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.

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 love my Razr+ flip. Only phone I haven’t destroyed the screen on at least once within 6 months when it falls out of my shirt pocket. The main screen is protected and if I broke the outside screen I couldn’t care less, but it’s still fine.

K9 is more of a mail client than a web interface. It’ll do multiple accounts and present a unified inbox.

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

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.

If a home automation product isn’t self hosted, it can fuck right off

Piper just moved to https://github.com/OHF-Voice/piper1-gpl

It’s fine, and it’s probably the best TTS you’re going to run locally.

Rebuilding containers is trivial if they supply the dockerfile. Then the base image is up to date, and you can add any updates/patches for things like the recent react vuln.

Someone linked this fork, seems maintained:

Watchtower, the automatic container image update platform notorious for breaking things

That’s kind of a bullshit allegation. Watchtower did what it did, if you set it up to grab unstable tags, then too bad for you.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay liquid.

And I know you aren’t investing here, but the point is that if you’re looking for things like bubbles to pop when you expect it, don’t. This could last for years yet if there’s enough will for idiots to keep buying.

I figured you did. It’s the guy you were replying to that seems confused.
