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.

It does, but mostly because we’re talking about an enormous amount of data. The number being advertised is 2 Petabyte…

Keep in mind that 1 Cent in 1940 equals the buying power of about 23 Cents today. While this still does not work out for today’s film prices it get’s a lot closer…

I wouldn’t be to sure if Microsoft is working on something like this. What they did with Flight Simulator was pretty spectacular…

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.

A thicker body…that’s exactly what those watches needed… /s

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.

The two on left are like: I don’t like flies! I only like plain noodles - with Ketchup!

You can hope there will be a sudden price drop in about 5 years…

For a general guide on how to make ssh more secure I stick to https://www.sshaudit.com/

You can check your config and they also provide step by step guides for several distros…

Yes it’s flowering chives, but I wanted the title to be an alliteration… 🤷

The Switch is a family console. Neither Xbox nor Playstation can compete in this sector (and maybe they don’t want to).

Absolutely. While I love fully automated solutions there is also stuff that needs an user interface more complex than just a button. I love how much easier it has become to create personalized dashboards that even can adjust themselves based on the situation.

He wasn’t announced as a cast member. There might be a cameo though (I’m predicting mid credits)…

As far as I know that’s not possible for WhatsApp.

I use INWX (based in Germany). Prices are consistently low (not always the cheapest, but fair). The web UI is a bit rusty, but it works perfectly and you can manage everything there.

…and she’s sitting there the whole time…

Expecting sequels to start with the same level of content as it’s predecessor which has had years of free and paid updates is unrealistic and is not going to happen.

You can keep on playing the previous game (even games like CSGO which have been replaced by its sequel can still be played on Steam) and you propably should if you’re missing the content of a specific DLC. It’s a sequel, but it’s also a different game which may develop to be a totally different kind of game.

That show is equal parts content and advertising. That is a bit too much for me…
