Cloud Free Smart Home (self.selfhosted)
submitted 1 week ago by wholookshere to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

So I'm looking to purchase a house soon, and before I paint I want to set up wiring in the house for a cloud-free smart home.

I currently rent an apartment. I have a home server running unraid with home assistant, and can run whatever server software I want to run. I'm looking at upgrading to a townhouse. Before I have someone come in and paint, I want to wire things for my ideal smart home.

My main focus will be networking and speakers.

I want to set up a server closet for my lab. I plan to get mikrotik switches. I currently plan on using tp-link omada APs for each floor.

I'm less confident in the speaker setup.

System Audio Inputs:

  • TV in living room
  • TV in bedroom
  • Computer in office
  • Computer in bedroom#2
  • Any mobile device

audio out:

  • Living room
  • office
  • bedroom (x2)
  • kitchen
  • primary bathroom

I'm imagining having a receiver for all the TV inputs/outputs and a central one for the bathroom, kitchen. I'm unsure about the office.

Cost is not a problem, I'm okay with 10-15k on the equipment for this.

What kind of amps/receivers would work best?

You know asking AI is asking to be lied to yes?

Like, Apple has gone so far as to say it's impossible for current LLMs to reason.

It's incapable of knowing what is true in it's current form according to apple.

Don't trust AI to actually know anything.

Can you at least see how both statements are whataboutism?

Yes that should be more talked about. So that makes this article invalid?

Adding to the other reply,

Is more probably what there referencing.

Doesn't make it better, but for sure a different cultural context

Correct but you also dont want an encrypted password. You want a hashed password.

When you see study, it's more statistical analysis of things.

So things like clinical studies doing studies on population of people.

Where this is more publication of a mathematical idea.

Source: have a degree in physics and it's one of those unwritten rules. Kinda like how English sentences have an order. The soft brown big bunny sounds wired.

You’re trying to please a boomer that’s still angry that email exists in the first place.

So I’m looking to spend money on a new TV and audio setup.

I have two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, an office, and two bathrooms that I’d like to fit with speakers. I do rent so I do need wireless.

For the TV in the living room and one bedroom I want a sound bar, but am planning for bookshelf style speakers for the rest of the rooms. I live in apartment building so I want to avoid a subwoofer. There’s decent sound proofing though, and I don’t plan on cranking the volume for any of these.

I want to be able to combine any rooms with each other and play music from any tv or Spotify.

Im currently looking at Sonos systems, but want to consider something more self hosted.

I wouldn’t know where to start looking for good systems. I imagine music assistant would handle the logic of what I need, but no clue on speakers and amplifiers.

Any ideas?

That assumes dev resources are limitless. And for a company the size of proton that’s certainly not true.

They can only have X amount of devs. So how they allocate them says a lot.

Also given that most complaints I’ve seen at the top are about specific missing features for ages, I think it’s safe they’re putting their eggs into too many baskets.

That would defeat the purpose of federation.

It becomes a central choke point of moderation. Who gets to decide what instances are part of global and which ones aren’t. Because a free for all isn’t going to end well. And then you’re back at Reddit.

When the other territory is actively invading mine, no I don’t see how territory makes another otherwise valid target not valid.

100% of Russians invading Ukraine came from Russia.

Airbus already has an A320 plant in Alabama. https://us.airbus.com/en/airbus-us-locations#:~:text=The%20Airbus%20U.S.%20Manufacturing%20Facility,aircraft%2C%20producing%2060%20aircraft%20annually

That plant is why airbus was brought in on the Bombardier deal. It was originally to make the C220 in that plant to get around import tariffs.
