I wonder if HomeKit and HomeKit bridge would satisfy that itch.

I set it up so I can use Siri to open my garage door. Works great! You just need at least one HomeKit device like an Apple TV or a HomePod.

Prologue is an iOS app that can play audiobooks from a Plex library. I didn’t know they were working on ABS compatibility but that would be great. As much as I love ABS, Prologue is far more polished.

Well what’s nice is that any device on your Tailscale network has a WireGuard connection between any other device on that network. You can also use exit nodes. While all of that can be achieved with WireGuard, the complexity of that can grow quite large as you add more nodes.

Tailscale!

lol this is such a classic Linux trope

Person A: I can’t seem to get this to work! Arg!

Person B: I have been running this for years with no issues. It just works!

It wasn’t until windows shat itself and I couldn’t boot into it anymore that I took my Linux drive more seriously.

Maybe it’s a Wayland joke?

Today I updated and now one of my cores is at 100% and the fans on my laptop won’t shut up.

Yet here you are on a research project.

Subnets

Is there any advantage to having extra ports over a dongle with all of those at once?

All of the ikea Zigbee devices I’ve bought work seamlessly in HA and usually have custom blueprints made by the community.

Yes exactly. QuickSync has been on Intel CPUs (i5 and up) since Sandy Bridge. But I’ve heard that only since 4th gen has it been out.

I would recommend a used SFF PC for docker, and a separate NAS like a Qnap for file storage.

Have fun! My only advice is to take it slow. You don’t have to smart-ify every room and every gadget in your house all at once.

Firefox and Jellyfin webui.

Settings >> Display >> Display Mode >> TV

Then get a small Bluetooth remote that has arrow keys, enter, backspace, and escape.

What don’t you like about docker?

Is it necessary to dedicate a WAP to IoT, etc? I would recommend setting up separate SSIDs and connect each to their own VLAN, and each VLAN a subnet. And have each WaP broadcast each SSID and have the router handle the traffic routing. That way WAPs are dedicated to the devices that they are near, not the devices they are assigned to.

When you install Tailscale on a device, that device is now a part of a virtual private network, and gets its own IP, usually starting with 100.*

So if you usually access your Jellyfin instance 192.168.0.1:8096, and you install Tailscale on your server and a client device, check which IP Tailscale assigned your server and replace 192.168.0.1 with that IP. Make sure to keep the port in the url (the thing after the colon. Jellyfin’s default webui port is 8096).

The main benefit here is not having to open a port. You can still access the port that Jellyfin’s webui is behind without exposing it to the internet.

If that’s a problem then I don’t want to be solved.
