Thanks, some of it is legal content that has just been sitting locked away on a hard drive for years while I work out what to do with it.

A friend who does archival stuff for govt keeps giving me stuff all like "hey check out this weird thing!" with some ancient film or something. It would be nice to share that, I'll have a look at posting those to the IA.

My threat model doesn't need to include people hacking my locks. The average junkie breaking into my house to steal shit isnt doing it with the blessing of some hacking group. There are no cat-burgulars coming for my collection of antique dildos. I can definitely understand not e-locks for a museum or a bank, but they use integrated security systems that are far out of reach of home users. Another point is that the tumblers in most home door locks are trivial to pick, more trivial than hacking an e-lock.

When I installed digital locks my partner was paranoid about them until I reminded her that we live in a house with a lot of windows. If someone is going to the lengths to crack my lock rather than smashing my windows, we have other problems.

You don't do it in flux, you do it in the panel options in Grafana.

On your original question you can set the Telegraf hostname in the config, for docker stuff I just use omit_hostname = true

People talk a lot about home-assistant but there is another part to that setup; the devices themselves and the firmware they run.

If you stick to ESP8266 devices mostly you can use things like Tasmota and ESPHome. Zigbee/Z-wave is good I've heard but nothing compares to the interoperability of good 'ol WiFi.

It costs like less than $15 for a Sonoff Basic R2, another $5 for a knock off FTDI USB programmer. With a tiny bit of soldering you can put some programming pins on the Sonoff and flash Tasmota. From there you can use Mosquitto to control it, or the HTTP API, both open and interoperable protocols.

I had this issue. And all I wanted was an SMTP server to send emails to myself.

Apparently it doesn't matter what you tell spamhaus, gmail will still treat you as radioactive if your IP address is listed as "residential".

Jellyfin is really really nice btw. I havent experienced any issues and I have it setup in docker with gpu for transcoding.

The thrust of this article seemed top be: "everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home".

I disagree. I want war criminals to feel unsafe everywhere, especially their homes.

Obviously I'm being hyperbolic here, but what about chevron execs who gave Ecuadorians cancer and then got their lawyer prosecuted.

The line between war criminal and oil baron is so blurred you will need corrective lenses.

You could also disable that disabler. Once you own that shit you can dk what you want with it. Block tesla domains, alter the ignition code.

You could disable their spyware. Cars didn't always phone home to snitch on you.

Matrix does exist. It has another level of "barrier for entry" but its probably the least worst option excluding network effect.
