What's on my USB stick you ask... A bunch of random shit I haven't touched for 8 years so I have no idea what it is and it's probably outdated, but I'd be damned if that usb stick is not In my keychain because "I might need it one day"

Here's an idea. Use a mikrotik router board. They are super cheap and support VPN natively. I use wireguard but it should also support openVPN as well. Maybe more I'm not sure. The small hap series are super cheap and works great.

Mikrotik all the way. But prepare yourself for a nice steep learning curve, but now that om past that i sware by it. Super fast and infinity configurable. The entire router configuration can be exported as a txt file and imported in seconds so if it breaks just get a new one and load up your config and you are good to go. Also the forums are a gold mine of information. What i love the most is just how fast it is. Setting take effect instantly. Also means it is extremely fast to lock yourself out of not careful. Again, steep learning curve but really good after that.

Is it too late to grief my g-drive with tonnes of AI generated fanfiction and bullshit documents for Gemini to train on?

I used this for a project once and its great. Super powerful and has a great API for automation https://kanboard.org/

Maybe if human Call centers upped the quality to something useful maybe they would not be so replaceable

BS like this has made it impossible to maintain a consistent experience for my parents who aren't super tech savvy. It's so frustrating helping them over the phone for hours only to realise that windows just on a whim changed major settings without any user interactions. Changed theirs OS to Debian now. Much better.

Probably something based on 1/6 th of a byte that originates form old IBM systems that used 6 bits per byte that was then later never changed into 8 bit systems so you now have to convert between 6 bit and 8 bit systems and then fractions, gotta get those good fractions. So they'd say something like my SSD is 170⅔ GB for a 128GB drive

Possible: yes

Recommend: absolutely not

My best advice is to NOT think of it as addons. If you want grafana or node red for example, just install them in seperate in a container not considering anything else about HA. Then just use them normally. You can still use the integrations for grafana and node red. Integrations work perfectly fine on HA in a Docker container.

Remember, very important: INTEGRATIONS ARE NOT ADDONS they are two very different things.
