Haven't used it yet, but Proton has a beta desktop app that might be what you're looking for.
I don't know of anything built for that purpose but you could use home assistant dashboards to pull it off pretty easily if you already have an instance set up.
You'll be glad to learn that rumor was actually just a joke. It came from a joke TWiD post that went the rounds on Reddit and YouTube but isn't real. Don't worry, Kotick isn't joining Bungie.
I'll let folks with more security experience dive into your specific question, but another option is to host your website on something like Github pages (using a static website generator like Jekyll) and point Cloudflare at it. That way you don't need anything pointed at your local network, get the uptime of Github, and still benefit from your own domain name.
That's what I'm doing with my own blog and it's been great. Github provides the service for free but if they ever charge for it I'll just start hosting it locally.
Yeah I have AT&T and had to set up IP passthrough on their router/gateway box. Basically it makes it so the ISP provided router acts as if it isn't there and my router gets to do whatever it wants.
I've used Joplin for a while and it's solid.
Just jumping in to say I had the same thing. Deleted account and got that same email.
Most people don't appreciate link posts without summaries of the content. I'm one of these people. I don't like clicking links unless I know at least an idea of what's on the other side of the link. Is it worth my time? Is it worth my attention? Providing summaries of linked content gives a start to the conversation and keeps us from turning this forum into a clickbait-filled platform.
I love all the local firmware swaps people are doing these days. I'm waiting on the day I can swap all my Google Homes to be Home Assistant powered. It'll probably (almost certainly) require a hardware swap to an ESP32 but I'll do it anyway as long as it's pretty straightforward.
I'm using the Piper addon in Home Assistant and want to have multiple voices for various usecases (one for assistant and one for security alerts, etc.). In the "Voice assistants" settings you can configure various personas for Assist to use and there are dropdowns for different voices too select when using Piper (see attached image). However, that dropdown only has a single voice which you configure in the Piper addon configuration. Is there a way to configure multiple voices to the Piper addon at the same time? I can only seem to get one working at a time.
Look at the Libre Computer boards. I got a Le Potato for 35usd last year and it's been rock solid. Seems to be about the same performance as a RBP 3B.
A really interesting alternative to the "profit at the expense of all else" model is a worker coop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worker_cooperative
I really hope these make a resurgence.
I'm looking for some good bookshelf speakers to fit into this small shelf. This is a media console that sits underneath the TV in our living room. I'm thinking if I get some speakers that are fairly slim I could lay them on their side. The size of the shelf is shown in the attached picture and there's an equivalent shelf on the other side of the console. Any recommendations?
I'd recommend looking at the Wyoming/Piper/Rhasspy system. There's some really good minds working on it and it's got a big community behind it already. It's also plug and play with Home Assistant which is awesome. It's the system I use and while I'm still fine tuning it for my use cases it's already pretty great.
