Please forgive any typos, my brian is still very much recovering. I'm not promoting anything cause nothing I've made yet is really worth much to anyone but my self,and everything is far from polished. I'm just sharing what I'm doing. In November '24, I had a mid level stroke. I've had issues with motor skills, headaches, and short term memory, but for the most part I'm doing quite well. For the last 6-8 months, I build a home server, (AMD 3700x, 64GB of RAM, 6TBNvME, and 2x 12TB HDD, old NVIDIA 2060. I setup up Jellyfin, ripped our 400ish Blu Rays, DVDs, and TV Shows. Setup Navidrone, and ripped our CDs, Home Assistant, AudoBookshelf, ConvertX, MeTube, and several other apps mostly discovered here. I also wrote my own app to track our large physical Media Collection that has a few api calls for pulling info about the items., a dashboard app in the style of the old iGoogle, and I've started working on 2 other apps, one to track medical information like blood pressure, glucose, doc appts, care team, medications, etc. The other app is for TTRPG GMs to run games that will basically be a digital GM Screen with a dozen or so tools.
I was a web developer for 20 years before the stroke so I had some previous entry level experience with this type of stuff, but not on this level. Mine was more for like corporate websites. My doctor believes this process has indeed sped up my recovery significantly. So this is just a post to say thanks for this community that has given me tons of ideas for things to try.
Looks like it's back up, may have been a temp issue.
