Because they’ll buy cloud enabled devices and call you an idiot for suggesting that might be a poor long-term plan. Then they bitch and moan when their devices get bricked, yet again, and then they’re back on the cloud-device bandwagon next time.

I have literally hundreds of sensors, switches and other IOT devices I’ve either bought or built myself because nobody made one. Not a one needs an internet connection to work because I learned long ago that it doesn’t pay to rely on outside services. Hell, I only started using HA recently because I figured it was going to fade away as well. I’ve seen their commitment to keeping things self-hosted, so a few years ago I let myself get convinced to move away from NodeRed and my own codebase. But if they disappeared tomorrow I’d still be able to use my devices with a minimum of hassle.

You might consider using something like Cloudflared or Tailscale’s Funnels to proxy the connections through to prevent DDOSing and apply ACLs. You can still use your domains with those.

IME, about 90% of the twats at Reddit/r/smarthome. They they whine when the next Sonos or such they switched to gets bricked yet again.

Only another one of Mushk’s companies would value X as high as that. Hell, other investors in that purchase have written their debt down 80%

No, but it’s easy enough to be both. There’s a pile of IM packages out there that manage it.

Metadata is valuable info, look at what a pen register nets law enforcement and why it’s the first step in an investigation. The idea that a messaging app that’s supposed to be used for political action but the chain of association is visible and verified is absolutely suspect.

House next to nazi bar.

Mitch McConnell’s only possible path out of hell is to strap 20 pounds of C4 to himself and going to shake hands with Donny.

Hey, you got fucked 3 different ways!

Whoever is carrying water for the US these days. Probably the UK.

Maybe they should replace her with one of those little wooden pecking birds that’s poised over the “No” vote button on their station at the UN.
