This is the answer. I've had to build it a handful of times and it always feels bad.

My main use case for voice is for things that I haven't been able to (reasonably) automate. For a couple of examples:

  1. Saying "turn on the TV" as I'm grabbing lunch and walking across the room
  2. "Turn on/off the stars" for bedroom mood lighting
  3. "Timer for x" is honestly probably the most used things.

It's all fairly trivial stuff to do manually but I think that's probably true for the vast majority of home automation.

I've been actively suggesting to those who ask my opinion that they should wait until 2025 and more models coming out with NACS charging integrated. Tesla may be a shitshow but you can't (yet) beat the charging infrastructure and adapters are never as good.

Also, the market is changing so rapidly that it's hard to justify most of the current offerings.

"Presentation!" is a regular reference in our lives.

I usually figure there is about a year at the beginning of each term that is still the result of the previous administration. I'm curious how that would change the numbers here (though not yet curious enough to look it up).

Also, those numbers do a really good job of highlighting just how unrelated the market and the buying power of individuals really is.

This may be one of the only times I've seen a cat doing something silly and making it look hard

I store pretty much everything unless there is no chance for reuse. My current setup is a 4u unRAID server with 108TB of double parity protected storage (plus 2 2TB NVME drives in raid 1 for cache).

The caching is a feature built into unRAID (which is the server OS I run. It's not free but it's a lifetime license for a super reasonable price. https://unraid.net/

Also not really a solution but Dozzle has been awesome for making viewing live container logs easier

Our Flag Means Death is a fun one.

Cinnamon. Goes well with more savory things than I ever expected.

I have two libraries for movies because my home theater can let 4k + HDR shine while my Internet connection doesn't have the upload to send that to family. They get stuck with 1080 and have never complained. My server has the power to transcode on the fly but for now I have the free space to keep both.

TV is almost entirely 1080 unless there is a super good reason to upgrade past that. I'm not actually sure if I've ever done that.

Plastic bags. Zip-Loc or Hefty all the way. All the store brands I've tried are just trash.

I listen to a lot of K-pop. I don't know more than a very small handful of Korean.

I really liked House. The show just went off the rails in the last couple of seasons as I recall

You have exactly summed up my views. I currently have a 2020 MY and it convinced me that I probably won't buy another ICE vehicle. With all the crap coming out of Tesla and Musk lately, I also can't imagine getting another Tesla.

I'm just waiting for NACS to be built in and hoping today's layoff news doesn't ruin that as well...

Vivaldi seems to be one of the least bad options.

Taco/nacho meat is the one that comes to mind. I use it in other things as well but my mind has very helpfully gone blank...

This is what I do. DAVx5 works well as long as you're ok withiut realtime sync (you can pick how fast you want it). I would love to see Fastmail build the support I to their own app but that's not where we're at.

The Scholomance series by Naomi Novak could be great.

I also really dislike how many of the kind of shows feel the need to completely change their premise from fun crime procedural to deep dark romance drama. Lucifer did the same kind of thing.

I'm also using Dozzle and it's been great for semi realtime use. I occasionally think about something for longer term logs but haven't yet had the motivation.

I haven't tried it but it can theoretically support webdav. You can also mount it read only via fuse with a bit of effort.

Those are both on my list of things to experiment with. I love the speed but I miss the real files of NextCloud.

Did you try flipping the cable over? Some of the ports or cables that use USB C are super cheaply made and get rid of the flippability.

Which is part of the problem...

Out of curiosity, why cant you use a wildcard?

This is what I do. I ran into issues with monitoring too many services so I switched to a hybrid approach. I run an instance in my server that check the status of all my services and a separate instance in Fly.io that checks the status of my local UptimeKuma install

Internet.bs because it's cheap and had a cctld I wanted
