The blog post linked within was a good read.

A NAS is the perfect device to host it on though. Docker or VM.

At first, a lot. Not so much recently though. It's definitely more work though I'll admit. Sometimes that's the price to pay for privacy. Also, I learn a lot of skills that could help me get a good paying job by doing it.

My smart home is Home Assistant hosted on a server in my house. It's fully open source and has gone through multiple paid audits to show its security is good too. The only non-local-only integrations are the weather api's and my thermostat (ecobee).

"Blazing fast" makes me check out so fast.

Its also possible that out of the people who hate on it, the people who haven't actually tried it outnumber the ones who have.

I agree. People need to chill.

Fair enough. Personally, I am a developer who only has worked professionally in C#. C/C++ scare me. I would get used to it if I were to use it professionally. on the other hand, I picked up rust as a hobby language for some low level stuff because I love the guardrails the compiler provides. I think rust would help make me a better C programmer TBH.

Do you have something against it? People hate on it like it's a fad or whatever. But, the people who like it, LOVE it.

Rust is the most admired language, more than 80% of developers that use it want to use it again next year.

Rust is on its seventh year as the most loved language with 87% of developers saying they want to continue using it.

8 years in a row. I can understand the perspective of someone who spent years honing their craft in C/C++ and not wanting to learn a new language. But, the Harassment of the "Rust in Linux Lead" is ridiculous. I'm not saying you are harassing. But, saying it's a tech bro thing is just negative and doesn't do justice to how many devs just like rust.

I could see that backfiring though..

To my understanding role players are really what's keeping it alive. I imagine they don't want to piss them off.

No, using them is fine. It's every night that I was concerned about. They sell a special packet that you mix with water and I believe it says not to do it too often. I believe regular salt water would probably be okay.
