Super interesting stuff, thanks!

Why wouldn’t I just use the bookmark manager in my browser?

There’s a Frigate app within Home Assistant.

Me in 2005: “Bots please crawl my site!”

Me in 2025: “Bots GTFO my site!”

Is it true that if you don’t use it, you lose it?

Nothing in your comment would make mine “inaccurate”.

Some of these points are inaccurate.

…any specific ones?

the XMPP chat is more responsive

I didn’t even know there was an XMPP chat, but any chat seems like an awful way to get support…

timezone can cause delays

We’re not talking about hours here, we’re talking about days/weeks or months.

1. Unable to host apps without exposing them to the web
2. Despite a simplified GUI, a lot of the system is still dependent on CLI
3. they make you use subdomains and / as well. Like blog.website.com/blog
4. Outdated apps (some much more than others)
5. Poor/no support when something goes wrong
6. An entire Debian generation behind (not sure if that one matters but it is weird)
7. Can’t run multiple of the same service

I’ve tried them all and it’s overall the best but still has a whole lot of room for improvement

You don’t need to add a motherboard, case or PSU, the first item is an entire mini PC, minus ram and storage.

The RAM and storage was just a suggestion. Change them up as you prefer.

There’s also another model if you don’t need HDD that comes with an aluminum heatsink/enclosure, for an extra $20.

CWWK N100 - $152

1x16GB Teamgroup elite DDR5-5600 = $37

3x2TB Samsung 990 EVO - $255 1x128GB Patriot P300 -$14 (4TB storage + 2TB parity drive and 128GB for OS)

$7 for some heatsinks for the SSDs.

Total = $465 USD

No idea what those prices look like in Europe.

You also have the option of expanding with 2 SATA ports.

That won’t make much of a dent in climate change.

It makes a massive difference. Think about how much food and other products a single person consumes in their lifetime. All of that is gone if they’re never born.

The main cause of climate change is pollution on a massive scale by corporations.

They don’t pollute just for the fun of it, they pollute to make products to sell to consumers. No consumers = no pollution.

You shouldn’t be okay with that.

It doesn’t matter what software you use, Apple doesn’t allow automatic backups on their phones. Consider buying a different phone that allows you to use it as you see fit.

It’s Korea.

Honestly culling the herd is probably our best bet at battling climate change at this point.

I see.

But you can do all of that with an app on your local device.

I can’t believe that a project hasn’t previously heavily focused on becoming a fully feature complete Self-hosted Podcast platform

…y tho? What’s the point?

The problem is using Proxmox…

The installation is not the problem…
