Linux and Pis and Homeservices Oh My
Created Wednesday 02 February 2022
Hey folks, this is an attempt to round up information and inspiration for Linux/Pi/Home Service related projects for my classes.
Things I literally do or have used
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon
(See also https://funkwhale.audio/ - which I haven't used yet, but am looking into.
https://syncthing.net/ - Probably literally the best thing here; it works so well and is so easy, I'd require doing a bit more than just setting this up.
https://tinc-vpn.org/ - this is the VPN I use as a literal VPN (as opposed to the thing you see advertised and pay for as a service, which mostly as an anonymous proxy)
https://www.home-assistant.io/ - a free and open system for home automation. There is also https://www.openhab.org/ ,
I'm also looking into https://nodered.org/ and https://platypush.tech/ for more techy solutions.
For voice powered things, there is https://mycroft.ai/, as an alternative to Alexa and Siri
Also http://voice2json.org/
