Also use Borgbase for 25$/year for 250GB. Additionally my data is saved via Syncthing to several devices.
Yes, the TV remote controls Kodi via CEC.
I have an LG with WebOS which is also not connected to the internet. So that's unfortunately not an option.
My experience with Framework support is overall very good. Sometimes they are bit slow and need time to understand the issue, but in the end provide satisfying solutions.
Just recently, I complained about a misbehaving key on my 4 year old out of warranty 11th gen Framework and they sent a replacement keyboard for free.
I have mixed experience with Organic Basics. Some of their clothes last way to short to be sustainable.
Congratulations!
Do I understand correctly that you log in to your router over Tailscale and then from their you SSH into your server to uncrypt? Or can you access your server directly?
I set up Dropbear also for my server, but can only access it over local SSH. So I set up a Raspberry Pi which allows me to remotely unlock the server.
I also tried the same options and was not satisfied by any. Good luck with your program! I would be curious to try it when it's ready.
I was also sceptical, but then I started to use codecompanion.nvim with Hugging Face recently. It works quite well and can be helpful for coding.
Tailscale offers a paid Mullvad integration, where you can select most Mullvad servers as exit nodes. Works quite well.
