It works great with usenet, detects albums you have and looks for those you don’t, with a decent UI for managing.

Doesn’t Lidarr do a similar thing? Not sure if it operates the same if you don’t have the arr part of it going.

Sad to see the news about tteck. His scripts really helped me get off the ground on my own self hosting journey.

This is quite important with Immich. They’re good at documenting their breaking changes, just gotta make sure you check the changelog before updating. Also best to avoid auto updating with Watchtower or similar to avoid surprises.

Depends on the currency.

I’m not sure if they’re available with UK plugs, but I’ve got a pack of Thirdreality Zigbee plugs that monitor energy use and have a button on them to toggle power.

I’ve got them connected to Home Assistant. Two do a bit of climate control in a coldroom, the others are for occupancy lighting.

Right hand rule applied to torque.

The asterism gives me big Splinter Cell vibes and I’m definitely OK with that.

The American data is also not fit. A part of a reduction in firearm deaths is advancements in medical treatment for bullet injuries. The actual statistic that should be tracked is bullet injuries, which is also quite incomplete due to many PDs classifying a survived bullet injury as an assault, limiting the ability to get accurate numbers on how many bullet injuries there actually are.

Unfortunately there isn’t really an all-in-one guide. TechnoTim has info on the Pi-hole config side and wildcard certificates, but I think he uses it with traefik.

NPM is pretty straightforward. If you find a site isn’t working, try turning on Web Socket support.

I’d say just search for guides on each part individually:

1. Get all the services installed and up and running
2. Get SSL certificates from Cloudflare for your domain.
3. Set up NPM for the services you want to reverse proxy with your Cloudflare SSL certs (they wont work until the next step is done)
4. Set up pi-hole to be your local DNS (there’s also adblock lists to add) and configure it to send all service(.lan).mydomain.com to the ip of NPM.
5. Set up the Cloudflare tunnel.

I can try to help if you run into any issues.

I’m definitely not a network pro, but it sounds like you’re looking to do something similar to what I have.

I’ve got nginx proxy manager as my reverse proxy with pi-hole for local DNS. All traffic goes through the pi-hole and anything going to mydomain.com has DNS entries pointing to nginx. I’ve set nginx up so service.lan.mydomain.com is for anything local and just service.mydomain.com for anything external with wildcard SSL certs for both (*.domain doesn’t seem to cover *.lan.domain so add certs for both - probably because it’s a sub-subdomain).

The Cloudflare tunnel can then just get directed to service.mydomain.com instead of the IP of the service.

Alright. You do you.

Unless the feature of the view is nearly straight up from the window, properly designed awnings don’t block the view at all.

Interior shades aren’t nearly as effective as exterior. Once that sun gets through the window, it’s already giving that next interior surface quite a bit of heat.

There are many styles of awning or other shading elements. You can have metal slats or what looks like a wood box that comes out horizontally over the window. I’m sure something could fit your house’s aesthetic. And perhaps ask your wife what value she’d put on thermal comfort.

Looking for shading elements or shading strategies might get broader results than simply sheet metal or fabric awnings.

Awnings don’t have to be a piece of fabric flapping in the wind. Wood, metal, extended roof overhangs, a deciduous tree, really anything that provides exterior shade to a window will be quite effective at reducing interior heating.

A mall that’s only random clothes, shoes, and jewellery stores surrounded by an ocean of parking lot is very unattractive.

As you say, a mall with actually useful stores, like grocery, pharmacy, perhaps a restaurant or two (not chain fast food), etc, with residential units on top or very close to constitutes more of a community than a mall and is very likely to be sustainable versus the former.

It starts early in the design process. But at that stage, it would be best to pause installation, have a mechanical engineer do the mechanical design (including equipment selection) based on an energy model and install the recommended equipment.

I work in building science. It’s obscene how little actual design and quality control goes into residential homes.

The typical design is just one step above being illegal, and people are often scared off of doing anything more than that by the threat of increased cost. However, they don’t realize that they pay for it either way; either on their mortgage, or on utilities. Only one of those you can actually own in the end.

Sorry, four of the power to ethernet plugs. You put one near your router to essentially supply internet to your house’s electrical circuits, then distribute the others where you need them, such as office, living room if you want to connect a TV or console, etc.

I had a set of four for getting ethernet around the few places I rented. There was maybe the odd quality decrease when there was a lot of electrical load, but they worked great otherwise.
