I was going to say there are multiple addons for home assistant for this problem. I think even more than you listed here, HACS is in desperate need of some kind of organization system.

Most large federated servers are hosted on VPS like solutions, not some old PC in someone’s closet. They are very similar to the types of machines that large companies host centralized social media on.

As for other self hosted services. The small amount of electricity I might use more than using Google services is more than made up for by stopping the societal damage companies like that do. They fund politicians that fight regulation which does way more harm to the environment.

Focusing on a minute downside compared to the holistic damage these companies do is short sighted.

Can’t remember the last time I poured millions into a fascist regime or gave technical support to a genocidal military. But yeah, I sipped a tiny bit more electricity last month.

Edit: also this issue is entirely solved by a push for clean energy and home solar. Both of which are heavily opposed by large corpo backed politicians.

There’s a reason people with lots of money want our society to build multi billion dollar power plants and stop people from owning their own power generation. Because those with wealth can build and profit from those greatly, and can’t make as much when people can afford to put solar panels on their homes.

There’s a PseudoTV plugin for emby which makes compatibility with jellyfin very likely.

I saw your thesis about how the community needs to not drive off maintainers. But that’s not what happened here. There was a dispute between maintainers over the integrity of the code being dumped into the repo by one Dev. It wasn’t some kneejerk reaction to AI, it was the people who help develop the project themselves worried about the longevity and maintenance when huge amounts of slop code are being pulled in faster than it can be checked. If you had any idea the real problems that open source maintainers are dealing with around AI slop right now you might have had the sense to not get on your soapbox about the wrong issue.

So, completely uneducated about the real issues that led to this, you decided this was a good opportunity for your pro AI soap box.

Yeah, there’s definitely a reason we can’t have reasonable conversations around AI.

It would if he was dumping huge portions of AI generated code into it the repository faster than people could reasonably review it.

I see you’ve got the vent in there now.

Looks good, I can feel myself sweating already.

Vaultwarden with the Bitwarden Android app and browser extension for my desktop. I already have a solid system for backing up the important data for all my docker containers. As soon as I added it, it was automatically added to that process.

My spouse has an account so if I die she can gain access to my passwords with a simple request. That’s function is important to me.

This didn’t happen years ago?

Lol, more vaporfactories. The US economy is about to crash as the Iran war and oil prices were the last straw. But even in good years these plans always amount to nothing.

I host my own of this which is nice for testing local connections as well

How long before Dorsey goes full musk and forces all Bluedky users to integrate with block?

It’s mostly Jellyseer absorbing overseer. Jellyseer is good to go.

Good news, you don’t need an app for audiobookshelf. If the iOS devs are trying to leach money from you, you can just use the web client to stream your books. The only downside is I don’t think you’ll be able to download files for offline use.

Maybe

If we are talking about LLMs, the other commenter is entirely right about how they function. But I’m not sure you two are talking about the same technology.

Metube is a nice UI with yt-dlp as a background that is updated regularly.

Not the content I expected when I subscribed, but I’m here for it.

There are companies that advertise their products doing everything locally. Eufy for one. Although, be warned that anything that sends you a push notification must send SOMETHING to the cloud. People lost their minds a year or two ago when someone pointed out Eufy’s push notifications send recognized faces to th cloud as part of their push notifications. Eufy did add a warning and the option to disable, or made it opt in I think.

Anyway, the point of all that is it’s all a matter of degrees. Ring and Nest rely heavily on the cloud to process your video and do just about everything. But there are local solutions with varying degrees of local.
