Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Looking for FOSS server monitoring UIEnglish
9·6 days agoUptime Kuma is sufficient in almost every scenario. If you don’t monitor the additional stats other tools provide they are basically useless anyway.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Outsmarting my lying washing machineEnglish
2·10 days agoIt’s really easy to use. You assign it your smart plug and it’s power consumption sensor (that’s the only requirement). Then you can define thresholds when the automation should trigger and actions that should take place in these events. I send a notification to my phone when the program has finished so I know exactly when I need to go and collect my laundry.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Outsmarting my lying washing machineEnglish
27·10 days agoHave a look here: https://github.com/leofabri/hassio_appliance-status-monitor
This will give you the ability to trigger actions when the machine has started or finished its program with configurable thresholds and much more.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Home Assistant will create a device databaseEnglish
7·10 days agoYou can have a look here: https://zigbee.blakadder.com/ This not the database mentioned here, but a community effort for several systems. HA database has to be better than this to be useful.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•Why is the SLZB Ultima so Cheap? is there a catch?English
1·14 days agoThat depends. If it is an obvious scam (which I have only encountered once in a lot of years) I agree, but otherwise I always try to solve it first. There’s a person on the other end.

1·14 days agoOn AliExpress it can be a little bit more complicated as every seller is different and communication can take some time. But I have to agree that most sellers try to find a good solution. On the other hand the support quality on Amazon has declined dramatically. A few years ago it was almost a “no question asked” service when you contacted Amazon but this has changed. They try to pull every trick - beginning with how hard it is to actually contact a real person.

2·15 days agoThat’s great to hear. I would have thought it would take some seconds to register.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•I accidentally became a FOSS maintainer and all I got was this lousy new perspective on librarianshipEnglish
61·18 days agoWhile they refer to the same book they are not the same editions of this book. Some are hardcover, some are paperback, some are later editions and only some of them are actual duplicates of the same book (just have a look at the different ISBNs).
Sharing the reviews between these different editions might seem logical for some cases, but a reader might also review the actual quality of a specific edition (poor print quality, cheap paper, etc.). Even the contents of books (mostly in scientific literature) may be vastly different between two editions. So sharing the reviews is a dangerous thing to do.
So in your case this is not due to a lack of federation but because these are actually different books and in a few cases duplicates of the same book (someone didn’t check if the book existed in the first place or was unhappy on how it was represented).

3·23 days agoIf you have Google Nest Minis to replace: There is a project on GitHub which plans to replace the main PCB in these devices (Gen 1 and Gen 2) and make them usable e.g. for Home Assistant.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Help with understanding memory usage discrepancyEnglish
6·26 days agoIf that’s the case you should look into your swappiness settings. You can set this to zero meaning the swap will only be used if you’re actually out of memory, but as others have noted that is maybe not a healthy decision…

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data?English
4·1 month agoThat is the cheapest option. Maybe the most convenient or most reliable option, but definitely the cheapest.
I am thankful for any input. Maybe it helps someone else looking for a similar thing.
I think the collaborative part means sending PDFs from user to user and maintaining the ability to edit annotations. That may work for many use cases - a lot of businesses may be fine with that when email is still the communication medium of choice.
That’s not an option unfortunately. The actual use case is a non-profit sports club magazine which needs to be proof read by several people at the same time. There is a fixed release date and only a few days to proof read the PDF before it needs to be sent to print.

But think about it: You could outsource procrastinating to it and just do other things instead - like herding puppies…
