Missed the point on that one...

Federation is a tool to connect instances together. If one instance isn't being run in a way that you like, you can and should create an account on a different instance that better aligns with your ideals. Or, if you can't find any such instance, then you can create your own instance. This is the beauty of federation!

I always use a version tag, but I don't spend any time reading release notes for 95% of my containers. I'll go through and update versions a couple times a year. If something breaks, at least I know that it broke because I updated it and I can troubleshoot then. The main consideration for me is to not accidentally update and then having a surprise problem to deal with.

I think the main page has been untouched for a few years now. I think JDM went all in on the forum and Discord and stopped focusing on the static webpage.

The discord is active. There is some problem with the hosting, I don't remember the details, but they are recommending people use the internet archive to find information posted on the forum for the time being.

Sure... stop by, I'll give it to you!

If I have a $10 bill in my wallet, I would give it to literally anybody who asked me.

These are good! On my instance, my sidebar says "You can stay as long as you’re not being a jerk."

Honest question... just about everything I've read regarding why HFCS is bad is really just about the dangers of consuming sugar in general. Is there something that shows it's worse than sugar?

I totally agree that we eat way too much sugar in America, and I'm all for reducing. I just wonder if any efforts to this end should be focused on ALL sources of sugar, not just HFCS.

I think this is just a terminology difference. The documentation says that "Add Ons" are not supported in Container and Core, but "Add Ons" means the easy button you press to install those services. All of those Add On services are just containers that HAOS manages for you. Every single one of them can be set up as a container manually and function the same as the official "Add Ons."

I don't know for sure, but I wonder if the reason for this is that it's not technically possible for a container to manage other external containers. Does anybody know about this?

[–] tko@tkohhh.social 3 points 3 months ago (3 children)

To be fair, Addons are just other containers. If you're using a Docker install for Home Assistant, I think the idea is you already have a handle on your docker host, and you're capable of adding whatever other containers you might need.
