I did a lot of poking around when I first started. Tried ~10 different apps. On one end there are the toys, and the other end were sophisticated apps that were too big an investment in time. Settled on SolveSpace as the…
Several years ago I made a simple 2D display with WS2812B led strings, just daisy chained together for a serial interface. Controlled by an ESP8266, with a number of static images (snowflakes, xmas trees) that scroll or…
Very nice! Just snagged a number of scifi titles it identified.
Solvespace is freaking awesome. I tried so many different tools and it hits the sweet spot for reasonable learning curve (esp. for someone that is not a mech engineer), power, Linux, cost (free), and safe from…
Agreed. Mostly a question of competition for time given so many other projects vs. something that is ready to use.
Mechanical CAD (Computer Aided Design)
Organizers are so essential in my workshop and homelab. The mill alone has hundreds of items to keep track of. You can only go so far with misc cardboard boxes. I've been using SolveSpace MCAD to design simple just…
I master all files on the home nas. No more files on a local laptop. Everything, including photos. Photos moved off of phone and stored on nas. Plex has access, and Home Assistant displays random family photos every…
How would you compare your vision to EspoCrm? It has nice UX, custom fields, formulas, can be self-hosted, is very low cost, api access, with add-ons for workflows, reports.
Absolutely love HA, it's been deployed for 6 years now. I try and run as much as possible through a mosquitto server to keep things decoupled. The biggest pain has been ZWave devices. I've had multiple in wall switches…
Altium claims to have a translator that covers symbols: https://www.altium.com/documentation/altium-designer/orcad-i...
Following. Inventor of OrCAD CIS (Component Information System) here. Still using an old version of Eagle (7.3.0) before it got neutered by Autodesk. I mostly just use schematic capture for documentation, rarely layout…

I solder in the garage, never indoors. My bench has a 6" inline duct fan near the soldering station and I just run the fumes out a long section of ducting. These fans high cfm and crazy quiet. Everything stows away…
This is very cool.
True, more and more sites get broken, even page content for our DMV website. I've gotten used to activating the pi-hole Disable for N seconds/minutes feature regularly.
Thanks for sharing, never heard of OnlyOffice...I will be investigating as part of a goal to manage shared access to ~30K MS Office files.
Great thread. My setup... Hardware: Intel NUC, running Proxmox Synology DS920, 16 TB - used for storage and file services only. I avoid the Synology installed apps to keep this decoupled. A pile of custom Wemos devices…
Been quite happy with my Anycubic Mega S. It just works. $179 on Amazon when it goes on flash sale.
