I looked at Epyc because I wanted to bandwidth to run u.2 drives at full speed and it wasn't until Epyc or Threadripper that you could get much more than 40 lanes in a single socket. I've got to find another way to saturate 10g and give up on 25g. My home automation is run on a Home Assistant Yellow and works perfectly, for what it does.

I ended up going with tailscale. Every other option exposed my secret services to the Internet, even if behind a password. Tailscale was ridiculously easy to set up too. The docker compose I used had Heimdall in it too so I was able put all my links on there. Procedure is connect with tailscale app -> go to http://illegalshit -> click/tap on relevant link. I might pull back on my Nginx proxy targets and port forwards for this more secure system.

What happens if tailscale goes down though?

Late reply but yeah, Wifi was a nightmare on Proxmox. It was a tiny e-waste SFF pc so I was able to wedge it near the other servers. The cluster is happy.

I had previously run HA on a Raspberry Pi with Z-Wave, Sonoff, and some Hue, years and years ago. After searching for a Zigbee (since that seems to be the current standard and I'm starting over) adaptor that was HA compatible, I saw they offered their own hardware. After 18 months of waiting, I figured it would "just work." Anyway, I reimaged over USB-C and it's working. I'll definitely do a backup before doing my first software update now that I have something to lose.

I had to reimage through serial/USB then the Raspi OS properly downloaded the current image. Thanks for the links getting me in the right neighborhood.

You can remove 4'5'8 from the far right cells in the middle box. With the 3 and 6 solved. You know that those four cells (2, 4, 5, and 8) only contain that, so the other ones (the 3 cells in the right) cannot.

Also, the top line from the bottom group.. the 4,5,8 trio is there too. That will clear out those numbers from any cells that may also have 4,5,8 on that line.

As I recall, when I turned off location tracking my time zone would be wrong. It's frustrating that you lose out when protecting your privacy.

The rabbit hole took me from Airtable to Baserow (which I have up and running but with the built in DB) but now need to make a viewer for the people. So the next step is visualizing the events list and filtering by day and whatever is needed to get useful info from the DB.

Thanks. Some screenshot of a tweet isn't a source, but what you posted was.

Is there a source that doesn't require me log into Twitter?

Upvote for Pebble. It was the best of all time. I could operate the buttons without even looking.

Pebble Time. It was the best ever until the battery swelled. My Fitbit Versa 2 was good until the battery gave out. My latest Fitbit has worse software with less features than the last and I hate it. There are no apps available anymore.
