RSA4096 has a bit of an edge over ed25519 both in effective key size as well as support by things like YubiKeys and other HSMs that is beneficial for GPG but not really helpful for SSH.

SSH generally best to use ed25519, for GPG RSA4096 is better supported by HSMs and slightly more secure for longer-lived keys like root keys.

Have a bunch of KAUF Smart Bulbs that come pre-flashed with ESPHome

Also have a bunch of SonOff S31’s and a bunch of Treatlife 3-way in-wall switches running ESPHome, but those both all required opening them up and making jigs to reflash them over to ESPHome from the stock firmwares.

(Edit: Plus a ton of custom ESPHome boards and piles-o-wires running ESPHome)

Yeah, I used Chrome up until extremely recently because genuinely no browser Just Works to the extent Chrome does.

Fast, good media codec support, Web API support for hardware access for PWAs, doesn’t lock up w/ a lot of tabs (post-quantum FF is better about this, but not quite there), excellent DevTools, and just generally snappier and more polished than even chromium.

I switched to firefox recently exclusively for better home-manager support, and other than the ability to use home-manager more easily, it’s just a slightly slower and jankier experience at all times whether it’s requiring transcode for Jellyfin, laggy WebGL performance, janky DevTools, or missing WebAPIs.

Yeah that’s going to be a very handy feature and a strong motivator for me to get the untracked amount down to zero.

Oh dang, I really wish this To-do functionality had been there before my partner and I spent so much time building something similar between HA, Matrix, and Gitea. We’ll probably stick with that bootleg solution since it is a bit more fully-featured (markdown, comments, etc.) but it’s great that this simpler version of that functionality is now built-in.

This forum post hints at some of the complexities involved with handling long-term data natively in HA: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/long-term-statistics-what-is-the-retention-policy-and-how-can-it-be-changed/335050

Needless to say, HA is a great tool, and its short-term monitoring capabilities are decent, but it isn’t great at everything and I think that processing datasets >10 days is just not really within it’s capabilities at this time.

I’m not sure if there is a good way to add historical data to HA, and to be honest it doesn’t do a great job of handling it’s own historical data in my experience.

LTSS into InfluxDB and/or TimescaleDB with Grafana as a frontend seem to be fairly common for long-term historical data.
