How I turned a manual Ubuntu install into a fully automated, Tailscale-locked Minecraft server for my kids - and whether I actually trust the Microsoft account it all depends on.
How I run my house and garden on a self-hosted Home Assistant — a Raspberry Pi, a vendor-neutral Zigbee stack, a solar battery that rides through blackouts, fully-automated tortoises, and a solar array oversized on purpose. Local-first, no cloud.
Four salvaged panels, one Bluetti, and four labelled lanes across the garden - a build where the only number that can kill the box is voltage, so the amps get spent on purpose.
