I don’t want to hear about your Plex, your NPM, your notes application or science forbid, your budgeting application. I want to hear the most exotic thing you setup to selfhost, that probably only you and a hand full of people around the world actually use or even need. A problem that you solved in a way, that makes people go WTF. Go!
I’ll start: I live in the mountains, and there is snow, lots of snow. I often tell people “We had 3m of snow last year”, but is that really true? So, I thought to myself: Can you measure snowfall? It seems you can, so I setup a USH-9 ultra sound measuring device, connected it via IC2 to my Home Assistant and now I can tell people with confidence, that we had a total of 3.45m of snowfall last season, with max snow height of 60cm on January 5th.
Future project: I have chickens. They lay eggs. I have cameras. I want to know which hen lays how many eggs. Solution? AI image recognition of the hens (who is who) and if they have laid an egg. Any inputs welcome.
I need a connection that warrants a 100g firewall.
If you have fiber, chances are you can get a 100G+ connection.
Really? I’ve seen fiber being a nice treat only in some locations. Most of them are pushing 1gig with 10gig as the new option in select areas. I haven’t heard of any 100g broad rollout as a residential connection. Heck, who can even utilize that pipe? Besides a distributed mesh type network, I think even your best CDN’s can’t dedicate more than 10g (maybe 1) to a single client. Besides, what would that cost? Holy smokes.
