Thanks a lot for Immich and for posting here. Much appreciated the hard work this year and helping myself and family on our self hosted journey.

Performance mostly, encoding is better, reducing load on my NAS and using it specifically for storage. Immich performs better as well, it's pretty resource hungry I found. I also am planning to set up Frigate for home security and that's the main reason I wanted something with a bit more power.
I just recently discovered proxmox and am slowly moving my docker containers off my NAS. Picked up a used Intel NUC, i5-8259, 32gb ram, 512gb HDD. It's been great so far, very happy with its ability paired with proxmox.
I downloaded and tested as well and noticed right away there is no sleep timer which I use every night. I actually quite like the audiobook shelf app. It's served my wife and I quite well this past year.
Wingardium leviosa!
Should've went for the full 2 decillion
Same just gotta do this last dog food order..
I think it's mostly to do with their advertising tactics and misleading people in what their service is actually doing.
They also had a data breach and did not handle it well.
Maybe there's other stuff I don't remember.. I've never used them, I've been on Mullvad for some years now but considering proton next.
The lights we have definitely require the app and an account to get them to do anything other than solid white.
Thanks I will look into those products as well as Home Assistant. I've yet to pull the trigger on installing HA, I don't have a lot of devices that have made me want to use it yet. We only have a couple Google speakers and Chromecasts.
Apparently it's to detect nearby devices so that you don't have to pair the traditional way.
The other thing that bothers me about these lights is they have a built in microphone that listens for music playing and can adjust the lights to match the music. I haven't looked myself but some users on Reddit have posted about the amount of network activity with Govee cloud and Google Analytics being very high.
If I can isolate them from accessing the internet and connect through Home Assistant locally then I may keep them.. These are sort of a trial run for future permanent Christmas/Occasion lights on the outside of the house.
Not that I support PP (also I hate that I need to specify that first) but he's got a couple videos on YouTube that I thought were fairly well done addressing a couple things regarding trade and some plans.
