Newer versions of Z-Wave are encrypted for "secure" devices, which afaict is most of them. My door locks are all set up in secure mode, and in fact if they're not linked in secure mode they're read-only.

This is the very definition of a corporate poison pill.

The only time I would ever sign a noncompete like that is if it came with 18 months of severance pay. That's ludicrous.

How do you find using GSuite (etc) for family accounts? I've been considering it for a bit but I'd love to hear about your experience.

When you're hurting someone it's on you to stop before they decide they've had enough. After that you can work with them to get what you want in a way that makes sense for you both. Compromise always comes after harm reductio

Yep. I regularly thank my partner for the work they do to keep the house running and they do the same back for me. It genuinely helps me feel more connected to them when we recognize and show appreciation for the things that could absolutel

I've been working from home for almost a decade, two thirds of my career to date. Prior to that I was in either open bullpen-style offices (everyone in a room facing out) or sharing an office with two or three other people. I will neve

On my phone pressing the power button five times quickly starts a 10 second timer and then it auto-calls emergency services and I'm pretty sure this is the default.

Same, although I haven't yet tried to purchase direct from Anker. I think I tried once and it just sent me back to Amazon.

My internet frequently (although less lately) stalls out for minutes at a time, once or twice a day. I don't want my AP to kick me off wireless when I'm refreshing my monitoring app waiting for internet to come back up, or for me

My understanding is that Instant On APs drop their wifi clients when they lose internet access and that this is billed as a feature. Maybe that's changed recently.

All of my wireless gear and most of my switching is UniFi running against a self-hosted controller without cloud access. This works fine. However, UniFi Protect is hardware only. You have to have either a UDM, a CloudKey Gen2 Plus, or a UNV

I use a 43" 4K LG monitor (not TV) as my every day work screen, positioned about five feet from my face. I have macOS set to scale it up about 25". I can't really say I'm more productive on it than just using my laptop,

Things have changed considerably over the last four years.

Sure. There are plenty of platforms you can start with that use less power. For the record I haven't actually measured it, that's just a guess. I'll throw it on a power monitor sometime and check.

I recently deployed a small fleet of Dell thin clients around my house to run zwavejs2mqtt[1] via docker. I decided to use Alpine because the machines have 2GB of ram and 8GB of eMMC storage and I figured Alpine would minimize resource usag

The point is either to learn some new stuff in a semi-practical environment or build an environment where you can host things that are impractical to host in the cloud. Things like home assistant or whatever.

If this is part of your real threat model then you're better off using a self-hosted control plane. Headscale for tailscale, the built-in one for Zerotier, a manually managed wireguard mesh, or Nebula (which is always self-hosted).
