    My Ubiquity Dream Machine has Wireguard integrated. So it’s literally just a few clicks to spin up a server. I use it in combination with a port forward on my FritzBox and a dyn ip using https://dynv6.com/ and a domain i had laying around anyways.

    Regarding Wireguard: Wireguards (imho) best feature is split tunneling. You can decide which ips or subnets to route through the tunnel. See AllowedIPs.

    As a default it says something like

    AllowedIPs = 0.0.0.0/0

    Which means “just route everything through me”.

    However you could allow your subnets only. Like this I use my private and my business vpn at the same time.

    AllowedIPs = 10.0.0.0/24,10.0.1.0/24,10.0.2.0/24,10.0.3.0/24

    You mentioned, that you have not a lot experience with networking, so your subnet may look like that. Just check your local ip and replace the last digit with 0/24

    AllowedIPs = 192.168.2.0/24

    Once I had a few door bell tasters from a custom pc build laying around. I drilled a small hole in closet next to my couch, put the taster in it, soldered it to a cheap esp, flashed tasmota on it and used it to trigger some automations. Nowadays I would use esphome.

    I like Habitica. But after a while it stopped motivating me.

    Now I use Donetick. You can self host it and use it with your whole household. Now my wife and me are competing with our chores 😎 Also it has a feature called “things”. These can trigger new Tasks. You can set them bia the API with Home Assistant. We use it to create tasks like “getting the laundry off the washing maschine”, etc.

    Also it helps to use an llm to generate rpg-sounding quests instead of just creating tasks. That way you feel more like a hero on a quest, than a bored guy cleaning the toilet.

    This was my opinion too. However like a year ago my best friend asked me: “Hey, I want to try linux. Which distro do you recommend?” I told him, that I recommend Linux Mint for beginners. And that I use Arch. Like a day later he wrote me again: “I’ve installed Arch, lol. Wasn’t that hard. The guide is actually very straight forward.”

    This changed how I see Arch today. Arch isn’t super complex or hard to use. It’s just a bit more time consuming to set up. On the other hand it just works once set up.
