Sounds quite similar to Markov chains which made me think of this story:

Still gets a snort out of me every time Markov chains are mentioned.

Depending on your level of caffeine tolerance/dependency actual coffee might be even better.

IF you already have an email domain you control.

Calling "acquiring and setting up an email domain and configuring the mail server for wildcards" "basically no extra effort" is a bit disingenuous compared to "solve a captcha for a Gmail account"

No actual technical solution here, but it smells slightly of XY-Problems.

From what you described it seems the main issues are

• too many calls
• not knowing who's calling
• not wanting to answer the phone
• not reaching the phone in time

Maybe you could look into solutions like setting a custom ringtone for important callers or having the phone announce caller names so your mother can decide if she wants to make the effort to get her phone.

I'm speculating a bit here but I can imagine that getting up and answering the phone is exhausting for your mother. Also if her mindset is " a ringing phone means it's important" that could make it even more stressful.

Maybe you could find a way to let her silence all calls except caregivers and ICE contacts. (On Android DND exceptions could work for that)

That way she doesn't feel pressured to answer the phone every time it rings and stays reachable.

If it's actually just the physical issue of reaching the phone in time, does she have a convenient way to carry the phone indoors like a lanyard?

Hope some of this helps you

A big part of the cost is probably refitting the heating system. Radiators are designed for water temps that are not efficient for a heat pump.

The default for newly built heat pump systems is underfloor heating but that's not something you'd install unless you're ripping out all floors anyway.

The alternative would be large panel radiators or an air/air heat pump with air ducts.

Tl;dw:

Append systemd.debug_shell to the boot command line.

Yeah there are multiple duplicates.

Eh, even If it does, it shouldn't be a problem. Relying on a wireless link that could fail due to interference or jamming for actual control would be Musk-level insane.

The hitchbot would need to be capable of visually following the lead vehicle, possibly using something like a big QR code for identification and tracking.

The wireless link could be for telemetry like range and non-critical controls like "stay here" and "start following".

If the link fails, you get a big warning to stop ASAP but the bot keeps following.

I run a 2 node k3s cluster. There are a few small advantages over docker swarm, built-in network policies to lock down my VPN/Torrent pod being the main one.

Other than that writing kubernetes yaml files is a lot more verbose than docker-compose. Helm does make it bearable, though.

Due to real-life my migration to the cluster is real slow, but the goal is to move all my services over.

It's not "better" than compose but I like it and it's nice to have worked with it.

Yeah, from an actual usability and privacy standpoint, that's horrible design. It does make for good visuals with the actor and the display in frame at the same time. No more "closeup of a message on a phone display"

I'm personally hoping for smart stuff to get a bit more distributed. A phone-like CPU unit in my pocket streaming display content to my watch and AR glasses or a full size screen on the seat in front of me on the subway. Simple visual and vibration notifications from a smart ring.
