I have a rainwater tank, and I use an esp32 (nodemcu) flashed with Tasmota, and a waterproof ultrasonic sensor to measure water level.

Yes

True, but I really appreciate that someone is doing it. (It’s far beyond my capabilities…)

Or use this…

I’m just running them independently. Although the proxmox helper scripts automate the creation of a load of bits that I use. https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/

I don’t run much, just a Debian-vm, Unifi docker, Jellyfin and Jellyseer (and some *arr) apps.

I grabbed a cheap Dell Wyze from eBay, then stuck proxmox on it, then Home Assistant in a VM. Works beautifully, plus I can run other VMs and containers. Plus snapshots etc. It runs at 5w idle and 15w under load.

Hate to say it, but unless you go for air-con, just a standard pedestal fan works way better than the evaporative coolers.

Just wish there was an iOS app…

I still enjoy the “Dell’s poker face” from Only fools and horses…

But probably not what you’re aiming for ;)

Will it run doom?

For me probably Terry Pratchett’s dwarves. Or TBH quite a lot of his characters…

Nice bag, where’s it from?

Yes

This needs a picture of Bruce Willis taped to the front…

Ooh, that reminds me, need to buy a new beard trimmer…

I always liked Dr. Strangelove

I’m not sure, but from a web search this may have some bearing: “Kaspar Hauser of Nuremberg, Germany”.

Just conjecture, as I can find no other references that make sense.
