If I can't have control over shit happening, then I just don't care.

I think it was Další Lama who said: "If a problem has a solution, there is no reason to worry. If there is no solution, worrying will not help."

I do have an Onyx Boox tablet, the Note 2 plus to be specific, and I do run Calibre and calibre-web on my home server.
Though I don't actually use calibre-web at all, and the full flat calibre only to organise the collection. Usually I just copy the files to my tablet manually, but I do leverage the built-in RSS reader in Calibre to create my own epub "newspaper" periodically, which is synced to the tablet by Synching.
I have also used to have (actually still have it, but not use it) an old Kobo touch with Koreader, and I intended to download the books wirelessly using the calibre-web, but honestly, I just copied it over an USB anyway...
If I think about it, I could simply sync my whole library over Synching.

It's usually a butt call, it easily happens in your pocket or bag, specially if you have other items in it as well. Some phone/cupholders in car might be just the right shape to press the power button repeatedly when turning or going over bumps.
Sometimes I wonder how can people not notice they're calling emergency, because the phone usually makes loud noise and counts down before actually calling... But then I realise that if I have switched off notifications on my smart watch, I often miss a call ringing in my pocket, so...

Never, they'll try again and again with different names, covered by different purposes and stuck to another law.

"Can you tell in one sentence or less, why is America the greatest country in the world?"

For inspiration I'll describe our setup:

We have a TP link TAPO camera, it sits on a VLAN without access to the internet. We can access and watch it through home assistant. There's a custom integration that allows for some control of the camera including motion control, motion and noise detection, though the basic integration should be fine by now for just the video and audio feed.

Since we have some notification set up when the motion or noise is triggered, we don't need to have the video feed open all the time (it even pops up on our Kodi TV). Though, we do use an old spare android phone as a dedicated baby monitor, but we're not tied to using just that one.

This is stationary for our home though and the initial setup of the camera does require internet connection, but after that... It all lives locally.

We also do have a cheap TrueLife video baby monitor, closed loop, with a dedicated receiver unit, but that is more of a travel solution. No fancy function, just video and audio feed from the camera to the parent unit. The range of this thing is rubbish though...
And when we don't need video feed, we use regular Motorola PMR walkie-talkies, one of them (on the child side) in VOX mode. Any baby monitor can only dream of its range and battery life...

So, that's our setup in a nutshell. If you'd like to know more, feel free to ask 😉

Same boat here, I have the 5 II and I absolutely love it. Great size, the camera is OK on auto but can do wonders in manual mode (depending on your skill).
The lack of software support is a bummer though. I was surprised it's not in LineageOS' official support anymore...

Do you use any custom ROM on your Xperia?

I think it is dangerous, although I like music as well. The only thing I would consider are bone conducting headphones that leaves your ears open and don't block the outside world.

Lidl. It's Parkside.

Cheers. Okay, now I even understand that little pictogram near it... So not very much use for me.

Eh, no wonder it looks shittier, I guess the whole set cost about the same as the one you mentioned... 🤭😅

I too have a tp-link tapo indoor camera with said hacs component. I have set alerts for sound and movement, both work well, it need some tuning tough, like mic sensitivity...
For live video feed I use a webrtc camera from hacs as it has much better latency.
As a child monitor it works really well.

Oh shoot, great, that should do it for now and is definitely eisier than setting out the nextcloud. Though I hope we will get our own nextcloud server somewhere down the line.
Thanks

It used to be the name of my character back when I played DnD, and the very origin was some online dwarvish names generator.

Hi, I have an Unraid server (currently offline due to moving :'-/ ) running

VMs:

• 2 full flat Windows and Pop_OS! VMs with GPU passed through
• 2 low resource Windows and Pop_OS! VMs accessible by VNC
• Home assistant OS

Docker containers:

• Calibre + Calibre-web: apart from managing my ebook library, calibre goes through my RSS feed and generates daily epub newspaper/magazines that are send by Syncthing to my eink tablet
• Syncthing: apart from that it also synchronizes my handwritten notes from my eink tablet between my devices
• Nextcloud: intended to replace Google/Microsoft cloud, but, due to previous apartment's internet connection with PIA triple-ish NAT situation, is only used to backup photo/video from my phone (might change later)
• EMBY: media streaming
• Gitea: WIP, not currently used
• dokuwiki: WIP, intended to acumulate manuals to home appliances and stramlined directions on how to use and maintain them
• influxDB and Grafana: values and graphs from Home Assistant

The server was born when I merged my desktop PC, that was off and not utilized most of the time anyway, and my off the shelf NAS with 4 drives in raid5, that was slow, loud and could only run built-in garbage services. I ran Emby on Windows on my desktop, meaning I would have to manully turn it on every time I wanted to watch something.

Now my server runs on Ryzen 5 1600 with 48GB of RAM, GTX 1060 salvaged from a minig rig and total of 7 drives - 4 HDDs, 2 Sata SSD mirrored for cache and containers and 1 NVME SSD for VMs.

I know I will..

Since I'm kinda fan of Terry Pratchett, I naturally have HEX at home.
