Sad to see the news about tteck. His scripts really helped me get off the ground on my own self hosting journey.

This is quite important with Immich. They’re good at documenting their breaking changes, just gotta make sure you check the changelog before updating. Also best to avoid auto updating with Watchtower or similar to avoid surprises.

I’m not sure if they’re available with UK plugs, but I’ve got a pack of Thirdreality Zigbee plugs that monitor energy use and have a button on them to toggle power.

I’ve got them connected to Home Assistant. Two do a bit of climate control in a coldroom, the others are for occupancy lighting.

Right hand rule applied to torque.

I would like to see a minority of the house representation of elected people from individual regions with term limits, with a majority of the house being regular people randomly selected to serve for a defined amount of time.

Oh yes, your pay-to-win government duopoly isn’t helping anything, but don’t call it impossible. The Affordable Care Act was a start, and I don’t doubt the right people could make universal healthcare access a real thing in the US.

Oh, I agree it won’t be easy, particularly when taking profits from rich people.

I’ve heard it likened to a house full of asbestos. Knock it all down and there’s likely to be collateral damage, but meticulously taking it apart will take a considerable amount of time. I feel it would be easiest for governments to purchase the insurance companies, then slowly amalgamate so it’s all one network open to everyone.

Hey guys, many other countries have figured out that healthcare doesn’t have to be a privatized, for-profit nightmare. Perhaps that’s an option worth exploring.

The asterism gives me big Splinter Cell vibes and I’m definitely OK with that.

I heard a podcast with the author of this book and the conclusion was similar. He recommends no smartphone before 16. Dumb phones for simple communication can be whenever.

I haven’t read the book yet, but the podcast discussion was fairly informative. I think it was Hidden Brain’s Escaping the Matrix episode.

That looks nice, yeah prickly with purple flowers is Canada thistle and you don’t want that.

Are the purple flowering weeds really prickly?

Yeah I usually just follow the “try another instance” links until one works.

I’ve noticed Invidious instances having trouble recently as well. I’m sure they’re not dead though, just need to get the next mouse for the endless cat and mouse game.

Aka a bribe.

Bicycles can’t or vehicles can’t? There’s a vast difference in weight and I imagine most wouldn’t even notice.

Also terrified of the same with my 9 month old, but you’re right, my Ioniq also gives a reminder to check the back when the driver door is opened if the rear doors had opened prior to the drive. I hope I won’t need it but it is nice to have.

Unfortunately there isn’t really an all-in-one guide. TechnoTim has info on the Pi-hole config side and wildcard certificates, but I think he uses it with traefik.

NPM is pretty straightforward. If you find a site isn’t working, try turning on Web Socket support.

I’d say just search for guides on each part individually:

1. Get all the services installed and up and running
2. Get SSL certificates from Cloudflare for your domain.
3. Set up NPM for the services you want to reverse proxy with your Cloudflare SSL certs (they wont work until the next step is done)
4. Set up pi-hole to be your local DNS (there’s also adblock lists to add) and configure it to send all service(.lan).mydomain.com to the ip of NPM.
5. Set up the Cloudflare tunnel.

I can try to help if you run into any issues.

Sounds to me like more of a reason why we should.

On what grounds? Surely no one with a regular job would sign a contract prohibiting them from discussing the details of their employment.
