Do you have any articles discussing this? I'm interested to learn more as someone who doesn't live there.

It's good to plant trees, but beware of folks using it as cover to avoid more important work like actually reducing fossil fuel usage: https://art19.com/shows/the-climate-deniers-playbook/episodes/5322de3f-ffc0-4258-a890-c648f59bc195

If you click the switch plan link in the blog post it'll let you change. That's what I had to do.

That's definitely its focus, but if you want a very simple store it does support payments: https://ghost.org/help/ecommerce/

If you're willing to accept JavaScript I'd recommend a Ghost setup. Pretty good platform once it's set up and easy to selfhost. Not sure you'll find a platform without JS for your use case tbh.

I have two of the U6 lite APs and they cover my whole house perfectly. They're POE but I just got a cheap POE unmanaged TP-Link switch for now.

I use yarr as well but forked it to use postgres as the database instead of sqlite: https://github.com/jgkawell/yarr

We got one from Grain Wood and liked it so much we got a second. One we have is pine wrapped in a veneer of walnut and the other is painted white. They're not hardwoods, but they're leagues better than particle board IKEA stuff and don't cost a fortune.

I'm experimenting with the Music Assistant add-on but it seems to be early days for that project. Could be awesome though as it combines media libraries from services (e.g. YouTube music) and self-hosted things (e.g. Navidrome) and plugs them into the Home Assistant ecosystem.

I'd recommend looking at the Wyoming/Piper/Rhasspy system. There's some really good minds working on it and it's got a big community behind it already. It's also plug and play with Home Assistant which is awesome. It's the system I use and while I'm still fine tuning it for my use cases it's already pretty great.

That's a really good idea. Just checked and c/strong_towns does actually exist! It's not active but if we all start using it we could make it into something.

There's a ton of good resources out there! If you're in North America, Strong Towns is a great place to start. On YouTube there are great channels like Not Just Bikes, RMTransit, and City Beautiful.
