I don't have enough up votes for this.

The environmental impact: priceless
Too much to list.
Stuff that was created to do something and does just that.
No fuss, no ads, no updates, no sudden change of terms, no phoning home.
It's not that easy. Things change.
I am happy to have made the decision. However, I might have decided totally differently if I had known back then:
How badly the environment is going south (for humans) How bad my health would be (most critical things came up suddenly)
Among other things.
Allow yourself enjoyment. Do things.
Enforce 'this was fun'.
Sounds stupid and piling responsibility on you. I'm sorry about that. But maybe this can help you. I've been there.
Always has been.
Me too.
Man people really like taking a beating.
Haha no worries, not that you should have.
I could recommend re-packaging medicine into more appropriate boxes/containers (e. G. For a week or multiple) which I even do at home since it's far more practicable than digging through all boxes every day.
Nice Blog post, thanks for sharing your experiences!
I have to comment one thing though. You're lucky you can just pack less medicine... 🙂
Never looked in to deeply how haos manages things.
I never used hacs since I've heard it complicates setups and maintenance and I don't want to put in more effort than I absolutely have to (working as it pro and don't need that privately). Running several integrations, Enphase as stated, airthings, broadlink, esphome, homekit, melcloud, nanoleaf and the main one for me, zigbee.
Speed when booted is perfectly fine, can't say otherwise.
What specifically is slow? Oh wait you said funkily, I interpreted slow. (edit: no wait you said it later lol) Anyhow, there's the modbus integration though I assume it's just the basic interface to your pv and you'd need to put in the effort to get data yourself or something. Don't know modbus.
Strange. I've been running haos for some years on a 3b+ which is different but the soc is the same (although slightly higher clock) as is the amount of ram.
As said, I run haos though, not containers. Not sure how you tried it.
Just slap it on a SD card and go.. Mostly intuitive.

I don't know about integrating your pv though. I am lucky with Enphase, although that has some downsides besides generally working.
Believe me, there have been attempts to remove them from the wheel.
