Welcome to the mainframe.

For managing my ebook library, and for pulling ebooks directly to my Kindle with KOReader.

This is the real reason I built my own NAS/server. I wanted to host my own media, and bought a PLEX lifetime pass ages ago. The whole family is switched over to it, and it's been fantastic.

These help me manage my library, edit metadata, rename files, and more ;)

Maintainerr is setup to handle unwatched media, and get rid of it after a period of time. We have it connected to Discord to notify when media is about to be handled, in case there is stuff that people want to hang on to.

I got sick of checking constantly for Groupon & Woot for discounted codes for Microsoft 365. So I set up my own! Nextcloud has been just, so damn cool. It, paired with OnlyOffice, has given me a complete replacement for MS365 without feeling like I'm sacrificing anything. It's wonderful, and when paired with the next application, makes it completely seamless.

I don't actually understand how Tailscale works. I just know that it does, and that it's magic. I have Tailscale installed on everything, including my phone, PC, iPad, kid's PC, all the way to my Raspberry Pi running OctoPi for my 3D printer. It's just...perfect.

Seerr gives me a webUI for myself and my family to browse for TV shows & media that they might want. It's a one-stop-shop for TV shows & movies, and we have Seerr connected to Discord to notify us when requests are available. It rocks.

Nice, fast & easy method of seeing what is being played on PLEX. Gives me quick insights in to server performance, and whether certain media is troublesome & should be re-encoded.

Scans my media library every few hours to check for new stuff. If it sees it, it runs some quick checks to determine if its needs to be transcoded to a better codec.

This is one that I'm just getting started with. I currently have it set up to pull data from my utility company to gather electricity & natural gas usage

Self hosting a persistent, always on Minecraft server is awesome. Having the option to do a heavily modded Java game, or to hop on Bedrock with the kids on PlayStation, is so cool!

Ads suck. You'll never see them on my page! PiHole helps all the devices on our network avoid ads, trackers, and a bunch more. PiHole rocks.

I'd like to upgrade the GTX 1060 I currently have to an Intel Arc A310 or A380. Both would be a huge upgrade in terms of concurrent transcodes, and both offer AV1 support! Plus, they're both wildly more efficient than my old Pascal card.

We're getting our ChargePoint Home Flex installed soon, and I'd like to connect the ChargePoint API to Home Assistant to track electricity consumption for charging & preheating. Plus, I'd like to get an Emporia Energy Meter installed on the circuits in the new panel to get realtime energy monitoring & data collection.
