For those interested, there are some vacuum models listed on this project: https://valetudo.cloud/

It can get technical (since they want people to learn), but the documentation is pretty detailed.

That brought back some printer PTSD

For people living with others it might not be a choice though. The lights not working for a day the way they normally do is all it takes for someone to lose all faith in automation. It's easier when you plan for a specific time and day to update things, as long as you are not exposed to the internet, slightly out of date apps are not a big worry

I get that, but the services listed by the other comment run just fine in docker with less hassle by throwing in some bind mounts.

The 4 VMs dedicated dockge instances is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind for people that want to avoid something that sounds more like work than a hobby when starting out. Building the knowledge takes time and each product introduced reduces the likelihood of it being completed anytime soon.

I would give docker compose a try instead. I found Proxmox to be too much, when a simple yaml file (that can be checked into a repo) can do the job.

Pay attention to when people say things can be improved (secrets/passwords, rootless/podman, backups), etc. And come back to them later.

Just don't expose things to the internet until you understand the risks and don't check in secrets to a public git repo and go from there. It is a lot more manageable and feels like a hobby vs feeling like I'm still at work trying to get high availability, concurrency and all this other stuff that does not matter for a home setup.

After getting a NAS to replace my raspberry pi 4 as a home server, I literally just SCPd the bind mounts and docker compose folder, adjusted a few env variables (and found out of a few I needed to add for things like the uid/guid the NAS used as default for the media user I created) and it took maybe 30 minutes total to be back and running. Highly agree with you from experience.

They are also way too small in terms of storage given that they don’t support external cards (Apple is similar). Google/Apple definitely want buyers to also buy their subscription storage services or pay the high premium for the next storage level.

I’m on an XR right now and it feels older, but still very much usable. I wish companies offered options to only get security patches instead of having to buy new phones every few years, that’s the 1 thing I hope Google keeps around and doesn’t walk back in the future.

The city is literally sinking, global warming is not helping and billionaires disproportionately contribute to it.

The impressive part is that they are also known for being reliable, there are the occasional issues, but overall very trustworthy products.

Great summary “a lot of common error checking has gone into it. It can be told what you want without specifics that would only potentially be applicable to 1 system type.”

They only provided replacements after the a class action lawsuit and specifically only replaced them in North America for the longest time. That was on July 2020. Five years later and the flaw is still there on brand new devices. There is nothing to applaud or give credit for.

Edit: to say that $80 is not expensive is to be completely detached from reality. 28% of Americans have savings of less than $1,000.

Not to mention those things are expensive AF. If I had to replace a part on my car that cost 25% of the cost of the entire car EACH time, I would just not buy from that company any longer (which is what I’m doing). Not sure why this person is writing paragraphs and paragraphs of excuses for Nintendo.
