I'm a big fan of automating as much as I can.

• Lights automatically turn on when someone enters the room, but only if it's dark enough to need lights in that room at that moment. Turn them off automatically when presence is no longer detected (not just IR based motion detection).
• My old washer and dryer alert me when they're done thanks to vibration sensors.
• Media downloads when added to a watchlist.
• Regular backups locally and to the cloud.
• My phone enables/disables rotation lock based on the app I'm currently using.
• Phone also opens various playlists when connecting to my car stereo based on date/time.
• Various "scenes" to turn devices on and off, control brightness, volume levels, etc. This includes controlling devices that are IR, RF, Bluetooth, and Zigbee based.
• Game servers that update when new versions are released, but only when no players are connected. If anyone is connected, sends a message to a discord server (that is also connected to Matrix) alerting everyone to the available update and asking players to log off at their earliest convenience. Players can also check on game server status with bot commands in the game's channel on that server.

Everything runs locally and has a manual backup so I can still control everything the old fashioned way if my phone is dead or if my non tech savvy parents are over and need to operate any of it.

Didn't you get any meat?

This is bound to kill something.

Thank you very much for the detailed response! Very informative and interesting.

I've seen many of his videos and haven't noticed any obvious errors. Could you please link to the specific video(s) that you are referencing in regards to errors he has made, especially those related to the distributive law and what you reference to as "1917," as well as any explanation as to what is incorrect/misleading/lying?

Haha no worries, enjoy your coffee!

16 is absolutely not turn based, I'm not sure where you got that idea.

I recently set up something similar to this. I can't comment on your specific hardware, but I was very frustrated with the limitations of TrueNAS and ended up using Debian and Cockpit with BTRFS for the drives.

I started with two 18TB drives with no RAID, and have since added two 26TB drives with everything's using RAID1 and ~45TB of usable storage. Converting and adding drives was very simple, but also time consuming of course.

Put the cookie down!

I would absolutely believe that this was coincidence or unintentional "borrowing" or "inspiration" if the name of the location wasn't literally "Azura Deluxe Hotels." At that point it's pretty blatent.

Edit response to parent edit: I can't find any iconography that represents the religious Azura (or Ishtar) with both the Sun and Moon, especially as depicted in this statue, outside of the Elder Scrolls universe. Happy to be proven wrong, but I think it's clear which party was influenced by the other.

Yippie Ki-Yay Mr. Falcon.

I've had it with these monkey fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane!
