I went to proton about a year ago, and I don't love it. I'm not ready to leave yet, but I'll tell you to do as much research as you can and consider a paid service if you have to. I wish I had.
I did that for about 6 months, mostly to see how good the detection was in frigate (new 0.15.0 release last week, fyi) when I first got it running but the novelty wore off.
I see people in line at the grocery store watching their family watch TV in their living room. That's creepy to me.
I saw a lot of people out of propane in the 2 weeks after Helene. Propane should be a strategic reserve- natural gas should be the primary for generator fuel and heating. Let someone else store it.
The door locks are often wax motors, which extend pretty quick when heated but have to cool off to release. The re-lock sounds like a huge wtf. Couldn't they just limit the tumble rpm so they don't have to lock?
I ditched my front load petri dish for a 10 year old Speed Queen top loader off marketplace. No regerts.
I've had wemos d1 boards from AliExpress show up as a brltty and the braille teletype driver grabs the device. Just something to look out for on some distros
