Sell to pay my electricity bill

I really wonder what their logic is here. I’m very excited to hear that GOS will be partnering with an OEM to hopefully get more support for the project, more frequent security updates, etc.

SFF Optiplec are great. I went with a decently spec’d Intel NUC running Proxmox that handles all my home services nicely without using too much power.

Fully custom? Sick! Where do I get one? 😅

I recently started playing with scenes too. Maybe I should go that route with more of my lights

Molto bello!

Yes, definitely. That’s one of the reasons I’ve implemented this way. If a light (for example) had the physical switch turned off and back on, a lot of smart bulbs will go to the on state, even if HA had previously set (and expects it to be) off. The next execution may turn it off in an off state, on in an on state, on from an off state or off from an on state, but either way that truth table will resolve after an iteration

Oh that’s good to know. I have a handful of Kasa bulbs and I don’t give them WAN access. They seem to be mostly fine without WAN, but I do get communication issues with them from time to time (which is why I’m exploring zigbee as an alternative). Thank you for the reply!

Great points. I have white a few smart switches through the house to control things both physically and via Home Assistant. Most of the other lights are wifi based and work mostly as expected with occasional drops (which can get annoying). Was wanting to experiment with ZigBee to see if it was more reliable, but it sounds like that might not be the case

Ambient Weather looks great. Just with it had air quality as well

I’ll check this out, thanks!

Thanks for the reply. Something like this guy? That looks perfect, thanks!

Rsync or SCP?

That would be my exit sign

Maybe I’m just being optimistic, but if you still have 15/30 years on your retirement horizon, this does not matter much and dollar cost averaging will make up for this in the end? I know people that “lost” their retirement in the 2008 recession because they sold rather than waiting for a recovery.

Sounds like a cool dude

Goa’uld

Good idea. I should back these up to Tresorit from time to time as well. Thanks!

Maybe this isn’t a robust strategy, but I run HA in Proxmox and have nightly snapshots of that VM. Anytime I need to restore I just revert to the appropriate snapshot

+1 to this. Tresorit and Mullvad are both exceptional
