I like ZigBee for Home-Automation 🙂

Hardware from many different manufacturers, all compatible with each other.

• Philips
• Ikea
• Sonoff
• Xiaomi

No proprietary bridges, no cloud, no vendor lock-in. Just some free and open source software (Zigbee2MQTT / Home Assistant) and a tiny USB dongle (ConBee II) as a network coordinator.

All meshing nicely and every grid-powered device effectively extends my network’s range by relaying datagrams.

Part 2 of the FreeBSD Foundationals series is out! "ZFS - The Last Filesystem You'll Ever Need."

We go from the philosophy of silent data corruption to practical, battle-tested data management. Covers pools, datasets, why you shouldn't blindly add L2ARC, native encryption, and using sanoid/syncoid to turn backups into a solved problem.

If you've ever lost data and decided "never again," this is for you. :freebsd:
