  • Yeah I use Unraid for multiple reasons but being able to spin down disks when not in use was a big factor. I have 6 mechanical drives totalling 56TB of usuable storage so it was important to me they don’t all need to be on at the same time. TrueNAS also comes with some other headaches, I like being able to drop in whatever disk I need to for expansion or replacement.
















  • Wholeheartedly support this and am looking forward to it. But part of me is sad to lose Slackware. Entirely for nostalgia reasons. It was the first Linux distro I really dug in on and used regularly. First distro I set a server up on so very long ago. It was kind of nice always having there in the background on Unraid.






  • Possibly. There’s also the consideration that the Companion app dev is a paid employee. Does enough of the community demand this feature to be googless to justify the development of building a new system from scratch instead of using the drop in service module?

    I would love a fully function play services free version of the app. But is there enough demand for their limited resources to be applied?

    Maybe someday Google will push enough people too far. But here on Lemmy we are definitely not the majority, even in the home automation hobby.

    I’m not sure how how the hardware works with the matter software. It’s possible that they are even already working on someday for the Bluetooth proxies to work which would be a good compromise even if the phone Bluetooth is impossible to use without play services.
