Cake day: January 9th, 2025

  • Been meaning to make something like this, where every day has a list and I can swipe through days. I want uncompleted tasks to be moved to the next day at midnight. Finally, I want default (repeating) tasks every day or every week, which don’t carry over.

    Been too lazy to make it myself so right now I have a daily todo list template (text file) that gets copied to $(date -I).md a month in advance. I keep a few days open in nvim tabs and access them on my phone via ssh/termux. Then the cronjob archives old lists. Kludgy but been using it for years.

    Just because Asus has EoL’d doesn’t mean openwrt will drop support. In fact, you can get these routers for cheap now and breathe new life into them.

    With openwrt your router will outlive you. You might have to take it out with a shotgun. I have a 20-year-old dsl router that the isp gave us for free and it will not die.

    There are probably people reading this who are younger than this router, and don’t remember DSL… and yet this beast can absolutely run openwrt 23.xx.

    I say “can” because I retired mine to the box a few years ago, running 19.xx and working like new. (Just that 100Mbps is too slow.)







  • tldr: A used x86 desktop is better than a pi

    I’ve never understood why so many people self-host on pis. If it’s at home and not on a sailboat or drone, don’t worry about the power consumption. Worry about having enough power for a smooth operation.

    Like imagine your jellyfin skips during videos. Now you have to chase down the bottleneck and when you do, probably can’t upgrade the hardware anyway.

    Plus if the project doesnt have an ARM binary or container, you have to create a compilation workflow.

    Hospitals and schools upgrade their hardware every five years or so (when windows starts to slow down). The x86 workstations go up for auction for cheap. I buy them direct at govdeals.com (usa) where they usually sell in lots. If you just need one, look on ebay where the units are typically resold. Either way you can find something decent for $50-$100.

    So buy an x86. It will live forever and you can use your pi in a weather station or drone or similar project where size and power consumption matter.

    In my own setup, I have jellyfin on one $50 workstation and homeassistant/frigate on another. I would not have space (resources) for both on one machine because frigate is doing object detection on six cameras (even with a hardware detector). So the homeassistant computer has that NPU and zigbee dongle and a big hard drive for the recordings. In the Jellyfin machine, I put a 12tb hdd for the media and graphics card that is really good at transcoding (I travel a lot and stream videos from home).
