I don't understand the votes on that website, most people from EPP voted ๐Ÿ‘Ž (against the extension) but that means they are against chat control? Or in favor? What european parties are opposing to the chat control, I want to know which parties we can trust on this matter.

    Finally I am buying a Meross MTS215BMA with Matter. But what I don't know is if I will need any antena for Threads to connect to my RPi with home assistant? or maybe this thermostat works with Matter over wifi. Do you guys think if I go with smart devices connected via Matter (I have seen most Ikea smart home devices support it), do I need a Threads hub/antena? If so, any recomendation?

    Hi! I am running Umbrel on a Raspberry Pi 4 and I have "Home Assistant" installed in it, I oly have some smart lights connected to it. I would like to integrate a Thermostat with HA. But I am a bit overwhelmed with the different types of connections (Z-wave, Zigbee, Wifi, ...)

    Do you guys have any kind of recommendation, what connection is better? I would like to keep it local (or connecting remotely via Tailscale) but I would like to avoid any cloud or third-party server solution.

    What thermostat hardware can I buy?

    The only game I am not able to make it work on Linux is "The Sims 4". After installing it on Steam, when clicking on Play, it runs the EA app in the background and tries to start the game, but it doesn't load. Any suggestion?

    If you can hide an old small android phone with a a SIM card in your bike, you can use FindMyDevice (FMD) available in f-droid.

    If not you can use some pet tracking device, like FindMyCat. It's a small opensource device in a collar where you need to plug in a SIM card.

    But if you want a device which uses low power Bluetooth / mesh connection and which doesn't require SIM card nor GPS. Then I don't know any alternative which is not a privacy nightmare.

    I use Logseq with ToDoList plugin to handle task list. Logseq is similar to obsidian but open-source. And to syncronize notes among devices, I use syncthing. No need to selfhost.

    I am not an expert on security and I don't know how to setup ddns, but I simply use Tailscale VPN to access my RPi4 homeserver running Umbrel from outside of my home, I simply installed Tailscale in my Umbrel and in my phone, and when I want to access from my phone Immich, Nextcloud or any other app running on my Umbrel. I simply enable the Tailscale VPN. Maybe it has some limitations, but is the simpler way I found, and based on what I read, it is more secure than exposing a port in the router, but not sure.
