Why do YOU homelab?
  • As someone who doesn't work in tech, I mainly homelab as a way to learn about different technologies for fun. But I also like that I can invest in and control my own data, and don't have to risk that my data will be inaccessible because a company goes under or changes their business model.

  • Superconductor Breakthrough Findings Replicated, Twice, in Preliminary Testing - Tom's Hardware
  • If you want to see all the conflicting findings and by-the-minute updates, this post is great: https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/claims-of-room-temperature-and-ambient-pressure-superconductor.1106083/page-11?post=94266395

    I'm very much not an expert, but my read of this is: most replication efforts have mostly failed when it comes to making a working room temp superconductor (meaning conducts electricity with no resistance). However, groups are increasingly seeing some of the other characteristics expected from superconductors, and it appears that the failures might just be caused by using an unrefined technique.

    So time will tell, but this is probably a big advance, but not itself a world changer just yet.

  • Let's talk about something else
  • I second this. I'm a casual Linux user for hosting personal things at home. I'm not a tech professional. I use Ubuntu because I typically don't know how to do things on my own, so I need to be able to find guides.

  • Looking for tech documentation solution
  • I know this is the self-hosted Community, but I would use GitHub for that use case. I like to keep notes and links in plaintext files, and then store those instruction documents together in a project with any files needed for the project (like config files), that can then ask be easily pulled to the device you're working on. You can also get fancy and store the instructions in batch files that actually carry out the steps for you.

    Of course something very similar could be achieved with a self-hosted git instance, but I like using GitHub because I like having the web interface and Pages option when those are relevant.
