A smart powerplug and/or a fingerbot would solve that problem I guess? But at that point it’s probably cheaper to buy a network connected picture frame.

You could use something like the Toshiba flash air?

Or the tld is .mobi

Systemd timer to poll upower when running on battery power, when battery is at 20%, use either system beep or set system volume and play a sound?

I love all the ideas you have! Explaining how computers work, on a basic technical level, is something everyone should know nowadays.

I would suggest to focus the programming on something small, fun and instantly rewarding. Something like Snake in Pygame is not overly complex and you can take it step by step, so that every student will have something to show at the end, with varying levels of complexity. I would advise against using templates for projects, a lot of courses do but in my opinion it makes it harder for the student to replicate the work on its own later on.

In terms of networking, setting up a small test network with a WEP access point, a WPS access point and a WPA2 access point and letting the students (in groups, probably) try to figure out how to access/crack the passwords for them. (WEP and WPS should be easy, but WPA2 would require the deauthing exploit, which is a tad more complex).

Also the idea of cheap usb drives, which they can put on a live distro (or make it come with one) is a great way to start the lesson. This way they can have a setup that’s detached from the usual limitations school pc’s give. (if that’s still a thing).

Do make sure to teach them the ethics around hacking, cracking and downloading. From what I remember, Germany used to be decently lax on all three, but started to crack down on it in the past 10 years. Teaching responsibility and what the consequences are is very important.

They will probably have domesticated us, instead of them.

There truly are toml

That’s way too far-fetched!

Missing the joke here? We run a 3090 and a 3900x just fine on ArchLinux.

to be fair, the only real reason to wear the same socks is so they feel the same on your feet

that uses mDNS, which in some cases requires your router to be online to be able to resolve it to a ip. If part of your internet disruption was your router going down, it would explain the issue

How is your coordinator linked to your home assistant?

For example if you use Zigbee2MQTT and you have either Zigbee2MQTT or Homeassistant pointing to the internal ip of mosquito (192.168.1.11 for example) and your router goes down (with dhcp), it’s possible it cannot communicate anymore.

This isn’t the case if it’s all running on the same box using localhost as address, running it in a docker network or when you run ZHA however.

Up, since I fill the dishwasher 😅. I have been trying to convince her to get a top tray dishwasher, but for now I’ve not won the battle. Personally I prefer the convenience of not accedentially having a utensil outside the basket and messing with the rotor.

This was one of the earliest discussions I had when I moved in with my partner. She had the utensils spoon - fork - knife and I had knife-fork-spoon. (She won btw)

The biggest feature of Wayland for me is mixed refreshrate monitors works OOB. On X this is a pain to get even remotely working and it’s impossible if your monitors aren’t dividable (120/60 works, 144/60 stutters).

This is from my experience something that is starting to be a way more common issue (high refreshrate laptops with 60 external monitors at businesses or high refreshrate monitor for gaming and a smaller secondary monitor for info lookup/discord).

other than that, Xorg does win the “more stable” prize for me, but if I wanted stability, I should’ve become a carpenter.

It’s quite a bad UX, but generally error 2 from make means the called program resulted into an error.

Usually this is accompanied with another error somewhere up the log. Multiple cores can make this a challenge to scan the log for however, so maybe try compiling without the -j argument, that should get the actual error closer to the end.

From my experience, it’s usually an outdated config for the kernel (like using a config for 5.1 while compiling 6.7) or a missing dependency. However the real error will be somewhere among the logs, who knows, maybe it’s a missing processor instruction (it’s really bad UX).

oof

I use a single gpu that I detach from my host and reattach in a vm when I start the vm (and vice versa). I don’t think windows will enjoy a sudden lack of gpu.
