Crisis Point - The motion holodeck picture movie

What is that thing in the announcement picture? I can’t identify this device type…

That problem started with the first though. Not giving any clue what Rey’s background was and then deciding that he didn’t like Johnson’s take on it was JJ Abrams’ fault…

The Last Jedi is still the best of the new trilogy in my opinion.

I just spun an instance up using the docker compose file. I did disable the exposed ports for all the services except reitti itself. Is there a specific reason you keep them exposed?

The mail address is not the issue. You can enter any address you want there if you don’t care about Let’s Encrypt being able to reach you in case of problems (they won’t).

Don’t be afraid of the logs. You don’t have to read or understand every line of them. You have an issue with your certificate? Search for certificate and read the lines above and below to get clues what might have gone wrong.

Most of them are bash scripts as they usually don’t need any specific tools installed and run out of the box. When it gets more complicated (especially if there are lots of asynchronous and parallel tasks) I go to Node.js / Typescript. This is maybe a little bit of an oddball, but there are plenty of tools to create CLI binaries that can run independently and working asynchronously is really easy. I like the language a lot more than I like Python – I haven’t tried Go yet.

I also have several of these as a replacement for some Tuya sensors I added a power supply to because they ate through batteries. The Sonoff not only has a way better battery life, they also feel and look nicer and the readings are far better. The Tuya sensors were all off by several degrees and the Sonoff are way closer to the real temperature. I cannot recommend them enough.

Also: mains powered devices (lightbulbs, smart plugs, zigbee repeaters) will all act as a repeater in your mesh. Depending on your home it might help to add in a few of them. But keep in mind that this will not magically make your existing devices use them. When setting up your network always pair your permanent powered devices first so they can act as endpoints for your battery powered ones.

For the power state monitoring I can recommend this blueprint, which does everything for you (and maybe even more): https://github.com/leofabri/hassio_appliance-status-monitor

There’s a reason for that and it’s explained in the video: AI still needs input. If you want to create something really new you need new input and artists to provide that input. That’s what the guy is telling the whole video.

You can now use templates and still maintain the visual editor for the rest of the component. Very nice!

I think what he means is that if your backup is triggered from your main server and your main server is compromised the backups can also be attacked immediately. If the backup is requested from the backup machine you will at least have the time between the attack and the next backup to prevent the attack from reaching your backup machines.

There’s nothing wrong with being a gamer. It’s just a bad day/month/year/presidency to be a US citizen…

For me it was KitchenOwl. It’s shopping list works and looks similar to Bring, which we had used before and made the transition for my wife easier.

If you don’t plan on supporting this for at least a few years I would say no.

If you don’t expect to have a decent local userbase I would say no (local in the sense of a common interest, e.g. it might be useful to host an instance for all members of even a small company if you expect a decent amount of posts).

If it’s just you and your family (let’s be honest: it’s just you) I would say no.

The fediverse can federate, but if everyone is using their own server it’s just a fancy peer to peer network.

I also think it may be the browser not using the DNS provided by the router. This is often called Safe Browsing or Secure DNS in browser settings.

I don’t know if Home Assistant is so niche. Everyone who does some form of smart home comes to the point where there are several manufacturers forcing you to use their own app. If you’re lucky you can use something like Google Home or Siri to have a unified control interface, but these are usually very basic. You can try to stick to one system for as long as possible, but sooner or later that will fail. A system like Home Assistant is the inevitable solution to these problems and it is a very good thing that HA exists as a strong and open software to solve this problem.

I have an Intel NUC (3rd gen I think - it’s several years old by now) which runs Proxmox, which runs several VMs including Home Assistant on HAOS. The only thing I did was upgrade the RAM as the VMs eat this quickly…

Other services I run on this small box are AdGuard, Paperless-ngx, KitchenOwl, tt-rss and two Nightscout instances.

While almost everyone here seems to hate AI (maybe for the wrong reason, but who am I to judge) I like to have AI as it is able to provide answers a simple search engine cannot.

What I don’t see is hosting something like this myself. The managing of source and indexing them would take too much of my, my server’s and the web servers to be indexed energy (maybe I am wrong).

There are already good solutions (OpenWebUI with Ollama) that can be tweaked to almost do what you’re describing and the AI models get better every month, so I don’t think a custom AI search engine could keep up with it.
