Yeah, whether or not a bed should be connected to the internet aside, internet connected appliances should still be usable without a connection.
Reminds me of an anecdote about a company that did cloud-connected toilets (for some reason?) that one user found they couldn’t flush when they had an internet outage. Their technical support suggested they flushed it by filling a bucket of water at the sink to manually flush the toilet, which would’ve been a janky but usable solution, if the user in question didn’t also happen to have cloud-connected faucets.
Yeah, I don’t know anything about self-hosting, but I’ve recently been working on switching from Windows 10 to Linux and I’ve been really enjoying Kubuntu so far.
