Is there a way yet to in-place upgrade or is it still only "flash a new SD"?

I use Jellyfin as a backend for my Kodi boxes (I have 3, and JF keeps them in sync). I used to have a YouTube plugin, but YT broke that this year.

Personally, I use Kodi for that. It works very well with minimal keyboard and no mouse (though it can handle both), so much so that I've run it for years using only an IR remote.

Those are kinda what I mentioned originally. The first is for roller shades, the second for curtains. They're good at what they do, but that's not blinds.

I'm fine with them being battery powered. The nice thing about having a window right there is that it can have a small solar panel up high to recharge if needed.

I've got several sensors and even a deadbolt that run on battery, and they go for over a year before needing a replacement.

Does your August lock allow multiple codes? I've got a Quickset keypad deadbolt that does, and that allowed me to set a code I gave my neighbor, and the lock reports which code was used. If yours does something similar, you can give kiddo a separate code, then when that code gets used after school, the house does the needful. No key to lose or tag to track that way.

If you're willing to go that route, check out Zabbix and Icinga2 as well. They're compatible with Nagios checks but the user interface is better.

I use ssmtp as well for a simple sendmail replacement. It takes over the sendmail command, doesn't open any ports. You configure it for the domain you want and tell it what server to send everything to and it works.

Really? Such as?

True, but SQLite is not recommended in production settings, and is quite often the source of Nextcloud slowdowns, in my experience. A dedicated DB is the first thing I recommend for a production Nextcloud instance.

Oh and to be clear, in this instance, "production" means "people depend on this", be that your family group, team/department, fraternal order, church group, etc. as opposed to "I'm just playing with this thing."

Slackware 1.2, because it came on a CD in the back of a fat paperback manual I got at Barnes and Noble. It was only later that I learned what a distro is.

Currently on Fedora with a Frankenstein desktop of my own concoction.

This is how my partner and I do our notifications. We've got "him", "her", and "us", depending on who needs the notification. Whenever either of us gets a new device, I add it to either of our groups and then works.

It's more because they provide an ONVIF interface or an RTSP stream that makes them self-hosting darlings. Them being Chinese white-labels and cheap is mainly a side-bonus.

What are your recommendations if not them?
