Jolla had similar concept too at 2013. I had one and back then it was really, really nice phone. Maybe not in a sense that flagship models from big vendors were, but I really enjoyed the UI and modular options was a huge selling point at least for myself. Then they started to work with a tablet which failed on pretty much all fronts and the whole company practically disappeared.

Steps 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 just need some time. I have the stuff pretty much thought out and it’s just a matter of actually doing the things. I was sick majority of November, but if it wasn’t for that those would have already been completed. The rest need either planning or money. Immich setup would ideally need 2x2TB ssd drives (on raid1 setup) but that’s about 500€ out of the pocket and home assistant setup needs time to actually work with it and to plan things forward. Additionally HA setup could use a floor thermostat or two, some homeESP gadgets and so on, so it needs some money as well.

Majority of the stuff should be taken care of until February, the rest is more or less open.

A ton.

1. Set up email and website hosting on a VPS to replace current setup
2. Get more solid state storage for my home server and finnish immich setup (import photos and all that)
3. Set up proper backups for the home server
4. Migrate current Unifi controller to home server
5. Local VPN server to access home assistant and other services even when travelling
6. Spend some time with my home assistant server, fine tune automations, add some more, add sensors and more controls, maybe add a wall mounted tablet for managing the thing and so on, it’ll never end and need a visit or two from electrician too
7. Better isolation for IOT things on my network. I already have separate VLAN for them without internet access, but it’s a bit incomplete project

And then “would be nice” stuff:

1. Switch Dahua NVR to something else. Current one works in a sense that it stores video, but movement tracking isn’t really perfect and the whole individual NVR box is a bit lacking both in speed and in features
2. Replace the whole home server (currently running proxmox, which in itself is fine). It’s a old server I got from work, and it does work, but it’s not reundant and it’s getting old. So something less power hungry and less noisy would be nice. It just asks some money and time, which I have neither in surplus, so we’ll see.
3. Move home assistant from a raspberry pi to the home server. Maybe add zigbee capabilities next to z-wave and wifi.

And likely a ton more which I don’t remember right now. Money and specially spare time to tinker are just lacking.
