  • I just want to set my preferences. I want to say “only show from these countries if nothing else is found and warn me”, set open hardware first, for IOT stuff show homeassistant compatibility, prefer community coops over worker over sole propriter over public over private equity, prefer union over non-union, prefer diy friendly, prefer locally sources, prefer regenerative agriculture, warn of internet requirements, warn of non free software, etc etc

    Like the market is made to be absolutely opaque on stuff like that.

    Like have them like Blue sky and now Mastadon has with their feed starter packs. Have an optional question are, let me send up or sign up to a boycott channel.

    A bazare to eBay to Facebook marketplace bridge would be big too if you had a shipping/oracle support.





  • I use Ranchers store for that reason. Update the chart and the whole service updates.

    Just wish they had a homesteader (this is what would call it) kind of chart catalog that had some some good defaults for homelab use. You know assume longhorn CSI, 1 to 12 node clusters, small users (1 to 20) base, etc. Pack depencies from other charts in the catalog (if you need one postgress db, reuse as much of that deployment for the next app that needs it, etc).

    You CAN do all of that now, but each app isn’t really aware of each other, and you have to set the configs for your actual lab.








  • I feel like this would pair well with Nostr for discovery.

    I want to say “Why not Matrix?” Since the uses are same (e2e chats, calls, video, and VR), but the fact that yours is focused on less server involvement is cool. I wonder if you removed the peer id generation from the page, could you have the connection page be totally static (i.e. I could just open a html file either locally, from a server, or IPFS link, and from there add the peer details myself).







  • Worse is those things CAN change. Do it require an Internet connection? No, but this update does so you better hope you have it firewalled right. Does it need an app? No, but this update does. Easy never update right? … Now you have an unpatchable hard coded device on your network. What could go wrong?

    It changed after 90 days? Whomp whomp no returns. You could fight the legal battle with the mutlicolgerate to get it refunded by the manufacturer. That will be painless to do with the thing you have hardwired into your house…

    Listen I get you, I look at opensource firm for a given product type first THEN buy off of that, even that requires added research if there is a server componet (smart vaccums create maps of various types).

    Easist option is to do nothing, but that does suck. Day to day chores suck a little, when you are disabled its a massive suck. Listen if your full of piss and vinigar, spry and full of energy, go install automation for charity for seniors and the disabled. They can really use the help.
