I let my home automation platform (NUC + Ubuntu + Home Assistant on Docker) slip on updates for a very long time. This morning, I decided to go scorched earth and rebuild it all with Proxmox and Home Assistant OS.
I have regrets. We’ve forgotten how to use a house that is not smart.
It’s so dark.

Big remarks
Over the past few days in Canada I’ve met some fantastic young folks with a glow that I’ve not seen in a long time. It gave me a hope for the future that my home in the United States does not.
My first drinks of the year: vodka dewsk, pilsner, malört, bloody mary.
The state of our country is really angering me today. I dunno why today. But I am needing a lot of very loud metal.
Just played my first game of Broomall in a year… My team won and I scored all of our goals. Oh yeah, baby.
