I use FFUpdater, but I’ve been planning to switch to obtainium, so I’m definitely following this.

I have the same question

Yeah, the term is sometimes used to refer to powerful people, but originally it was coined to refer to specifically Jewish powerful people.

“Gains”

“Everyone I don’t like is a war criminal”

If we are talking about ethnicity, there were huge liberties taken. I think a few of the romans were actually Italian but no one else was close to plausible.

Thanks, this is one of the few truly beginner-friendly blogs I’ve found (not just this post, but the entire blog). It would be great for people to suggest some other more up-to-date resources for someone starting out. Specifically, this blog talks about trying and comparing different setups, factoring in costs, time commitments, dealing with setbacks, preparing for different use cases, etc.

There are lots of resources that share technical details, how-tos, system specs, etc., but not many that I’ve found walking through the decision making process including what worked and what didn’t and why.

What are some important things that have changed in the past five years that would change some if the choices?

Is it fine for a billion dollar company to ripoff smaller artists? It’s a form of piracy, so this would be allowed, too.

How do you change that without completely stripping property rights away from artists though? Not just corporate IP, but all artists?

In my case it was a specific use case in that I have a number of outdoor lights that I want to control without needing to go back in the house every time. Folks here have given a few options that would work well for this without relying on the internet, but I already have the setup installed at this point

That’s helpful. It seems like a system an insane person would come up with, but I understand it.

Thanks. That helps.

This is really amazing to me. I had no idea that it was using the internet to send the on/off signal from my phone, up to a server (multiple servers), just to send the command back to my home network, and to the device. That seems like an absolutely bonkers system to turn on a switch. I would be better off to repurpose an old RC toy to control the switch!

I don’t really understand why a computer is necessary at all, is the thing. I know that it’s possible to use wifi network to send a signal between two devices. I have a sound board that works this way, and manages to communicate precise multichannel instructions directly over the network without an internet connection.

If I want to turn on a light switch, it seems like all I should need to send is the location of the light switch on the network and the on/off command. I know that there is not the computing power in the light switch itself to process much more than that.

Do these devices all connect to a remote server to switch on and off??
