  • I used mostly this, but had to customize it a bit I think to get things working right. NUT feels like a super finicky system, but in the end it does work. My biggest issue right now is that it only reports a new status update to Home Assistant every few minutes, so the actions don't really get a chance to trigger before the server shuts down. It also shuts down with the UPS at way too high of a percentage remaining, so I need to figure out how to make it wait just a little bit longer before the power down. It wants to power off like < 2 minutes after the power goes out...

  • I've got a project to look forward to. Have my Proxmox server with a UPS, running NUT to watch the battery percentage and power down gracefully if the % gets too low. I have Home Assistant watching that so it's supposed to notify me before that happens. It's not notifying me though, so I gotta look into that. I know it's not working this morning because the power went out, so now I'm just sitting here theorizing instead of actually looking at it. 🙃

  • When I switched to Firefox a while back, I also switched to using the Tree Style Tabs extension. It gives you vertical tabs which can be nested like a folder structure. I found it's way more convenient to know which tab was spawned from a parent tab, and keep similar tabs all in one little grouping. In my opinion, it's even better than Chrome's tab grouping. I lose a tiny amount of screen real estate along the left side of the browser, but it really didn't take long at all to get used to, and now I vastly prefer it.

  • Hah! I just recently got to switch off Comcast to a newer local fiber company. Comcast emailed and texted me for weeks telling me to return their equipment that I never had, but even their website showed I had nothing to return so I ignored it. Eventually the emails changed to "you've been charged", so I called to complain. They assured me that I wasn't actually charged, and then realized they owed me a prorated refund since I cancelled in the middle of a billing cycle. They absolutely weren't going to give that back unless I called.

  • I just set my domain email up with Zoho. Was easy enough and they have a free option. Although I pay $1.25/mo per user for two users, just to get a little extra storage space and be able to use SMTP and ActiveSync to send email from my servers for notifications and use a different mobile app than their default one.

  • This will be down voted, but I also tried a bunch of launchers and never found one I liked better than Nova. I ended up installing TrackerControl and Nova has its internet connection fully disabled. It doesn't need Internet for any features I use, so I felt like this was a good compromise, personally. I ended up starting to block trackers in all my apps now because of it, so I see it as a net win.

  • Tracker Control on Android works well for system-wide tracker and ad blocking, and you can configure custom blocking rules per-app. Works without root by using a VPN profile (but no data leaves your device via the VPN, it just routes the traffic through this app).
