Just an Aussie tech guy - home automation, ESP gadgets, networking. Also love my camping and 4WDing.

Be a good motherfucker. Peace.

  • It all comes down to what you trust each type of device to do and how you want to handle their traffic.

    I have seven VLANs, with each one's traffic being treated very specifically. The subnets for each VLAN route to specific interfaces on a virtualised OPNsense firewall, which is where my traffic handling and policy enforcement takes place.

    Also remember VLANs are just plain useful for segregating traffic, particularly broadcast traffic, without having to invest in separate switching/routing for each subnet. Having a single managed switch that limits the broadcast domains for you is a really efficient way to (physically) setup your network.

  • Aaargh! Audible did this to the Stephen King Dark Tower series. Don't get me wrong - Frank Muller did OK in the books he read, but George Guidall (books 1, 5, 6 & 7) has an almost Johnny Cash quality to his voice, that just made his reading really fantastic to listen to.

  • Anything Fry does is just pure gold. I loved his 7 Deadly Sins podcast series .

  • Sort of. I respect your right to have an opinion, but I'll respect the opinion a lot more if backed by facts and data.

  • It should be climate action. Not saying it will be - just that it should be.

  • Yep. I get all that, but that’s not an option with my employer.

    I’m comfortable with the separation I have, and iOS is key to part of that satisfaction.

  • Yep - not sure what point you're making, though?

    A commercial use is one primarily intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation

    My phone isn't used "primarily for commercial advantage or monetary compensation". It's my own phone that my company reimburses me some of the monthly cost of running, for being able to use it to contact me.

  • I have an always-on Wireguard VPN, and use my Piholes at home. So far, so good!

  • I need to use my phone for work, which means I can’t use custom ROMs due to our BYOD policies.

    For me, iOS is still by far the better option, especially as I use privacy-respecting apps and services (Firefox, self-hosted Immich, etc).

  • After 10 years on Android, I just switched back. Because I admire Apple's commitment to privacy, and simply don't trust Google any more.

  • That moment with Nolte in the hotel room. Holy. Shit.

  • Jesus - I thought COVID wiped all these twits out already.

  • Warrior - chock-full of powerful emotions at just the right points, and a really, really good "underdog rises to the top" storyline.

  • fknlol - like people WFH are working from their bed. I can't think of a more uncomfortable location for my to do my job from. Except the office five days a week of course...

  • Ah, got it. Thanks - this makes a lot of sense now. Looks like it's so the HAOS Supervisor container can manage all the things that, in theory, I already handle myself with external tools.

    Cheers!

  • I've been a user of the GTD method for many, many years, so any app I use needs to be GTD-specific.

    Currently, I'm using Nirvana - have been for about 6 years. I like it so much, I paid for the lifetime sub, so haven't really bothered to look elsewhere since.

  • Interesting about the backups bit. The functionality's there in the UI to create backups, so kinda weird you can't restore them. Like most docker containers, my HA config sits on a bind mount, and I just back that up nightly.

    When you say add-ons, are there specific ones I'm missing out on? I have HACS, and frequently install all manner of integrations and front-end Lovelace add-ons.

  • Ah, gotcha. Thanks for that.

  • Sorry - not sure what you mean? I use HACS in my setup. Are there extra features in HACS when running HAOS?
