Does anyone else proudly display the what they self host on their laptop? The hardest part is removing old stickers when you port from one project to another (Trilium and Obsidian for example). People ask me all the time what’s this or that sticker. I’m impressed when they can pick one out on their own.

I see Trilium!
It must be a lot of work to self-host DigitalOcean.
Also Steam… i mean it’s a LOT of games!
I’m proud that I got enough users to justify moving that server out of my closet. You think I should replace it with ceph?
Hehe, why do you have a butthole next to Tux?
you self host your own claude llm? damn and here i thought a 14B deepseek ollama instance was good shit - how did you get access to their proprietary weights?
No, but I refuse to pay my VPS for GPU time so I self host Gemma3:27B with RAG on Ollama over tailnet to make a choose your own adventure medical protocol simulator. I’m sure Claude could give me some context breathing room but not at those token prices. I did see something on pointing Claude Code to your own Ollama server and that would maybe justify the self hosted butthole.

Out of interest by “selfhosting” steam are you running a steam cache or just using it? Or is there something else I’m missing lol
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.

And yet I see no pornhub sticker…
Should be a stash sticker if we’re selfhosting
You can use jellyfin for this 👀
What is stash?
Plex for porn
Sigh looks like I’m spinning up something else.

FTFY ;-P
Not in this tab anyway…
these ones: https://www.etsy.com/shop/SoHexy ?
I think I’m in love. They have such great variety, and the artstyle is so neat. And I love stickers because they are such great conversation starters.
~$5 for a single sticker??
If you don’t want to pay, print them for yourself.
They do look really nice. Don’t get me wrong, these are lovely stickers. But say I want 10 of these, it would be $50, which I am not going to pay for stickers, no matter how nice they are.
Maybe put them in packs? 10 for $20 for example? Something like that.
I wonder is OP the one selling them? 🤔
EDIT: Turns out that OP is the one selling them.
I was thinking you could buy a pack for $5 but power sticker is ridiculous
power sticker
I am sure you mean per sticker but the typo is hilarious :D
TIL nano editor has its own logo
Old HA logo but neat
I like the idea of this. Perhaps not on a laptop, but small hexagon badges that show some sort is relation to something. Favorite media, projects, software you’re good with, coding languages you a comfortable with, etc. A simple snapshot into someone that can be identified easily, what a great conversation starter.
These are really consistent, do you print them 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.

Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…
Why though? Just curious
It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:
- post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
- another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
- post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product creates an effective advertisment
It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.
I see.
So you don’t have an issue with it being etsy but the intention/direction of the post?You’re not wrong that modern advertising works like that. In my case I haven’t shown these anywhere and just got my first batch in yesterday and was so happy with them I wanted people who would actually appreciate the comment to see. No links. No cart. Just “I’m proud of this”. If someone went and bought some hex stickers from RedBubble after seeing this, good. If they found mine, good on them for tracking them down. On the FOSS chain of thought, I think, at least for the FOSS stickers, these should be on GitHub or a self hosted web server as whatever creative commons means don’t sell my files/prints. That would take a day to spin up and might let people print them themselves if they’re so inclined.
Why did you lie then? A user asked if you made them. You could have just said „yes, I made them, and if someone wants them, I also sell them“
edit: FYI, this shop is OP’s shop
Found them! This lets me cheat and figure out the ones I couldn’t name (or knew I’d got wrong like Digital Ocean that I thought probably wasn’t Commodore 64).
They’re still a little wobbly but they’re good enough.
This is what drunk dads say about their 1 year old son who’s just learning to walk.
I’d love if there was a Gravatar-style thing you could choose hexes like these to display as a digital badge. Even better if it was self-hosted.
