Like others said, most likely your HA IP changed, had this happen recently in a power outage. Need to either set them to use hostname or make the HA machine have a static IP.

Pretty cool idea, just wanted to say I agree that Reddit, most tech site comment sections, and even Lemmy unfortunately really fall into this hive mind mentality. Saw a Reddit post on first time home owner or whatever that community is, people flaming the guy because he had the audacity to have a pickup truck with an American flag decal, just so ingrained in the culture. Truck bad! America bad!

Also, what will that look like 10 years from now when "popular app of 2024" is dead and gone, and new thing has no reason to build an app for a 10 year old car. Theres a reason why people like these mirroring systems to much, let the device that is likely to be replaced every 2 or so years and get regular updates handle the software.

Yes, for me this has probably been the biggest and also the easiest one. So much data, in my case, willingly given to one of the worst companies from a privacy stand point. Every photo, email, etc, etc. Email was a very easy transition over a few months, I'm shocked but how quickly I've got the point of only logging into gmail once every 6 months or so just to check if anything still going there. I realized I didn't really need all of my photos going to their servers, now running no backup for photos although my plan is to start using iTunes for periodic encrypted local backups to my PC, mainly for photos and contacts.

This is an excellent one and one I've been dreading getting to. I have a system that works great among several credit cards all setup to optimize cash back and track certain spending my having specific purposes for the various cards. These are all mainstream providers, although I haven't looked I can assume the privacy policies are not great.

I'd love a service that could offer both an internally good privacy policy as well as allowing for many virtual cards that don't require a real name to validate. I could envision a service that works like this...

  • Still a credit card.
  • Unlimited or near unlimited virtual cards, no real name required with merchant to validate.
  • Similar protections as other credit cards regarding fraud etc, generally accepted as much safer than using debit.
  • Binning to allow categories for the various virtual cards (only really helpful for tracking purposes, guess this could always be done by hand).
  • Decrease cash back amount - say 0.5 % with the difference between the more typical 1-3% based on category being extra profit to offset what is lost by not sharing any customer data with other parties.

I realize Privacy.com probably comes close on some of these but works more like a debit card from what I understand. Of course cash is the best but I'm not sure that convenience tradeoff is one I'm ready to make yet, but more power to you. That is a LOT of personal data not bouncing around various parties.

Excited to check it out!

And at least that entity has some stake in doing what they say they are doing. Proton VPN just to pick one as an example should care a lot about if a story were ever to surface about not being trustworthy as users would leave since that's it's only purpose.

My ISP on the other hand probably doesn't care too much since my choices are A) take it, or B) leave it and go without internet (or drastically subpar services, 5G internet, satellite, etc).
