(I wasn't trying to make a point.) As far as I know, that's what the initiatives like PMPC¹ are for. I think in Switzerland, a law recently passed that seems to go in that direction² (Open Source should by default but some leniency as far as I can interpret the text). According to this³ OSOR report, something similar happened in Italy in 2019. So, I think we're slowly going in that direction in Europe.

I've skimmed at the docs, and it's not clear to me how it would deal with:

* Something like row-level access control, so that people can only access the data in tables that belong to them (say clients can only view their own purchases, and also not modify them after they checked them out).

* Integration with the rest of the world, e.g. sending email, acting on triggers, etc.

* Something like CSV export/import.

* Internationalization.

Would that all be possible? Straightforward? Do those all require extending (with go or js)?

Looks like a nice tool.

Reacting to your first point: As far as I know (western europe), heatpumps mostly are used to heat water to then heat your house, and renovating generally means reducing breathability of the house itself, which, combined with the temp difference, means condensation/mold problems. You then have to correct that by opening windows intelligently or installing air ventilation, and then a heat exchanger to not lose too much heat. Like you say, it seems to be a no-brainer then to instead combine heat pump _and_ ventilation, so that the ventilation itself works with a heat pump.

The only counter-argument I have is that if all the heating were done using ventilation, you might have to live in a very windy house, but I feel like entirely decoupling the two is not the best solution to that problem…

I'm using microg's lineage, and something I was wondering when choosing a rom was, how secure are all those roms in terms of supply chain/developpers. There are many, with no big reassuring name behind, and it's hard to trust that what looks like a random rom from the internet is not just a full trojan horse.

It would be nice to have just the one or two options, with app store and some kind of official entities backing (say, states, or universities, or distros).
