Or on their phone.

Most of the time it’s used to help guests get onto the wifi quickly.

I also find it handy to get the wifi password when on-boarding smart devices or whatever new gadget.

 

Hi everyone!

I recently created a user-friendly WiFi portal that runs on my private LAN. The goal was to provide my family with quick access to WiFi information without them needing to ask me for it. After searching for a similar solution and not finding one, I decided to build it myself!

Some of the key features:

  • Login info hidden unless you explicitly click on it.
  • Generates QR code for your use.
  • Mobile and PWA support.
  • Tags to help identify when to use each network.

I'm not a web developer, so I would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how to improve the app. Thanks for your support!

This really is the way.

It goes beyond documentation too - it allows me to migrate to new hosts or to easily automate upgrading the OS release version.

I have a docusaurus site for my homeland and I have ansible and terraform generate files for the docs so I don’t have to record anything. Some of the stuff I note down:

  • DNS leases
  • General infra diagrams
  • IP info
  • Host info

Tailscale has an AppleTV app, just download it and add it to your talent.

You can install it right on the TV, they have a first party app.

AppleTV + Tailscale in and it’s been a flawless experience.

Great! I just tiled a part of my basement (first time doing tiles) because we replace the hot water tank with a tankless.

Since it mounts on the wall I had to remove the old cracked tiles under the tank and put in new ones. It was pretty straightforward but I found wiping the grout to be really messy and not as easy as it seemed in the videos. Using the tile saw as also daunting but I got it done.

I’ve found the writing in the newer games to lack personality in comparison to the old ones (which I find to be very sterile).

I really hope they don’t change it too much, and preserve the personality of the original characters.

Yes as ours are around schools.

Based on the fine rates from GTA - each camera needs to catch 6 people a day to break even (about $120 a ticket).

At first it’ll be a great source of revenue but people will learn and slow down - then the ROI will be questionable…

My parents have a NAS! Maybe I set up Tailscale and send it over there…

Although they live 3 streets away from me so I worry it’s not remote enough in case of flood etc

Honestly, I just run it from the CLI myself.

I’ve wasted too much time fighting with CI and automation that when I migrated to forjego I didn’t bother to put it in again.

You pretty much got it. I need a quick way to restore the repo and ideally have git do a self backup. Seems like a cheap VPS may be the way to go

 

Hi all, I have my home lab set up as a single git repo. I’ve got all infrastructure as opentofu / ansible configs, and using git crypt to protect secret files (tofu state, ansible secret values, etc).

How would you back up such a system? Keeping it on my self hosted git creates a circular dependency. I’m hesitant to use a private codeberg repo in case I leak secrets. Just wondering what the rest of you are doing.

I wrecked the ceiling/ wall bringing down a sofa. I’m a new home owner so not sure how to fix this. I have the paint since we repainted everything.

Not sure if I should use the pink stuff or something else. Any suggestions?

EDIT - Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. I was able to rebuild the corner using spackle and have sanded it. I put on the first coat of paint and am quite confident this will look as if there were no damage at all.

 

Hi all, I am in the process of setting up authentik and had the thought of setting up an intranet email for it.

The idea is that I could set up a very simple email server and client that would only work on my home network to manage email notifications, passwords, etc from all my self hosted applications (proxmox, gitea, etc). It wouldn’t need to communicate with the outside world, only users of my intranet.

Have you done something like this? Any particular tools or advice?

I know about other options like the proton SMTP bridge but this seemed more fun!
