I solved my no display issue on my server. I couldn’t even get the BIOS on output. After taking the entire thing apart and testing all the components it turns out my Tv broke itself with a firmware update and couldn’t receive input on any of the HDMI ports…
Name and shame the brand?
LG OLED ~2019. Nintendo Switch video wouldn’t even come through, which is how I figured it out
Reinstalled Dropbear for remote LUKS unlock after a SSD failure.
SSD failure was two weeks ago or I’d say rebuilding the server from backups and further polishing my Ansible playbook.
I survived another week without using LLM in my self-hosted servers.
Nothing broke
I cannot claim the same.
The truest answer :)

My servers are up
Started running arr stack, started running music assistant, improved home assistant dashboards, and fixed uptime tracker
I managed, without ever trying, to convert a friend to swap to Linux about a month ago.
Today I’m driving over to give him my old old server so he can start self hosting. He’s super keen on getting started.
So not my success, but ours? One more person joins the community today!
this is a great thread! this should be a recurring one
Discovered and got psittsa up and running, a cool little project that combines Piper (TTS engine) with a web frontent that allows users to copy-paste text or URLs and to either stream the audio from the browser or download it as mp3. Apparently it even does clean-up of old files behind the scenes.
I deployed ntfy and traefik, and adapted a few composes to use it.
I finally buckled down and built a music server. I had a ton of FLAC from before sources but never found the right software stack to make it a good replacement for the typical streaming services.
It took about a month of beating/breaking/resetting and removing unnecessary software. In the end it was way simpler than I originally thought and required very minimal resources.
I finally got around to installing Jellyfin. Still trying to get hardware transcoding working. I think I have it set up, but it still wants to use the CPU. I’m thinking permissions but I ran out of time.
Fun project.
I think QSV is the new “easiest” way if you have an Intel CPU. Here are some docker compose values that might help:
group_add: - "110" - "44" devices: - /dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/dri/renderD128110isrender44isvideoYou can
grep render /etc/groupto find your values.I found CPU accelerated transcoding to be as effective as using GPU acceleration for my small media server setup. Nvidia wasn’t worth it for me.
Oh thanks! I didn’t have the group_add.
Why the group add? Does JF default user not have access to dev dri?
I’ll go first: I got XMPP (Prosody) setup for the family.
Also, less this week (cheating a little), but I’ve setup all my services with SSL (self-hosted root CA), domain names, and (finally) a dashboard (Heimdall.) Edit: I can’t sepll.Nice, same! Was also really positively surprised by how great the Android app(s) for XMPP feel.
Only thing not working yet for me is group chat creation. Oh well. Maybe this weekend.
On the other hand though, voice and video calls have worked flawlessly.

We’re on iOS and I wish I could say the same. Looking at the Android apps makes me very jealous.

What server software are you using? I went with Prosody and it felt pretty easy to setup the muc module for groups, but, on the other hand, I haven’t gotten around to voice and video calls.
Are you using sturn/turn server? Almost always needed for calls and video, you should join prosody support channel that are really helpful xmpp:prosody@conference.prosody.im?join
No, not yet, that’s why I haven’t set it up yet. Hopefully its a this-week thing.
Ah, too bad. IMO better clients would make it drastically easier to convince people to switch.
Hm, I can create groups (also with muc), and the other members are added, but writing a message triggers “x left the group” for everyone. Dunno. Probably something trivial I overlooked. But honestly… Weather is too good today to be bothered 😄
Ah, I already had a TURN/STUN coturn server set up for matrix and jitsi, so it was just a matter of telling prosody about that. So I cheated a little I guess 😄 Here is my full config for that, in the unlikely event that you’re using NixOS.
Nice, had my XMPP server now running for a couple of weeks, not many users on it so far though. But my highlight of the week was managing to get the slidge whatsapp bridge with Prosody running, so I at least don’t have to use the official app anymore for all those people who resist to get off of it.
