Yeah. I ran it in docker for years and it was such a hassle compared to HAOS. The switch to VM was best decision I made regarding HA.

Sorry you're getting downvoted. I don't know if I agree with you, but back in the golden ages of Reddit the rule was don't downvote because you disagree, downvote because it's a shit comment. I don't think your comment was shit... I think we've brought way too much of modern reddit to lemmy.

I was about to comment that I lived in Oakland for 5 years and it really isn't that bad. Like any city, it has its bad parts that you need to avoid. But you cleared it up.

a large part of east Oakland

A large part of east Oakland is bad. Luckily, it's easy to avoid... but not if you already live there.

I tried it earlier this year and it was nice, but lack of automatic transaction importing was a deal-breaker for me. It's so tedious to go through all of your various accounts and run exports, especially considering just how shitty most bank/credit/etc UIs are.

They've been off and on working on or talking about Plaid support, which would probably solve all or most of my complaints (so I'm following the GitHub thread to get notifications): https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/issues/898

I keep my docker container updated and every few months take a peak to see if there are any notable improvements, but not really going to touch it until that feature gets added.

A Shield TV is probably overkill for you and the recommendations of a pi would do just fine, but if it's in budget I say go for the Shield TV. Mine is nearly 8 years old and I haven't had a single issue, streams 4k HDR, and runs so much better than any of the crap that comes with even the newest of TVs.

If they're not technical and you don't feel like playing family help desk, you can't go wrong with either synology or qnap. The downside with them is the hardware is just barely powerful enough for a NAS. If they start to get into self-hosting at all -- pihole, home-assistant, minecraft servers, jellyfin, etc -- they'll quickly run into limitations.

If they're somewhat technical but not a Linux guru, I'd add Unraid (slackware based, but 100% UI-driven) to the list. I've been running it for years and it's been great. It makes running docker/VM a breeze on top of the hardware-agnostic setup of mixed drives that makes upgrading slowly over time painless.

I run Arch btw

I don't know if you were trying to be funny but that got a smirk out of me.

we should really update this to "After when some people thought Jesus was born but they fucked up by 4-6 years. Also why is there no year zero?"

AWSPTJWBBTFUB4YAWITNYZ doesn't really roll off the tongue, though. Maybe it's better if someone can translate that into Latin.

Edit: Google Translate says "Post cum quidam putant natus est Jesus, sed eruditionis 4-6 annis. Cur etiam annus nullus est nullus?" so I propose "Post cum"

while I appreciate everyone naming their favorite companies, this is the only real answer to the question. It doesn't matter at all which registrar you use, it's about brand recognition, support, add-on services, and cost.

[source: friend founded his own (now defunct) registrar and I would help out. Even when a registrar goes out of business there's no real risk, as there are plans in place to hand off customers to other sites]

Man, it's been far too long since I've seen some fresh gimmick accounts.

Are you open to feedback? I think people would enjoy your schtick if you made it a bit more believable. Put a little effort into your character -- what are they about? what makes them tick? (For example, would this character be triggered by the fact that they were addressed as "they/them"?) Give your gimmick some soul instead of having it feel like a lazily copy/paste of r/conservative comments. Best of luck!
