How is the heat production and ticking noise on the Belkin? I have been pretty content with a qi1 anker magnetic puck charger, but I read the qi2 from them gets pretty hot.

I am not the full expert on the subject, but I assume the profiling is to a lesser extent. For one you don’t browse within a Google account.

I also like the slimmed down UI and subscription management of invidious compared to yt.

And don’t forget no ads and sponsorblock. Although some add ons like vinegar for safari get you pretty close to uninterrupted viewing.

All said, probably not the best in regards to pure privacy.

How quickly those this flood your storage?

Currently I ran invidious in docker. The solution is … just okay, performance isn’t great. But at least you only stream whatever you pick for watching.

I only follow around 15 channels. For simplicity 10 video are added daily to my subscription feed.

Are there privacy concerns with this solution. This together with ad blocking were my main drivers for invidious.

I hear your argument, and I agree to it. For new drivers it should also become common sense to plan your route save and thus comfortable.

But OP specifically mentioned his daughter experiences anxiety. That pushes it into a different category if it was not meant metaphorically.

If your daughter gets anxiety or panic attacks while driving, I suggest her to get professional help/therapy instead of avoiding particular (but common) traffic situations. I’m talking from experience. Fostering the anxiety now by not acknowledging it, might end up with an ever longer road to recovery for self confidence later on.

Imported chinese EVs are still undercutting the European manufacturers, as much they have been lobbying to have increased import fees on the cheaper non EU EVs. The narrative is that they are heavily subsidised to the extend they cannot compete anymore, in so crippling overal in-continent EV development. Resulting in a dependence to the East.

If I am not mistaken such import fee has just passed in Brussel, in order to protect the European market.

In a weird way, humanity has been longing for greener automobile solutions, and now that it’s there, Europe wants to slow it down.

I have a Mac mini m1 and run several containers to manage media, arrs and vpn. I also have a Debian vm for homeassitant. I had used UTM prior but now moved the vm to VMware fusion.

Main issue I run into is not enough ram as the base model only has 8gb. And I do not have redundancy optimised when I reboot. I have it locked with a password so it doesn’t auto run the containers or the vm.

I double the mac for light browsing too. I considered getting a dedicated Linux mini pc for the services next to a desktop Mac. But my usage is too sparse at both ends of the spectrum.

I don’t find it extremely resembling, but okay. Will they ban 88 on all shirts ever? Extremists will find symbols in anything.

Sifu was on my shortlist so I’m happy

Yes it has been already for a couple of weeks

I simply created the usb from the aarch64 image provided. Wouldn’t it configure it right from that?

Thank you for pointing out the obvious mistake.

I tried the hass route instead, but can’t get it to work due to dependency issues once I try to install the supervisor package. Even though the aarch64 OS agent seems to install without issue. I’m tired of getting it to work.

I have managed to install HASS on a Mac mini m1 through a Debian vm in UTM, that is serving its introduction purposes right now. Likely I will end up getting a home assistant Green at some point, but I don’t find the price that appealing for what it is. Or I need to shell out even more for a n100 mini pc.

Me too. I realised I don’t need anything more. It’s easy, supposedly private and quite elegant.

Why is it highly recommended? And do you know where it is hosted?
