  • I just started using it myself here very recently and so far I’ve only set up one automation but it is very useful. What I am truly excited to see is the Works with Home Assistant program badge. That way I can look at a device that I’m interested in and see whether or not I should spend my money on it. I don’t want anything to do with a device that I need a fucking cloud account for.







  • If possible drop element for SimpleX. Key management is much much easier to prevent loss of chats and metadata is properly encrypted. In element, your message may be encrypted, but the time that the message was sent at is not encrypted, any reactions to that message is not encrypted, who you sent that message to is not encrypted, and who that message is from is not encrypted.












  • I think there’s an argument to be made here of why are we trusting certificate providers anyway since that just adds another layer of centralization and a choke point for governments to attack. Why not use self-signed certificates and have each search engine indexer also index the certificate and point out how long it has been since it has changed so that you can trust whatever search engine you wish instead of these mega centralized providers of certificates. If kagi, google, ddg, and quant (for example) are all in agreement about the validity of a cert i feel its likely trustworthy. If they start disagreeing thats when it may be time to DYOR. Besides, TOFU is much easier to set up.
