How to freeze and reheat cooked eggs

How do you all freeze and reheat scrambled eggs?

Traditionally I’d bake them in a casserole dish as a scrambled egg, cut them into squares, and then put them into a wrap or breakfast sandwich.

To reheat I’d microwave for about 2 min from frozen.

Every time the eggs become super soggy, let out a ton of water, and the texture and look of the eggs is like a dish sponge. What am I doing wrong as every video I’ve seen seems to have figured it out?

My goal is to make breakfast sandwiches or burritos.

How to wire bathroom fan timer

Hi all. I have a bathroom fan on a simple switch but wanted to upgrade it to a time. When I pulled the switch out of the wall I found one ground wire, and a singe wire with some of the sheathing removed to loop around the other terminal.

Can I cut the looped wire and connect it to the load / line on the timer? Then I connect the ground to the uncapped ground/neutral on the switch?

Edit: the advice worked.

I put the unlooped black wire with one of the black wires on the timer. I cut the black loop and tied the two wires to another black wire on the timer. I put another grounding wire on the metal box and attached it to ground. Likewise, I pigtailed the neutral bundle and connected to neutral.

It took a few tries to get the box to close correctly since the timer is so big, but it worked out! Thanks again all.

Wifi Portal

Hi everyone!

I recently created a user-friendly WiFi portal that runs on my private LAN. The goal was to provide my family with quick access to WiFi information without them needing to ask me for it. After searching for a similar solution and not finding one, I decided to build it myself!

Some of the key features:

  • Login info hidden unless you explicitly click on it.
  • Generates QR code for your use.
  • Mobile and PWA support.
  • Tags to help identify when to use each network.

I'm not a web developer, so I would really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on how to improve the app. Thanks for your support!

Best Practices on Codeberg

Hi all, I wanted to query what others are doing with their open source projects on codeberg.

I have a Nuxt3 project (will share soon) but wanted to add the following. How do you do it?

  1. CI: I know they have woodpecker. Do you use that, or do you roll your own?
  2. Docker Images: Where do you push these? I know forejo has a built in container repository but I can't find docs on the limits or how to use it?
  3. BOTS: specifically renovate to update those pesky npm dependencies.

Backing up IaC

Hi all, I have my home lab set up as a single git repo. I’ve got all infrastructure as opentofu / ansible configs, and using git crypt to protect secret files (tofu state, ansible secret values, etc).

How would you back up such a system? Keeping it on my self hosted git creates a circular dependency. I’m hesitant to use a private codeberg repo in case I leak secrets. Just wondering what the rest of you are doing.

Wrecked ceiling wall, how to fix

I wrecked the ceiling/ wall bringing down a sofa. I’m a new home owner so not sure how to fix this. I have the paint since we repainted everything.

Not sure if I should use the pink stuff or something else. Any suggestions?

EDIT - Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. I was able to rebuild the corner using spackle and have sanded it. I put on the first coat of paint and am quite confident this will look as if there were no damage at all.

Self Host Intranet Email

Hi all, I am in the process of setting up authentik and had the thought of setting up an intranet email for it.

The idea is that I could set up a very simple email server and client that would only work on my home network to manage email notifications, passwords, etc from all my self hosted applications (proxmox, gitea, etc). It wouldn’t need to communicate with the outside world, only users of my intranet.

Have you done something like this? Any particular tools or advice?

I know about other options like the proton SMTP bridge but this seemed more fun!
