That would be nice.

Can you walk me through debouncing please

The other day, @tifriis posted an awesome article about Zigbee network performance and it brought attention to something I was unaware of, which is that my devices aren't supposed to shout all day, everyday about doing mostly nothing. I immediately followed the advice in the article and tried to debounce everything. But then...

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

My bad, didn't think it would be important.

In the article, it talks about Tuya and their off key implementation of Zigbee and then links to this article https://smarthomescene.com/reviews/moes-linptech-presence-sensor-zss-lp-hp02-review/#zigbee-network-spam

sabreW4K3 OP ,

found my database grew in size very quickly

Hold me! I'm dealing with that and haven't figured out how to fix it. How does the templating thing work? All my devices are Tuya devices, so you can imagine how quickly my database balloons up.

On the 20th of March 2024 (a week ago at the time of this post), version 26.0.0 of Docker was released. There are a number of changes in this release to be aware of, with one in particular causing issues with all versions of Portainer. Our team are working on fixes for this issue, with a 2.20.1 patch release in testing currently for our 2.20 STS branch and due in a week's time, as well as a planned inclusion in our next LTS release (2.21), due in a few months time.

This is what it was! 😱

Seeing issues with Revanced too.

@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Just tried updating microg, no joy. I also see they removed support for the old Vanced MicroG

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Oh, I never had that problem. Deleted Vanced MicroG and updated Revanced MicroG anyway.

That sounds like a terrible user experience. Almost as painful as Symfonium losing my headphones when I pause it.

Tempo – An open source music client for Subsonic built natively for Android, with Android Auto support and synchronized lyrics and it's available on F-Droid (github.com)

Hello community, today I want to present to you the work done on Tempo in recent months. This new version brings improvements to Android Auto, a first use of the OpenSubsonic API, synchronized song lyrics and the ability to customize the home screen....

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

What does

a first use of the OpenSubsonic API

Mean?

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Oh okay, so up until now it just supported SubSonic and now it supports both SubSonic and OpenSubSonic.

As a Navidrome host, will this benefit me?

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I actually looked went down that rabbit hole a little, thanks for the link. Seems most of the commits thus far are from the Navidrome developer and the Symfonium developer.

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I read the whole thread about the initial plan extension versus version number, etcetera, that was really intriguing.

I tried it a few weeks ago and found it to be missing some things I considered vital. Having just played with it again, it's added a few of those things. Sadly no smart playlist support yet though.

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

To add to this list

  1. Smart Playlists. I know it's being added to OpenSubSonic but I would like to see it in Tempo
  2. Ability to rate tracks in the now playing UI
  3. Ability to change the list order of tracks
  4. Support for multiple queues
  5. It says lyric support is added, but where?
  6. Tooltips for all the things. Not only is this imperative for accessibility, but some things are confusing, attempting to hold on them for an explanation would be nice. Like what's the ascending chart thing for?
  7. There's no way to get from Now Playing to an album
  8. Allow users to configure the how much we need to scrobble as my preference is 30 seconds or 30% whichever is lower
  9. Allow users to set where cached/downloaded songs are stored.

@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I can't say for sure, it seems to have had support added in 10.9: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-lrc-support-coming-soong?pid=1340#pid1340

Sorry to bother you, but I do actually have a question.

I created a superuser and a normal user and saved both to the .env file I placed in my /opt/n8n directory alongside the init-data.sh and docker-compose

I then did a pull and then done an up and then I went to log in, but I'm getting this message

Init Problem

There was a problem loading init data:
Unauthorized

What have I done wrong?

sabreW4K3 OP ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I took a break and then did a Google and it turns out that it's this[1] issue. Thank you so so much, you're amazing!

As far as I know they only do two versions, WiFi and PoE. Both can work without connecting to any of their services: https://m.reolink.com/product/reolink-video-doorbell-wifi/

Federation is the future of social media, says Bluesky CEO Jay Graber (www.theverge.com)

Today, I’m talking to Jay Graber, the CEO of Bluesky Social, which is a decentralized competitor to Twitter, er, X. Bluesky actually started inside of what was then known as Twitter — it was a project from then-CEO Jack Dorsey, who spent his days wandering the earth and saying things like Twitter should be a protocol and not...

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Not sure why this was downvoted. The business model of BlueSky is that they're the indexer or whatever they want to call it. Technically it is federation but it's a disingenuous implementation.

I just feel it doesn't make sense to moan unless you have releases you're unable to deploy.

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I don't even think it's that. I think it's simply a case of them becoming complacent and now they're scrambling for excuses. VLC has stood still for a long time. Fan sub groups now recommend MPV on Windows and on Android VLC is showing its age. They speak of not wanting to abandon old users on legacy hardware, but what about old users on modern hardware who have been left feeling abandoned by how buggy the software is? When you dig into things, it doesn't look like anyone is doing VLC full-time and alternative projects are more lucrative and that's fine. Just say that. Even the other day, when they spoke of their new plans, once you got past the headline, all the plans were sane and made perfect sense, some more than others. I think they're just a bit embarrassed.

Out of curiosity, in which ways are telemetry privacy issues and how does Icecat solve them in a way in which NextDNS doesn't?

sabreW4K3 ,
@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

Even without NextDNS, what data is it that's being collected that's so bad?

Every website and app sees your IP address and has done since forever. Intersections like number of tabs, number of web pages, installed add-ons are how features are developed and resources assigned.

You can turn off the sponsored links.

Technical information is again, good housekeeping.

Did you ever watch House MD? Remember how he used to say everybody lies and so would look for hard evidence? That's telemetry. They need to know what's happening in order to make the best browser possible, because the alternative is just doing what the people who shout the loudest want and that didn't work out too well for them.

To be honest, I find your standpoint immature, naive, ignorant and selfish. But there's clearly forks that cater to your mindset, so enjoy them.

Privacy is great and we all make sacrifices to achieve it. But there's privacy and there's malicious paranoia.

Let's look at Mozilla and Firefox. Once upon a time they were doing well, really well in fact, to the point that they toppled a hegemon. They were a breath of fresh air in a formerly Internet Explorer world.

However things didn't last. A new competitor came forward and abused its new monopoly to get skin in the game, but for the most part actually made a better browser.

Mozilla asked its fanbase what it should do and a vocal minority spoke up. Mozilla focused on those things and people left for what had become a better browser.

Mozilla looked at how the competitor improved and realised the value of data driving decisions, they had said data as opt-in and hardly anyone opted in. Though this is something commonly known. Eventually Mozilla, in order to stay competitive, made it opt out and as a result, with tonnes more data and a better understanding, started making changes that improved Firefox and once more made it competitive.

Unfortunately for Mozilla, there are some organizations that abuse telemetry and so the connotations are of a giant privacy nightmare. Mozilla enables users to see all the data that is sent, but connotations are hard to overcome.

Now with all that in mind, Mozilla's the last bastion of freedom. It's in charge of the last non Google or Apple major rendering engine and some of the same people that acknowledge its vitally important, are unwilling to do their part to ensure its survival.

The goal of Mozilla is a free Internet and in order to provide that, they need an important browser. But there are people that refuse to contribute their telemetry, so said rendering engine doesn't register. The browser can't improve, it looks like they're not using the rendering engine and they don't donate. They're essentially just being leeches, but they're protecting their privacy while sacrificing everyone else's.

It's like shooting everyone that walks on your road in order to protect your family.

@sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al avatar

I hear and understand you. There's absolutely no way you should just blindly accept Telemetry. But there are companies that deserve your faith until they fuck up. Mozilla is one of them. It's also worth noting that they only keep Telemetry data for 1 year: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/telemetry-clientid#:~:text=Firefox%20collects%20telemetry%20data%20by,interaction%20data%20and%20technical%20data.

Something like multi-library support for self-hosted music? Trying to recreate iPod feel

I've been self-hosting my music in Navidrome for the last 3 or 4 years and in general I've been very satisfied. Before that I was using an old iPod. The key difference I haven't been able to recreate in Navidrome is a feeling of my own curated library where I scroll through and recognize all the artists....

Why do you host FreshRSS and MiniFlux if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you. I'm looking at sorting an aggregator out and am leaning towards Miniflux

I really like the ReadYou overall design, but felt the lack of images in the main feed. Is that an option or is it just a thing?
