I have around 100 ZigBee devices, roughly 40 WiFi devices, three dozen integrations, Music Assistant, etc. And yeah I was feeling the squeeze. 🤷 Let alone security cameras…

Here’s a list of a few coops: https://canadianworker.coop/join/members/

The list includes federations of other workers coops, like the Federation of EMT coops: https://fcpq.coop/

Yes I know. The title of the article makes it sound like it’s somehow a totally valid target.

No, just civilian infrastructure…

So they struck civilian infrastructure. More war crimes, got it.

There’s also a lot of smaller solutions, like smaller record label websites, and legacy music stores in whatever country you are.

Plenty of artists still do sell CDs though. I often buy them at the merch stand at shows. Many also sell DRM free digital files on sites like Bandcamp. I also buy a lot of music at the thrift stores and rip them. If all else fails, there’s always the high seas.

Another vote for a music server. Gonic/Navidrome is pretty low power and super useful!

Home assistant is another option, but I’ll say that if you’re serious about home automation you’ll quickly outgrow a Pi. It’ll run if you only have a handful of devices though.

The Wikipedia article is kind of misleading. The Samson options isn’t just MAD in that they plan to launch at their enemies. They plan to nuke other countries too. Like European countries that have nothing to do with the conflict. It’s a blackmail scheme. (Source: Hersh, Seymour (1991), The Samson Option: Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal and American Foreign Policy)
