I have a rule that “Nothing will be automated that cannot be manually overridden.”

Well, actually it’s my wife’s rule but it’s a good rule nonetheless. As a result, there’s a big panel full of relays in the basement that is the “last mile” for anything climate control or security related.

There have been a few times when it’s been handy. Like when the exhaust fan isn’t working and I don’t want to debug the ESP32 controller today so I just flip it over to “Manual”.

Scratch the beer and the vape, add a single malt scotch, and take my money.

Honestly, you knew it was a child’s birthday party and yet you didn’t bring enough to share? That was pretty inconsiderate.

But seriously, it’s a naive person who doesn’t understand that every single day, somewhere in the world, the most horrible shit you can imagine is going down at any given moment. That’s just a fact.

“Well it’s not MY fault they shot some Vietnamese kid in the face and now have nightmares and a paralyzing fear of fireworks. Guess they should have thought about that before getting drafted.”

Me: “You’re a fatty fat fat mean fat cat.”

Cat: “No shit, Captain Obvious. Now why haven’t you brought me my noms yet?”

I use Jellyfin with FinAmp for Android. Even supports offline caching.

“I swear to God I’m gonna pistol whip the next guy who says ‘shenanigans’.”

My immune system encounters some pollen

“What is this Mickey Mouse shit!?”

Jellyfin, Immich, and Paperless-ngx are three of the apps I use the most but you do whatever works best for you. That’s half the advantage of self hosting. You can have a solution that’s custom tailored to your needs.
