There’s no better option today because it’s impossible to make it a better experience. That machine at home will need upgrades, it could fail, it costs thousands, it sucks lots of power. There is no mass market appeal.
- sbarre 7mo agoMaybe today.. But my TV has been sitting on my stand for years, and it doesn't need upgrades. My Raspberry Pi pi-hole is a Pi 2b that has been running for over 5 years and it's totally fine. It has automatic security upgrades turned on but nothing else, and it doesn't need any time or attention. It just does its job. I have a Homelab that's a mini-PC that's quiet and does not suck lots of power and is tucked away neatly in a closet. I think it would be completely possible to provide an appliance-like machine that would not have the problems you're outlining. Impossible is absolutely the wrong qualifier.
