  • wondering if all this investment they’re doing on voice is going to have diminishing returns, like, the whole pitch for HA cloud integration is that you could see and use your HA devices with your cloud enabled voice assistant services, right? Nabu Casa makes money for the HA project. is getting rid of the middle man worth it? I needed some first hand experience to convince myself about getting into it or just simply keep paying for NC





  • I bought a N5100 from AliExpress and I use it to run my -arr apps and Plex, and so far it has behaved really good. It’s fanless in an all-metal case and it gets a bit hot, but nothing you wouldn’t put your hand over. Weirdly, before I installed Debian in it, the BIOS and UEFI console made the CPU so hot I was worried it would not work without a fan, but after the OS took over, it’s working without any issue. I installed 16gb of ram in it and two SSDs, and the power consumption is so low I’m really amazed.

    Edit: I might add, I bought it barebones, so I missed the W11 license, but I was never planning to use it anyway.
