I’m impacted by the wildfires in the area, had to evacuate and currently staying in a hotel. I expect my house is still standing (solar and some network devices were still responding until all power was cut off in the area Any hotspots in my home’s immediate vicinity seem to have been controlled and I’ma bit outside the perimeter zone). Fingers crossed, I’ll get to go home in the coming weeks.

I’ve never been in a situation like this though. Even if the house is still standing and structurally sound, there’s probably smoke damage, possibly other burn damage from hot ash (the fires got within a mile of my home).

For anyone who’s been through a wildfire evacuation like this and gone home, what should I expect, and what hazards should I be aware of? Will things like clothes, bed, and so on be salvageable? Are there things that 100% should be discarded? And can the house just be cleaned and aired out? And is there anything specific structurally inside and outside I should look out for that might not be obvious?

I’m impacted by the wildfires in Colorado, had to evacuate and currently staying in a hotel. I expect my house is still standing (solar and some network devices were still responding until all power was cut off in the area and impacted the local ISP, and any fires in my immediate vicinity seem to have been controlled).

Planning to do some shiplap on a bedroom wall but I don’t currently have a nail gun and want to make sure I get the right one for the job. I’m finding conflicting info online about it, and most sites about it seem to just be AI slop blogs.

We’re still looking into shiplap options, but planning for a light installation, and cosmetic over existing drywall, so will be doing either 1/4” or 1/2” planks (likely either slotted or V-plank, unless we find a flat plank we really like better than those options). Plan is for natural looking wood with either stain and/water based poly finish (it’s in a bedroom, so can’t have the oil finish smell/VOCs for days or weeks).

* Would this be best handled with an 18ga brad nailer or a 16ga finishing nailer?

* If planks are uneven lengths, is it okay for portions to only nail through drywall so long as at least some of the nails are in a stud?

Thanks!

I hope this isn't a dumb question, and apologies in advance if it is. I've got a lot of experience with virtualization, automation, and containerization via kubernetes, but somehow docker and docker compose is something that's generally slipped by my experience over the years.

I'm running AudioMuse-AI on a home server and initially spun it up via quickstart instructions. I have Navidrome and Jellyfin as media server options, and the instance will only connect to one or the other, so I want to set up a second instance.

I did this via setting up a new folder, git cloning the project again, defining the .env vars for the ports, and deploying it via renaming the container names in the docker-compose.yaml file and deploying with a defined project name via docker compose --project-name am2 -f deployment/docker-compose.yaml up -d so it wouldn't overwrite and/or recreate the previous containers.

This worked, and now the new containers are running on the am2 project (so originals are, for example audiomuse-ai-flask-app, and new one is am2-audiomuse-ai-flask-app), but I'm still rather confused, and can't figure out how to list containers by project or keep it organized. So, I've got it working, but I'm confused on how to properly isolate and contain it in the event I want to scale up containers, or just cleanly spin down one project.

I'm used to working with kubernetes where I can define a namespace and everything is isolated via that, no problem, and then it won't give any issue with conflicting container names. Is there anything similar for docker, and if not, is the method I used above to deploy multiple instances of an application the best option? Is there a better way?
