If you appreciate OpenStreetMaps then check out StreetComplete. Its "like" Pokemon Go but for improving maps.
I've been using Magic Earth for a while and it is quite good. Better interface than OsmAnd and Organic, but I keep all three installed.
I've got a handful of Android-based TVs that I'm becoming increasingly irritated with. Google regularly pushes updates that break stuff. I already have Jellyfin and Navidrome running on my network and can play them on the TV without issue. Netflix et al are also no issue, but being able to stream other sources such as YouTube/NewPipe.
I am not a fan of Apple either, so adding to them to the mix is a nonstarter.
Funny. I just uninstalled Google Messages a few days ago in favor of QUIK SMS. I miss nothing.
Home Assistant is a great alternative. It gets better and better as all Google and Alexa get worse and worse.
That is the very obvious place to have that and yet still I some how missed it. Thanks!
It doesn't seem able to display in my silly American units. At least not Wind speed or visibility. It would also be amazing to have current temperature, wind, and humidity on a single widget.
For image hosting I would look at Immich. It aims to be a full Google Photos replacement. It isn't quite there yet, but it is quite featureful and rapidly improving.
If you just like the personal heat map then checkout grrrmin_heatmap. It's a pretty flexible python script for generating them.
I like Our Groceries. It's not 100% free but it's really good. It doesn't do all of those things but it's still worth checking out.
Kubernetes is great if you run lots of services and/or already use kubernetes at work. I use it all the time and I've learned a lot on my personal cluster that I've taken to work to improve their systems. If you're used to managing infra already then it's not that much more work, and it's great to be able to shutdown a server for maintenance and not have to worry about more than a brief blip on your home services.
I so want them to do this. Big ol baphomet right on the cover, and put the TST tenets on the first page. If they undercut the Trump bible aren't they kind of obligated to go with the cheaper option?
