Yeah I don't understand how this is different than headscale, but I'm very much not savvy on the pipes and tubes that make the Internet go round. Can anyone explain?

It feels like the goal is to get you married to one platform, and the big players are happy for that to be them. As someone who's used Keepass for over a decade, the whole thing seems less flexible than my janky open source setup, and certainly worse than a paid/for profit solution like bitwarden.

Yeah I didn't realize votes were essentially public already. This will 100% change my voting patterns. The problem is, I'm an idealist who still follows old school reddit voting guidelines of "this adds to the conversation" or not..so I upvote stuff I don't agree with as long as it is well thought out, well said, or at least civil and trying to have a good conversation. When I remember to, I also tend to downvote vitriolic nonsense or pithy nothing comments even if I agree with the values, because I don't think it helps anyone to have annoying angry echo chambers. That's like...the entire Internet right now, and Lemmy is already bad enough with that. It doesn't need to get worse by making sure everyone is voting in lockstep lest they get brigaded (which there are no inherent protections against).

Might have a teensy sample selection problem there haha

An even better title would be "'Study' by firm pushing new technique finds old technique is bad."

Ehhhh...Kanban is much older than Agile even if they tried to subsume it and say it's an agile technique, so that's sort of right. But kanban vs "scrum" - which virtually everyone means when they say "agile" - is fair.

YAML might be more readable than JSON, but it's absolutely not easier to work with, either to write from scratch or troubleshoot. And honestly, for my purposes that doesn't even make it easier to read. It's easier to read if I'm showing it to my wife because there are fewer semicolons. As soon as you want to do anything with the information you've read, it's garbage. YAML sucks, and I'll just link to a much better rant than I can ever come up with: https://ruudvanasseldonk.com/2023/01/11/the-yaml-document-from-hell

Second off, if you'd been using Zwave in Home Assistant for many years, you'd know they've changed their integration (no wait! It's an add-on now! No wait, it's also an integration still too!) multiple times, including breaking changes. That's what I'm talking about. Of course I know Zwave is a protocol - it's a protocol that Hubitat supports better. They also support Zigbee better (yes I use both). Admittedly part of that is built in hardware, but also it's a better UI, a consistent UI, and not just... changing how things work so old hardware doesn't work anymore.

I dunno man, we can disagree on HA's choices but maybe make sure you even know what you're talking about before being a dick for no reason. Then again, you opened with being a dick about me being the problem because I "can't grasp YAML" when I said I don't like it so I don't even know why I'm engaging. Just piss off.

I'd argue it's a bear and I still use it. YAML is just fucking awful and I'm glad they've been hiding it more and more over the years but it's still there. Zwave is still wildly confusing compared to something like a Hubitat which is just plug and play (guess who has to just rebuild his Zwave stuff from scratch). It's also insanely organized where add ons are different than integrations, and are hidden in different menus, as are system functions and just... It's a mess from UX POV. It's also a nightmare to try to interact with the codebase or documentation or even ask questions, much less make a suggestion. As an aside to address the point of the article, I have absolutely zero worry that they will ever forget about power users, because I, and many other power users who have interacted with Paulus on boards before agree he is kind of an asshole who absolutely does not understand why anyone would want to do anything different than how he imagines it - including documentation or UX or whatever. Home Assistant is totally safe for power users.

Now of course I'm not trying to say it's bad, just that it is kind of a bear even for the tech savvy. You can't beat HA for being able to interface with absolutely anything. There's almost always already an integration written. It can do anything, and if you're persistent enough you can kludge together a solution that works in exactly the way you need. You might even be able to hide all the kludge from your spouse. It's also all free, because Paulus and a hundred other devs contribute their time for free and they're amazing for it. Absolutely awesome for power users. But being simple or easy just isn't one of its many, many pros.

I mean I was being flippant, but finding interests or passions and then finding affinity groups that do those things is a great way to meet people.

Yeah, based on OP saying low WAF, I'm guessing maybe he didn't set up the content server? Ours is great, and I can read on my phone or 2-in-1.

Also, my prediction is that big puts will be selling for way higher than their likelihood, because so many retail investors want to to fail. So even though the stock will go down, tons of people will lose money betting that.
