Apparently most of these are from 2016, which feels like a fucking life time ago. Had to look up the time-line of his “career”.

He came to prominence with his 2016 memoir, Hillbilly Elegy, which describes his upbringing in Middletown and his family’s Appalachian values. It became a New York Times bestseller and attracted significant press attention during the 2016 United States presidential election. Originally, Vance was a critic of Trump and in 2016 wrote a critical piece in The Atlantic against him, but he later came to support him. Vance launched his first political campaign for Ohio’s Senate seat in 2021 and won the Republican nomination after being endorsed by Trump. He defeated Democratic nominee Tim Ryan in the general election.

He also called him an idiot, noxious and, well , see for yourself.

The fact that the ccc uses matrix as their official chat “app” doesn’t imply that it is inherently insecure I would say.

My advice is try using existing documents with Libre office. You can install it on windows as well.

I use Linux for over twenty years now and installed windows on a vm last week to Wirte my resume. Libre office is fine, you run into problems when opening and editing existing ms office documents. At least that is my experience.

But give Libre office on windows a shot, see if you like it.

They even have a dedicated piece of hardware for it.

Yes and no. If your isp is still providing unencrypted DNS for you, then they can still see the domain name you’re visiting.

Look into vlan.

Basically allows you to have different subnets rubbing on a physical network card.

It is possible what you want to do and not that complicated.

Hmm, maybe. Depends on the infrastructure they put up. If there is a separate domain for the telemetry, then you can block it. Still no guarantee that it still works though.

The app will need internet access to login though. That really is a cat and mouse game that is not worth your time I’d say.

Not OP, but here are my 2 cents. You can’t really go wrong with that degree imho. Even if you only land an entry level job at the beginning, you can quickly advance from there. You just to have keep learning.

If you haven’t done so already, get a raspberry pi, install docker, get used to how it works. Destroy everything, start over. Get another pi, learn kubernetes.

You can stand out and succeed if you can learn and adapt to new technologies. The system doesn’t matter, it’s how you approach it.

Beat of luck to you!

Sorry for the late reply. I just wanted to day Thanks for posting this. I’ll have a look in the next couple of days and see what I can achieve.

Have a good weekend!

Any good ressources you used for the wireguard VPS stuff? Still on my bucket list.

Reolink ist the way to go. I think only the battery powered ones don’t have onvif. Otherwise the poe cameras all support onvif and are generally of very good quality. Plug it in and of you go. EDIT: Forgot to mention: You can configure the camera via the web interface, so no need for an app. I’m using the 820 at the moment, but I’m planning to get the new trackmix camera, these look really good.

Thanks. This definitely goes onto the pile of things I’ll build at the new house.

Nope, that doesn’t sound right.

I just tried all of your use cases and it works for me every time, HA in the foreground, background, closed; the command changes to the HA app and the right page.

One thing you should check: Android Settings, Apps, Special app access, Display over other apps, -> make sure home assistant is enabled here. If that doesn’t help I’m out of ideas and suggestions for the moment.

Not OP, but most people are using load sensors under the bed frame with an esp or raspberry.

I was curious about this so I tested it on my systems. Path refers to the part after your domain. So, if your settings page is available under https://homeassistant.mydomain.com/config/dashboard (check with your desktop or mobile browser to get the exact URL, then you would use “/config/dashboard” as your path setting. Same for any lovelace dashboard, check the URL in your browser, if it is https://homeassistant.mydomain.com/lovelace-mobile/0, then use “/lovelace-mobile/0” as the path argument. lovelace-mobile is the dashboard part, 0 corresponds to the tab.

Hope this helps!

there are basically endless possibilities I’d say.

• logitech media server with squeeebox clients
• snapcast
• mpd with mopidy
• moodeaudio
• home assistant with one of the integrations.
• plenty more I’m sure

That being said, I would recommend jellyfin over emby.

Easiest route you could go is setup a systemd timer which runs every 5 mins, pings an ip and write the result into a logfile. that way you have a timestamp for the problem start without going all out with monitoring.

Good luck!

Since you’re not really sure what the issue is, check all the logfiles around the time the problem starts. maybe you’ll see a service stopping or starting.

This might not be applicable to your use case, but maybe it helps.

Couple of years ago I had a problem where ONE windows laptop was unable to access the internet. Sometimes it would work right away, sometimes it took 1 or 2 reboots, sometimes the damn thing wouldn’t budge.

lo and behold, it turns out the windows laptop was assigned a DHCP address that one linksys router had as a static ip. Why that resulted in a sporadic error and not a constant one I’ll never know.

So next time you have this issue, rip out the network cable from the server and try to ping the ip the server is supposed to have.

Other than that, check the journal if something start to pop up around the time you experience the problem.
