    That’s exactly what I’m doing as well. Got my VM set up, HAOS installed and bluetooth up and running. Now I’m starting to add my stuff already in my house and I’m looking for good ways to do it. I’ve also added it to tailscale and can access it from my phone.

    It’s SOOOO much faster than the Pi.





  • “In metric, one milliliter of water occupies one cubic centimeter, weighs one gram, and requires one calorie of energy to heat up by one degree centigrade—which is 1 percent of the difference between its freezing point and its boiling point. An amount of hydrogen weighing the same amount has exactly one mole of atoms in it. Whereas in the American system, the answer to ‘How much energy does it take to boil a room-temperature gallon of water?’ is ‘Go fuck yourself,’ because you can’t directly relate any of those quantities.” ― Josh Bazell, Wild Thing























  • The living standard is also much higher now. More people expecting more help from the state with more complex problems. Let’s for example take a premature baby that would have died 20 years ago can now be saved and can live a long life, but needing 24x7 care by medical staff. Or the fact that our parents and grandparents live longer, but care and medicine cost a lot more.

    I’m not disputing that the top takes too much, but the standard of care, medicine and other things cost too.
