• Domain and DNS service: 30€/year
• VPS: 128€/year
• Usenet indexer: 15$/year
• Cloud storage for backup: 350€ + 280€ one time payments for 4TB total.

My proposal: cancel YouTube premium, donate $1 to Smart Tube developer, donate $1 to Firefox. ublock origin doesn’t accept donations as far as I know.

Be careful before uploading your config files to a public location like GitHub, you don’t want to inadvertently publish some secrets like passwords, API keys and such. A copy to an external drive should do the trick just fine as a starting point.

It’s strange how this article mentions she is pro-palestiniens and forgot to mention she is from Palestinian decent. Overall this article doesn’t provide much information about what has happened and why. Which tweet were used to accuse her ?

Additional stuff you may be interested in:

Caddy for reverse proxy (accessing your services with a nice URL instead of IP address and port numbers)

PiHole for DNS-level ad-blocking and other useful router functionality

Look for a backup solutions for your config files, maybe you can handle this at Proxmox level but I don’t have experience with that.

Do you have a good alternative to recommend? I also found that lidarr sorta sucks compared to sonarr and radarr

Hi! I recently started with home automation myself. Despite already having a home server, I decided to get a dedicated Raspberry Pi 5 4GB to run home assistant by itself. OpenHAB should work just as well on the RPi5.

I’ve got Zigbee and Matter over Thread connectivity using 2x Aeotec Zi-Stick dongles, one flashed with OpenThread firmware, instructions on their forum. It was not the best solution to use the same dongle for both protocols as it’s recognized with the same device name in Home Assistant and I had to use my Linux skills to work around that. You can easily get 2 zigbee dongles from different brands, check ahead which ones provide an easy OpenThread flashing solution. I think the Sonoff dongle is another one of these.

I’ve recently started with home assistant on a pi as well. Today I have 2 zigbee relay for my lights from Sonoff, 2 zigbee fire alarms, 1 wifi plug from Shelly and 3 Ikea remotes working on Matter over Thread.

Basically, any protocol you want to support other than wifi and Bluetooth will need a dedicated radio device. Luckily they are all pretty well supposed with home assistant. I have 2 Aeotec Zi-stick, one for Zigbee, the other flashed with OpenThread firmware (that’s for Matter over Thread, it wasn’t a good idea to buy twice the same device, I had to work around this issue). I don’t have Z-wave devices today, as I noticed they tend to be more expensive that the zigbee equipment. The new IKEA smart devices are very competitive in terms of price, they all work on Matter over Thread protocol.

In the end, you don’t need to choose. You can support all these protocols on the same raspberry pi. It’s just a matter of adding the corresponding radio and integration in home assistant.

• pihole: DNS ad-blocker abd also a DNS (and optionally DHCP) server for your home
• Wireguard: VPN very simple to setup, for remote access to your services from outside your home. What I do: wireguard is running (as a server) on a VPS, with all the security measures in place (ssh password login turn off, firewall bocks everything but wireguard and ssh connection changed to another port, failban) then my NAS at home connects to this VPS, as well as my phone, laptop, etc.
• Caddy: reverse proxy to address your service using your domain, it’s easy to setup, actually it’s the only reverse proxy I managed to setup successfully 😅. You can use the Nameservers from your domain provider to point to your NAS via the wireguard IP address for connection from the outside, and Pihole DNS to point to local IP address when at home.

Fine all US big-tech companies out of the EU, let people pirate their services without repercussions until a EU replacements emerges ?

I have some problem with this proposal:

1. These drugs are around also, you know, for sick people who need them. It is the case of my mom who has multi sclerosis and the only pain killer effective on her is known as a rape drug.
2. Chemical submission can be achieved with a wide range of things, most commonly use it probably alcohol, regular drinks such as wine and beer. Attempting chemical submission with those shouldn’t fly under the radar of justice!
3. I think it would be much more effective to amend the law in order for all cases of chemicals submission (with or without rape) and rapes to be brought to justice
4. A big issue that is ignored with this proposal is, victims often don’t report the aggression or don’t complete the full procedure. Police and Justice system personnel must be better trained about these cases of rape and rape with chemical submission in order for the victims to be able to report their aggression without feeling judgement or shame through out the entire process, from the police report until the conclusion of the court.

Google maps isn’t only satellite images, it uses also a lot of photoshoot from airplanes.

It always makes me clench my teeth when I read things like “Bayrou is center”. Anyone who negotiates with RN or appoints B.Rotailleau to their government, is a fascist and definitely not center.

That’s horrible and properly terrifying. My condolences to the families of the victims. I hope the investigation leads to improving the safety of the funicular so that they can put it back in service. It’s such an important feature of the city.

School bullying in China is systemic and perpetrated by students, teachers and parents alike.

Looking at your down vote count, it’s pretty clear most people outside of France don’t know who François Bayrou is. He is indeed a disgusting lying magot. Even though I agree with him about the US-EU deal, this doesn’t make him less of a coward, lying, fascist facilitator and religious extremist.

My router (shit one provided by the carrier) is restarting frequently, I think due to overheating

There is more France could do though. Like for example, stop selling metric tones of weapons to Israel. Or again, recognize Palestine as a state, Macron is thinking real hard about it, but he is not quite ready to make a call apparently 🤷

Finally some good fucking news !

I suppose all the planes where fully tanked up and ready to fly in order to be so flammable. I wonder if the damages would be so bad if a plan would be empty of fuel ?

Also, why do they put tires on top ?
