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.

FOSS source is here.

    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.

      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…

            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.

              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“

        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).

    Thanks, those give me ideas for making more operator logos like these (No AI but mostly CC0 (public domain) because my creative input is questionable, some are just tracing of scaled-down images with a few touch-ups; I’m not too concerned about sharing non-FOSS trademarks under a permissive licence at such low res)

    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

            Fixed. I don’t know why the node went down but I forgot to put it on the HA list. It’ll be more resilient now.

          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 appreciate the feedback. I figured out how to fit 5 on a 6x6 sticker. So that’s five stickers for $12. I can also fit 4x that on a big sheet, so it’ll be 20 stickers for $25. I just need to find a group of 20. The downside is that Etsy doesn’t do volume discounts, I have to build the multipack myself. I’m also trying to figure out how free shipping works to take that off larger orders.

    I don’t get how you “self-host” some of these things like Linux, Ubuntu, Android, and Raspberry Pi. Are you saying you installed them on your computer or am I missing something?

      I only have one laptop, so not every sticker is a self hosted software. Others are things I use and enjoy.

      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?

    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.

          Exactly, so… why the Claude sticker? Seemed like a cool concept to me tbh; till I read the comments and realized multiple things up there aren’t actually being selfhosted 🤷‍♂️

          Edit: and this is clearly self-promotion (AD) sharing their own etsy links. Shameful. Just be honest and you would have gotten a better reaction

    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.

      Per your suggestion I put the high res files up, self hosted, for anything that is FOSS. I guess someone can pull one of those for their Gravatar that way. I thought of a way to use this art style for conference badges but the detail is already small at a 2" hex that it wouldn’t be practical.
