What's happening on your servers? Any interesting news things you tried?

I didn't do anyone other than updating Mastodon (native deployment) lately due to a lack of time. Reading so much about Immich caused me to consider trying it in parallel to Nextcloud but I'm not sure if I want to have everything twice.

Not quite homelab, but I'm about to install Linux Mint on my mom's laptop and that had me thinking about creating an off-site backup in her place again since she has a fiber connection. I'm still not sure about the potential design though, but currently my only backup is in the same rack as the live stuff.

A self hosting thing that I did after having a kid that's helped us tremendously is hook up an internal camera to frigate to use as a baby monitor, and then have automations in home assistant to automatically change which parent gets notified about crying in the middle of the night based on an agreed-upon "shift". Just a thought to consider :)

    I love the idea! I was actually thinking about building something like a baby monitor with cameras instead of just buying one, so your comment further inspires me to follow up on that. May I ask what camera you were using?

    I think it was an older model of this one, but I'm not sure. Just a random amcrest I had lying around.

    It's also worth pointing out that there are a few self-hosted solutions actually meant to act as baby monitors doing stuff like sleep/wake differentiation. I just had trouble getting one of them going and just thought screw it I'll just use frigate and noise levels to detect crying sounds since he was older and hardier.
