Groovy straight up looks like shit. I thought Lua looked okay if you stood 10 feet from the screen and squinted. Even the moon, in recognition of its Brazilian Portuguese roots was included. Understand the intended use is a 2 inch tall sticker so fine details should be lost. It’s the forest, not the trees.

I didn’t feel that Tailscale was FOSS but I’ll add that one to the gallery. I swore I checked Debian when I stuck it so I must have rotated the swirl in production pre-hexing. AOSP could replace Android but a) I’m not running an AOSP device and 2) their current logo isn’t that shape friendly. But I might try anyway.

Something entirely not tech related but I love the investigative spirit

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

The GIMP one is the worst

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.

What happens if your server is offline and an email comes in? I’m genuinely curious what it would do. Or must you VPS host your mail server for maximum uptime?

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.

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.

If you don’t want to pay, print them for yourself.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
