I found this forum while doing a web search relating to Home Assistant. I'm really happy to see that there is a place like this in which we can discuss our experiences and insights about all kinds of geeky things.
A random fact: our cat is from Central Asia. Here she is wearing a GPS tracker that sadly does not work in New Zealand. She has adjusted well to life here in NZ.
Like many (most?) others here, I'm old enough to remember when geek culture was most definitely uncool!
