I've been actively suggesting to those who ask my opinion that they should wait until 2025 and more models coming out with NACS charging integrated. Tesla may be a shitshow but you can't (yet) beat the charging infrastructure and adapters are never as good.
Also, the market is changing so rapidly that it's hard to justify most of the current offerings.
You have exactly summed up my views. I currently have a 2020 MY and it convinced me that I probably won't buy another ICE vehicle. With all the crap coming out of Tesla and Musk lately, I also can't imagine getting another Tesla.
I'm just waiting for NACS to be built in and hoping today's layoff news doesn't ruin that as well...
This is what I do. DAVx5 works well as long as you're ok withiut realtime sync (you can pick how fast you want it). I would love to see Fastmail build the support I to their own app but that's not where we're at.
I'm also using Dozzle and it's been great for semi realtime use. I occasionally think about something for longer term logs but haven't yet had the motivation.
I have two libraries for movies because my home theater can let 4k + HDR shine while my Internet connection doesn't have the upload to send that to family. They get stuck with 1080 and have never complained. My server has the power to transcode on the fly but for now I have the free space to keep both.
TV is almost entirely 1080 unless there is a super good reason to upgrade past that. I'm not actually sure if I've ever done that.
I usually figure there is about a year at the beginning of each term that is still the result of the previous administration. I'm curious how that would change the numbers here (though not yet curious enough to look it up).
Also, those numbers do a really good job of highlighting just how unrelated the market and the buying power of individuals really is.
VSCode in HA is primarily useful for editing config files and with all the latest pushes towards config in the UI it's not as useful as it used to be. That said, it does integrate with HA to provide completion for entities and some basic yaml validation.
I also use it to work on ESPhome configs as well as some simple file management. I never got SSH working correctly on the HA VM and VSCode has been a convenient workaround.
Could it work using temporary tokens? It looks like that may work without needing additional services. I don't know that it is intended for this kind of use but might be worth trying.
