I write science fiction, draw, paint, photobash, do woodworking, and dabble in 2d videogames design. Big fan of reducing waste, and of building community

  • On an old raspberry pi 3b, a copy of a blog by one of my favorite writers (the original is long gone and was never archived, I happened to grab a copy with wget when it came back up briefly) so I can read it when I’m on my home network. And a pi hole dns adblocker.

    I’m hoping to set up some kind of media system for streaming eventually, but we currently use a PS4 as our media center and it doesn’t look like our options for compatibe apps are great.

    I’d definitely like to get a local Mealie instance going in the next year


  • I don’t know if this counts as a personal media server, but it’s been nice. Years ago my favorite blog went down. This was terrible because due to a robots.txt issue the site had never been crawled or archived. After a few months it came back and I immediately used wget to grab a copy of everything. A week or two later it went down again to be replaced with a stripped-down version, ten years of content gone.

    I had a raspberry pi and an apache-ready file structure, so I set it up as a tiny, intranet-only web server so I could reread my favorite stories and text plays on my phone just navigating to the static IP address. I keep meaning to add more content, since it’s already set up and running all the time, so I’ll be watching this thread for ideas.
