I checked for relay. I recall it’s pretty easy to see on the desktop icon. I’ll have to try again next time I’m away to see.

I was trying to stream my Jellyfin server on vacation…Over Tailnet I couldn’t reliably stream anything. Over VPN it was as good as local. I can’t believe it’s just a routing issue but I wasn’t proxied so it should have been the same. So a VPN for one user might fix the issue. The headaches of segmenting the network on that VPN are another problem even if the hardware/router is capable but doable.

I’m fascinated by the process you’ve described and it’s not far off. I knew that once I put these online, especially here with you people, someone would piece the steps together in no time. I’ve been doing pixel art for decades which has always been a mix of algorithms and manual labor. This mosaic process has been a few years coming between scripts, models, scales, pre/post processing, and output medium. The FOSS part was that I was including the print files for any FOSS project but not proprietary stuff. I’m still looking for a way to monetize the image process so I can spend more time making things I think are beautiful and less time grinding for the boss. One can dream.

It isn’t but that’s a great idea. Mosaic of photos of us to make our initials. You’re a genius.

Groovy straight up looks like shit. I thought Lua looked okay if you stood 10 feet from the screen and squinted. Even the moon, in recognition of its Brazilian Portuguese roots was included. Understand the intended use is a 2 inch tall sticker so fine details should be lost. It’s the forest, not the trees.

I didn’t feel that Tailscale was FOSS but I’ll add that one to the gallery. I swore I checked Debian when I stuck it so I must have rotated the swirl in production pre-hexing. AOSP could replace Android but a) I’m not running an AOSP device and 2) their current logo isn’t that shape friendly. But I might try anyway.

Something entirely not tech related but I love the investigative spirit

I only have one laptop, so not every sticker is a self hosted software. Others are things I use and enjoy.

The GIMP one is the worst

What happens if your server is offline and an email comes in? I’m genuinely curious what it would do. Or must you VPS host your mail server for maximum uptime?

Fixed. I don’t know why the node went down but I forgot to put it on the HA list. It’ll be more resilient now.

I appreciate the feedback. I figured out how to fit 5 on a 6x6 sticker. So that’s five stickers for $12. I can also fit 4x that on a big sheet, so it’ll be 20 stickers for $25. I just need to find a group of 20. The downside is that Etsy doesn’t do volume discounts, I have to build the multipack myself. I’m also trying to figure out how free shipping works to take that off larger orders.

If you don’t want to pay, print them for yourself.

I got them from Etsy. They all came with borders so I had to 3D print a jig to get the cuts right with a razor knife. They’re still a little wobbly but they’re good enough.

I did self host a steamcache years back but no, its one of the few “normie” stickers but few people I know that would even recognize that. I also don’t self host the Zigbee protocol, and I gave up OPNsense for Ubitquiti 2 years ago so no, that’s not self hosted either. I only have one laptop so my hobbies have to coexist on it.

I wish it was that sophisticated. I 3D printed a stencil or jig to line up the edges and use a razor knife on my kitchen cutting board. It works well enough. I did originally consider national parks or cities. I came up with it on vacation and saw some cities have their own distinctive stickers. The problem I ran into was details are hard to resolve with the art style I’m using. Words are even worse. I did a series with US states before this. I might have to revisit this when I’m tired of hex FOSS.
