How to keep tabs on GitHub Repositories' new releases of software?
Otherwise, I am thinking of just polling the release page (for example https://github.com/home-assistant/android/releases/latest) with some API and checking for changes in the new URL that it redirects to. But this seems quite "dirty" really.

Wear OS not reaching Home Assistant local server through public IP/DDNS over bluetooth when phone is connected to LAN.
I recently bough a Wear OS smartwatch. Installed Home Assistant app on it and connected to my HA server using my domain name. Now the problem is the smartwatch cannot reach HA server when it is connected to my phone over bluetooth and my phone is connected to my LAN. If my phone is not connected to my LAN it works. Also If I disconnect bluetooth and force the watch to use wifi then it works. This issue is well explained in a bug on github.

That time I forgot to create alerts for a leak sensor
I opened up the Home Assistant app on my phone and pulled up the sensor. It had, indeed, worked as designed and clearly showed that the leak started at about 11:30pm the night before… it was currently about 7:30am.

Some whole house audio and presence detection use cases
Also, I am using the bluetooth on the Pi to drive Room Assistant, to tell which room I'm in and automatically switch on the audio in that room when I am in that room, and switch it off when I leave. It also has support for the grid-eye sensor which looks like the flir sensor you useThere's also a similar project for ESP32 called ESPresence.

Are bluetooth beacons still the best way to do location tracking in a building?
Check out Room Assistant. I have 9 RaspberryPi Zeros set up around my house and these do a great job tracking which rooms our cats are in, provided that we put a tiny BLE dongle on their collar.

I miss my self-hosting hobby
Earlier I had six raspberry pi's spread around the house to try out new things (e.g. room level presence detection - which did not work well despite weeks of tuning - and as snapcast clients). But it became a pita to keep watch over so many independent systems, updating them, remembering the IP, passwords, forgetting what I have installed last time, etc. This is what I like with the whole docker thing: fire up a container, tweak it, and then if it is not used delete it again without affecting the other services.
