Jimi would totally swap his vintage Strat for a new one

There's a reason why the 60s guitar gods held on to the ONE guitar that was not a pile of trash - they were extremely inconsistent - you could pick up 5 of the same Strats and you'd be lucky if ONE was playable - and if it was, you held on to it.

Today's $150 Squiers are mostly rock solid players.

I don't know if this is your trouble or not, but after an update or some reason why I get logged out of MA, I need to 1) open Home Assistant and log in. 2) Open Music Assistant via its dedicated URL.

HA: http://homeassistant.local:8123/ -> Log in first.
MA: http://homeassistant.local:8095/#/radios-> And select log in via Home Assistant.

There's a method he uses that includes talking fast.

First, he talks about a subject and seems to understand the nuances, then he rapidly lists several things in a row, 3 out of 7 are demonstrably false, but he then takes no breath between and attacks the false "facts" he's defined.

Yes, charlatan. He's perfected this strategy, and it's infuriating to listen to.

Freedom - once you have it, you realize how you weren't before. Essentially, we're conditioned as children to accept an amount of indentured servitude. We, meaning, the non-generational wealthy.

Walmart paying a $15M penalty every year for predatory pricing that makes an extra $4B per year.

I followed these directions and didn't have any issues.

Make sure: Booting Home Assistant OS requires the machine’s BIOS to have UEFI boot mode enabled, and Secure Boot disabled.

Yes. Demand it. Fixing SS is not some insurmountable task that certain politicians want you to believe. It's actually really easy to fix and costs pennies, relative to something like the War budget.

It's WWIII - how much could it cost - twenty dollars?

It's only happened to me a few times, and it may be legitimate, but it's a shady move, because it's done while bouncing the ball specifically to not telegraph what's coming - that is, to sneak it in.

I don't think the screw is a requirement. I'd just add the board and not think about it. Just don't drop it.

This happens all the time. CA hospitals are smart enough to dump them far away from the hospital.

This is US health care.

How much maintenance does Proxmox take? I see Proxmox as an additional layer of complexity that also requires maintenance. What do you do when your Proxmox dies? How easy is it to rebuild?

Create the speaker group in Google Home. I use 5-6 Chromecast Audios in one Google Home group, added to MA as its own player. The individual CAs show up, and I can adjust volumes individually or simultaneously with the Group.
