I made an automated sandwich maker. The automation turns it on, sets a timer, shows the timer on tv, turns it off when the timer goes off, pauses the tv and turns lights in kitchen on, if after sunset. Ridiculous? Jup. But also super cool.
Once I had a few door bell tasters from a custom pc build laying around. I drilled a small hole in closet next to my couch, put the taster in it, soldered it to a cheap esp, flashed tasmota on it and used it to trigger some automations. Nowadays I would use esphome.
Car? Looks more like a tank. Who besides of farmers and woodworkers needs such big cars?
I run pihole without any problems as a docker container. I assume you want to ask how well it works to add custom records, because that’s what you usually do with a dns server.
Adding single records with the web ui works just fine. However, adding wildcards isn’t possible. So you end up attaching a terminal to your container and adding dnsmasq configs yourself. This is a bit poor.
On the other hand: How often do you need to add wildcards? I needed like 2 entries since I set up pihole a few years ago.
Yay! Snowflakes! ^-^/
Wow! This sounds super handy! Thanks for sharing!
Pre-11 windows was at least less buggier than Mac OS. But I agree: It’s a big pain too! Linux just works better for me.
I don’t use Bazzite. But if you have any pro arguments for Brew, feel free to share them. Change my mind.
I feel you. Once I was forced to code on a mac too. It made me insane ☠️
May be a sign to install Linux 😏 brew sucks anyways
My internet provider offers up to 4 sim cards per account. They cost once 10€, without a monthly fee. However they have only 300mb of high speed traffic. But this should be just fine for a tracker, no? Just have a look in your customer portal. Maybe you’ll find something there too
To be honest I like this behavior. I haven’t enabled the hot word, so this is a really convenient way to launch the assistant. (It doesn’t has to be the google assistant btw)
Welcomes! Btw: If you want to make it even slimmer, you can also remove features. Or you add some if wanted (like tilting, if your cover supports it).
I just use a tile card. Simple, but great!
- type: horizontal-stack
cards:
- type: tile
entity: cover.wohnzimmer_rollo_links
features:
- type: "cover-open-close"
- type: "cover-position"
- type: tile
entity: cover.wohnzimmer_rollo_rechts
features:
- type: "cover-open-close"

If you want to start cheap, I can recommend you to use an old notebook. In my opinion it’s the perfect home server for beginners.
Most services don’t need much. So it’s just fine if your “server” is like 10 years old. My first notebook server had 2 cores and 4 GB ram and it run Proxmox with like 10 lxc containers just fine.
I’m using MusicBrainz Picard. However there are some tricks to spare you some nerves:
It’s a jungle out there 🎶
That’s a cool approach! Reminds me of the old Napster 🤓
My Ubiquity Dream Machine has Wireguard integrated. So it’s literally just a few clicks to spin up a server. I use it in combination with a port forward on my FritzBox and a dyn ip using https://dynv6.com/ and a domain i had laying around anyways.
Regarding Wireguard: Wireguards (imho) best feature is split tunneling. You can decide which ips or subnets to route through the tunnel. See
AllowedIPs.As a default it says something like
AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0Which means “just route everything through me”.
However you could allow your subnets only. Like this I use my private and my business vpn at the same time.
AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.0/24,10.0.1.0/24,10.0.2.0/24,10.0.3.0/24You mentioned, that you have not a lot experience with networking, so your subnet may look like that. Just check your local ip and replace the last digit with
0/24AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.0/24
