  My hosting costs are ~$500 a month. I get about $118 a month from Patreon subs. I also get $200 a month from a single advertiser. Still need to pay ~$200 a month out of pocket.

  Ads suck, sure, but shit’s expensive for hobbyists.

  I’ve made some DIY smart home devices with some ESP32s, I know how much premade stuff can be overpriced for sure. I still want to make a TOF sensor for my water filter salt tank

  We’ve gotten too used to the price of tech being so low because we’re almost always the product. The Meta VR headsets, Alexa, Google Home, anything where data from us can be harvested, they’ll gladly subsidize to help get it into our homes.

  I’m really hoping the HA voice stuff keeps getting better and better, we need it if we’re ever going to get people away from these darat harvesting “assistants”
