There are several methods of installing Home Assistant, and really, there is no “best” way. Whatever somebody tells you, it is a personal choice.

| @hexa:lossy.network | that is cute | 21:46:58 |
| @hexa:lossy.network |
I run Home Assistant, which powers my home, on a custom build computer running Proxmox. In Proxmox, I have created a virtual machine running Linux (Debian Buster) for Home Assistant. I’ve used the Supervised Installer to install Home Assistant Supervised. Yes, I run a Supervised system.

|  Zhaofeng Li joined the room. | 22:32:59 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Regarding the regrettable drama, has he filed a report to Fedora yet? I'm interested to see their reaction. | 23:04:23 |
| Zhaofeng Li | It's truly unfathomable that he would act this way, but it's even worse now with the founder taking a stance. I might have to rewrite my integration for my portable AC for OpenHAB... | 23:06:43 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | I have looked and not found anything yet | 23:11:07 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | yeah, would be a shame to have to leave home-assistant behind | 23:11:29 |
| Zhaofeng Li | Another project that has publicly stated their dislike of distribution packages that I know of is xpra, but from my limited interaction with its maintainer they seem to be nice: https://www.xpra.org/trac/wiki/Packaging/DistributionPackages | 23:14:19 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | If only our packaging was bad | 23:23:30 |
 lukegb (he/him) | The Xpra one is interesting because they're like: Arch is great! They don't really patch things and they're up to date | 23:33:18 |

Regarding the regrettable drama, has he filed a report to Fedora yet? I'm interested to see their reaction. Will be interesting as I'm the maintainer for at least one of the packages in question for the Fedora Package Collection as well | 23:50:50 |
| Zhaofeng Li | I'm also surprised they seemingly did not realize that you are a major contributor to Home Assistant as well. | 23:53:29 |

| Fabian Affolter | Let's say "I was". It changed over time as I'm not so much interested in "easy installation and setup for everybody" but in the possibility to run an installation for years | 07:36:08 |

Let's say "I was". It changed over time as I'm not so much interested in "easy installation and setup for everybody" but in the possibility to run an installation for years Do you still maintain the fedora part? | 08:05:29 |

Let's say "I was". It changed over time as I'm not so much interested in "easy installation and setup for everybody" but in the possibility to run an installation for years * Do you still maintain the fedora part actively? | 08:05:59 |
| Fabian Affolter | I do as time permits. Fedora IoT is an official edition and when you are talking about IoT then you have to have bindings
Using pip on an immutable OS...let's leave that alone for now 😋 | 08:33:13 |
| Fabian Affolter | Initially my target was CentOS for the IoT stuff because of the long support. To get there the packages have to go through Fedora | 08:37:14 |
| Fabian Affolter | After it was announced that CentOS (how we knew it) will be EOL 8 years earlier, I decided to stick to a truly community-driven distro | 08:40:02 |
| Fabian Affolter | wled is still on 0.4.4, though | 08:40:52 |
| Mic92 (Old) | @fabaff, I thought centos got revived in the rocky linux project. Not that I am not appretiating your contribution to NixOS instead :) | 09:31:25 |
| Mic92 (Old) | One disadvantage of weechat-matrix is that I cannot complete the right names, when addressing someone. | 09:34:50 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | Redacted or Malformed Event | 09:35:27 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | yup, hoping the rust rewrite will make things better | 09:35:56 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | weechat-matrix as it currently is blocks my weechat for a minute on connect (initial burst/sync) | 09:36:24 |
| @hexa:lossy.network | and then I get micro lags every so often | 09:36:34 |
| Mic92 (Old) | I don't seem to have lags. Maybe my gigabit/matrix server is fast enough? | 09:38:23 |
| Mic92 (Old) | But I don't think the rust version can fix this if it uses similar blocking APIs. Don't know the internals of weechat here. It might be easier to spawn a background thread in rust so. | 09:39:21 |
