I used both, I ended up settling on searxng because Whoogle seemed to be unable to retain my settings. Might be something with my cookie configuration, but searxng has no problem remembering my preferences. If that is not a problem for you then they are comparable; Whoogle is pretty simple to get going and works well, searxng is slightly more complicated to set up (but not that much with docker) but has a ton more features.

Fabuloso is real cleaner, parent comment is just saying it looks tasty.

Muscle wizard, go go go.

It’s not needed, and you can run it separately standalone if you do want it as well.

Correct, the discovery process where you add them doesn’t actually involve the addon and works fine without it. The addon is just a wrapper for the standalone ESPhome web UI. It’s also not the only way to author and flash a config to a device, you can do it from any computer and on the command line.

I tried to make Grocy work as a kitchen inventory and shopping tool too but damn, it tries to do way too much detail. I’m sure there are people with enough discipline that it appeals to, but I really felt like it was way too particular and entering/tracking items across areas/brands/types seemed like overkill. Its whole system seems unintuitive to me and I never could get to the point where it seemed natural, so I gave up quickly despite really wanting it to work.

My gripe with NC has always been that keeping it up to date is a pain, I love the actual functionality. I’m in the process of migrating my install from a normal install in a TrueNAS Core jail to the containerized version in the Linux version of TrueNAS and that too is a struggle. I’m hoping that the containerized version will be easier to keep up to date, as that seemed to go wrong constantly.

Netdata for me, it reports stats and metrics for VMs and containers too, automatically, and it’s easy to install in Proxmox.

Yes, it has a local webui by default. You don’t have to connect it to their cloud, though I do because it’s free and lets me get notifications if something goes offline.

In principle yes, of course, but I think we all can be reasonably suspicious that Rubio is using this exact justification as a smoke screen to lay the groundwork of sowing doubt to manufacture a false “controversy” come election time. He’s also being just vague enough that he can play both sides, too, depending on which option he finds most politically beneficial. I’m glad to have people scrutinize our electoral process, but not when they start from a predetermined conclusion. Which I know I’m also doing by assuming Rubio’s intent, but it’s not like we haven’t been here before.
