I migrated from WordPress to Grav and love it. If you know markdown Grav is easy, efficient and FAST.

At minimum ensure the rest of the world stays 20 years ahead of us. Southern EU has been heavily powered by renewables for over a decade and were still somehow discussing their merit.

I went a little crazy and setup my own wireguard VPN network, all the remote hosts connect to the VPN and the primary server connects to each of them and pushes backups. Because I use btrfs and lots of snapshots I use btrbk, annoying to setup but now my hourly snapshots get pushed everywhere, minimal bandwidth and it flawlessly has worked for years.

My father wants to sell his deep sea fishing boat, no more fish to catch. He is so heavily restricted on what he can catch there is no point going out anymore. Meanwhile when he goes out into international waters and fishes based on these rules he has to dodge all the international fishing trawlers that scrap the ocean clean. Very frustrating.

For what it’s worth I hope he sells his boat. It’s stupid and wasteful to burn 200 gallons of gas to perhaps catch one shark. It’s painfully wasteful.

I do this except the offline copies are raspberry pis, they grab an update then turn their network card off and go black for about a month. Randomly they turn on the network card, pull a fresh copy and go black again. Safe from randomware and automatic.

I have a trailer (workshop) with solar power, batteries, a raspberry pi controlling everything and a cellular hot spot. It pumps all the solar, battery information and light controls over MQTT and home assistant over cellular. So yes its possible, what do you want to do?

Shit I thought I was so damn novel. Blast you.

I host it on the host that runs the script and proxy it. I have one mission critial pi that is my uptime bot, pi hole and backup VPN if my elaborate server falls on its face. But you could easily use docker volumes too, and have the script push to that folder.

Yep, here is the yaml but redacted

Similar, but more fancy, I have a bash script that runs every 15 minutes and ingests a config file. The config file has a super simple CSV format of every service I have. It checks that all the services are operational and generates an HTML file from it. If any services are down the HTML will show its down, otherwise its just a helpful link.

I just made a landing page in HASS, if you’re already running three instances could you make a page in one?

Older speakers like that use always on transformers, constantly wasting energy to keep the core energized. You’re correct those cannot be made any more, they must use efficient switch mode supplies.

+1 on this idea, going to toss in my recommendation for an AMD 5600g second hand. Its basically a laptop CPU with built in GPU that handles my jellyfin transcoding without issue and has a super low idle power rating if you pair it with a quality, small PSU.
