The community has managed to drastically lower hardware requirements, but so far I think only Nvidia cards are supported, so as an AMD owner I'm still missing out :(

The amount of open stuff that was migrated into the Play Services closed source blob over the years just keeps growing.

I wonder if you could take a lien against yourself, it would show up for any potential buyer...

I think these models can act as router while leveraging RNDIS tethering if you don't have a separate sim card...

Have been self-hosting this on Docker/Portainer for several weeks for a few people. Works fine so far.

I might just succumb and do the prudynt restart by cron every once in a while as this does seemingly fix it.

I'm running thingino cameras off wifi and the stability is kinda meh... Want to try a wired setup with a PoE USB Ethernet adapter...

For most part it's okay to pass through by I'd, unless it's some chinese device, which reminds me of the scene from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou:

"- do interns get Glocks? - no, they all share one"

Originally I was planning on building the NAS with just the Minisforum MS-01, but truenas and USB enclosures do not play well together.

So I went for the AOOSTAR NAS mini-pc as a "proper" solution. Ended up with two machines, so why not join them into the cluster!

Probably can chuck proxmox on a RasPi somewhere, just for quorum purposes :)

At least I was laughing at the Cloudflare oopsie, since all my light switches (et al) are all local. Unlike those people with a fancy smart bed that went into a W shape because it couldn't talk to AWS.

At first I had the unholy abomination that is Frigate LXC container, but since it's not trivially updatable and breaks other subtle things, I ended up going with Docker. Was debating getting it into a VM, but for most part, docker on LXC only gave me solvable problems.

It's neat that Tommysense works on top of esphome... I'm currently using Bermuda BLE trilateration, but it doesn't quite work, especially in a multy-story living space (e.g. a townhouse). So I already have a bunch of esphome Bluetooth proxies all over the building.

But no source and "lifetime license if you join our discord" is kinda not my jam.

I've been using `mc` for decades... In fact, in my early professional days as a software dev, I've written entire systems with PHP using `mcedit` (the built-in editor), because I didn't know `vim` then, and `mcedit` had syntax highlighting...

I'm running HomeAssistant and I've tried the native integration, which works fine but is missing power consumption, or there's a HACS-based integration, that is a bit painful to set up, is able to see power consumption, but cannot enable sleep mode... So it's a bit of a hit and miss with either of those. Will take a look at the ESP variant, thank you.

Edit:

Looks like the ESP32 project is mostly tailored for hard-wired installations, but I just have a couple of floor units...

I wish there was something similar for ThinQ, as I prefer not to have Cloud-based smart devices, but alas, had to purchase some floor AC units during a heat wave.
