Canada has decent healthcare, and I’d be worried that if we let you have Canada - you’d degrade that. America is basically a floating shopping mall. Everything is for sale. Even things that really shouldn’t be.

Sadly I haven’t yet got Kbin’s RSS to work with FreshRSS. It claims there is no feed. Which is a shame. But yes I use FreshRSS daily 👍
My automations include:
Setting the lighting mode to “night mode” based on a threshold of the outside lux level, which is changed dynamically based on the reported weather condition.
Setting a master brightness input_number based on a threshold of the outside lux level, which is dynamically changed based on the reported weather condition. Every room then has it’s own input_number which is automatically set every time the master brightness changes, and either has additional brightness added relative to the master, or brightness subtracted.
At 7:30am some Jinja code starts setting a daylight temperature input_number which starts adjusting the Kelvin temperature of supported lights in the house. I’m aware that there are various integrations to do this, but they all appear to be based on the actual sun, and as a SAD sufferer I don’t understand why people would want that, especially in the winter. My solution guarantees me at least 8 hours of “daylight” regardless of what the time of year is. - The code is ridiculously simple too:
{% set k_end = 5500 %} {% set k_start = 2000 %} {% set t_start =
today_at('07:30') %} {% set t_end = today_at('10:30') %} {% set cv =
((now()|as_timestamp) - t_start|as_timestamp)|int %} {{ k_start +
(cv/3.0857)|int }}
Then the reverse happens starting at 6pm:
{% set k_start = 5500 %} {% set k_end = 2000 %} {% set t_start =
today_at('18:00') %} {% set t_end = today_at('21:00') %} {% set cv =
((now()|as_timestamp) - t_start|as_timestamp)|int %} {{ k_start -
(cv/3.0857)|int }}
My other favourite automation, is something I call Music Walk, essentially when I play music on a group of speakers, as I move about the house when the occupancy of a room changes (camera through frigate, and Zigbee motion) a script is triggered which increases the volume in that room, and starts a timer for 01:30:00 and then after occupancy has been cleared, the timer is reset to 00:05:00 and when the timer finishes - it will run the script that changed the volume originally and set it to 0.1 So it feels like as I walk into rooms the music follows me there, but really it was already playing there - just quieter.
This post reminded me to finally get around to fixing the error preventing me from setting up TOTP on my self hosted install.
PiHole as your DNS resolver. LocalDNS mapping whatever hostname you want to whatever IP you want.
Because I use Nginx Proxy Manager internally - then most of my hostname point to the Nginx IP address
The main reason to self host snapdrop is that a good 60% of the time, when I really need it to work - it’s down.
This.
Proxmox and then LXCs for anything I need.
and yes - I cheat a bit, I use the excellent Proxmox scripts - https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ because I’m lazy like that haha
Lewis from Everything Smart Home dropped a video a few weeks back, telling us about the Zimaboard - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr7vo9NAWfo low power, fanless, single board etc.
Yeah. I think the empty ssh file and wpa_supplicant stuff that Raspbian accepts in the root of the disk, is down to the nature of people setting up headless Raspberry Pi’s frequently. Setting it up properly on a PC and then booting the Pi from it - is definitely the way to go.
I’m not sure that it can be done. Looking at https://linuxhint.com/install_debian_raspberry_pi_4/ it suggests the images on the debian site, come with a root user with no password, and SSH set to keybased auth. There isn’t even any WiFi until you login and enable it.
Create Home Assistant automation
Choose Homeassistant as the trigger
and Start as the event.
I tried to upload a photo showing this, but that doesn’t seem to be working right now.
