You have exactly summed up my views. I currently have a 2020 MY and it convinced me that I probably won’t buy another ICE vehicle. With all the crap coming out of Tesla and Musk lately, I also can’t imagine getting another Tesla.

I’m just waiting for NACS to be built in and hoping today’s layoff news doesn’t ruin that as well…

Out of curiosity, why cant you use a wildcard?

I haven’t tried it but it can theoretically support webdav. You can also mount it read only via fuse with a bit of effort.

Those are both on my list of things to experiment with. I love the speed but I miss the real files of NextCloud.

Internet.bs because it’s cheap and had a cctld I wanted

This is what I do. DAVx5 works well as long as you’re ok withiut realtime sync (you can pick how fast you want it). I would love to see Fastmail build the support I to their own app but that’s not where we’re at.

I’m also using Dozzle and it’s been great for semi realtime use. I occasionally think about something for longer term logs but haven’t yet had the motivation.

My main use case for voice is for things that I haven’t been able to (reasonably) automate. For a couple of examples:

1. Saying “turn on the TV” as I’m grabbing lunch and walking across the room
2. “Turn on/off the stars” for bedroom mood lighting
3. “Timer for x” is honestly probably the most used things.

It’s all fairly trivial stuff to do manually but I think that’s probably true for the vast majority of home automation.

I have two libraries for movies because my home theater can let 4k + HDR shine while my Internet connection doesn’t have the upload to send that to family. They get stuck with 1080 and have never complained. My server has the power to transcode on the fly but for now I have the free space to keep both.

TV is almost entirely 1080 unless there is a super good reason to upgrade past that. I’m not actually sure if I’ve ever done that.

VSCode in HA is primarily useful for editing config files and with all the latest pushes towards config in the UI it’s not as useful as it used to be. That said, it does integrate with HA to provide completion for entities and some basic yaml validation.

I also use it to work on ESPhome configs as well as some simple file management. I never got SSH working correctly on the HA VM and VSCode has been a convenient workaround.

This may be one of the only times I’ve seen a cat doing something silly and making it look hard

I really enjoyed it, especially after reading the author notes. It’s obviously not a “great literary work” but it’s a good quick bit of fun.

This is the answer. I have a handful of notifications setup this way. My routing logic tends to be much simpler but that’s what “choose” is for.

The only tricky one may be to hold the notifications until later. I probably wouldn’t bother with that personally. Instead I use the do not disturb functionality on the phone.

Did you try flipping the cable over? Some of the ports or cables that use USB C are super cheaply made and get rid of the flippability.

Which is part of the problem…

I also seem to be a member of the ancient society of log readers.

I really don’t understand why membership is so exclusive. Deciphering log messages isn’t always super easy but it usually isn’t too bad.
