No, not at all, I just don't expect the level of reliability they provide with how complex the stack is, and that is a complicated stack. (For a literal light bulb).
There's a difference between Matter (the interoperability standard) and Thread (The preferred matter communication protocol) and you'll see a lot of devices advertised as "Matter over thread" which is important because for those you'll need a matter bridge device to act as an edge router for the mesh "thread" network the devices create. These can be had cheaply though and if you're one of the like 1 in 3 Americans with an iPad you already own one.
Hue do be having that "it just works" track record. Which is absolutely divine magic in my opinion because if you took one small look at their back end infrastructure stack you'd never imagine it could be... Reliable... Somehow? Like.. Look at this...
Dude, you need to see how nasty the justice system in the US really is. They're not your protectors and they're literally not required by law to be so. Supreme Court decided that decades ago.
I'd recommend against it. Apple's software ecosystem isn't as friendly for self hosting anything, storage is difficult to add, ram impossible, and you'll be beholden to macOS running things inside containers until the good folks at Asahi or some other coummity startup add partial linux support.
And yes, I've tried this route. I ran an m1 mac mini as a home server for a while (running jellyfin and some other containers). It pretty consistently ran into software bugs (less maintained than x64 software) and every time I wanted to do an update instead of sudo whateveryourdistroships update, and a reboot, it was an entire process involving an apple account, logging into the bare metal device, and then finally running their 15-60 minute long update. Perfectly fine and acceptable for home computing, but not exactly a good experience when you're hosting a service.
Part of this is Apple's fault. They were part of the head council of the Kronos group responsible for Vulkan, but chose to implement a proprietary graphics API (Metal) over just rolling Vulkan.... Developers obviously don't want to support an additional graphics library on top of what they already do (significant effort) so you lose a lot of games that would've been otherwise marginally expensive to port over.
Linux supports active directory natively and can be joined to a windows hosted active directory domain. It supports centralized policy management as well and in addition there's a completely open source implementation in: https://www.openldap.org/ supported by RedHat.
There's more money flowing through linux systems than you can even imagine. It's an incredibly lucrative target that runs approx 85-90% of all internet service servers.
I pasted some links, but the DoE says groundwater will most likely be contaminated. Depends on who you trust and how willing you are to suffer radioactive contamination. Granted, it's probably a better risk profile than say... Coal... But that doesn't change the fact we have no good longterm plan to store any amount of radioactive waste, and if history is your teacher, a plan will most likely not come to fruition.
Honestly, despite all of nuclears many benefits, there's still no good action plan for the significant amounts of substantially dangerous waste it leaves around. Hard to figure out a storage plan for an invisible poison seeping from a rock for the next 50,000 years.
This ignores so much that has been fought for and done by so many politicians who actually have a desire to make things better. It's honestly disgraceful you're that bitter you can't see the good faith efforts that have been made.
