  • I appreciate the feedback. I figured out how to fit 5 on a 6x6 sticker. So that's five stickers for $12. I can also fit 4x that on a big sheet, so it'll be 20 stickers for $25. I just need to find a group of 20. The downside is that Etsy doesn't do volume discounts, I have to build the multipack myself. I'm also trying to figure out how free shipping works to take that off larger orders.

  • I made my own laptop stickers and I think they're beautiful

  • Stickers are removable. I don't remember the issue I had with Firefox that made me switch. LibreWolf gave me too many issues after a year of trying to acclimate. What do you suggest? I'm also looking for something totally self hostable and browser based as Trillium but as well supported as Obsidian.

  • Anyone refuse to stack their stickers? Hexagons to the rescue.

  • I was disappointed when they got rid of the light up Apple but it sure makes it easier to hide.

  • You're not wrong that modern advertising works like that. In my case I haven't shown these anywhere and just got my first batch in yesterday and was so happy with them I wanted people who would actually appreciate the comment to see. No links. No cart. Just "I'm proud of this". If someone went and bought some hex stickers from RedBubble after seeing this, good. If they found mine, good on them for tracking them down. On the FOSS chain of thought, I think, at least for the FOSS stickers, these should be on GitHub or a self hosted web server as whatever creative commons means don't sell my files/prints. That would take a day to spin up and might let people print them themselves if they're so inclined.

  • No, but I refuse to pay my VPS for GPU time so I self host Gemma3:27B with RAG on Ollama over tailnet to make a choose your own adventure medical protocol simulator. I'm sure Claude could give me some context breathing room but not at those token prices. I did see something on pointing Claude Code to your own Ollama server and that would maybe justify the self hosted butthole.

  • I'm proud that I got enough users to justify moving that server out of my closet. You think I should replace it with ceph?

  • That butthole is Anthropic's logo, so you had the AI part right.

  • Yes. I'm trying to not go deep in the shop side, hence no links.

  • I got them from Etsy. They all came with borders so I had to 3D print a jig to get the cuts right with a razor knife. They're still a little wobbly but they're good enough.

  • I did self host a steamcache years back but no, its one of the few "normie" stickers but few people I know that would even recognize that. I also don't self host the Zigbee protocol, and I gave up OPNsense for Ubitquiti 2 years ago so no, that's not self hosted either. I only have one laptop so my hobbies have to coexist on it.

  • I went through a few print providers and found Printify's default sticker printer to be really good. Much better quality than I had been getting out of the Redbubble or Teepublic printing. And yes, each logo is actually a composite of 24 triangles that makes a mosaic that resembles the logo. It was fun to make them and then squint and be like, yeah, that does look like the Debian swirl. After I finished my laptop I kept making new ones and put them up for sale. If there's any project you think I should do next, let me know.

  • I wish it was that sophisticated. I 3D printed a stencil or jig to line up the edges and use a razor knife on my kitchen cutting board. It works well enough.

    I did originally consider national parks or cities. I came up with it on vacation and saw some cities have their own distinctive stickers. The problem I ran into was details are hard to resolve with the art style I'm using. Words are even worse. I did a series with US states before this. I might have to revisit this when I'm tired of hex FOSS.

  • First one to count all the ceiling spots wins!

    Jump

  • I use Hue tuneable or RGB bulbs recessed in the ceiling and they're great. With their switches and a little setup it will turn on the lights to the appropriate brightness and color temperature depending on the time of day. They dim to nearly nothing up to daylight. You just need good bulbs or drivers.

  • What's up, selfhosters? - Sunday thread

    Jump

  • Scripting enlarging 2400 10x10 png files to 512x512 Stable Diffusion generated images that look like high resolution cityscapes in the style of Salvador Dali. I can't get the API to spit out a single image.

  • What do you use for notes?

    Jump

  • Trillium. It works well via browser and reasonably on a mobile browser.

    Obsidian is excellent but I can't install any applications on my work computer and the web hosted version was buggy and slow. If I didn't have IT blocking me I'd be using Obsidian again.

  • Looking for an orders and stuff tracking software to self host

    Jump

  • Shop.com has a great service that combs through my email and tracks everything I've ordered and when it's coming. It even has access to my Amazon account directly since their tracking isn't in the email. You'd need a service that can do that without selling your entire purchase history to anyone who's interested. Good luck.

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?

    Jump

  • Get VLANs working, proper IOT network isolation, and Nextcloud as my primary document storage. If that first one didn't bring down my homelab entry time I try I'd be more inclined.

  • how much power does your system need?

    Jump

  • 80-100 watts at idle which is most of the time. Two OS drives, two fast drives, two spinners, lots of networking and always syncing with the rest of the cluster.
