, Oracle tend to remove your instance without warning. You can mitigate this by “upgrading” to a paid account and adding your credit card info. As long as you stay within the free limits you’ll never be charged - but of course it is a risk! And they might still pull the rug anyway…

What happened to the Gulf Stream? I learnt in school that the Gulf Stream kept our temperatures in a nice moderate range. Why did I have to run the central heating for most of May, then 2 weeks later open all the windows and keep the fan on all night? Where has the Gulf Stream gone and how do we get it back?
