I checked and there is basically no need to switch to fhem if you have a working environment as in HA the connection/use of a telegram bot is also possible.

I don't use HA but FHEM and what I do to retrieve data from my homecontrol is using a telegram bot.

In telegram you can setup buttons when formatting messages, so my bot shows me the control menu with predefined actions. One action is to show my power consumption at home.

There is no need to open ports as the telegram bot polls the same way you cell phone does.

Also the bot only communicates to known clients that I predefined before, so nobody can see or control my home network.

Maybe something similar is possible in HA.

I still everyone thinks that boomer`s houses magically built themself and cost nothing. No interest was payed for the loan and the time there where built money rained from the sky.

While on an fairphone where a "normal" user can change various parts himself it makes sense, how does this workout on a pixel or any other "not for selfrepair" built device?

A screen module of the fairphone is 70€, so you drop it and change the screen yourself. Continuing to use it.

More than 4/5 years updates with batteries dying due to fast/ultra charged cycles doesn't make sense in my point of view.

They will for sure require original parts installed in the manufacturer repair shop.

I use syncthing to collect my data from several devices (smartphones and PC) to my server at home, when I am in my home network.

Then, on the server, rclone takes over with various daily/weekly tasks and syncs the stuff to my cloud storage. Some encrypted some plain. From my mobile or my pc I have access to all the data either at home or via vpn as well as directly to the cloud backup.

Sometimes design choices are hard to understand.

We have an automap in the middle ages world but in a distant future there is none. Same with cars/mobility devices.

Kudos to the mod community though.

I use rclone and the gui https://rclone.org/gui/ in my proxmox environment.

That said, the backup itself is still initiated via batch script.

Edit: to backup my PC and all smartphones to my server I use syncthing.

And the rclone backs the data to an cloud system. Some parts encrypted

I went for the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram (yes it works) a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro.

Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. 6 LXC running motioneye, plex, pyload with openvpn, syncthing, rclone cloud backup and openbookshelf.

Typical power usage is around 20W

Ripping myself is what I did with Libation as suggested here. You log into your audible account when starting the software for the first time, your libary is shown and you can start to download.

When adjusting the auto tagging then audiibookshelf automatically sorts the stuff in the correct way with series etc.

Perfect combination and totally free.

Not for ripping but to serve your books and for the selfhosters among us use audiobookshelf.

Really great piece of software

I am not familiar with the Apt series but CoT was the first book I read from this author and was blown away.

Although the first part started slow and monologues still happen frequently but the idea and the plot pulled me forward. While I didn't felt he recapped much.

My other suggestion, Peter F. Hamilton is the totally oposite direction when it comes to jumping between places / characters. Sometimes between paragraphs and not at chapters end or page ends.

Still after one sentence you know exactly where you are in the plot. Even when his books throw different characters at you like popcorn.

If you have a lot of time and an urge to read:

• Peter F. Hamilton - void trilogy - space opera
• Brandon Sanderson - the stormlight archives - epic fantasy
• Adrian Tchaikovsky - children of time series - sci-fi

Check if you can get your hands on an ebook reader, if you don't have already. The reading experience from the eye view side is similar to reading books and in addition you can increase the font size. It is superior to reading on a screen.

I listened to the audiobooks if that counts.

He is one of my favoured authors.

My personal top list, of what I "read"

• Children of time
• The doors of eden
• children of ruin
• shards of earth series

Did you try to rebuild shaders? If you are using steam.

Rclone can do this for you.

No reverse proxy. In LAN everything is seen and accessible.

No port is open to WAN, I connect via my router VPN from extern.

I use unpriveliged LXC für everything I have running in my proxmox.

Plex, syncthing, rclone, motioneye, pyload all in seperate Lxc on the boot drive.

All data of those is on my mirror raid, including the lxc backups. The rclone lxc backs the important data onto my cloud drive.
