Updated some diagrams at work today using the newish D2 language. I’ve dabbled before with tools like D2 that generate diagrams from “code”, like plantUML but D2 was really easy and made some great looking images.
Definitely looks more professional than the ASCII art diagrams they replaced, though I do find the ASCII ones charming.
Durability is a big concern for me as well. I bought a Pixel 2 at launch and had it until June of this year, almost 6 years. It was still in decent shape, but the battery had become unreliable and the cost of paying someone to replace it and fix the cracked screen was almost as much as a new in box Pixel 5. Hopefully my Pixel 5 will also last me a similarly long time.
I’ve used ledger on and off for a few years. I use it along with ledger-autosync to process the transaction files I download from Amazon, Paypal, and my bank. I haven’t gone so far as to automate the import of those files, I just download them manually, but it does support that.
What strategies or software are you using? My stuff is also kind of spread out right now: informal notes in loosely structured folders, formal stuff in a zettelkasten directory, bookmarks in a recfile, and work stuff in a Zim notebook.
One day I hope to get a working Apple II or a Commodore just cuz I do like vintage pcs. They are just purdy. Modern computers are great with their magneisum chassis, but still…...
For managing my library on disk, I just recently made the effort to set up the *arr apps. I love having the metadata, tagging, organizing, and file naming all consistent and automated. Previously I used mp3tag and filebot to manage them and it was way more manual. Everything is set up with docker-compose and Ansible.
Library file stuff:
Two Radarr instances, one for 4k and another for lower resolutions
Sonarr for TV
Lidarr for music
Two readarr instances, one for epub/pdf and one for audiobooks
Jackett
deluge+openVPN
For library frontend stuff:
Jellyfin for movies, tv, music, audiobooks
Plex, for when Jellyfin is acting up
Jellyseer for TV & movie requests
LaunchBox for videogames and emulators
Calibre + calibreWeb for ebooks & syncing to my Kobo eReader
Haven’t set up yet:
flaresolverr
unpackerr
audiobookshelf
Doesn’t exist yet/wishlist:
*arr app for emulator ROMs (I’ll have to check out romm, looks pretty cool!)
It’s alright. I have it tied in to my existing Calibre library so my metadata and library management workflows haven’t really changed. The process of finding and downloading new books has just been streamlined a bit.
What is the groups focus? I moved to Resin a couple of years ago and my filament printer is in the closet gather dust... but I might break it out one day.
I spent entirely way too much time trying to get one of these style extruders on my Ender 3. Maybe I picked a knock off without realizing it, maybe mine was just defective, I'm not entirely sure....

How much power does your home lab take?
Mine runs at 30watts at idle....
What do you use to actually manage your stuff?
Everyone here is talking about how to get the latest and best stuff, but no one is talking about how they actually manage it 😜...
Are we talking resin, filament, or both here?
