In terms of the software compatibility, even if you dual boot Windows, always ask for Linux-compatible software.

unknowing8343 ,

For a correct metric one must multiply the time since last update by the number of open issues

unknowing8343 ,

Also, test your automations! Specially those critical. It's very essy, you can virtually trigger them.

unknowing8343 ,

Parallel stuff is also used for... Well, some sequences you want to run in parallel.

unknowing8343 ,

Let's say you have 2 scripts that do some stuff:

  • script A: turns a light pink for 20 seconds and then through a smart speaker you can hear 30 seconds of La Macarena.
  • script B: send 25 notifications to your phone, spaced by 30 seconds, in which each notification is a different letter of an encrypted message.

If you want those things to happen independently you must parallelize them.

So think about an automation that at a certain point you want to launch multiple scripts. I'd always parallelize, even if initially these scripts were "instantaneous", because you might change these and add more complexities in the future.

AI in web search is not going anywhere. Deal with it.

This force is unstoppable, whether you like it or not. So you better spend your time adapting.

I use ZHA. As I have a Pi, I prefer the less addons the better, and there are ZHA devices for everything. It simply narrows down the spectrum, but overtime it's coming closer and closer to Z2M in terms of device support and features... So...

There is also Matter and Thread on the horizon, so I wouldn't bother complicating things further.

unknowing8343 ,

Also bought an ESP and some components but haven't yet done anything.

Just make sure you have a prototyping board.

I hate soldering, so I will only cross that road once I have a very solid project and idea.

unknowing8343 ,

I don't know if Merkuro Calendar has been ported to Windows yet

unknowing8343 OP ,

I can't seem to be able to search for volumes, just create them?

unknowing8343 ,

There are Telegram ads?

Thinking of building a database of "stuff" that I have at home + some other family households. Multiple accounts with private and shared inventories.

The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that "John has an old laptop collecting dust" or "Mary has this specific tool that I'd love to use for my current project"....

unknowing8343 OP ,

Oh, wow, I do have HAOS on my Pi so this one is a strong strong candidate.

unknowing8343 ,

Kobo is open source? I don't think so.

unknowing8343 ,

Are those shortcut buttons? How?m

unknowing8343 ,

No, a Pi-Hole would not work in this case, as suggestions are not "ads", technically.

They probably did that by IP. Keep in mind that Google is an ad-company that makes money by profiling and Amazon wants you to buy their stuff. Of course Amazon gets info from Google to make more money out of you.

There might be a way to block Amazon recommendations, tho. Maybe even something officially supported, some kind of toggle in your profile config.

Also, don't use YouTube directly, use Invidious or Piped, and this particular issue would be gone.

unknowing8343 ,

Consider joining relevant larger communities first, there's probably some VR community out there that probably needs your content. I don't think Lemmy is big enough (yet) for such a niche Samsung Gear VR community, but go for it!!

unknowing8343 ,

Well, it's broken again, then

unknowing8343 ,

IMO, standard Firefox is pretty OK, so I'd rather use that than some weird derivative that has more chances of security issues, breakage, or development halt.

unknowing8343 OP ,

That was an amazing read. Thank you.

What do you say is the use case for separating guest Wi-Fi with the more "private" stuff on your network?

As far as I understand... Basically all communications, even inside a network, are encrypted... So I guess you do that to avoid someone trying to exploit some vulnerability?

unknowing8343 OP ,

It's more like: I know people do this, but I don't, so I wanted to see what was the reasoning behind these things.

unknowing8343 OP ,

Emm... I did, it's this post 😅

Is rpi still the single board go-to?

Hey all, I'm looking to build a couple dashboards out around my house. I've done this before with rokchip boards and they are... fine, but not great. Is rpi the best option right now? Are there alternatives you really like? I'd like to keep it a single board to easily mount behind things where it doesn't take up a lot of...

unknowing8343 ,

IMO there is something magical about having it all running under such a small footprint device, where a simple aluminum case brings it enough cooling.

Obviously if you want to go for huge media consumption or local AI, then it won't be enough, but for running Home Assistant, qBitTorrent, syncthing... You'll be fine and supergreen.

unknowing8343 ,

Your plan sounds like exactly what Piped or Invidious are doing, just that you do want to do it yourself, on your server, so it's worse in terms of privacy.

unknowing8343 ,

That is for waking from sleep, or from shutdown?

unknowing8343 OP ,

Can you turn off the computer with KDE Connect?

unknowing8343 OP ,

As I said... I know of its existance but it seems like distribution channels are non-existant, which makes me precautious about using it.

unknowing8343 OP ,

Looks good, but seems a bit outdated? Are you using it?

LibreY vs SearXNG, which one do you suggest and why?

Hello! Today I learned about the existence of LibreY, and the project seems very interesting. I was wondering, how does it compare with SearXNG? which one is easier to self host, and which one is lighter on resource usage? Which one gets rate-limited less? I'm particolary interested in opinions of people who used both...

unknowing8343 ,

I don't think it makes sense to self-host these services, unless you plan to open it up for everyone.

unknowing8343 ,

The main goal of these projects (SearxNG, Piped, Invidious, Nitter...) is to make it way harder to track users by having thousands of users make requests from one single place. If you host this service just for yourself... you'd get the same tracking as using the service itself.

Self-hosting just for yourself damages the community a bit because your data will not be used to confuse Google and the other guys.

unknowing8343 ,

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

unknowing8343 ,

TIL wow

unknowing8343 ,

I don't use Zigbee2MQTT, I just buy appropiate ZHA hardware to keep things simple.

Addons: qBitTorrent, VS Code, File Browser, Advanced Terminal

Integrations: Google Cloud (Text-to-Speech), Haier hOn, Samsung SmartThings, Tuya.

For a second I thought they were launching their federated lemmy/kbin instance. With different communities, like "support", "bugs", "news"...

Would have been freaking awesome and a great use case for Lemmy and federarion.

Good for them anyway.
