I miss the ol' Reddit switcheroo :(

Turning your fridge off for an hour will not cause your food to spoil. You probably won't even notice a difference since they are well insulated. Turning off the compressor during the hour where most of everyone gets home and turns on their AC can have a noticeable effect on grid stability if done widely enough. I do this with a smart switch connected to my HA server instead of using cloud based connections, but the effect is the same and I've never had my food spoil because of it.

Yeah. I bought a Tesla because they "opened their patents" https://www.tesla.com/blog/all-our-patent-are-belong-you

This company has changed quite a bit from what it used to be. :(

I have all my services set up on a docker container that has a VPN Killswitch, so if the VPN ever drops for any reason my "activity" is disabled automatically until I can notice and fix it.
