Well, what do you expect? It’s full of Americans.

Well, they’re selling it to the advertisers, why not your wife too?

Sixty Niners.

Hey, we Scots were progressive that way too! Did some of our best mangling and hacking in a skirt.

Romans put up a wall so we didn’t horn in on their fashion scene.

My dad taught me things about driving that have, without a doubt, saved my life on more than one occasion.

Comes up all the time, and I’ve used android phones for almost 17 years. Maybe you don’t leave your music volume pegged all the time?

Create a cloud flare accounts and change the name servers at you current registrars to what cloudflare gives you when you try to migrate. Its best practice to split up registrar and DNS anyway. then create an API token so your reverse proxy can build records and certbot a new cert.

Like the max volume warning on Android since forever?

What rock do you live under if you’re using MySQL over MariaDB?

But the emojis help, right?

RIGHT?

I have 54 solar panels that are 1x2m apiece (108m2 total), and they generate barely enough to keep my house running in the winter, and have to be supplemented by a generator in the winter for December and January since it’s entirely offgrid.

I don’t think a couple panels on a balcony are doing much more than charging a couple phones.

I stood in one place for 3 hours while they meditated and stopped thinking so the time would go by quickly until they were done and we could go for lunch. Not sure what they were trying to accomplish in that time.

If you get a camera that is ONVIF compatible, you won’t need an app to set it up. Vikylin, amcrest are a couple I’ve used.

Use tailscale to access your cameras, don’t portforward them. They are pathetically terrible for security.

OPNsense

Thanks, Ron.

It’s so the sides don’t sag or bulge when full. It’s like corrugations in metal roofing/siding. Lets them get away with thinner walls.

NC is fine. Ignore the haters.

Why the hell would the FUTO guide recommend OpenVPN? It’s a nightmare. I guess they also recommend pfSense instead of OPNsense so there’s that.

For your own sanity, learn about Wireguard.

Happy to help.

The docker setup is probably less maintenance than a straight install, but your usecase might need the bare install. there’s also Home Assistant that can add Piper as an Addon (which is a docker container inside the HassOS docker container). Also the Hass install will let you add faster-Whisper and Openwakeword for a full voice assistant that autoconnects via the Wyoming protocol.

I’ve bought several Dell laptops over the last 20 years, the Windows install on them was strangled in it’s crib every time, and it was still miles cheaper than these other vendors.

If anyone needs to have Linux preinstalled on their computer and can’t click through the 3 steps in a typical Linux install nowadays, they probably should use something like a SpeakNSpell instead of a computer.
