You could get “smart flood detectors” cheap on amazon that use smart life. They make a sound (not the loudest tbf) and trigger notifications on your phone via the app.
Maybe not the greatest for privacy but might start the trail…
No doubt fiscal policies put this (and other) councils on the back foot, but it’s reductive to ignore that the thing that tipped them over the edge was bureaucratic incompetence combined with being fucked by the Oracle Corporation.

I’ve had some luck with Ubuntu, I’ve made my “notes” public in case it’s of use to you!
I’d started with bootcamp (windows) to add another bootloader option then went from there. Most of my docs go from there.
You ever get the webcam working? I’ve tried the patjak stuff and can get the device detected but alas no /dev/video
I managed to get it working under Ubuntu following this trail https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux#intel
Blacklisting the amd GPU caused Linux not to boot however…
MySQL (/ˌmaɪˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/)[5] is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).[5][6] Its name is a combination of “My”, the name of co-founder Michael Widenius’s daughter My,[7] and “SQL”.
My Widenius-SQL 😂
Meh, time for another fork.
To those people saying switch to MySQL, they miss the point - MySQL and Maria are basically interchangeable, Maria was made to replace MySQL like for like when oracle took over. It was made by the same guy (et al) and he he named both after his daughters.
When Maria is taken over the same thing will happen. I for one hope that it is named for Widenius’ other child, max.

Another example of inherently predatory “what the market will bear” pricing.
Thankfully in this instance it’s not an essential…
Docker too obvious?
“If the service is free, YOU are the product”.
Very nice!
I have an intel device, not an ARM one.
Though I would love an M2!
What device are you intending to use, you mention you’re using macos so I’m guessing Apple hardware?
Just thought I’d share my experience with pop on my MacBook in case we can help each other 😂. Basically I was dead set on pop but couldn’t get it to install for the life of me - the installer showed my disk as being a fraction of the size it was, even exfat volumes created by the installer. So I had to shrink other os petitions like crazy so I could trick it into thinking there was enough space.
There was no option to encrypt the disk in the installer and it didn’t play nice when I created my own LUKS container.
After several hours of trying to beat it into submission I ended up using Ubuntu’s legacy installer and was up and running in 15 mins.
So yeah if you are using Apple hardware and get pop playing nice please share any tips :)
