I prefer pots, tbh.

Good point.

Ooh, typo. I’ll edit it so that those who fulfill these kinds of things know not to glass your home.

Trilium. You’ll be glass glad you tried it.

Me too. It’s good for the market as a whole.

Meh. Not what it looks like to me.

There’s a HACS integration called ‘variable’ that might help. Create the variable, then just:

• check if variable equals switch state
  • if not, flip switch, and update the variable to the current switch state

That’s the true true.

If it helps, it’s supposed to be a drop-in replacement.

So, all of the awkward pauses, the lack of inflection - you’re saying keep those, just change who it sounds like is speaking?

I use digital ocean as dns host. They have an API, so I check my IP with a script and update if needed.

Interesting how you use “simple” and “mail server” in the same sentence.

Near death experience?

Privately held. That means there’s a chance that someone can go good with it.

What you probably want is a dmz or red/green localnets. A reverse proxy (as others have mentioned) like haproxy or nginx) are extremely unlikely to, themselves, be hacked. But they don’t really add security, either.

What does add security is to have a router with a firewall, with one or more red networks, and a green network.

The red network has all of your public-facing servers. They have virtually no external access, and no internal access except to respond. It’s even good to have a rule on the router that you can turn on/off that blocks all outbound connections from the red network to the external world. To upgrade a server, turn off the rule, upgrade, and then turn the rule on again. The router only forwards inbound connections from the internet on a specific port, and routes them to the server/servers on the red network(s) on a (possibly different) specific port.

Most ownage-style hacks involve (once compromised) either calling home (can’t if the server is not allowed outbound connections) or opening an additional port (who cares, the router will never forward anything to that port).

Then, back up your important info, and keep multiple copies of that info - daily for a week, monthly for a few months, and yearly.

I do say that with certainty. And I didn’t claim that proof of stake has no environmental impact - it just doesn’t have more impact than, for example, a web server.

If I start a carbon-neutral wing of an oil company, of course it doesn’t make an oil company carbon-neutral. However, that doesn’t impact the real value of other companies that actually are carbon neutral.

Similarly, Ethereum is, by far, not a “green” tech, and their usage of proof of stake can easily and reasonably be called greenwashing if they don’t also severely limit the usage of POW.

Proof of Stake, though, is not a power-hungry tech, period. And it is a means for crypto to become, overall, a nominal energy user. There are other chains out there (cardano, algorand, nano, and many others) that don’t use PoW and that use reasonable amounts of energy.

I appreciate your passion for the environment. But misrepresentation does not help your case, though misrepresentation may help those your fight.

Well said. Solid facts.
