Probably any ISP that advertises “super duper extra special wifi” when it’s just a set of QoS rules.

Currently trying YunoHost now, though for some reason it says my GMKtec G9 has a MMC/Micro SD?

That’s because it does have eMMC storage - 64GB worth (I went and looked at their product page). “eMMC” storage is the exact same type of storage that SD cards use. eMMC storage devices pop up in Linux as /dev/mmcblkX (generally X = 0 for single devices), with their partitions tagged on the end of that device as p1, p2, etc.

Windows 7

It was never set in stone until the 2000 election.

Two-way audio is what I’m currently struggling with. I’ve got a Wyze Doorbell v1 that will be loaded with Thingino to replace my Ring doorbell. Hopefully I can get it figured out.

I have individual, manually controlled electric heaters in each room.

Congrats, this thread isn’t for you.

Belkin was the go-to brand for iPod accessories in the 2000s. I had more than a few Belkin accessories for my 5th gen Video.

Now that I think about it, I still have a wireless remote control with the iPod attachment hanging around somewhere, but I don’t remember if it was Belkin or something else… 🤔

Edit: Fuck me, apparently any records of it online have dropped off the face of the earth. I’ll dig it out when I get home, I know where it is.

I have to wonder if permanently losing the enthusiast/early adopter demographic is going to cause more damage in the long run than the cost of keeping those servers running.

They don’t care, because that was never the point. The point was collecting your data and selling it. The 1g/2g units clearly didn’t collect enough data. They make way more money doing that.

Depends how it’s implemented.

For example: I’m in the process of replacing my Wyze wifi bulbs with ThirdReality Zigbee bulbs (only 3 left to swap).

What I do is remove the Wyze bulb from the Wyze app, then go into HA and refresh the Wyze integration which removes the bulb’s entities from HA. Then I’ll do the physical replacement, pair the Zigbee bulb with HA, give it the exact same name as the Wyze bulb (this is key), then go check the automation(s). Haven’t had any issues with that so far.

Oh, I rename the entity, too.

Debian for sure. It’s the Toyota 4Runner of the operating system world:

• Older but proven tech that just chugs right along.
• Not a ton of features out of the box, but supported by basically everything aftermarket.
• Major updates, while slow but regular, bring a lot of improvements - most of which are under the hood.

I just rename them if they are moved

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I like zigbee hardware, personally. I have lots of RGB bulbs all over the house, door sensors, motion sensors, and some buttons. I really like that they don’t rely on wifi and can still function just fine without an internet connection.

As far as what to run HA on - Grab a tiny/mini/micro PC and run HA on that. That’s the Lenovo Thinkcentre Tiny, Dell Optiplex Micro, and HP Elitedesk Mini. They are rather powerful for what they are, cheaply had, and don’t take up a ton of space.

Oh cool! Just gonna add that real quick… falls down rabbit hole again

The shelf is fine, it was like that when I bought it (new). But I am definitely considering reinforcement.

I would absolutely buy this just to fuck with it and see if I could get an RTSP stream.

Ah, klugerblickdummkopf

Oh for sure. I’ve got a handful of SFFs and mini PCs making up my little “homelab”:

(Yes, that’s the furnace. No, it’s not hot there. Ever. I’ve checked on it many, many times.)

I’ve also got another pair of Optiplex 9020s, an Optiplex 3040, and my old trusty HP Elite 8100 SFF w/8300 SFF mobo, i7-3770/32GB, and modded BIOS that supports booting from NVMe (via it.s M.2 PCIe card). Those are sitting in the closet just taking up space at the moment.

eBay supplied the 7050 and the mini PCs. My sister gave me the other Optiplexen from her work office.

A 35W i7-7700T mini PC from 2017 will absolutely spank a modern N150 in single and multi–threaded applications, and uses very little extra power to do so.

Mini PC is the way to go.
