Create a cloud flare accounts and change the name servers at you current registrars to what cloudflare gives you when you try to migrate. Its best practice to split up registrar and DNS anyway. then create an API token so your reverse proxy can build records and certbot a new cert.

What’s a computer, Mom? I have Gnome!

Oh god, my eyes…

Zorin is nothing but marketing bullshit, and ripping off OSS and branding it.

What rock do you live under if you’re using MySQL over MariaDB?

Thx!

Kubuntu is a buggy mess every time I’ve tried it over the last decade, which is probably half a dozen times. Pretty much anything else seems to handle Plasma fine, Fedora has been the least hassle one of the lot. And I’ve used Linux for over 25 years.

I was hoping to see a price on the Frame but I imagine with RAM prices going apeshit they’re putting that off for a bit.

I was just curious what functions you were running on the PC that you wanted to control via HA.

That’s a good solution. What is your PC controls yaml if it isn’t too private?

The overlap irritates the hell out of me. The context is usually close enough to make it confusing as hell for a while.

Dead simple, same as the update process, just a bigger download. I’ve never used the Gnome spin, but the KDE spin hasn’t given me a problem in the last couple years.

Remote (VNC/RDP) support from startup

That is huge.

And more fucking shit in the left navbar that doesn’t belong there, I’d imagine.

I know what you mean. Trying to get automations working in HA annoys me, I’m way more comfortable in Node Red. I find HA a good way to get the devices into the system and display data, then NodeRed to actually do my automations. So much more you can do in there.

If you’re on the same install that long you might never have seen them. Iirc the only thing you’d get 10 years ago was overview and maybe Map. Now it’s got a dozen stupid headings you have to turn off, it’s confusing and silly. Some of them are completely empty with no obvious way of using them, like Climate.

They do on a new install as long as I can remember. Maybe you turned them off in Settings and forgot? I haven’t seen anything that will turn them off for you, other than maybe adding something to configuration.yaml that does it.

IKR, wow, 32 GB of DDR5 ram (at today’s prices) being run by a gerbil wheel.

I’ve installed wayland based DEs on all sorts of cheap-shit, 2013 era hardware and never have a problem. IDK what sort of janky crap it takes to have to run X11 still. A 90s SpeakNSpell?

If you get a camera that is ONVIF compatible, you won’t need an app to set it up. Vikylin, amcrest are a couple I’ve used.

Use tailscale to access your cameras, don’t portforward them. They are pathetically terrible for security.
