I have a few backup lights that are dumb led lights on a smart wall switch. But my HA is pretty much never down unless I am manually restarting it for updates. And my Zigbee network works even when the internet or wifi is down.

Bulbs are mains-powered and should be zigbee routers. The way to prevent that is to take out the switch, wire it closed, and stick a smart button over it.

Which of these is better for Aqara? I recently switched from Conbee to Zigbee2mqtt but I don't have any aqara devices (yet...)

You can use an ESP32 to ring the mechanical bells via HA when someone presses the doorbell

What do you mean that Reolink is not available? You can get them easily and they work great with HA and Frigate.

I agree. I had a laptop with a clit mouse around 1999/2000 or so. After some practice I could play Quake 2 with that thing. It was awesome!

I just finished SOMA. If you're into scary games, just get it in the next sale and go in blind. Don't read anything about it. It's great!

Not really. I didn't play with any mods.

It's not so much a sandbox, but more of a 4X grand strategy game. Conquer the universe, or at least help some other faction to do so. And stop the Xenon from assimilating everything. It's like a cross between Elite Dangerous and Stellaris.

I play at most 2-3 games at the same time. 1 story game that requires concentration (currently "Pentiment"), one game I play online with friends (currently "Return to Moria") and one simple game when I don't want to think too much (currently nothing, I just finished "Vampire Survivors")

I'm also a dad with a full time job. As for how I pick my games, if I do the same thing too long I get bored and don't finish the game. And I like finishing games. So I don't do two horror games back-to-back, or two survival games, or two FPS, etc. I like to switch up. Before "Pentiment" my focus games were "SOMA", "Astroneer", "Conarium", "Green Hell", "The Talos Principle" and "Prey". So, quite varied I think.

It's really fun. But at some point you have enough resources that the game changes from an immersive space sim to a grand strategy game, and you spend most if your time in the map and menu screens.

Ahhh, X4, the greatest space game that nobody ever seems to talk about. I really like it because the economy and supply lines and factories actually work. But it can be a bit janky.
