Indeed, tailscale/wireguard/zerotier are excellent options to keep only the bare minimum (or even nothing!) exposed to the world.
I’d say keep that machine as is, and whenever you build a new one, just put whichever distro you like. If possible I’d roll back to win10 and after support ends, keep that machine VLAN’d off the internet. This way you turn it into a music production appliance without disrupting your workflow
Don’t forget about the whole desktop rain effect!
Who would dare to ask why
By the amount of exploits and privilege escalations he pulls off (and the fact that everything is stuck in 1999) I’m almost positive that the matrix is running on some sort of WindowsNT
I just checked and at least on LineageOS 21 (android 14) you indeed can add specific apps (and notification categories, eg calls) to bypass do not disturb
Maybe a bit of a low tech solution, but I have an older RPI 3B running a second instance of PiHole.
If you’re on Linux, gnome-web uses the same engine as safari. And it’s a mess
Safari is the new ie6
Edit: also blink (used by anything chromium) is based off WebKit (safari)
Hold down meta and you can drag the window from anywhere (on gnome at least thats a default)
Probable firefox theme and addons to replicate the Arc browser layout
Around that time too, UT99 shipped with Linux binaries on the friggin cd
Thanks for this! I have been using HA for a year now but only with stuff I already had on my network and a few Wiz lights. The whole ZigBee zwave thing has been a pending rabbit hole to fall into for a while and this was been an interesting read.
No idea if its better, its the thing I tried and it was pretty seamless to set up. With my aging hardware and AMD GPU, I have been pretty much sitting in the sidelines with this whole LLM thing
There’s a dockerized version if you need those

Check AnythingLLM out, its just an appimage
Tasks.org and logseq here, ended up being the simplest way after bouncing off grocy and other overly detailed systems.
Tip: before going through with hosting NextCloud, you could get /e/ accounts, they don’t give much space but since it’s just rebranded NextCloud, you can try it out and see if it works for you.
Currently we use several tasks boards so chores are separate by type (shopping list, maintenance, bills, chores) and logseq’s journal on the app makes it flexible to take notes or whatever you need (audio notes, pics, links, etc)
Wholeheartedly agree, but most people wont do it, so you end up with signal for 1 or 2 friends, telegram for a few others, and all the crap ones for the rest (whatsapp, slack, teams, messenger, etc)
Ive ditched every messaging app but signal and telegram, and its really annoying sometimes
While I was researching I found out about Squeezebox, as there are people using it in combination with HomeAssistant. Both solutions you and @cfi provided seem pretty doable, and I’ve already been tinkering with Mopidy on armbian. Snapcast is something I’ve never heard of, and I’m definetly going to tinker around it, I’d love to be able to sync several speakers around the house, specially for parties and gatherings.
That being said I think they are a bit overkill for the usecase, and I’m looking for something even simpler, maybe repurposing the guts of a cheap BT speaker I have lying around, see if I can find somewhere on the PCB where I can tap line level audio output and solder it directly inside the amp/sub box, along with a small power supply to run without batteries. (I know there are ready-made BT modules for this, but where’s the fun in that!)
Holy crap thanks for the detailed walkthrough! Im going to set it up as soon as I can!!
Tell me about it. I’ve got movies with the Spanish title, and the LatAm cover art with yet another title. Ended up switching Jellyfin to English just to be able to find my movies
