Meshtastic \ LoRa GitHub: meshtastic / device-ui: Map Tile Starter-Kit: “This folder contains a basic set of map tiles in different styles for Meshtastic UI enabled devices with SD card support. Each zip file includes zoom levels 1 - 6 of Earth’s surface, so whereever you are you’ll be able to zoom out and see in what country’s location you’ve been beamed to.” Now that I actually looked into how to get the maps working on my LILYGO T-Deck Plus, I started to get what I needed for my device. I have a 128GB SD card, so plenty of room for maps \ etc on there. I used map-tile-downloader to pull down some tiles, but I may have done something wrong because it’s not actually being displayed on my device.

Hardware Framework: Currently just using a Pi for general usage, but have my gaming PC for more intense work. But after seeing a few people at DEFCON with Framework laptops, i wanted to look at this again. Especially now that they have a graphics module with the Framework 16 laptop. Linux (Android, Ubuntu) I came across my Planet Gemini device while cleaning, & figured I’d see if there’s anything I can do to revive it. Planet Computers: Linux Flashing Guide There are also details for Has details for Android, Debian, Kali, & SailfishOS. postmarketOS: Planet Computers Gemini PDA (planet-geminipda I think I saw Ubuntu Touch mentioned as compatible too. selfh.st: Self-Host Weekly (29 August 2025) Projects from selfh.st that i want to look into.

ClockworkPi Devices I had purchased a CM5 to put into either my DevTerm or uConsole, but didn’t realize the ClockworkPi core doesn’t let me just swap it out. I need to get the RPI CM4 Adapter for DevTerm & CPI v3.14, which should take the CM5 as well.. guess i’ll find that part out too. The above made me remember to actually pick my PicoCalc back up to play with. I want to revisit JBlanked’s Picoware OS, since I had just a few issues with it earlier, but now see there’s a v.1.3.0 that was released a few days ago. Hopefully this will fix the issues I was having. ClockworkPi Forum: Picoware (Open-Source Custom Firmware) Containers (Podman, Docker, etc) A friend was trying to get BookStack working with Podman but was running into some issues. It made me want to re-look at Podman, just to see if I would move from Docker. Since I used this week to turn back on some of my Raspberry Pi’s, I can easily get Podman on one of them to test with. Meshtastic \ LoRa After reading about some HackerPager users swapping the battery for a larger one, I figured I’d try to do the same. Tomorrow i should have a 3000mAh battery I can use to replace the included 1100mAh. I think I’ve been getting a little less than a day on a charge (maybe less), so this should hopefully help with that =] Since i was already purchasing the battery, I saw the MakerFocus ESP32 LoRa V3 Development Board available for pretty cheap, & decided to add that to the order so I can at least have 2 LoRa nodes, to play around a bit. Haven’t had luck finding other nodes in my area yet… I’m hoping that will change. Photography Kickstarter: YASHICA FX-D: Your First Digital Film Simulation Camera: My dad was VERY into photography, especially film, so when I saw this project I wanted to back it for that reason. I’ve also been trying to get into a bit of photography myself. I don’t recall if I ordered the 100 or 300 version, but guess i will find out soon, once shipping starts for the camera. Raspberry Pi I’m starting to put some of my Pi’s back online that i never set back up after the move. That had me trying to get my Arducam 16MP working with my RasPi4 & I’m not sure if I needed to be using Raspbian over Ubuntu, but I was finally able to get it working. Arducam: Quick Start Guide: Use rpicam to access Arducam Pivariety Camera I didn’t realize i didn’t have a RasPi5 adapter with the increased voltage, so i found out the hard way that it won’t boot off USB devices unless the config.txt is modified. Instead of running off MicroSD cards, I prefer to use a USB external SSD for my Pi’s, so I don’t have to worry about the cards burning out. Once I did get the proper adapter, modified the config.txt to try & get my camera working here, it takes AGES to start back up… i was about to wipe the device & start from scratch before testing one more time & the system was back up. With both of these Pi’s + cameras working again, I got Syncthing setup on both & created a new function \ alias there, to make taking photos easier \ quicker. When I run rpicam-photo it will take the photo & drop it into a specific Syncthing folder, so that all my devices get the photos, no need to manually transfer off the Pi’s. selfh.st: Self-Host Weekly (22 August 2025) Projects from selfh.st that i want to look into. GitHub: rommapp / romm: “A beautiful, powerful, self-hosted rom manager and player.” I keep putting this on my list to look at & never get back to it… GitHub: streamyfin / streamyfin: “A Jellyfin client built with Expo” I’m trying to use my Jellyfin setup more than my Plex, so I’ve been trying out different apps i come across. GitHub: LukeGus / Termix: “Termix is a web-based server management platform with SSH terminal, tunneling, and file editing capabilities.” Maybe something to help centralize management of my devices across the network. GitHub: cogwheel0 / conduit: “Native mobile client for Open‑WebUI. Chat with your self‑hosted AI.” I’m pretty sure I have Open-WebUI running somewhere… dedicated app would be nice to play with. GitHub: fccview / cronmaster: “Cron management made easy” As I’m setting up additional backup jobs for files on my network, using cron more & more, so this jumped out at me. GitHub: App Store Preview: Notify: Website Monitoring: “Monitor Website Changes - Directly From Your iPhone” I’m thinking about using this even for my internal pages, just to see if it would notify me if something went down. Parachute Backup Mobile: “Set-and-forget iCloud backup companion for iOS” I definitely want to look at this if it’s an easy iCloud replacement. /r/selfhosted: Parachute Backup for Mobile is here, allows you to backup your entire iCloud Drive & iCloud Photo library to your own storage, NAS, network drives, external drives, etc. I’m here to answer any questions you may have!

Its goal is to offer a modern, minimal interface for browsing, streaming, and downloading media from a self-hosted Jellyfin server.” Jellyfin app to try out. GitHub: flohoss / gocron: “A go based task scheduler with GUI” Interesting project i might add to my list of things to try.

I’ve known about it, just didn’t have a need for it. LoRa \ Meshtastic Since getting the Hacker Pager at DEFCON 33 this year, I’ve been digging more into LoRa & the Meshtastic project to have something new to play around with. Unfortunately (so far) there doesn’t seem to be many other nodes on Long Island, NY, but we’ll see if that changes. Hacker Gadgets: uConsole RTL-SDR/LoRa/GPS/RTC/USB Hub All-In-One Extension Board: If I want to turn my ClockworkPi uConsole into a device with LoRa, this hardware looks to do the job.

GitHub: 7ritn / VaulTLS: “Selfhostable web app to make managing mTLS certificates a breeze” I wanted to look into this to see about doing device or user certificates in the future. GitHub: codeloaf / pi-dash: “Pi-Dash is a simple, lightweight dashboard for monitoring multiple Pi-hole instances. It provides a clean, at-a-glance, responsive view of your Pi-hole statistics.” Miscellaneous BookStack: “BookStack is a simple, self-hosted, easy-to-use platform for organising and storing information.” A friend of mine was looking into setting up BookStack & while i think i have run it in the past, i don’t think i still had any notes saved about it. Figured i could look into it again.

Ring just pulls up all this user data onto its services, and once there, it treats this data like its own, giving it to whoever it wants. " Belkin: I can’t remember if i did have any Wemo home devices, but seeing that they’re all going to be useless early next year anyway, it just makes me want to really sit down & build out HomeAssistant or any other project that at least gives some local control of devices. GitHub: booklore-app / BookLore: “BookLore is a self-hosted app for managing and reading books & comics (PDF, EPUB, CBZ) with metadata editing, OPDS, reading progress, and multi-user support.” I’m pretty sure I set this up, but didn’t get too far with it.

So i used Sideloady to just directly load Dopamine, jailbreak through there & install Sileo & Zebra, installed TrollHelper to get TrollStore, then installed Dopamine from there… as I type this out I am fully expecting problems because of how many hoops I jumped through on this, but I guess we’ll find out in 7 days. As long as I can load my custom root certificate & visit internal sites, that’s all i really care about anyway.
