I also really like AdGuard
AdGuard Home the pihole alternative or their end client options?
I personally got tired of PiHole UI and switched to AdGuard alternative.
I like it much better.

Home assistant is fantastic. The number of integrations available is unbelievable (and also somewhat scary, security wise): What I have right now: - integration with Tuya lights/electrical outlets - integration with AirThings air quality sensor - integration with EcoBee thermostat/presence sensors - integration with an LG Oven (status only as far as I can tell) - integration with Garmin ecosystem - integration with p…
Nice. Though about adding blinds? I got some from IKEA about a year a go and have been super happy with them. Have them set to open 45min after sunrise, and close 30min before. Love em.
Do IKEA blinds come with motors built in? How did you hook 'em up?

What functionality do you get out of the media center? Is it just for local media, or do you use integrations for other services?
I described it in another comment: > I've got an msi desktop gaming PC, an LG CX OLED TV, and a Yamaha RX-A2A receiver and they never played well together. The kids always had a hard time getting them all on at once and set to the right inputs and launching steam. > So I created a Home Assistant automation that does all that, bought a Zwave button that sits on the coffee table, and now they just turn it all on with o…
Love this. My TV setup is super straightforward these days, but I had a nice home theater setup in my previous house and used a rather disappointing Logitech Harmony remote.
If you want to get creative, you could create a custom dashboard and put an old iPod touch/Android device in kiosk mode and use it as a remote touch panel control for your home theater (or anything else in HomeAssistant).
I have two Lenovo M8 tablets ($100/each) that I'm using as home control panels - super convenient and rock solid. https://imgur.com/a/f0aNTRq

#204I don't self host anything. Does that make me weird?
Also I dislike sites that require JavaScript to display text and images.

#205My entire work life is scripted, and backups, torrents, VPN on-off, dog-watching-cam, streaming-by-sport is scripted at home. Work is literally issue? Fixed. If something new, I automate it.
I guess I use a VPN, and a browser that talks to my Roku, but I tend to think the automation is the thing.
Weird question.

Do you have an idea how to redirect all reddit request through libredit?
I use a Firefox extension to do it - https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/. You might be able to do some local DNS with a wildcard shenanigans, but this is much easier to set up.
I actually don't redirect my Reddit requests, since once in a blue moon I will want to comment on something, which libreddit doesn't support. However Invidious does have the option to let you follow certain channels, and since I don't comment on YouTube videos, it covers all of my use cases, so I redirect all Youtube traffic to it.

Re: What are your most used self-hosted applications?
#208Self-hosting is still way too hard. Running your own Plex server on an old laptop shouldn't be any more difficult or less secure than installing an app on your phone.
Folks shouldn't have to understand DNS, TLS, HTTP, IP addresses, ports, NAT, CGNAT, port forwarding, etc in order to run a server application on their own hardware.
I think we can build usable abstractions around most of it, while being secure by default.

Do IKEA blinds come with motors built in? How did you hook 'em up?
With the Ikea blinds, the motor is built into the tube the shade rolls around (for roller shades) or in the top of the blind (for the cellular blinds). There is a rechargeable battery pack that slots in at the top and a remote to control the shades. Nothing to hard wire. Search "Ikea TREDANSEN motorized blind" and you'll find the product page.
The only issue with the Ikea shades is that they can't be cut - so they'll only work for you if your window is the size of shades they carry. None of the Ikea sizes worked for me, I ended up taking the measurements and just ordering custom cut shades from a company called Select Blinds. A little more expensive than Ikea, but the quality does seem a bit better.
Re: What are your most used self-hosted applications?
#210Wow, the headline makes me feel kind of stupid and out of touch. When I think of the applications I run regularly, they're not "hosted" anywhere. They are native desktop applications that I run on my home computer. I do have a single server running 24/7 on my network, but I don't consider a home media NAS to be an "application" that is "self-hosted". It's just a linux box with a bunch of disks running NFS. Is NFS an…
The thing is desktop apps are Dead, for multiple reasons:
- People don't trust anymore to install softwares on their computer, using them in the browser is safer
- There is no good cross-platform UI, so nearly everything is now a web app
- There is tons of good open-source softwares that you can self-host and use from anywhere instead of just one computer, also there is more expectations around sharing access to friends, coworkers, ...
Most of the softwares described in the article are for personal usage, I'm pretty sure you know a lot of the "self-hosted" apps from this list: https://elest.io/fully-managed-services
