Provided this is not a joke, have you considered that this might be a coping mechanism? Almost the same way that people cutting themselves is a way of coping with stress or depression.

I would recommend talking to your GP or a psychologist.

Debian testing is insanely robust. I am currently not running it (testing) because I use it for work, but my past experience has been excellent.

Have been customer with hetzner for more than 10 years and they are awesome. First physical server (HDD swaps in 10 minutes!) Now on their cloud environment. It just runs and is cost effective!

You can even use terraform to describe your resources and have them created automatically, or use the API from any programming language.

Man. That is a fair and well thought over response.

I appreciate this! Articles like this is what I’m on lemmy for!

Because calling your post a response would not do it justice enough. An article indeed.

Yeah, they would probably let you pay a small fee per month for this feature.

Look up your inverter brand and pray there is an integration for it. Also: try to make your electrical meter smart to be able to tell the difference between pulling from grid and delivering to grid. If you already have a smart meter, see if it exposes some interface (like P1 with the DSMR protocol for example) to easily integrate the meter into home assistant.

I have done all this with a goodwe inverter and a kamstrup meter P1 port using a DSMR dongle.

If you need any pointers, dm me.
