you install linux on one machine, and then suddenly every other machine you own has linux on it, ssh, and you use shit like rsync to manage shit over the network. Before you know it you’re running a snapcast server to manage multiroom audio automatically configured into your smart home network. (i haven’t gotten this far yet, but it’s eventually going to happen lol)
I’m in the “hmmm, I bet I could connect that appliance’s sensors and power to a Raspberry pi and get telemetry and automate it with Home Assistant, something something local Deepseek” stage.
Half the electronics in my house have little parasitic RPi4s reaching into their guts.
Luckily I live in a rural area so I have all of the wifi channels to myself…
it really is so true.

The pipeline is real.
