Trying to build a Thread network today is a waste of money, sadly. There’s not enough competition there and prices are much worse than Zigbee,

Nope, OP wants a bulb with temperature and brightness controls. A smart switch won’t do it.

You’ll really thank yourself if you leave the Apple ecosystem ASAP. You’ll very quickly realise you’ve been virtually jailed and manipulated into spending too much for incredibly restricted technology.

Anyone with Nextcloud Memories setup? I’ve read it’s the only one that still respects a sane files and folders setup, whereas the other options basically force you to forever use their database-based system and files are terribly organized, so you are forced to use their interface.

Woah, I had to do that weird textfile trick on every single computer I installed for all my family members for years until the first Debian KDE with Wayland session (was it 12?)

IMO Wayland surpassed X11 a long time ago… As it doesn’t shit in the pants with tearing on video play or touchscreens with multi-screen.

That sounds like a very country-specific fact and I am not sure poster talked about a specific country.

Because nano has unacceptable key combos, and no support for mouse. micro has sensible key combos, good syntax highlighting and supports mouse perfectly fine.

Delete nano already.

Let’s make micro the standard!!

Entities I strongly recommend naming them like this:

{location}_{type}

For example

main_bedroom_temperature

This way if you change devices, you can swap entity names and everything works. Also YAML code is much easier to read and write.

Devices? That’s more difficult to name, but also way less important, IMO. Usually I try to follow the same scheme as for entities, but sometimes I just prefer something else, like the actual brand, date of install…

PoE implies Power Over Ethernet. It just implies it gets power from an Ethernet cable. It doesn’t imply connection to the wider Internet.

My message to Telegram CEO: Open source your shit and we’ll talk then about freedom and whatever marketing campaing you are on right now. Bye.

OuterTune, F-Droid.

Modern dishwashers do this. This is done to save energy. In the old days, dishwashers just heated stuff really hot to force evaporation of surface water.

Modern dishwashers can do this too, but there is an option to just open the door and let them dry naturally. This is a longer process, but if you do like me and program it at midnight… Then it has plenty of time to dry up fine.

Why would you do that? We should all keep on seeding as long as possible.

Huge warning about XMPP:

If you encrypt with OMEMO (which seems to be the only accepted encryption nowadays), forget about being able to sync your messages to a new client. Forget about being able to try another client. That is, unless you want to lose all of your message history.

When I found this out while installing another distro… It made me so angry I literally stopped using it. I recommend Delta Chat, Matrix and Signal nowadays.

Is there a way one could load this up as a Nextcloud app, or something?

Every GNOME install tutorial:

please install this 3rd party application to install even more 3rd party extensions, otherwise your default experience will be shit.

Meanwhile KDE:

here you go, everything you need is here. Want more? Want less? Just touch me and find out, I can make your dreams come true, baby.

Come on, Zuckerberg, do what you said you’d do. Leave the EU. COME ON!! DO IT!!!

Also, Apple, you said you also wanted to leave because of the EU, right? DO IT!!!

Why are you still here?? Oh, turns out you can still make a fucking ton of money, huh? Also, if you left the EU, it would show the world WE DON’T NEED YOU. YOU SERVE NO PURPOSE, BUT TO MANIPULATE AND EXTORT FOR PROFIT.
