As others have said, you can run Home Assistant on anything if you want to just test it out. Their own hardware is a great choice though.

But to answer your broader question, yes. Home Assistant is the choice. It works better with literally everything else out there.

Been looking forward to this one. Might finally be time to switch over. I wish there was a Graphene build for it.

I can see you care about this a lot, so please tell me; in your opinion at what point does a PC cease to be “self hosted”? When it’s carried across the property line? Maybe if the electricity bill is paid by a roommate?

Love to see the people in here gatekeeping “selfhosting” 🙄

We’re all just out here trying to escape big tech. A docker container doesn’t suddenly stop becoming “selfhosted” once the hard drive it’s on crosses a property line. Who the hell cares, seriously.

Yeah I saw that… not really what I would consider a “web backup” exactly. I was hoping they were rolling out encrypted photo storage plans.

I can’t find anything about the web backups in the article or release notes.

Back up an image the entire operating system HD when it’s working well. If you ever get overwhelmed with bugs you can always go back to a functioning state.

We all like checking out the latest features and updates but it’s important to remember that it’s not a race.

Not off the top of my head, but I haven’t used it in a year or two so it’s probably changed a bit since then.

The one feature of Nova I wish Kvaesitso had is swiping on icons can do other things than tapping on them. For example swiping on the wallet icon opens a specific card. Swiping on podcast apps opened audiobook app instead.

You can adjust it in settings up to as many that will fit

Looks a lot like M-Launcher on F-Droid.

I am using Kvaesitso which is great, but not Nova.

I think your URL to the github is a hyperlink back to this post…

I love the description.

Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?

It always is. The thing with FOSS vs a private company is that internal debates are:

1. Public
2. Involving people working for free

Meaning we not only see the ““drama””, but that it can become more verbally intense. Buuuuut it almost never ends up mattering much to the average user, and when it does, the public certainly won’t learn about it on github or the replies to a toot.

CasaOS or YunoHost are great places to start and hold your hand the whole way, while allowing you to tip toe into more advanced setups later on as you learn.

It’s for image recognition. Nothing sad about it. Great feature.

I actually learned of this when the Material You Home Assistant addon updated yesterday. Kudos to the dev for being extremely on the ball.

This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.
