I was going by sorting tldlist by renewal price but I see now the price doesn’t match. .link is cheap to renew.

I would spend the money on a domain. There’s lots of new TLDs to choose from and some are cheap. A .stream domain is $3.99 at namesilo as is .link.

If you have carpet you can get a flat Ethernet cable and tuck it around the border. That’s how I have mine set up because my ONT is in the closet.

You can connect the ecobee to home assistant using HomeKit which runs local. I’ve got a nest and google once got rid of the api over a year before having a replacement ready so anything local is no go with them.

From the release notes for October:

Even more exciting news, as this is Home Assistant’s year of the voice: Chapter 4 of this endeavor has been announced and will be streamed live on YouTube on 12 October 2023, at 12:00 PDT / 21:00 CEST! Be sure to tune in! I’ve seen some early demos… All I’m going to say is: It is mind-blowing! 🤯

Live stream link is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzgYYkOrnhQ

Home assistant is working on a voice assistant but it’s not done yet. They’re supposed to announce progress on a YouTube live stream on the 12th.

Make sure the description says the power cable is included. They usually take the kind of power supply older laptops took and when I bought a thin client to run home assistant the price difference between ones without and ones with the adapter was way less than buying the adapter myself.

Ubuntu 22.04 with Lemmy Easy deploy because I’m lazy.

Thirding vultr. Their control panel is great and I’ve been running my Lemmy instance on it for a few months with no issues. You can have automatic backups for an extra 20% as well.

Will that screw up displaying things that would be cached from other instances?

It sucks there’s no way to make use of the current csam blocklists except possibly if you’re a big enough instance since you can’t get access without approval. Instances going through cloudflare that use the cloudflare caching can use it through them but it only works on images it’s serving so wouldn’t block them being uploaded, just served to other instances.

Check how much business internet would cost, there’s usually no data caps.

They weren’t using docker and the Plex software was multiple years out of data:

The shortcoming, which was discovered and reported to Plex by Tenable in March 2020, was addressed by Plex in version 1.19.3.2764 released on May 7, 2020. The current version of Plex Media Server is 1.31.1.6733.

“Unfortunately, the LastPass employee never upgraded their software to activate the patch,” Plex said in a statement. “For reference, the version that addressed this exploit was roughly 75 versions ago.”

Are you using cloudflare? I had this problem and it was because I had rocket launcher enabled.

I don’t remember what project it was our what my suggestion was but a few years ago I posted a suggestion on GitHub and got a nasty response from the developer saying it was a crappy idea and attacking me. They didn’t state WHY they thought it was a bad idea. Very childish. I haven’t posted suggestions since then.

Same, my stuff continuing to work relies on thoughts and prayers.

I have the same setup. You just need to make sure the domain info is private when you first register it because if the whois history is cached somewhere and your info was public before then it can still be found.

.movie is $215/yr 😱

I just went through the list of catchy tlds to find one that wasnt $30+ when renewal came up and then went with whatever short domain I could come up with.

As someone said don’t set allowed hosts, leave it blank. Only use the blacklist (I recommend blocking exploding heads).

What version are you running?
