Same, Covid was a great time to spend shifting things from clouds to home. I have a small fleet of Pi4's and 1 newer 5 (for running Omada locally). Cost has shifted from subscriptions ($$$) to maintenance (time) :)

"inivisibly"? for 9 hours this was invisible...

We have four on the boundaries of our property. My 'Goldidor' (Labrador/retriever cross) has given chase a few times and has struggled to keep up. When they run they RUN. Maybe not pushing 40kph, not not far from it...

can't believe meatfingers.com has been registered (dormant)...

Sounds like we're walking the same path - but moved most of the self-hosted stuff to self-hosted Forgejo vs Github...

A Few: - Augsentric [https://www.augsentric.com] - probably my biggest time/AI sink - for evaluating websites - FencePost - [https://github.com/seriocomic/FencePost] - a UI for multi-host Firewall rules (UFW) - EventFeed (private repo) - a timeline of events on my network in a centralized UI - Ledger (private repo) - personalized finance ledger using bank statements

The biggest unblock remains the tools/scripts/skills for documentation (started with Notion, network now sits on Obsidian for read/write).

Happy Kagi user - what 'sold' me (albeit already working in the space) was the adage of "if you're not paying, then you're the product" - having my results being manipulated to be constantly advertised to was something I was prepared to pay a token amount to avoid.

From an outside-US point of view, both of these links border on the satirical. The DHS one, with it's no-longer-funded/maintained banner, and the entire content, complete with the quote is just eye-brow raising.

I wonder if anyone did read through the accordian FAQs, especially this one:

> How will exit bonuses be issued to participants?

DHS is working with Project Homecoming partners on the disbursement of exit bonuses. Illegal aliens will receive the exit bonuses after they land in the country of arrival.

The delivery method will vary based on country-specific guidelines and regulations. However, no bank account is necessary for illegal aliens to receive their exit bonus. In most instances, illegal aliens will collect their exit bonus in their home country.

Yeah, like _that_ is going to happen...

I was thinking the same, but (and correct me if I'm wrong), the timezone means this is only really useful between 11pm and 5am AEST? - EDIT: yup - I _completely_ missed the "outside" of those US hours. yay!

With AI/LLM assistants the barrier to setting up and running a homelab is so much lower - in the past 6 months I've had Claude help me completely reconfigure the (now) 5 RPis that were sitting around severely underutilized, I have 3 running Docker, some split between home stuff, production testing and a separate management layer (along with backups that were just in the too hard basket previously). Not to forget all the documentation that goes with it. Fun times!

What came to my mind when I saw this at 625 points and 1743 comments, was "I'd love to run all these sites through my own tool that analyses websites (for tech issues)" and comment with a link to the commentor/site-owner with their own personal link for them - sort of like a technical 'mirror'). If I don't get down-voted I might just do that...

Interesting, but not original - a simple search shows at least a dozen same/similar (better?) solutions? Anything that yours does that those don't?

I use Kagi as my daily driver on mobile, and have it constantly as my second browser (next to FF Dev) on desktop for the same reason I use Kagi Search, support of the concept. It doesn't hurt that the browser is pretty good performance and experience-wise.
