What is the one thing every self-hosted household should have? (alien.top)

Let's keep it simple. I'm sure most of us are proud of Docker CPU cycles charted in Grafana via Prometheus, but I'm talking about the house as a whole.

My personal favorite is turning out to be Mealie.

I self-host a bunch of things for my personal use, but Mealie definitely takes the cake in terms of benefitting the entire household. I like the meal planner and the ability to hit the supermarket once to get all the necessary groceries for the week (I've never been able to achieve this before). I don't think there is anything in my stack that even compares with the benefits my house gets of out Mealie.

My runner up would have to be any of the self-hosted media players (Plex, Jellyfin, etc.), but we also have Netflix and a bunch of streaming services, so not that impactful. Home Assistant would also be a close runner up, but it only provides great benefits for me, not the rest of the house. I think Immich will be on this list shortly, when it matures a bit more (are we able to import existing photos yet?)

Adguard is probably the one I like the most has it's used by everyone but no one sees it and better for kids.

Otherwise i don't see what mealy have to offer compare to tandoori and other similar apps ?

Most issue i have is with french recipe (we are french canadian) with theses tools vs books. It would be great if I could have Amazon tell me the recipe while cooking..... Any that does that ?
