I use INWX (based in Germany). Prices are consistently low (not always the cheapest, but fair). The web UI is a bit rusty, but it works perfectly and you can manage everything there.

That show is equal parts content and advertising. That is a bit too much for me…

Chris Roberts is doing the same game for 35 years now and has proven to be bad at organizing it several times.

I am not sure how two synced HA instances (if that’s even possible) would help. You would need to allow your IoT devices to be accessible by the Home Assistant instance you want to use with your personal devices. If that seems like a risk to you, then why not run HA in the DMZ alltogether?

That’s the way to do it. The problem is that the request originates from the browser of you website visitor. You need to open a path for them to you media server. Nginx and it’s reverse proxy functionality is exactly what you need for that.

There are lots of cheap Zigbee (multi) buttons available. If you want something a little bit fancier I can 100% recommend Home Buttons. You can either build it yourself (3D printed enclosure, custom PCB) or buy one already built for you. They each fancy an e-ink display you can configure with Material Design Icons (or even custom text in case of the bigger one). They integrate into Home Assistant via MQTT and can be fully used for any automation you would like. You can even change the 4 or 6 button labels using Home Assistant.

I assume buying cinema tickets will require a PlayStation account?!

Long story short: The USA are not the moral compass of the world (thank god).

I totally understand your concerns. We just don’t have such cold winters here in Germany. And I also understand your point more (also after having read your other comments). If the insulin vial in question is a spare it will most likely not being noticed if it freezes until it is needed.

In theory you could use the Bluetooth sensors of the companion app which can be used to detect BLE beacons. But that would require a special Bluetooth device that activates once a threshold temperature has been detected. Maybe such things exist (I’m thinking of (food) supply chain monitoring), but I am not aware of any.

I know this is technically not an answer to your question, but as a fellow T1 diabetic (for 20+ years) and dad to diabetic child (currently 2½ years old): Is this something that regularly happens to you? I don’t know where you live, but in over 20 years of being a T1 diabetic I never had a vial of regular insulin go bad. I don’t have to worry about the cost of insulin as my insurance would without any questions replace any medications gone bad for me, but I understand that this is a luxury not everyone shares.

There are products (but I have to assume you are aware of this) that can help you with the temperature safe transport of insulin for everyday use (basically insulated pouches with an integrated cooling pad). That may be something you can look into if this is something you need to worry about.

• Transport Tycoon
• C&C Red Alert and Tiberian Sun
• Anno 1602 (1602 A.D.)
• Theme Park
• Commander Keen
• Doom 2 (and Wolfenstein 3D to some extend)
• GTA2
• Half-Life
• Dungeon Keeper (mainly DK2)
• Leisure Suit Larry 6
• Worms 2 & Armageddon
• Age of Empires 2
• Sim City 2000 & 3000
• SimTower
• The Settlers 2
• Lemmings
• Incredible Machine
• Commandos
• Outcast
• Quake 3 Arena
• Descent
• StarCraft (although I started playing it later)

I don’t think the majority of players play the game that way. I think the development cycle is exemplary for a project of this scope. We need more games with such an structured and open approach.
