It was such an interesting idea having the webapps be first citizens.

Wasn’t that also the idea with the first iPhone and iOS1 until they realized the potential of native apps?

I am a hesitating running a VM in proxmox to run my docker services there. It doesn’t feel right to me (maybe I am wrong, what do I know…).

I also do not understand yet how this would work in a cluster. I don’t want all the services bundled on one node (then the whole cluster thing would have been a pointless exercise haha)

And that is good! It would have been a better answer if you mentioned these major limitations as well so that interested people don’t need to look it up :)

Case in point: Netflix runs on AWS and experienced no issues during this thing.

But Netflix did encounter issues. For example the account cancel page did not work.

Please elaborate. I have only found that all drives will be treated as they would have the smallest capacity in the bunch.

There is some manual workarounds, which is would not call „can do it fine“

Or am I missing something?

Yes, but it does not have redundancy or caching. Redundancy can be achieved with snapraid, but how you get caching I don’t know…

Free Tier? You mean the 30 day trial?

Which is still not nearly as userfriendly as unraid.

With unraid I can browse the community store, click install and with juste one additional click I most of the time have this service fully running. It notifies me if there is an update and I can install updates with a single click.

With proxmox, I have yet to figure out how to update the installed services without manually ssh-ing in every single container and run a specific update command.

Unraid is light years ahead in terms of userfriendly ux for novice users.

I am more of a Lenovo guy, but they are more or less the same anyway.

Here is a great list of these tiny PCs: https://github.com/a-little-wifi/TinySecrets

The linked article claims that this is no longer the case since about a decade now.

I have one installed on a raspberry pi 5 with NVMe adaptor.

In this regard: here is a comparison of all the Lenovo tinys: https://github.com/a-little-wifi/TinySecrets

Yes, people don’t know what they need. 400km range is PLENTY of the vehicle can charge fast.

What do you mean? I have not seen ads in the OS itself…?

Zigbee2mqtt can do scenes, no problem.

The only thing you miss is the hue app.

But you can buy a 10-20€ zigbee stick and connect them directly to home assistant. No hue bridge or account required.

Do you want the data to be only stored once or twice? Or would it be an option to sync everything? This would be the easiest. Just set up 3 individual servers, set up syncthing between them, done.

It would mean that all server need enough storage though.

Matter itself is just the protocol, not the wireless standard. There are lots of matter over WiFi devices, for those you don’t need this additional adapter, as they will connect to your WiFi router.

Thread is a wireless standard which is almost like zigbee, that is why there are some adapters that support both.

But thread border routers are also a thing in lots of devices. For example if you have an Apple TV, this can be used as a gateway with home assistant without additional hardware.

Matter is not really big yet.

For zigbee adapters, take a look here: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/

+1 for fiber. Also because there are really thin fiber cables available (like <1mm in diameter) and with a bidirectional transceiver you can literally run a cable in the corner of two walls and hide it with just some acrylic compound and paint.
