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.

Finally managed to carve out some time since the birth of my daughter two months ago to tinker around a bit. Decided to tackle my gripe to semi-automate updating my services when there is a new release.

Now I have Renovate running on my self-hosted Forgejo instance using Forgejo's actions and a "Podman in Podman" image for its runners. Don't ask me why I wanted to do a PINP instead of DIND - I guess I like to punish myself. But at least this means everything I deploy is running with Podman 😄

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.
