  • I think that we put too many things into home assistant and it's becoming the everything app. Personally, I prefer some level of separation. Actually having a separate dashboard, self hosted app for just a gadgetbridge would be nice and there is a potential that in the future it can aggregate from more apps than just the gadgetbridge. Just an example, I am currently using Endurain for my workouts. I use open tracks to record them and then I upload them to Endurain. I do this exactly because I want to have stats on the desktop somewhere and I do care more about workouts than any other stats, but if there were also my sleep stats and steps and stuff that would be really nice.

  • I have recently moved non-vm truenas to a new hardware and actually it was a breeze. I just created the backup, disconnected the drives, physically put them into the new server, install the truenas, restored the backup, and it was done. I understand that everyone has different preferences. I'm just saying that it's easy to move truenas without it being the VM as well.

  • Agreed. Proxmox is not worth the complexity. Install truenas, you can put all the apps on that and you can have home assistant in VM. All you need is one machine. I actually have this setup. I only installed Proxmox on other machine to test it and to install OpenWRT and a bunch of networking software on that. If I feel confident, I will use this as my new router, but that's long way to go. Oh, and by the way, Truenas in virtual machine is not recommended. I originally thought I will also install Truenas in Proxmox, but after reading plenty resources and things about pass-through I finally decided that I was stick to the recommendation and not use proxmox with truenas. I do not regret the decision.

  • I can tell you that the best one man projects are those that they do first and foremost for themselves, because a/they enjoy it a lot and b/you see a lots of thought behind the project. So thats what i recommend, start by doing what you need and eventually the project will grow and maybe people will join...

  • You are welcome 😊 I am using it for several months now and it is great. The only think I want to figure out in the future is how to do it so that it rotate some servers.

  • I was also enjoying my stable homelab until... well lets just say I got cheap parts here, nice stuff there and now I am building myself a new system and I started by stripping a case I got for 20 bucks and totally spray painting it, got some nice black and white cables, wanna display my nas this time instead of hiding it in the cupboard. After that I will put in the parts I got and then I need to migrate everything from the old nas (well hopefully I just put the drives in and it works). Soooo... Yeah 😀

  • By the way one more thing why you want to switch to Gadgetbridge is to stop firmware update, because at one point, the enshittification update will come. Sadly, too late for me, my gps went from locking within seconds to locking within the next 30 minutes :(

  • Okay I just wrote basically the same post 😀

  • Exactly. It's simple, it integrates with home assistant and I have a few images that I like to choose when to do the update, so its perfect for me :)

  • If anyone is interested in just a simple image updates monitoring, check out cup.I know its not exactly what you want (it doesn't do the update), but I stumbled on it quite by accident and I like the simplicity.

  • I mean... glass half full or half empty... You can appreciate how enthusiastic he was about it and how many people saw the video, or you can just complain... Btw. if he should do more, it will be the positive feedback he gets about it, not the negative one which is just demotivating...

  • Same here. There were times where my eyes went up just hearing mentions of the guy, but nowadays, there are some videos I kinda enjoy watching (rare but yea)

  • I though (not sure if I remember correctly) LBRY is basically dead after the lawsuits. The network was overtaken and is basically another corpo shait...

  • I think there are tools that do that, yeah

  • I think they are the only people able to do something like that. Hosting videos is expensive as ... you know. But if someone can do it, its them.

  • Me too, but I make exceptions for a good content.

  • I understand. You probably like the new thin Samsung, eh? :) I actually like the small foldable factor (v that opens to normal smartphone size) but until its made fairly or at least repairably I will stick to my Fairphone :)
