Hi friends,
Greetings from the hive!
Consolidating emails has been a success so far. I'm now using a single Google workspace. When doing so you have to be patient as it takes quite some time and a lot of changing settings and waiting for them to take hold.
Moved my failing Home Assistant to a VM on my unused Windows desktop. The move was surprisingly easy, most was covered by a simple export and importi of settings.
Let's take this week by swarm!
