After a lot of delays, I’m ready to release my tool for converting Pulfrich effect videos into 3-D anaglyphs. You can find the tool here

It’s been almost a year since I restarted my self-hosting journey, and I finally feel like my setup is in a “good enough for now” state to share.

Hardware

Currently, I’m using the following hardware to host my services:

• Asrock DeskMini X300 w/ Ryzen 3400G 4-core/4-thread CPU, 16GB ram, and 1TB md-RAID 1 SSD storage AKA DeskMini
• GMKTec M5+ Mini PC w/ Ryzen 5825U 8-core/16-thread CPU, 32GB ram, and 1TB md-RAID 1 NVME m.2 storage AKA ProxMox
• Synology 920+ NAS w/ 4x4TB HD in md-RAID5 equivalent AKA NAS.
• Home Assistant Yellow w/ PI CM4 4GB, and 500GB m.2 NVME storage
• Gaming PC w/ Ryzen 5800XT 8-core/16-thread CPU, 32GB ram, Nvidia 3080 GPU, and 5TB total NVME m.2 Storage AKA Streaming

First, the NAS is my primary storage server, where I store all my photos, documents, backups, and music. The only self-contained services it provides are Synology’s photo/video backup solution and a wiki that I mainly use for storing recipes. It is also the backup target for the three other servers. The NAS itself backs up to Synology’s cloud storage and an off-site NAS at my parents’ house. While it can be a competent self-hosting platform, I try to keep it more as an appliance.

I’ve slightly modified my anaglyph demo to accept GIFs of rotating sandwiches and turn them 3-D. Note that the video direction is the direction that the camera is going, not the rotation of the sandwich. If the sandwich is rotating clockwise, set the direction to counter-clockwise and if it is rotating counter-clockwise, set the direction to clockwise. Rotating Sandwiches is my preferred source of rotating sandwiches, but you can use your own source. Download a rotating sandwich from that website, upload it to this form, set the correct direction, pick your preferred color, and submit. Processing can take some time so be patient.
