Topic per title, basically.

For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)… I keep circling back to Nova video player.

https://github.com/nova-video-player/aos-AVP/releases

It’s arguably not even self hosting…but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc

IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.

    I love Immich. I’ve pulled in all my photos going back to high school in the early 2000s and it’s so awesome having a timeline of them.

      I love Immich for the fact that since I cannot hold peoples name in memory for more than a minutes, and I meet a lot of new people, so being able to take a photo and save their name is big for me.

      Helps me when I study people’s names periodically too

    Self hosting our budget with Actual has been a game changer for my partner and I. No other budget app really worked for us but this was super easy and the PWAs really make a difference.

      The thing that really kills me with actual budget instead of firefly philosophy differences is that a “budget per month” app needs to have some flexibility with dates and categorization which I don’t find in actual budget. At the very least, setting a different “beginning of the month”.

      I get paid on the 27th-30th of the month, that is my budget for the following month but according to actual budget, that is my budget for the month of money I have already spent. Likewise with bills, I transfer money to an account where all the bills automatically come out of after I get my paycheck, but those are bills coming out of the budget for the following month.

      You can’t budget with money you don’t have yet… Especially for people with variable salaries (Belgium pays money for the days you bike to work, getting expenses paid back, etc…)

      If I transfer my bills money on the 1st of the month (last possible day) and then before the 1st of the month the next month, then all metrics and budgeting for 2 months are fucked up and inaccurate with no way to fix it.

        I also get paid near the end of the month, the way I handle it in Actual is I budget at the beginning of the month with the money I have at that point. When the salary comes in, I click on the now non-zero unbudgeted amount and select “Hold for next month”, which moves the amount to the next month for budgeting purposes (the transaction keeps the correct date). It is an extra step, but I have two jobs, both of which pay on different dates, which also vary with weekends and holidays, so I don’t think there is a better way in my case.

        Actually, I just had a look at the docs and it seems the holding for next month can be toggled to be automatic. Will have to try that https://actualbudget.org/docs/budgeting/#automatic-holding-of-funds

      100%. Home Assistant has proven to be incredibly useful in my house. My wife loves it for the laundry notifications, the fact that I essentially replaced Life360 with it (Traccar, really, but it ties into HA so nicely), and the automated lighting: our basement (the younger kids’ play area), and themed lighting for the outdoor lights.

      We’ve been fighting tangled toilet flapper chains over the last few years. The tangled chain keeps the flapper from closing, which causes the tank to continuously run into the bowl, which causes my water bill to skyrocket if gone unnoticed (we have 5 kids, 4 toilets, and the chains get tangled no matter what I do: new chain, longer chain, shorter chain, different type of chain/string/twine, etc… I blame the hard water). I finally got fed up, so I bought and installed a zigbee water level sensor for each toilet tank, then whipped up an automation which notifies us via Android’s “alarm_stream” notification channel if a sensor has been dry for longer than a few minutes. That channel overrides DND, and I am going to add an entry to ping my HA Voice thing as well in case we don’t have our phones on us.
