context, samsung wants to charge me for an api ive used for free for 6 years and that i rely on for one device (my thermostat)

How-To Geek

Samsung wants SmartThings API users to pay, and Home Assistant could suffer

You might have fewer ways to control your smart home.

plugging in two computers with an ethernet cable and they can instantly talk because both have an ipv6 link-local is so cool tho, and no worries about those addresses being routed

at my job all my coworkers hate ipv6, but the hatred is not spawned out of ignorance, but a complete disinterest in learning new networking concepts outside of CIDR blocks

@d1@autistics.life @Ashedryden@xoxo.zone the main issue is it must have native apps for mobile, and i need to be able to have roles control channel access, an extensible api for rebuilding the different bots that i use in my discord server, and screensharing. i have tried all those options, and i just haven't found one that meets all the things i need. i would really like to use a FOSS solution, but i feel like ive tried everything.
