Changed my family dashboard from magic mirror to a home assistant dashboard. I’m missing some cute things, but the major functions work better, and I get some options that I didn’t before.

The US promised to bring this to the UN security console and did. However Russia has veto rights on the UN security console and so this went nowhere.

RaidZ1 is not the same as a mirror. I’m not sure if you are allowed to have Z1 with only 2 disks, but if you are you still shouldn’t because while it scales down that far it still does parity calculations and writes that to the second disk instead of just writing a copy of the data (the parity calculations probably result in the same data, but I doubt this is optimized)

ZFS snapshots are easy to settup. If you don’t notice that you deleted all the snapshots for a month you never will.

you still should have offsite backups for a fire, but the notion that raid isn’t backup is not really correct since for most people the situations that raid with snapshots isn’t enough protection will never occure and to the risk is acceptable. Plus raid is a lot easier to get right. For that matter if you have a backup but don’t have the password after the fire you don’t have a backup.

though if you rely on raid alone I’d want 3 disk redundancy.

Panels need to be accesable I’m not sure what you mean by void, but it may not be an allowed location.

Consistency. If you are going to run a subpanel to each room I’d like sub panels, but a mix is not what you want as then nobody is ever sure where to find things. The worst would be a subpanel but some circuits run back to the main anyway - lights is the likely area to see this as those are often shared between several rooms.

If you add a subpanel make sure you can get at it easially to add more in the future. You never know what else you might want in the future. That you think a 30 amp break in the main panel is enough implies that you have a gas stove/oven - you might want to switch to electric in then future for various reasons. Thus make sure there is space for 6 more circuits (2 for the cooktop, 2 for the oven, and 2 for things nobody has thought of today) For the same reason you should get at least 75 amps to that subpanel - even though you will likely only use 30 at max you want that extra space for the future. (I’d go 100 - it doesn’t cost that much more and you can upgrade the main panel in the future.

I don’t recall NEC saying anything about how much a subpanel needs to feed with, other than “enough”. I haven’t checked the latest though. Still 30 amps doesn’t seem enough for a kitchen even if allowed - some day you will throw a party and that won’t be enough for all the things pluged in. NEC requires 2 different 20 amp circuits for counter top use, 15 amps is not allowed, and if I were you I’d consider putting in 3 just to be sure. I’d say less than 50 amps isn’t enough for your current uses (and I’d go for 100 on the assumption that the main service gets upgraded some year)

Honestly though, most people don’t use subpanels for a kitchen. It doesn’t save money and most decorating plans cannot work around a subpanel - this ends up being the big killer.

True, but as a general rule until you get to the F350 class or higher states don’t charge that extra tax.

The F350 is the smallest vehicle where they charge by weight. Unfortunately they don’t check for how much you use it, so for the 6 times a year I use mine I’m paying $.10/mile - while someone else who uses it for hauling as a job is paying $.01/mile.

Everything starts with what my family needs/uses. Jellyfin for media. Grocy to track which kid has done their chores. Home assistant to make a nice dashboard in the kitchen to see the family calendar (still on google) and the chores. I’ve tried a few other things, but those are the ones important to me.

I only have leagally owned movies. I’m technically violating some law but since I can show the judge the originals and they are not available outside myhome they won’t dare go after me - a jury won’t convict and even if one would I’m a perfect ‘normal man’ who proved the law is unjust. I won’t be as well known as Rosa Parks in history but I’d be a perfect story to rally around to get the las changed and they won’t risk that

My supply managemet reys know that, I just know they talk about it is a routine thing and the suppliers salesmen act like it is normal. I’m not in those conversations often but I’ve heard them.

I don’t understand why legitmate companies are not in arms over this. When that many ads are scams your customers will learn that facebook ads are scams and not buy from you either. Fool me once…

There is no reason consumers cannot demand this even though they haven’t. There is no reason the law cannot demand it even though it hasn’t.

The important part is that the idea exists and is common enough in OTHER situations. When you ask for it there will be people who know what this means and there is a whole industry of “we escrow your code for you” that can handle the details. If you make a new law you have plenty of examples to look at and so are much less likely to accidentally create some unintended consequence that is worse than the current situation.

After verifying that OP’s intent was met I gave a more fun answer that abused the letter of what was asked.

Yes. However as others have already said odds are you don’t have the right devices. Still if you really work at it everything exists. Start by selecting one of the few TVs that support it, then get a good HDMI cable, make sure you have a video card that supports it, with drivers for the OS (you might have to write them yourself), then just setup networking. This would be an interesting hack, I’d love to see someone get it working and show their setup, but it is otherwise useless and will be a lot of work.

Consumer devices are not industry. they almost never get that treatment.

The code should go into escrow when the first game is sold. This is standard practice in industry - you don’t buy something without assurance that if the company goes under you have options.

If you don’t want to give the sever away (including the ability to use it) then don’t shut it down or otherwise make the game unplayable.

We are reasonably confident that mathematical limitations apply to both the inner and outer universe. However they don’t understand the mathematical limitations enough to understand how little they matter. Pi is pi everywhere - that doesn’t change anything.

There are truths we can’t prove true - again it doesn’t say anything about all the other trues we can prove.

Cage is not what I want from a kiosk. I want window management, I just want a few fixed windows in fixed positions. Sometimes I want to rotate between a few windows. I’m running Magicmirror now which gives what I want, but it is too slow and too locked into the everything is a web app model.
