I opt for the happy middle route- I use gadgetbridge on a huawei watch fit 3 so I still get good stats/UX but I’m not reporting back to anyone.

I am eyeing the new pebble watches, though

Check out SFTPGo for backups.

Also, I wouldn’t open any ports on your parents network other than for something like wireguard

I especially wouldn’t expose home assistant to the internet, as it’s quite lax on the security front.

As for RAM, 8gig will be more than enough unless they have an ungodly amount of smart devices. I’d stay away from a raspberry pi when deploying to an offsite location, as they’re not very reliable long term. Get a NUC or something similar. I just picked up a gmktec n150/12gig soldered on amazon for like $130

I need something like this but I install bare metal over docker most of the time. As of now I just subscribe to RSS feeds for releases, but I’d like something I don’t personally need to remember

I also have several machines at home (all run proxmox) and a VPS

Yeah no ublock origin really won’t block all that many, the chattiest DNS comes from apps and smart devices, windows and mac laptops etc.

I also run ublock on all of my browsers

I run a handful of instances across different networks, 1.7% is suspiciously low, you should make sure you’ve got the right lists. I like HageZi’s

Hummus???

Lol, when I moved the most recent pihole version had just got released so I wanted to check it out. I have pihole service my IoT network and 3 adguard->unbound instances setup for my main network for fallbacks 🤣.

But yeah I hate ads/trackers with a burning passion as you can see hahaha

Yep you can self-host findmydevice anywhere. Personally, I deployed it on fly.io as I don’t expose my local network to the internet for security reasons

I cant find anything after a quick search, is this some sort of joke?

I wish more apps supported unified push!

Subs/communities for actively watched shows. I find myself needing to browser redlib for insights on, most recently, the white lotus and the last of us

Unraid is pretty sweet as well!

Storage is cheap whwn it comes to webhosting and 3 replicas is honestly not much when it comes to enterprise standards. I think cloud storage providers like backblaze keep something like 9 copies of data across different mediums

I’ve been eyeing the protectli for this

Can you not write a script to automate a lot of this?
