    Suggestions for a small Homelab project

    I would suggest looking at /r/selfhosted. It is full of open source software you can host yourself, and contribute to, with users posting about new projects almost every day.

    Are you using any smart plugs at home, how has the experience been

    That wasn't my address, just a generic one blinkit used by default when I opened the deal page. It's not even the correct city

    Storage Solutions Open Source NVR vs Branded NVR and qns on the software scene with security cameras

    I have a dahua (considered one of the best, Dahua and Hikvision) NVR with 2 SATA bays in my business. Honestly, the NVR does it's job, but not very well. The software and webUI is a slow, laggy mess. Downloading parts of your recorded footage requires an obscure internet explorer (yes, IE)...

    Health Insurance

    I've had plans from Star health and Care Health insurance. Care has good coverage and less ridiculous limits on what and how much is covered. Claim pre approval process for a minor surgery was cashless and very quick approval for a higher amount than expected from the hospital desk.
