I don't know about him, but I really don't want to be screwing around replacing my openers

That would be neat, but I really doubt it will ever happen

What don't you like about ratgdo? It seems pretty good on paper, I've not yet got one in my hands. Hopefully soon

So powering on and powering off will eventually be handled by a Powershell script I use to kick of the backups (More than just Borg goes into my offsite/offline backups) and the reason it gets powered off is that the external drive I connect to my desktop computer gets shared out, and sometimes Windows mixes the drive letters up, or the Share permissions get out of whack. I find that if the VM is on when its screwed up, Debian really doesn't like the mount and ends up causing some weird issues. So if I just leave it off until I have my ducks in a row with the backup drive, it all works perfectly. I guess there is also no point it in sitting there powered on 24/7, when I only do the backups monthly too

As for why its a dedicated VM, a few years ago I noticed I was constantly moving backup software, trying other solutions etc, which just doesn't work. If you change backup software every 6 months, you don't really have any real long term backups. So I decided Borg and the VM its installed on needs to stay very stable, so I settled on just throwing it in own VM. This way I never need to move it, migrate it, etc. Its always just there and it works

Good to hear! I replied above about it, here was my reply

I am using CloudFlare in front of it, so that’s probably why. But even directly its pretty quick. I guess NVMe storage and decent internet means its fast?

Thanks!

Honestly I'd love to throw a LAN party

Thanks! No idea why you were downvoted

I have no way to prove it, but I'm 99.9% sure that CenterPoint Energy (Who services this grid around here) leave stuff on its last legs so it gets damaged in a hurricane, and they can claim that juicy FEMA money to fix it.

Maybe I'll give it a go again, after all it does have a really nice slick WebUI

I really think so too, really looking forward to getting it properly deployed

What the heck! Not for me. Got a screenshot?

It sure can, but so far I've not found much use for it. I set it up to see if it can block YouTube ads in the mobile app, but it can't. Since I already use uBlock Origin, I don't know what I gain
