@ndupont Stickers, yes. Colored sticks. I put little stickers all over the computers. Most stickers have mundane details (like host name, Subnet, etc.) but I also use a sticker for each major service. Everything else is documented in notebooks or spreadsheets. It’s probably overkill, but, between my memory and the home-grown gradual evolution of my #homelab, stickers really useful. I have 9 or so computers (rack-mounted), more controllers spread around (e.g., ESP32s running WLED, Pi Zeros), and nearly 250 individual devices for #homeautomation. I’m trying to learn about FOSS for configuration control but that’s slow going.
@luftruessel @selfhosted I put in Lutron fan switches. Pricy, but work great and integrate easily with #homeassistant via Zigbee.
@DarrinBrunner That might have something to do with your TV’s standby status and settings. For example, “Wake-on-LAN” is not always available, nor are some network interfaces, including BT.
@mko I have one. Lots of fun. Made with a Raspberry Pi 0. Lots of plans online. It sits on my windowsill. Tiny! It feeds those two commercial flight tracking sites as well as others. Here is a link to the software for web interface to your ADSB receiver.
@Darkassassin07 Looks very useful. Also timely for me. I have a use case that requires multiple synched pi-holes. 👍🏼
