I know what you mean. Trying to get automations working in HA annoys me, I’m way more comfortable in Node Red. I find HA a good way to get the devices into the system and display data, then NodeRed to actually do my automations. So much more you can do in there.
If you’re on the same install that long you might never have seen them. Iirc the only thing you’d get 10 years ago was overview and maybe Map. Now it’s got a dozen stupid headings you have to turn off, it’s confusing and silly. Some of them are completely empty with no obvious way of using them, like Climate.
They do on a new install as long as I can remember. Maybe you turned them off in Settings and forgot? I haven’t seen anything that will turn them off for you, other than maybe adding something to configuration.yaml that does it.
IKR, wow, 32 GB of DDR5 ram (at today’s prices) being run by a gerbil wheel.
I’ve installed wayland based DEs on all sorts of cheap-shit, 2013 era hardware and never have a problem. IDK what sort of janky crap it takes to have to run X11 still. A 90s SpeakNSpell?
If you get a camera that is ONVIF compatible, you won’t need an app to set it up. Vikylin, amcrest are a couple I’ve used.
Use tailscale to access your cameras, don’t portforward them. They are pathetically terrible for security.
Apparently I must work for System76
OPNsense
Auld lang syne, my dear.
You can enable Dropbear SSH server during boot, I know it’s used to be able to enter disk encryption passwords during boot on headless servers. Presumably you could use this to display boot processes on another system quite easily with an SSH session on the system with a display. You could automate that system to monitor for available SSH sessions and start displaying it when it’s available.
NC is fine. Ignore the haters.
Why the hell would the FUTO guide recommend OpenVPN? It’s a nightmare. I guess they also recommend pfSense instead of OPNsense so there’s that.
For your own sanity, learn about Wireguard.
News to me and I have Fedora on a dozen varied computers. Never missed a step.

Happy to help.
The docker setup is probably less maintenance than a straight install, but your usecase might need the bare install. there’s also Home Assistant that can add Piper as an Addon (which is a docker container inside the HassOS docker container). Also the Hass install will let you add faster-Whisper and Openwakeword for a full voice assistant that autoconnects via the Wyoming protocol.
I used Arch for a couple years on servers. It was a pain in the ass with constant updates and breaking changes.
Most server applications aren’t looking for the latest updates and aren’t ready for them. Security updates alone don’t generally break applications.
I can’t imagine a hosted provider of any size wanting this sort of thing.
At the gettin’ place.
Piper just moved to https://github.com/OHF-Voice/piper1-gpl
It’s fine, and it’s probably the best TTS you’re going to run locally.
And more fucking shit in the left navbar that doesn’t belong there, I’d imagine.
