I have 22 apps in total, including system apps, and excluding Apple apps (I have an iPhone) I have 15. I think about 9 of my apps are open-source, so…

If you count the Apple apps: 9/22 = ~0.409 (~40.9%).
If you only count non-system apps: 9/15 = 0.6 (60%).

I do plan on getting rid of some apps soon though, so it’s subject to change.

Edit: Fix formatting.

Not currently running a VM or anything, but I might need to set one up for iTunes and Garmin stuff.

Seems like you have some limitation (I really don’t know tailscail funnel) in your setup, and now you expect them to work around it.

Sub-paths are actually a fairly requested feature for Home Assistant. Although, they have a limitation of hard-coded paths, which they now expect us to work around. I’m actually fairly okay with that, they’re programmers who (a number of) work for free, with the exception of the few apart of Nabu Casa, and they’ve already exceeded my personal expectations it’s not like I deserve any features, but they also don’t deserve me to love 100% of their design decisions.

Yes, HAOS is great when you have one dedicated machine for it, for example a RPi. That’s the whole purpose of HAOS, as far as I understand.

I’ve admitted this already, but I seem to have totally miscalculated the ability of HAOS add-ons, and treated them like traditional Docker containers. This was my bad, and I learned the hard way, but at least now I know.

If you already have a zoo full of docker containers, then you want your Home Assistant (without HAOS) in just one more of your own containers.

I’m far from a zoo keeper. Once I setup everything on RPi OS again I’ll have just a few things for media (Jellyfin and a fork of Gonic, at least until my PR gets merged), Vaultwarden, and a home automation service (which may or may not be Home Assistant – if I can figure out a decent way of exposing it) I less services being hosted when I was on HAOS.

I’m running HAOS and Docker in two different VMs on Proxmox, and it’s working fine for me so far.

So, I think I’ve mentioned this in another reply, but, I have a very minimal setup. It’s a RPi4 as the main device, Starlink as the ISP (CGNAT; no port-forwarding), and now Tailscale as the only way to access outside of my LAN. I agree that HAOS meets it’s primary job of running Home Assistant. Although, I don’t have the option to run Proxmox (at least I’ve never seen anyone run Proxmox on an RPi) and also have a massive music library (and soon a large movie and TV show collection, once I rip all of those DVDs) so I really only need to run a few things:

• A dashboard to make accessing the services easier for the family.
• A reverse proxy to handle subpaths (this used to be Cloudflare Tunnels with subdomains and NPM with subpaths, now it’s just Nginx).
• Tailscale (to expose services and run a VPN to get past the CGNAT).
• Jellyfin (for TV shows and movies).
• A forked version of Goinc (I have a fork with LDAP support, there’s an open pull request for it, but it needs a little extra work; this wasn’t ran on HA).
• Something to run LDAP authentication.
• Some Home Automation software (was Home Assistant, I migth switch to something else).

Edit: I also run Vaultwarden.

I’ve really scaled things back since previous self-hosting journeys, and when I first started with HAOS there was even less going on, and really I need things to just work. I’m learning now that my mistake was assuming that HAOS add-ons are supposed to behave just like a Docker container, they’re not. I’ve learned the hard way, but, I still don’t love HA’s attitude towards something that are deemed “complex,” such as sub-paths and alternative authentication providers.

I’m on RPi OS now.

I am a happy openHAB user for 5+ years. Have you considered switching to see if you like it?

I actually have considered it, and I’m still thinking about it.

I run stuff locally and can connect over VPN to my home and operate as if I am inside the home. I have not looked into these other cloudflare tunnels or tail scale as I don’t think it would provide any advantage to my current setup.

I have a strange setup. My ISP is Starlink (so I’m behind a CGNAT), meaning I kinda need another service to access them outside the network, but (as mentioned) I mainly host for my family who wouldn’t know how to work another app or VPN.

They added a casual game mode, that I think is offline.

Yeah, but aren’t they unlikely to jam GLONAS? Can they see people’s locations if they use it?

Can’t Ukraine just switch to GLONASS? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I don’t really know anything about satellites (just that my Garmin supports both).

Then sell stonks.

(For legal purposes this is a joke.)

I really love Onnivore, but my only issue is that RSS feeds are mixed in with the things you add to it. That being said, they’ve had a few updates that make it a lot better.

Worldcoin, founded by US tech entrepreneur Sam Altman, offers free crypto tokens to people who agree to have their eyeballs scanned.

What a perfect sentence to sum up 2023 with.

You’re getting downvoted a lot, but honestly you’re right. The fact that corporations are arguing over who gets to use technology that could help people with, or could have, medical conditions is really depressing. I get that an Apple Match isn’t going to be that accurate, but it could still be a sign that something is off.

Technology could help people, but I guess this is why we can’t have nice things.

I wholeheartedly believe that Apple is a marketing company more than a tech company.

Although the controls on the second and third gen Apple TV are absolute hell I’ve always liked the fact that Netflix had a native look and feel on them. It actually makes be fairly annoyed when an app has a separate non-native UI.

Let me start by saying that if Beehaw would be missed for all of us, but I doubt people would move with it if it left ActivePub. That being said I’d recommend sticking with Lemmy, sure it doesn’t have all the features yet — but it’s still young (and is still growing).

My head would hit a metal chair.

I sit on the floor, despite a chair being there.

“If you could have one supper power what would it be?”

So, I’ve seen this question quite a bit within the fediverse. By the looks of it, there isn’t really a good answer as to how it should work. Although, there is this GitHub issue on the topic of multi-instance communities, that will hopefully lead to some implementation soon.

This entire thing is super confusing… and, I might have missed a lot of things, but it kinda seems to be the board was right? They seemed inexperienced, but they still seemed to be capable of working in the best interest of the company’s vision (and doing so).

Anyway, please fill me in if I’ve missed something crucial.

So this is way we can’t have nice things!
