Was starting to worry that the channel has gone quiet... happiness when I saw the new video notification! The logo is perfect, love it. No problem from my side with you having sponsors. As to exactly what you spend your money on... if you do not cover whatever bills you have then you eventual will stop with the channel... rather not have that. I work 9 / 3 weeks cycles in Saudi Arabia and buy / get stuff delivered to my home in Klerksdorp for when my 3 weeks R&R comes around. Of course, I have a RPi5 with HA and couple of ESP's to play with while here in KSA. At home in RSA couple of RPi4, RPi5 HA running. Tailscale...
Hi Jurie, I promise that if I quit, I'll tell you, I am far from it. If you watched the TMI section, I think you will understand my predicament. Moneywise, without the channel I am comfortable enough, my disability insurance covers my day-to-day expenses and most of my medical bills. So, I am currently reusing sensors, MCUs and peripherals where I can to reduce costs. The channel is still costing me a bit though, for example I've been wanting to see what the new Pi is all about and I can't afford it, and as it is a non-essential for the channel, it's on the back burner. As for the Saudi Arabia, I know the story well, my father-in-law used to do it, he stopped about 3 years ago. Not always an easy life as I gathered. Thanks for the message and the sub. Think about joining the Discord server, you'll be able to interact with me more often. -- Pascal
Sorry to hear about your health issues and hoping that the issues subside or go away. One's health is most important and must come first. I understand as I go through cycles of my own conditions that vary from a week to two to three months.

I like the Logo, it looks modern and represent the concept of Home Assistant, in line with the teaching on smart technologies. Carry on the good work
Thank you, George.

I am sorry to hear that you have a chronic condition, it’s no picnic for sure.
Take care and as I often say, never give up, never surrender.
