i'm not gonna go as far as saying never gonna happen but i'd say its on the furthest back burner if at all. special vdev is a scary one to implement because if it goes down, itll take the whole pool down with it on top of not being very useful for most homelab users slog also doesn't make the most sense for most users as to my best understanding it only really protects you in case of power loss and at that point you might be better served just getting a ups. Personally i do run a triple mirror special vdev on my storage pool and i think it causes some stability issues with hexos.

So actually we do want to have an official discord (in fact, we already have it "parked" so-to-speak), but we want to wait to roll it out when we can be more prepared to manage it. Our team is entirely revving on dev cycles right now and adding comms platforms to manage to an already thinly spread set of resources is only going to overwhelm and delay development. Bottom line is that I'm all we've got for official comms right now and I'm spread insanely thin at the moment. I really want to hire someone to take over communications for me, but the timing for that is more likely Q4 or even Q1 2026.

I believe integrating Home Assistant with HexOS could be a game-changer for the operating system, offering functionality that is sorely lacking in almost all other OS platforms today. A Home Assistant integration would allow users to monitor and manage their NAS more effectively. Imagine being able to track critical metrics such as system uptime, array health, disk health checks, and the overall status of your storage systems — all from within Home Assistant. Furthermore, adding control features would significantly enhance the user experience. It would be fantastic if users could automate tasks like rebooting or stopping/starting applications, VMs, or containers directly through Home Assistant. Additionally, automating disk spin-downs during off-peak hours for power savings would be a powerful and eco-friendly feature. The potential of Home Assistant integration is vast, and it's difficult to fully capture all the possibilities in a single topic. However, the core idea is simple: having such an integration, with continuous updates and new features, would be a major advantage for HexOS. While most other operating systems either lack similar functionality or offer only basic, limited capabilities, HexOS could stand out by providing a more comprehensive, user-friendly, and flexible solution.
