Care to share any more details? Looks very aesthetically pleasing. I think I should make one themed around my cat.

If I had to only pick one that is by far Home Assistant.

Don’t be ridiculous, I would never make the phone call directly from the Thinkpad. I would just install Asterisk on the Thinkpad and then use it as a PBX where the cell module acts as the voice gateway. And then make the call via Linphone on my mobile device connected to the Thinkpad over WiFi.

Tailscale also has Funnel.

NextDNS is a good option for your use case. It allows you to block entire categories of websites and even has an option to setup a schedule on when you are allowed to access them. It also has blocklists you can pick from and the ability to blacklist and whitelist individual domains. And the free plan is very generous. You can just try it and see how it works for you.

if your going that route.

I see what you did there.

“I don’t need to, I have it stored all in my head.”

Famous last words.

Same here, Debian since Squeeze. A couple of years ago I just decided to go a step further and go with Kicksecure. Which is basically just hardened Debian.

Do you remember that time Netflix removed [insert series title]? I basically have my own private version of Netflix. That way nobody can take my favorite series away from me without warning.

I built a home server based on an Intel N100 motherboard a while ago. I’ve put proxmox on it and run my Home Assistant installation, Nextcloud, several other stuff and even my router as an OpenWRT VM!

I chose to go the N100 motherboard route mainly due to the flexibility it offers. But you can just buy a N100 based NUC and you get effectively the same performance and incredible low power consumption.

I would recommend against the Pi 5. It is way underpowered in my opinion. Plus with a x86 system you just have a lot more software compatibility.

You are not blocking just Chrome though. You are also blocking Vanadium on GrapheneOS.

To be fair though it works fine with JavaScript disabled. I only enabled JavaScript to test it.

Alright, fine I will try it. I have to admit the web browser part does sound interesting.

I’d argue LocalSend is a lot simpler. Install the app on both devices, open it, transfer files. Zero configuration needed in the majority of cases.
