- Searching Proton Photos like it's Google Photos: how I built proton-faces — E2E encryption means Proton can never index your photos. So I built a two-container search engine that does it locally, on my own hardware, without ever writing back to Proton.
- The Sump Pump in the Spotlight: Monitoring Hidden Infrastructure with Home Assistant — A Zigbee smart plug, nine automations, and one invisible pump that saves the house from flooding - the “invisible device” pattern, monitored with Home Assistant.
- The Smart Water Heater, 4 Years Later: Solar + Off-Peak Orchestration (v2) — Two water heaters on a Heures Creuses tariff, 12 panels and no battery - the v2 of my water heater orchestration, with real YAML and real numbers.

💬 Moved my 354 GB from Google Photos to Proton Photos a few weeks ago - but I lost the one thing I took for granted: search. Proton Photos is end-to-end encrypted. Proton literally cannot see your photos, so it cannot index them. Any decent search engine has to run on your own hardware. That's what I built: proton-faces. 🎬 Demo: <a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/blog-mornati-net...
