1 month agoThe drives for my media server are recertified enterprise grade 16tb instead of brand new consumer 8tb. doubled the capacity for like only 20% above what consumer is selling for. RAM screwed me tho. Couldn’t find a way around that one.

Right now I’m just using it for an AirGradient dashboard, which is an open hardware / open software air quality monitor. I used claude to rewrite the firmware to send the data to prometheus instead if their own servers, and countless other frustrating changes because they make the whole operation dependent on a connection to their servers…anyway, I didn’t want to pay a subscription for something so simple. I’ve thought about using it for some other projects, but for a lot of stuff I just don’t see the need for a dedicated dash.
