“Nearly the entirety of every Mastodon server, every post, every reply, is ephemeral. When a Mastodon server shuts down, all its posts disappear from the surface of the web, forever.” — that’s why #POSSE is so great! https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://tantek.com/2024/046/t1/the-ephemeral-web

Here is a hot take — instead of investing in AI, @mozilla should be selling hosting services, domains and email hosting, and stay true to the open web stack. Imagine how well you could pair those with Firefox similar to how Chrome does. https://mozilla.social/@mozilla/111896572632380551

Responded to @oivaeskola:

@oivaeskola Yes, since HomeAssistant supports running the full “operating system” inside Virtualbox (same as Hass.io) so you can install all the add-ons (basically Docker containers with some meta data) through the built-in tooling. You will need to forward the serial port to Virtualbox machine for the zigbee dongle, but everything else should be possible to configure from the UI.

Responded to @kasparsd:

@oivaeskola Are you planning on running HomeAssistant on macOS inside Virtualbox? In that case you can run the official MQTT broker add-on https://github.com/home-assistant/addons/blob/master/mosquitto/DOCS.md and MQTT component https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mqtt/ alongside the zigbee2mqtt add-on https://github.com/zigbee2mqtt/hassio-zigbee2mqtt#installation
