And here I've been vacationing in Svenborgia, like a peasant!
HAproxy is good at what it does but it's only good at proxying and simple rules. For the most part, it's used as a load balancer and router and doesn't really process the requests itself.
To add something here: HAProxy's ACLs are more powerful than anything nginx, Apache or even Envoy can do. Of course HAProxy is not a web server but "just" a reverse proxy that speaks HTTP (and TCP) but what you can do with its ACLs is often extremely impressive in its simplicity and elegance. A single-line ACL in HAProxy would require loading additional modules in nginx and writing a screenful of configuration directives. Though the average self-hoster will probably never need any of the power HAProxy offers.
In the past 20 years I have professionally used all four of these as web servers and/or reverse proxies and I am pretty confident that HAProxy beats all others when it comes to request processing. Though Envoy might be getting there.
The ID on the phone thing is weird. Like I’m gonna give my phone to a cop when they ask for my ID.
You don't do that. You present the cop a QR code generated on the fly by the ID app when selecting "show ID" (or driver's licence, in our country) that they then scan with their equivalent app or device. You don't physically give them the phone. At least that's the idea.
Like in many countries (traffic or street) cops here barely have a high school education and it's not unusual for them to be too stupid to be able to scan a QR code. So carrying your plastic cards with you is prudent.
In case you didn't know, Münecat recently uploaded a three-hour video debunking evolutionary psychology: https://youtu.be/31e0RcImReY
I figure the overlap between hbomberguy and münecat viewers in the Venn diagram is basically a circle, so that should help if you have an hbomberguy craving.
I believe it was because it was such a weird and dramatic shift in tone from the regular CAD content, which was not all that great to begin with. You probably had to be there (I wasn't).
Hbomberguy did a video on it that explains it well I think: https://youtu.be/TebCHHCw9rY

But what can it do more easily than an mid 20th century home can do?
One word: Automations. Everything from lights to irrigation, HVAC to surveillance cameras, fishtanks to plant monitoring, managed by a single, extensible open source platform, hosted locally in your own home.
Of course that is not trivial. If you don't see your smart home as a hobby you enjoy putting time and effort into then the smart home scene is not for you, especially not Home Assistant.
Sounds like you are in a fine place with your home, so you are probably not the target audience here.
With plugins you mean add-ons like Z2M, Mosquitto or VSCode Server, right?
I can never understand that argument (not even going into the fact that it is the IDF that is committing genocide in Gaza, not Biden or any other western leader). Do these people believe Trump would stop supporting Israel? Stop sending weapons and funding that genocidal war? That's laughable and I can only assume it is a bad faith argument employed to convince potential democratic voters to abstain, thus strengthening Trump. Because nobody can be that aggressively naïve, right?

I agree. I recently re-watched the four seasons of Lower Decks after having seen the whole series only once before and thus having forgotten many details and episodes. That Peanut Hamper episode was the only one I skipped immediately as soon as I realised which episode it was. Just awful and boring, both the episode and the character.
