I do this too, with Pi Hole as well.

I once got smoked trout as a Christmas bonus, the year before that a 250g bag of coffee.

Now I work for a company that looks after it's employees, we had pizza like 3 times just before Christmas. One order was for about 50 pizzas for about 80 staff

I can recomment OVH for domains and DNS hosting, I use them and have not had any issues setting up custom DNS records. Also they have an API that will allow you to get certificates with certbot and lets encrypt, even a wildcard.

no, its based on kodi. but there are themes you could try

have a look at OSMC, you write it to the Pi SD card and it gives you Kodi all setup and ready use. you can even use your TV remote to control it

great job, I didnt go the self install route.But used HASSOS. The best thing I have had with HA is setting up a broadlink socket, the app could not connect. Turns out HA has seen them an linked up, blocking the app

Yes, that's the badger. They have a vast amount of built-in functions, also can be all local. I was using mqtt to access mine, but have switched to the home assistant integration

You could have a look at a shelly 1L that might do it, put the shelly in the light fitting and wire the switches in to it

Have also updated, seemed to be broke. But a restart seems to have fixed it, no change to config needed

this is a command I use to get the local weather

    
/usr/bin/curl -s \
  --form-string "monospace=1" \
  --form-string "token=YOURTOKENHERE" \
  --form-string "user=YOUR USERID"  \
  --form-string "title=$(/usr/bin/curl -sk wttr.in/melksham | grep "Weather report")" \
  --form-string "message=$(/usr/bin/curl -sk curl wttr.in/melksham?0ATQF)" \

me too, pushover for the win

Windows subsystem for Linux, before they did that thing with Ubuntu.

I had to VPN to a server, then RDP to another server and then a webby RDP to a server with WSL to run a java command line web application. It was the most descusting thing I have ever done

Shudders in WSL!

I had to use that when I supported windows servers running WSL many years ago, did not like it want to use it

I use nextcloud for a lot of stuff, so added the news app. In that I have a lot of GitHub repos I want to know get updated and things like the register and BBC news UK.

Edit: that also have a mobile app for just the RSS feeds

Can confirm that nextcloud photo back is for the most part rock solid, they have had some issues when Android changes something and that mess up the process.

But I took have been running it for years, of your nextcloud install is ropey then your photo sync will be.

Looks like this

We've been using brown paper for our kids for a long time, and yes that's a wax seal

They both looks great, think I would pick the top one

Yeah, we give the biscuits for the reindeer

I have that setup, my domain is hosted by OVh and they have an API that you can use to get a wildcard certificate with.

At home I run pihole and that has some sites in as local IPs, but if you look the same site up from OVH you would get an internet IP
