  • I would spend the money on smart switches before smart outlets. I personally find that I want smart control over almost all of my lights/ fans but only some of my outlets.

    Another reason for my avoidance of smart outlets is they are much more expensive than smart plugs and it's rare that you want to control both plugs in an outlet anyways.

    As far as wiring if you want window/ door sensors or motion sensors you might consider running power to those locations. Much better than changing button batteries constantly.

    Use conduit to future proof any network cables you run....

    That's all that comes to mind at the moment

  • Should be able to just do it with automations and include "choose" action. 2024.1 looks like it makes it easier building blocks.

  • Out of curiosity are you able to click on text and highlight it by holding the shift key and arrowing? Then copy and paste it with ctrl+c and ctrl+v? Not trying to give you a work-around necessarily, but wondering if it is mouse related or something else.

    Have you tried another mouse on the pi?

  • I've been pretty happy with paperless-ngx, it should tick all your boxes

  • Oooh memories, I can't remember the version number but mandrake 10 must have been close to my first linux distro!! ....it.didn't.go.well.

  • Dietpi is a nice little distro, especially when running it minimal without a GUI. Its added toolkits make farting around on the command line more comfortable

  • I've spent countless hours over the last couple years, since I left the Googs, trying to find a good alternative for STT. I love that I just bumped into this post and it seems to be the answer I'm looking for. I've been playing around with it today and it works pretty great. Thanks OP!

  • Richmond would be perfect for this

  • Im otherwise just lurking but now you've witnessed two of us on /e/os ;)

  • I switched to Proton from PIA when I learned of PIAs sketchy new owner Kape Technologies

  • The proton suite or consider murena.io

    Murena is the company behind e/os which is a privacy (from big tech) driven android spin. Whether or not you want to flash your phone with the os, you can use their cloud suite for a few dollars a month. It's built on nextcloud, has email, calendar, notes, picture and file backup, productivity suite.....

    Murena isn't end to end encrypted like proton, so it depends on your threat model I guess

  • Thank you all for the input.

    If I was looking for a top of the line card I would dig in and learn everything there is to know about graphics cards to make an informed decision. When it comes to buying a run of the mill card, its hard to get that excited!

    Not sure what I'll buy yet, but you've pointed out what I need to look for. Thanks!

  • Ok, I played around with this a little and seem to have solved at least the messages duplicating. I thought it was because I have 2 SMS apps on my phone, but through some trial and error it seems to be only the main messaging app, that came with the ROM.

    In Gadgetbridge: notification settings, use notification list to: deny notifications from selected apps.

    Select application list, search for messages, click notif box. Close and test it out.

    You would think that this would stop SMS notifications completely, but it stops only the duplication for me. Good luck!

  • Are all notifications doubled, or just text message notifications? Mine seems to only be texts, it has bothered me for awhile, but not enough to dig into it
