   Have a cheap laser printer wired on lan. Use it maybe every 2-3 months. Useful when you don’t have an office to print things at (I got it the year I started working at home)

   Motion on, auto off, turn on at dusk, turn off at midnight, turn off when I’m not home. Turn on when I come home. battery-less switches that can go anywhere and trigger anything. Smart lights and outlets are the only smart thing in my home

   90% of people just enter their phone number and call it a day because for most people it works just fine (barring simswaps hacks etc) for the rest there are other options.

    i'll bite - why do you need to write the date the same you say it? two totally different contexts. And it leads to confusion: 11/11/2022 <- what date is that? or how about 02/05/2022? 2022-11-11 is not ambiguous.

    Unless you don’t want to use their online accounts and want to bridge. If your client ip is not on the same subnet as the server it doesn’t allow you to use local accounts (at least when I last tried years ago)
