    My king of all junk boxes, 4 TB snapraid + mergerfs disk hub. The temperature is okay, the speed is good! all connected to RPi4.

    Jump

  • The USB hub is powered, and the Pi needed a driver swap for better stability. So far works great.

  • Here we gooooo, the king of all junk setups.

    Yeah, I've collected some used disks over the years.

    The housing has been drafted in FreeCAD and then sliced out of scrap plywood.

    And yes, the temperature is okay.

  • What's currently running on mine:

    • 10 commodity SSDs through a powered USB hub forming a poor man's NAS with snapraid + mergerfs
    • Podsync for converting my favorite YouTube channels to podcast feeds
    • Syncthing for generic file synchronization
    • K3s for whatever projects coming to my mind
    • Retroarch for occasional gaming needs
    • MPD with a floppy disk interface as my music station
    • CUPS for printserver

  • What are your favourite system sound effects, if you use any?

    Jump

  • Not exactly a terminal bell, but in my own phone I have replaced all system sounds with those coming from Doom 3 and Quake 2. Best UI sounds ever.

    Plasma rifle cocking for display unlock is music to my ears.

  • The only brand new one is the Motorola ROKR E2 in the middle.It's not quite often to see damaged units on sale, as most of them are headed to a dumpster/recycle shop.Just today I salvaged a portable cassette player in a decent cosmetic condition, I've yet to check the inner mechanics, but I'm pretty sure I'll bring it to life one day.

  • Apparently Homebox allows setting third-party label rendering endpoint through an HBOX_LABEL_MAKER_LABEL_SERVICE_URL env var

    Jump

  • Homebox supports the https://<hostname>/a/<inventory_id> shorthand and does a 302 jump for you. Otherwise yes, I would have implemented the API search in a microservice.

  • You're absolutely right here, this is my personal bias as I come from that part of the world (ex-USSR), where Palm's market share was almost negligible. I'll make sure to actually fix this in my presentation.

    Jump

  • For now I use the vendor provided app, given it supports a share intent, so I can simply toss a PNG from Vivaldi at it and make it print the label. It does the job, and more importantly, it bypasses all possible obnoxious advertisement.

  • Surprisingly, it works! I just checked it on my microservice, indeed now QRs are smaller. This is a lifesaver tip, thanks a bunch!

  • I keep track of lots of vintage devices in my basement, these lay on a CD shelf with narrow walls, and I want to keep track of their maintenance status, i.e. when did I charge the battery last time.This little printer is pretty handy for labeling tasks, with one noticeable problem: the resolution is quite low, so I cannot afford printing full length domain name on such a tiny label. What I ended up with is writing my own microservice that puts fake http://i.nv/ domain in front of inventory ID. That domain is provided by DNSMASQ that I run on my server, and there's also NGINX listening for that domain and doing 302 onto an actual Homebox page.Homebox sends URL parameters to the specified endpoint, and given that information it is possible to construct any label of any shape or form, it only needs to be a PNG image.

    Some heartwarming news: the recent donations of my viewers and subscribers went to buy 30 kg of dry cat food and to fix leaking rooftop at Kotofeechka cat shelter in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

    This landed in my mailbox yesterday. Won an auction on one Sony Clié, got 2 Palm PDAs instead. Not a bad exchange, I must say.

    Pretty dope, need to try that myself some day. But first I'd like to setup URAN-1 SDR to spawn a DIY 2G cell tower 👀
