Holy crap! I just got used to thinking that its been over a year since the blackout… but that shocking realization was a year ago now. Thanks, everyone!

My state just made self-serve gas a thing so I got an electric. If I’m going to have to fuel up my own car, I’ll do it in my carport.

I was excited for IPv6 in the 90s.

I am being a judgemental asshole toward myself because I ended up on Reddit per that flowchart.

I’ve ended up with a pretty decent vinyl collection doing this. A lot of artists sell record releases on their merch store.

I’ve got a bunch of stuff that I need to haul out of the house tomorrow; and everything needs to go to a different corner of town, so that’ll be most of my day. I’ve been updating my 3d printer and all that’s left is firmware and final checks, so hopefully I’ll have enough left in me to get that done Saturday too.

Sunday family is coming over.

Monday: nothing. Blissfully nothing.

yes

First set up your certificate in the SSL tab of NPM. You can either upload a traditional certificate or set up LetsEncrypt. Be aware that starting next spring the maximum length of a certificate will drop to 9 months and continue to decrease over the next few years until its 47 days.

I have mine set up so LetsEncrypt gets a wildcard cert for my domain (via DNS challenge). Some people go with per subdomain certs.

Once you have the cert, go you each of your hosts and switch to its SSL tab. Then select your cert. Then I usually turn on “Force SSL”

I use Nginx Proxy Manager running as a docker container. Its a gui that makes administration more straight forward. It points at all my services (docker and otherwise) and handles the SSL for me. Because I don’t want to have any ports open I use DNS challenge ACME and NPM has built in support for a number APIs from large public DNS providers to automate that.

This looks like the trailer for an ILM remake of CryptoZoo NFTs.

Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

If you can find something with an infrared remote you can control IR blasters via hass. I control an AC unit and a fan using an RM Mini3 (and my TV and soundbar) via Home Assistant.

We did ours in December and January so we were sure to miss tariffs, rebates ending, and things like that. Shouldn’t have any expected major purchases for at least a couple years.

Don’t worry, the oligarchs also want to release any content they own as smart contract so ownership is eternal and a driver of blockchains. Then they want to make breaking DRM or smart contracts more heavily punished. “Protection for me, not for thee”

I use Proxmox because its handy to be able to use both LXC containers and full VMs. I installed it as an ISO so its built on top of Debian. There are helper scripts specific to installing Home Assistant on a VM (as well as a number of other things). And the proxmox UI comes in handy.

I have Home Assistant in a VM so I can run it on top of HAOS. Then the rest of the box is set up as an unprivileged LXC where I installed docker. I run all my *ARR apps straight on my Synology (via docker) so they have fast access to my Library volume, and everything else running on the setup I just described. Then I use Portainer to maintain my containers so I can manage both the syno and proxmox docker installs from one page.

Not true at all. If you want to run Home Assistant on top of Home Assistant OS then it needs to be on bare metal or a full VM because its an OS. Running on HAOS is easy mode, but not required.

A few hosts offer alternative frontends, that’s how I found Alexandrite in the first place. A few will alternatively offer Proton. And I’ve seen a couple that have an old. subdomain where they run mlmym

If you don’t need to be super accurate:

• C to F: double then add 30
• F to C: subtract 30 then halve it

I like the room cold for sleeping. 60F (15C) is ideal, but we can’t get that cool in the summer.
