Yes, but it isn’t available (yet). The pebble 2 duo does not, but it has already shipped. I don’t know how many are still available and/or will be made.

Currently the app also has zero support for anything health-related, including sleep. If that will be fixed by the time the pt2 is shipping, who knows. This is probably not a huge problem for op, as he’s explicitly searching for a watch without smartphone reliance.

Even in the old app and on the old pebble watches, anything health related was an afterthought at best, and it also isn’t a focus of it officially. The new ones are using the same OS, so are incredibly similar. Which is generally a good thing, but also includes the lack of features related to anything “health”.

The modern Pebble has no heart rate sensor, and generally no useful exercise monitoring.

Ssh over Internet is fine as long as it’s properly setup (no password auth, root not allowed, etc.). Obviously a VPN is even better.

You can try to refund anyway, and explain the reason in the text box. Has worked for me in the past. There are actually people reading these as far as I can tell. If it didn’t work, all it cost was life 3 minutes.

Or if you have separated your devices into subnets/VLANs. Which becomes more important as your get more hardware that you don’t really trust.

Multiple times a day and many times a day isn’t necessarily the same thing. Also just having a 1-2 hours long timeout might still be a viable option preventing repeated spin ups, but still allowing spin down during longer unused periods.

While probably not worth it for your particular case, it might will be for others reading this. Ideally, one could observe the access patterns for a while a find a suitable timeout setting.

While that is still true, unless you spin them up many times a day, it’s a non-issue. Set your timeout to at least 30 minutes. Most jellyfin servers are not gonna be used fir many hours at night, for example. Or when everyone is at work/school.

These days, power is expensive for have people. If I keep my drives spinning 24/7, it’ll cost me around 150€ per year. If they spin when needed, it’ll cost me whatever percentage they are spinning, so in practice they are on for like 1-3 hours a day. So let’s say 20€ per year.

Tailscale is WireGuard under the hood, if you didn’t know. It’s an overlay network that uses WireGuard to make the actual connections, and has some very clever “stuff” to get the clients actually to connect, even if behind firewalls without needing port forwarding.

Using WireGuard directly basically just changes the app you use, which may or may not help with your issues. But the connecting technology is the exact same.

I’ve stopped caring about physical sports and their broadcast literal decades ago. I only occasionally watch relatively niche sports during the Olympics (climbing for example), but that’s it.

What I do watch is eSports. More exciting than watching a bunch of people run over a field repeatedly, trying to get a ball into a things or whatever.

I’d suggest looking into TeamSpeak, like others have mentioned. Trivial to self host, too.

Edit: to be clear, this would cover the voice call aspect of discord, not the chat channels and other community tools. While it’s can do text chat, it’s more of a side feature rather than core. I didn’t think it does images or video, but it’s been a hot minute.

Who cares what it looks like as long as it works? They want to get 2fa sms in their desktop, I highly doubt “pretty” is high on the requirements…

but you can do everything without it.

yes but why would you? There’s a reason we use GUIs, especially when new to a field (like virtualization).

I’ve gone with CachyOS, frankly it just works. Can recommend. You can tinker more if you want to, but there’s no need.

Mine are of course also on a VLan but with no Internet access unless they need it for everyday operation (like a radio, or the amplifier that can play Spotify).

We don’t use the manufacturer apps at all. Everything is integrated into (fully local) home assistant. No need to open a specific app to operate a switch, or a light. Everything in one place. Trivial and incredibly clear. Things that can be are of course automated.

Just because it’s a “smart” service doesn’t mean it has to connect to the Internet or a server or the manufacturer. If it does neither, it can’t be turned off by them.

All my devices run local-only protocols. Nothing leaves my house. The devices that would be proprietary were reflashed to tasmota (fully open source, local only). Others are either Zigbee or Shelly. While Shelly has a cloud connection, it’s fully optional and disabled by default (including automatic updates). The hardware is also supported by tasmota, and reflashing is always just 5 minutes of effort away.

There is absolutely nothing that any manufacturer has to do to keep my stuff working. I have to do a little something (keep my tiny server on, basically). But more importantly there is nothing any manufacturer can do to stop my stuff from working.

While it’s fantastic software, it’s probably a relative cannon to shoot at his problem. Maybe there’s a way around this, but I’ve found the necessary management, curation and bookkeeping that was necessary for it too be useful to be just way too much to be worth it. I mean it’s fun for some, including me to a degree, but not too this extent.

It hasn’t even been that long, but there was a couple that started building their own homestead in Spain or Portugal (I think) on YouTube. They had laid out the foundation and layout, gotten a mini excavator. They had already built it renovated a sorry of workspace.

I can’t for the life of me find it anymore. Searched on YouTube obviously, tried finding it in other ways. Tried more generic search terms (maybe it wasn’t in Spain/Portugal after all), It doesn’t seem to exist.

UnRaid doesn’t provide anything I am interested in, at all. Currently running TrueNAS for main storage and proxmox for virtualization, both ZFS based. If TrueNAS ever enshittifies, I’d run some bare metal Linux with ZFS. My workstations also run ZFS as the file system, making backups trivial. VM snapshots and backups of any system are trivial and take seconds (including network transfers).

I never understood why I’d even consider UnRaid for anything.

The title makes it seem like this is a fancy new invention. Cases have been doing this for a very long time. At least splitting the airflow is the PSU is at least common, possibly the norm. And having separated drives isn’t exactly new either? I don’t get it…

Of course I have. Specifically RadioParadise(.com) is great for this, which I’ve listened to through winamp’s shoutcast as well (multiple decades ago). I’ve even been a supporter for all those decades at this point. But it’s a very far cry away from the personalized (discovery) playlists. The efficiency diffference for discovering music is orders of magnitude: I find maybe 1-3 songs a month compared to 5+ in a week for discovery playlists (somtimes less, usually more). You can even skip songs you don’t like on there, but that still doesn’t make up for it being universal and not personalized.

It’s nice as a palate cleanser, or when I don’t wanna put effort into selecting what to play. But I’d lose my mind listening to it for truly extended periods of time. The music is great, and the (human) selection is superb, but just by the nature of personal taste, I only like around 30% of the music I’d say.
