Just do a “RetroPie” install on Linux. It was originally built for Pi’s but works fine on 64-bit Debian/Ubuntu etc

Yeah but if the primary maintainers are in the US it’ll take a bit before a new group can really work on it in a productive manner
Death by Gorilla snoo-snoo?
Plot twist, neither would be mad at you. They are actually very horny in this situation.
That’s totally fair. In my case I was also limited because the location originally had just lights (so only hot+neutral+ground) but if you want to control lights+fan separately you need at least 3 wires+ground (common neutral, shared ground, hot for fan, hot for light).
In your case, maybe something like the Treatlife DS03 might do the job? I’ve never used it myself but it does have separate wires for load and fan-load, there’s a Tasmota template, and still did a fairly decent write-up
How comfortable are you re-flashing devices and doing a bit of event/automation programming? I use an iFan04-L for the fan+light and then coded the button events from a Martin-Jerry dimmer to change the fan speed and toggle the light.
You’d need to flash the iFan04 but you can get the MJ stuff with Tasmota preinstalled (Amazon stuff was different firmware but their website gives you a choice)
I have a stereo hooked up to my server via optical and use MPD, just haven’t hooked it into HA.
I was considering a similar setup with some small Pi devices around the house and streaming via PulseAudio either to attached amps or just bluey speakers
Ugh, wait what? Why would anyone even do that with a VPN?
I haven’t tried MA yet. I was thinking of tying mine into mpd
How exactly are you planning to integrate? Have a playlist on your HASS host that plays to the device, or stream from device->HASS->speaker?
Seems to be an increasingly rare thing these days from VPN providers. Mullvad recently dropped it, but it does look like ExpressVPN may still support it
Yeah, I’d tend to agree on that. Even beyond the security issues, nuclear has the potential to be a safe, but it also has the potential to be disastrous if mis-managed.
We see plenty of issues like this already, including what occurred here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/fukushima-daiichi-accident
Now imagine a plant in Texas, where power companies response to winter outages has basically been “sucks to be you, winterizing is too costly”.
Or maybe we’d like to go with a long-time trusted company, who totally wouldn’t throw away safety and their reputation for a few extra bucks. Boeing comes to mind.
I like nuclear as a power source, but the absolutely needs to be immutable rules in place to ensure it is properly managed and that anyone attempting to cut corners to save costs gets slapped down immediately. Corporate culture in North America seems to indicate otherwise.
