I had the same issue with my Anonaddy alias, I just made an alias using my domain name and works fine now. It’s unfortunate that so many project are on shithub.

n8n.io is great, but not open source.

You can use Universal Android Debloater. Most apps have a description of what it does and if it’s safe to remove or not. Already debloated a few Samsung phones with it, works great :)

I use deemon to download my music from Deezer (free account only supports 128kb/s, this is enough for me though).

For the music server I tried both Jellyfin with the Finamp app and Navidrome with the Tempo app on Android.

For desktop app for both I use SonixD/Feishin (crossplatform)

Both where fantastic solutions but I stuck with Navidrome as it was easier to share playlists. (As an URL for non registered users or as public playlist for all registered users)

My setup is as following: Hypervisor: Proxmox VE NAS: TrueNAS Scale (where all music is stored)

1 LXC container with Deemon installed that downloads music in mounted NFS share from TrueNAS

1 VM with Navidrome installed in Docker with the music folder mounted with NFS

You don’t have to use such a setup, you can perfectly do this on your existing PC with Windows, MacOS or Linux with DE. Or server OS like Linux with CLI, OpenMediaVault, TrueNAS Scale or unRAID

I use Deemon for automatic music downloading from Deezer (free). Then I stream my music with Navidrome and some Subsonic compatible apps for mobile. I have this setup for over 3 years now and I have 3TB of music ;)

If you just want to download the songs you need, you can use Deemix (I use this Docker image, you can just install it as an application too)

Tip: if you don’t want to setup a music server, you can use Syncthing to sync you music and playlists between devices :)

I use 1984.hosting, they are an independent VPS provider that runs on 100% green energy. Already customer with them for 2 years. Last year I moved my email hosting to them (unlimited domain names and storage).

No KYC They accept bitcoin and monero

They do

What software do you use for the thin client part? I’m really happy with Moonlight, just Wayland support (no cursor) is a little broken.

A few months ago I bought a second hand Nvidia Shield TV (€40), flashed LineageOS on it. Very happy with the device, especially the performance.

I use Jellyfin, SmartTubeNext and some VOD TV apps from my country. I’ve Adguard Home on my Proxmox server (can also be a Raspberry Pi) that I use for DNS adblocking, so we can watch VOD TV without any ads. Works really well :)

We’ve switched to this from cable TV and my family loves it, we can watch anything we want without any ads and FREE!

Only problem (not for me) is that Netflix doesn’t work on it without GAPPS.

I use this app on my Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS, or you can install the website as PWA

I use PairDrop allot for sending peer to peer files/text to other PC’s on other networks. FOSS and can be self hosted ;)

That would be a solution, only problem is that I don’t have my playlists. But that’s not that big if a deal.

More stable connection and less latency I guess

Hi, you mean I can directly wire a open/close sensor? That is interesting. You have any recommendations for those and the smart blinds?

Hey, thanks for your detailed comment :) That Z-Wave thermostat looks really clean. I’ll try to order those. I agree with you, you should always have a simple physical button to control something instead of only relying on an app on your smartphone.

I didn’t knew about the Z-Wave store, looks that they have good prices. I see you can only buy as B2B? Not that this is an issue for me.

MySensors looks really fun, I might order some parts to tinker with :)

Yeah if I choose for smart lighting I’ll just install in-wall smart switches. You have any experience of the longevity of smart bubs?

Hi, thanks for your comment :) I just looked at the Ikea bulbs and they seem to be cheaper than Philips Hue. I’ll look into it more later today. As for the blinds, that Shelly Plus 2PM looks interesting I have to look into it how it exactly works (I’m not an electrician, it’s all new for me ;) ) I’m not into the Apple ecosystem (for privacy reasons) You know any way to connect my Navidrome server to HA so I can stream to those Ikea Sonos speakers?

I already have a router flashed with OpenWRT and I really like it. I just bought Unifi Enterprise 24 PoE switch and a barebone router of AliExpress (4x 2.5G ports, intel celeron cpu) so I can experiment with OPNSense. For APs I already have some U6 LR, didn’t knew you can flash those with OpenWRT, will look into that :)

So using for example a Shelly relay would be more ideal? I was thinking of using smart lighting because you can for example have more warm light in the evening and more white light in the morning for example.

That looks really interesting, never heard of Tasmota. I’ll look into it thank you so much!
