I don't understand the votes on that website, most people from EPP voted πŸ‘Ž (against the extension) but that means they are against chat control? Or in favor? What european parties are opposing to the chat control, I want to know which parties we can trust on this matter.

    Finally I am buying a Meross MTS215BMA with Matter. But what I don't know is if I will need any antena for Threads to connect to my RPi with home assistant? or maybe this thermostat works with Matter over wifi. Do you guys think if I go with smart devices connected via Matter (I have seen most Ikea smart home devices support it), do I need a Threads hub/antena? If so, any recomendation?

    Hi! I am running Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I have "Home Assistant" installed in it, I oly have some smart lights connected to it. I would like to integrate a Thermostat with HA. But I am a bit overwhelmed with the different types of connections (Z-wave, Zigbee, Wifi, ...)

    Do you guys have any kind of recommendation, what connection is better? I would like to keep it local (or connecting remotely via Tailscale) but I would like to avoid any cloud or third-party server solution.

    What thermostat hardware can I buy?

    I use Umbrel OS installed in my Rasperry Pi 4 and with Immich in it. But I don't have a robust/automatic back up solution, I simply copy the Immich docker container into an external ssd drive quarterly. Any suggestion for automatic backups? I am interested in that mirroring option with a different NAS in a different location, what setup is needed for that?

    The only game I am not able to make it work on Linux is "The Sims 4". After installing it on Steam, when clicking on Play, it runs the EA app in the background and tries to start the game, but it doesn't load. Any suggestion?

    If you can hide an old small android phone with a a SIM card in your bike, you can use FindMyDevice (FMD) available in f-droid.

    If not you can use some pet tracking device, like FindMyCat. It's a small opensource device in a collar where you need to plug in a SIM card.

    But if you want a device which uses low power Bluetooth / mesh connection and which doesn't require SIM card nor GPS. Then I don't know any alternative which is not a privacy nightmare.

    I use Logseq with ToDoList plugin to handle task list. Logseq is similar to obsidian but open-source. And to syncronize notes among devices, I use syncthing. No need to selfhost.

    I am not an expert on security and I don't know how to setup ddns, but I simply use Tailscale VPN to access my RPi4 homeserver running Umbrel from outside of my home, I simply installed Tailscale in my Umbrel and in my phone, and when I want to access from my phone Immich, Nextcloud or any other app running on my Umbrel. I simply enable the Tailscale VPN. Maybe it has some limitations, but is the simpler way I found, and based on what I read, it is more secure than exposing a port in the router, but not sure.

    I don't know why you say that bitcoin is mostly used to scam people and to purchase illegal goods. I agree that maybe a small fraction of people is using it as a currency. But, in my case, most of the people I know who have bitcoin, just have it as a store of value. Maybe I am lucky and know a lot of those "responsible heroin users" who understand that there will be only 21 million bitcoins, so what makes it valuable is its scarcity, and as long as central banks keep printing money out of thin air, bitcoin demand will grow, at least among those who understand it.
