I have no experience with this topic, so hopefully I don't step on your toes.
It does read like your mother is trying in her own way. Maybe there is a chance to talk to her alone without your father and explain a couple of basics to her? She probably has no idea what it really means and this is her way of trying, even if it is hurting you. Not saying it is OK, just that it probably needs time and good talks to process and accept it.
Maybe ask your grandma for her opinion on how to deal with her.
My advice is try using existing documents with Libre office. You can install it on windows as well.
I use Linux for over twenty years now and installed windows on a vm last week to Wirte my resume. Libre office is fine, you run into problems when opening and editing existing ms office documents. At least that is my experience.
But give Libre office on windows a shot, see if you like it.
Hmm, maybe. Depends on the infrastructure they put up. If there is a separate domain for the telemetry, then you can block it. Still no guarantee that it still works though.
The app will need internet access to login though. That really is a cat and mouse game that is not worth your time I'd say.
I regularly comments from users who were not aware or the financial situation. Maybe "we" need to promote it a bit more. But it is 332 per week, not month. At the beginning of the last migration it stood at 40 something, so we at least got some traction.
Thanks for the update and thanks for the work guys, I really appreciate it
Not OP, but here are my 2 cents. You can't really go wrong with that degree imho. Even if you only land an entry level job at the beginning, you can quickly advance from there. You just to have keep learning.
If you haven't done so already, get a raspberry pi, install docker, get used to how it works. Destroy everything, start over. Get another pi, learn kubernetes.
You can stand out and succeed if you can learn and adapt to new technologies. The system doesn't matter, it's how you approach it.
Reolink ist the way to go. I think only the battery powered ones don't have onvif. Otherwise the poe cameras all support onvif and are generally of very good quality. Plug it in and of you go.
EDIT: Forgot to mention: You can configure the camera via the web interface, so no need for an app. I'm using the 820 at the moment, but I'm planning to get the new trackmix camera, these look really good.
It is absolutely possible to dual boot from a single harddrive. Don't know about fedora, but the Ubuntu installer has taken care of that for ages now. Yes, it can fuck your windows install initially, but that is normally reversible.
If you don't know, a computer uses so called partitions and not the hard drive directly. Think of them as folders. Normally you have one partition which holds the bootloader information (one or two OS, or more) and then a partition for each OS. A little Programm after Turning on the computer let's you choose which OS you want to boot.
A lone Linux installation often has three partitions on one harddrive. One boot Partition, one for the OS and one for the home directory of all users. This way you can reinstall the OS without loosing your home directory.
I just tried all of your use cases and it works for me every time, HA in the foreground, background, closed; the command changes to the HA app and the right page.
One thing you should check: Android Settings, Apps, Special app access, Display over other apps, -> make sure home assistant is enabled here. If that doesn't help I'm out of ideas and suggestions for the moment.
I was curious about this so I tested it on my systems. Path refers to the part after your domain. So, if your settings page is available under https://homeassistant.mydomain.com/config/dashboard (check with your desktop or mobile browser to get the exact URL, then you would use "/config/dashboard" as your path setting. Same for any lovelace dashboard, check the URL in your browser, if it is https://homeassistant.mydomain.com/lovelace-mobile/0, then use "/lovelace-mobile/0" as the path argument. lovelace-mobile is the dashboard part, 0 corresponds to the tab.
Another tool is paperless ngx. Although it is a bit more than just a scanner Programm.
