I agree. The standard nerdsnark can be a bit grating, when the person on the receiving end is, basically, doing the best they can to offer an open solution, while also balancing funding the project without everyone feeling they're just milking.

HASS hits a really good balance, imho. They offer a paid service on top, but have no problem with people just running locally, or using a VPN to access.
