Not names, just adjectives.

They’re even the right colors for my 6.5lb spotted lady and 14lb orange torpedo

My state just made self-serve gas a thing so I got an electric. If I’m going to have to fuel up my own car, I’ll do it in my carport.

I was excited for IPv6 in the 90s.

I’ve ended up with a pretty decent vinyl collection doing this. A lot of artists sell record releases on their merch store.

First set up your certificate in the SSL tab of NPM. You can either upload a traditional certificate or set up LetsEncrypt. Be aware that starting next spring the maximum length of a certificate will drop to 9 months and continue to decrease over the next few years until its 47 days.

I have mine set up so LetsEncrypt gets a wildcard cert for my domain (via DNS challenge). Some people go with per subdomain certs.

Once you have the cert, go you each of your hosts and switch to its SSL tab. Then select your cert. Then I usually turn on “Force SSL”

I use Nginx Proxy Manager running as a docker container. Its a gui that makes administration more straight forward. It points at all my services (docker and otherwise) and handles the SSL for me. Because I don’t want to have any ports open I use DNS challenge ACME and NPM has built in support for a number APIs from large public DNS providers to automate that.

This looks like the trailer for an ILM remake of CryptoZoo NFTs.

For those unfamiliar, Dawarich is a self hosted location tracker / timeline

Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

We’re pretty lucky to have him, too.

Today happens to be the first anniversary of us adopting Laszlo (shelter name Timber).

There’s been a lot of snuggles in the last year.

I know a flying cat when I see one

I use Proxmox because its handy to be able to use both LXC containers and full VMs. I installed it as an ISO so its built on top of Debian. There are helper scripts specific to installing Home Assistant on a VM (as well as a number of other things). And the proxmox UI comes in handy.

I have Home Assistant in a VM so I can run it on top of HAOS. Then the rest of the box is set up as an unprivileged LXC where I installed docker. I run all my *ARR apps straight on my Synology (via docker) so they have fast access to my Library volume, and everything else running on the setup I just described. Then I use Portainer to maintain my containers so I can manage both the syno and proxmox docker installs from one page.

Not true at all. If you want to run Home Assistant on top of Home Assistant OS then it needs to be on bare metal or a full VM because its an OS. Running on HAOS is easy mode, but not required.

A company’s logo should be evocative of their strengths. So suggesting they, principally, shit all over everything is apt.

This is a sleeper agent’s trigger. Congratulations, you haven’t been activated.

today

We’ve had an old lady cat (Pica) since she was two who, at best, tolerated our other cat (Bob)… for 15 years. But when Bob passed and the cat distribution system found us again a few months later, we took in Laszlo and kept him in a side room. Because we were afraid Pica would hate this new 4 year old male, we kept him in a spare room for 2 full weeks.

The first week Pica would sit outside the spare room door, occasionally sniff under it, and then hiss. By the middle of the 2nd week the hissing had stopped and she wanted in the room. When he was finally let out, they were stand-offish for quite a while but we didn’t observe any swatting or big displays of territorial or angry behavior. Then Laszlo spent several weeks inching his sleeping spot closer to hers until they were sharing a bed on the couch.

Now Pica slightly more than tolerates Laszlo. I wouldn’t call them friends but if Bob had tried this there would have been an ugly fight. I don’t know if the super slow introduction helped or if she’s more accepting with old age, but I’m glad.

Our Bob came from the shelter as Ollie, but he was never Ollie.

Ollie became Oddball -> Bobbles -> Bob. And Bob just seemed right.

My best kitty friend ever was named Bob. Its a fantastic name.
