I'm still renting so I've not really bothered with any thermostat yet. I used to have a Nest Learning thermostat when I was living in a place where they allowed me to install it, but I gave that away when I moved.
Haven't bothered with thermostats since, and likely won't until I've moved into my own place, but I'm hoping to find a thermostat that can run without cloud or at least, with an OSS cloud replacement.
I went through them all and it seems the only one that's fully recommended is the Dreame Tech Z10 Pro. I actually bought it too the other day with the intention of installing this on it, so now waiting for delivery.
The rooting process seems relatively involved though, so we'll see how it goes.

Having said that, if you don't need a good client/server model, my personal preference is qBittorent, which, for me having grown up with uTorrent, is a lot nicer to use.
Their only con is that they're not available in more places (they run their own infrastructure), but I guess you can't expand at the speed of light.

I've been having to work around it by copying over the playlist I was shuffled, running it through shuf, and then putting it in to a separate playlist, and lastly, disable shuffle. It's garbage, but it's better than what Spotify produces.
Podman has a full Docker compatible API, so you just have to enable it, and then set the DOCKER_HOST to point to its socket. From there docker compose should work as if you had Docker.
Podman also is currently working on "podman machine", which can spin up a Linux VM to run Podman on macOS and Windows. I think it's still in beta or something, but it seems to be working already.
There is also things like Podman Desktop[0] and Podman Desktop Companion[1] which attempt to bring an experience similar to Docker Desktop to Podman.
It's also not easy to move away from it. It requires time and effort. Time that many don't have.
How does this work then? How can you have a Indian IP address, while the server is located in the UK?
Adminer has added a lot to my Dev workflow, I really hope it doesn't die.
