You should watch the show Phrogging: Hider in My House. It's all real-life events like this, interviewing the victims of people breaking in and hiding in their houses. It's super creepy.

It's not the 4th amendment to the Florida constitution. It's in slot #4 on the ballot.
When I switched to Firefox a while back, I also switched to using the Tree Style Tabs extension. It gives you vertical tabs which can be nested like a folder structure. I found it's way more convenient to know which tab was spawned from a parent tab, and keep similar tabs all in one little grouping. In my opinion, it's even better than Chrome's tab grouping. I lose a tiny amount of screen real estate along the left side of the browser, but it really didn't take long at all to get used to, and now I vastly prefer it.
I did the same thing with home assistant and just the stock clock app. Just looking at the "next alarm" sensor state.
I just set my domain email up with Zoho. Was easy enough and they have a free option. Although I pay $1.25/mo per user for two users, just to get a little extra storage space and be able to use SMTP and ActiveSync to send email from my servers for notifications and use a different mobile app than their default one.
Yeah I'm with you. Just say ACAB. No sense in obscuring it further than the acronym already does.
This will be down voted, but I also tried a bunch of launchers and never found one I liked better than Nova. I ended up installing TrackerControl and Nova has its internet connection fully disabled. It doesn't need Internet for any features I use, so I felt like this was a good compromise, personally. I ended up starting to block trackers in all my apps now because of it, so I see it as a net win.
Tracker Control on Android works well for system-wide tracker and ad blocking, and you can configure custom blocking rules per-app. Works without root by using a VPN profile (but no data leaves your device via the VPN, it just routes the traffic through this app).
Another place that's got good deals is https://nationalofficeinteriors.com . Learned about this place at an old job. They sell used stuff that's pretty much new but has like one little stain or scuff on it or something, so places making bulk purchases refuse it. Just doing a search for the Steelcase Leap (which I also highly recommend), they've got a bunch for like 50-70% off full price right now.
I think they don't take your phone, just scan it. I don't know how it works with this, but I have a trial for my state's digital ID app (the app works but isn't fully implemented as a complete replacement for physical IDs yet), and it has two modes I can put it in which generates a QR code on the screen with my data. One mode for police to scan at traffic stops which has my driver's license info, and one just called "age verification" which can be presented when buying alcohol which just verifies that I'm over 21. I like the privacy of the second mode, since there's no reason a liquor store needs to be able to see my home address.

I thought the same, but it only took me like 2 days to get used to it.
It is now. Dream Theater, "Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence" at 42:00 is a good one.

Haven't seen anyone mention it in here yet, but this is exactly why I use Aurora Store to search for and download apps instead of the Play Store. It still installs things so the Play Store can update it automatically if you want, but you don't have to deal with any ads.
If they're using a service to send the emails, like SendGrid or Mailchimp or something, that Unsubscribe survey is actually hosted by the email sending provider, and the more people that mark the email as spam or use the "I never signed up for this" option or similar, the worse it makes the user of the mail sending service look. If they used Sendgrid for example to send a mass email to 10k people, if more than 5% Unsubscribe or mark as spam or use the "I never signed up for this", the company might get their account locked down by Sendgrid until there's an investigation as to why they sent spam.
On the flip side of the argument, I have a pit mix and she's the sweetest thing in the world. Never has bitten anything other than a toy, and she doesn't even bark unless she gets the zoomies while playing. She's been great with my 2 year old nephew, too. Got her from the shelter when she was about a year and a half old. She's 50% pit, so I feel like if it was genetic she'd be way more aggressive.
Obligatory dog pic:
I'm thinking about making some changes to my home server to make it a little more robust and let me do some cool new things with it (like actually trust it for backing up data to with NextCloud, replicating VMs or data across sites, etc). I'm just looking for any advice people might have for this process to migrate hypervisors.
What I currently have:
- Windows 10 Pro OS with Hyper-V
- Running some applications on the host OS (Plex/PRTG/Sonarr/Radarr)
- Running a few VMs for things I set up after I realized "I should be doing these in VMs..."
- 4 HDDs for data, each just mounted individually. 2 for TV, 1 for Movies, 1 for Backups
What I'd like to have:
- Better OS for running the hypervisor (Proxmox is what I'm reading may be best, but I'm open to suggestions)
- Nothing running on the host OS other than a hypervisor
- All my services running virtualized, be that via Docker in a LXC or a guest OS.
- My Drives all in a RAID 5. Planning to add more drives at some point as well.
My thoughts on the process are that the "easiest" way may be:
- Just throw a new OS drive in to install Proxmox on
- Export my VMs from Hyper-V and import them into Proxmox
- Set up the services I had running on the host OS previously in their own VMs/containers
- Make a new RAID either: a. with new disks or b. by combining data from my existing disks so I can get a free few disks to start the RAID with, then moving data into the RAID and clearing out more disks to then add to the RAID, rinse and repeat until done (that's a lot of data moving I'd like to avoid...)
I wasn't sure if it would be a smarter idea to do something more like this though (assuming this is all possible, I'm not even sure that it all is). If this is possible, it might reduce my downtime and make it so I can tackle this in bits at a time instead of having an outage the entire time and feeling like I need to rush to get it all done:
- New OS drive for Proxmox
- Use Proxmox to boot my Windows 10 drive (this I'm not sure about) so that everything continues as it's currently set up.
- Slowly migrate my services out of the Windows 10-hosted VMs and host-installed services
- I probably still have to deal with the RAID the way I mentioned above
Is there any other method I'm just totally not thinking of? Any tips/tricks for migrating those Hyper-V VMs? That part seems straightforward enough, but looking for any gotchas.
The reason I haven't done anything yet is because I only have so much time in the day, and I'm not trying to dedicate an entire weekend to this migration all at once. If I could split up the tasks it'd make it easier to do, obviously there are some parts that would be time-consuming.
Thanks in advance!
