    With limited space I am growing some plants on my balcony. Decided to harvest and dry the herbs so I have supply during the winter. I want to make my own herb tea blend as well, let’s see how that goes. Also decided to get of the streaming sites and have my own server at home. I calculated the energy price and it will be cheaper for me. This at least saves energy during streaming because traffic doesn’t go through 10 routers on the way to my device. And I am on a renewable energy plan.

      That’s a great idea to make your own tea! What kind of herbs are you planning on putting in it? I have a home server I’ve been running for a few years too and it keeps expanding over time! Its a great hobby to get into and allows you to detach from so many other subscriptions the further you get into it. What type of stuff are you running on your server so far?

        So far I only have peppermint, gotu kola, strawberry (apparently you can use the leaves as well) and lavender. But I want to add more local plants, such as lemon balm. I’ll add some dried apple skin as well for more flavor. For the home server so far I only run jellyfin but I just got started recently. I am using Obsidian for note taking and such, I am pondering to host that myself as well and make it sync. What are you running on yours? I am still looking for ideas :)

          Lemon balm is my favorite!

          Syncthing is a great way to sync an obsidian vault - not that hard to set up and requires almost zero maintenance. If you’ve got an iphone you might look into Nextcloud instead. For that matter, set up a Nextcloud server regardless! It’s your own personal Google drive plus calendar and contact syncing.
