  • Yes, I self host the English Wikipedia dump, as well as a few cooking sites and topic specific stack exchange dumps available in zim format.

    My goal is:

    • reduce dependence on public internet. In the event of an outage or restriction I’d like some books and other content I can use to entertain myself
    • locally preserve a snapshot of information before it is possibly diluted by LLM edits


  • I have consistently been trying to use AI for the actual tasks I need to complete for work over the last year or so (we are gently encouraged to try it, but thankfully not forced). I have found it to be “successful” at maybe 1 in 10 tasks I give it. Even when successful, the code quality is so low I edit heavily before it’s pushed and attributed to me.

    I think the problem I have is I rarely work on boilerplate stuff.

    Yes, and not only is this project very generically named, searching for what I was looking to do was difficult because of the wide range of options in terms of what a home dashboard should be…

    Many people want home automation integration, I don’t have any (centralized) home automation

    Many projects with UI designed for smallish touch screens (e.g. wall mounted info panels, where you need to tap to see info)

    Many projects want a full fledged grafana type install, overkill for me/my tiny homelab

    I was aiming for something more akin to those hotel lobby TVs which show useful local info and news on a fixed refresh cycle. This was also common on cable TV years ago: some channels would just show weather and news headlines 24/7 on a fixed cycle with music.
