ok I **TRIED**!
I snagged some Ubiquiti UDIM-AT light switches, and was hoping to get level data and "button press" data out of them and I'd relay that on to other things.

Trying to explore options of getting light and such control around the new house because it's going to need some help.

I'm beyond un-impressed with Bell Canada literally rescheduling twice, then not showing up or calling twice leading to 4 skipped install windows and pushing out an install that should have been the evening of the 4th to the 19th or later.

Well Bell Canada has sure given me the proper welcome to having service in Canada: bump day 1, bump day 2, no-show day 3 and a reschedule 9 days from original date with no guarantee they won't continue this game for a ridiculously quick and simple fiber install.

So *TRYING* to get Internet from TekSavvy going. Started fine, they got the bell tech scheduled all good.

Next day get a call from bell telling me they were skipping me again, and […]

Slight longshot: I've got a Fedora box (a firewall) that uses tpm2 to unlock the luks2 on the drives. Now, wholeachine takes 3 minutes 40 seconds or so to boot, 1:30 of that is bios stuff I can't speed up. That leaves 2:10 or so in booting, and a *LOT* of that is seemingly sitting at prompts […]
