I just got one of these for my MIL - what great little devices, aren't they? So well thought-out! I (unexpectedly) like it so much, I may get a couple more for travelling.

... "monitor?" Like, how? What sorts of data would be interesting?

I once read that nicotine was more addictive than heroin. I don't know whether that could be true, but as a former smoker myself, I can believe it.

Good luck.

Persistent terminal sessions. If the WM crashes, you still have your shell session. Say, if you're in the middle of a system upgrade.

Also, remoting in. If your session is in tmux, you can ssh into the machine and connect to an existing shell.

The internet existed for years before there were ever any ads.

I'd happily jettison every single shilling crapsite if I could. The important sites, and the best internet ecosystems, don't require ads.

That said, I did minimal research (for device support) and no planning, and HA is running my house, which includes 30 or so Z-Wave devices, a couple external cameras, a smart doorbell, my HVAC, and my irrigation system. Some of the systems are controlled by their own software (the bespoke stuff is often much more user friendly than the HA integration controls), but I have triggers for things like the front door keypad disarming the alarm when it's unlocked by the pet sitter and we're on vacation.

You may be right that it's better to plan things, but it's also entirely possible to successfully wing it.

I can't speak got KeepassDX, but as a developer, no programs are bug free. You should be able to check the release notes; if people are filing bugs and the dev is diligent in fixing them... yes.

At the University (West coast, USA), it was a mix based on the department. I worked in the physics lab, and all the machines were named after physicists.

Then I spent a decade in industry on the east coast, and all the machines were named by the common "scheme": location, purpose, number, etc. Very dry, unimaginative, and IMHO, very East Coast Corporate.

My personal servers are Greek Titans - Phaethusa, Tethys, etc. - and my home network is Middle Earth-based: WiFi networks are forests, servers and PCs are swords. I give our phones our initials; modern phones don't last long enough to name.

That's a pretty solid plan, although I'd use WireGuard instead of OpenVPN. Otherwise, step 1 may take a lot of time, whereas WG makes all that dumb simple. There are even tools (eg dsnet) that generate client configs that work with the WG Android client.

One fantastic thing about WG is not having to dick with CAs or CA authorities.
