No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's easier to say "hey Google, turn off all lights" than go to Home Assistant and turn each off by hand.
Rhasspy works great for that
I'm sure. But my raspberry pi 3 can barely run Hass without overheating. (had to remove adguard from the same device because that made it overheat a few times a week)
Maybe when I upgrade it to a proper home server, I'll look into replacing my Google home speakers.
I'm running domoticz on a 3 with an rf-link. Although it just manages some lights, it's usually 99%+ idle.
I have a remote for that, kaku remote which sends an off for device one and domoticz turns the lights off for me. When I forget, there is a fixed time in a schedule for off and 2 times for 1, 1 fixed, 1 30m before sun down.
I agree, I find using a web interface/app to cumbersome, the remote is a lot nicer to use. (And I have the original remotes available as well, for when I messed to much with domoticz. ;) )
Even easier to pair a sensor to Home Assistant so the lights can turn on automatically when you enter the room. Then you don't need to interact with a voice assistant or an app to turn on a light.
