I'm (currently) on Raspberry Pi OS (as I need something that "just works"). Home Assistant is running in Docker like everything else.

A lot of apps use hard coded paths, so using a subdomain per app makes it much easier to use them all. Traefik has middleware, including stripPrefix, which allow you to strip a path prefix before forwarding the path to the app, though - have you tried that approach?

I should've mentioned this, but I'm using Nginx (I really enjoy the simplicity of just having to add a section to a file whenever I want to add something). Before running HAOS I was running RPIOS again and used Traefik, it worked (but felt like a lot more work to setup than just a plain Nginx setup).

Edit: I forgot to mention, but there are things like stripPrefix for Nginx, I'm going to look into them. Although, this is what I meant, when you start to do things that are "advanced" with Home Assistant they turn into "hacks," and the barrier for advanced things feels a lot lower than with other self-hosted services (and I get that Home Assistant is very complex under the hood, it's just frustrating).

I am a happy openHAB user for 5+ years. Have you considered switching to see if you like it?

I actually have considered it, and I'm still thinking about it.

I run stuff locally and can connect over VPN to my home and operate as if I am inside the home. I have not looked into these other cloudflare tunnels or tail scale as I don’t think it would provide any advantage to my current setup.

I have a strange setup. My ISP is Starlink (so I'm behind a CGNAT), meaning I kinda need another service to access them outside the network, but (as mentioned) I mainly host for my family who wouldn't know how to work another app or VPN.

So, it's an app for Ubuntu Pro. Just what I needed.

I think it’s more that there really isn’t a need for this. If I’m not sure what a tab is I can always click on it. Chromium got this a while back and (even with minimal exposure to Chromium) I didn’t like it, it weirdly felt annoying and unnecessary.

I’m gonna start comparing all my options today or tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for you help, I hadn’t seen that thread before! I also hadn’t seen Posteo yet, but it looks pretty good.

Honestly, I just need something that works and is standardized. Also, I just want email — I thought Proton had an email only plan, but they must’ve removed it or something. I have my own VPN, and don’t torrent or do other things that I need to hide from my ISP (who are pretty lazy anyway).

Thanks for the information though! Cool that they have a way that you can still use the apps you want (that was my biggest problem with Skiff tbh).

I might take a break from these encrypted ones, I’m thinking about trying to find a plain old IMAP/POP provider.

My problem is with annoying advertisements within a productivity suite for something I don’t want.

I would’ve been fine if all they did was add AI, but there seemed to be a new one every time I logged in.

Edit: it is also kind a privacy thing.

I have been a long-time Notion user and really love Skiff. But, my trust in Notion has really been shaken after they added AI. I’m not sure what to do right now. :\

Yeah, but aren’t they unlikely to jam GLONAS? Can they see people’s locations if they use it?

[–] hai@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Can’t Ukraine just switch to GLONASS? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I don’t really know anything about satellites (just that my Garmin supports both).

Basically style vs the instructions that make up the font. It’s lead to a lot of rip offs (see: Helvetica vs. Arial).
