This is so cool, first MQTT-based sensor I’ve set up. Already had a broker set up with HA, but how can HA automatically discover which topic to listen to, know the vendor name and how to interpret all the data?
Interesting, so I guess those API-calls are just fetching the cached calendar on my HA Yellow. Wonder why it’s so slow, but I guess there’s not much to do about that then. :(
Not exactly. My main use-case here is for my girlfriend and me to see each both of our calendars in one place, and HA had support for it and is a web portal we both have access to. To do automations on them is secondary.
Currently, whenever I look at the calendar control panel it will load for a bit while pulling all the calendars, and sometimes timeout and not show anything. I believe this to be because it’s pulling from Fastmail / iCloud everytime and might be rate limited or just have a poor connection, this wouldn’t be an issue if the calendars were stored on the instance itself because then it would only miss the latest entries.
The idea that maybe I can self-host an app that does it is that if HA can’t do the caching, then maybe this self-hosted app can and it wouldn’t matter that HA fetches it remotely each time since the remote is on the same local network. Having them as separate calendars is still desirable since that gives some additional information.
They already have something kinda like this. All public wifis require that you sign in with phone number and SMS-verification. It might not be as air-tight as whatever the article is about (like a chad I only read headlines), but in practice it seems pretty darn tight IMO.
Is immich in a usable state yet? I was looking for a self-hosted image service a while back, but eventually I just went with pigallery2 mostly due to the extremely simple file storage (just point to a folder and you’re good to go), but I do miss being able to manage images/albums from the website and having a more mobile friendly version. I kind of avoided immich due to the repo saying it’s under very active development (#scary).
It’s fairly new I think. I ran into it first time a week or two ago when going into a test account I haven’t used for a while.
Shame really, having at least two users is very useful when building bots. Testing user-specific interactions and such.
IMO Discord is the best platform for this right now, which is unfortunate. The little I’ve tried Matrix has not been very impressive (single chatrooms, slow, bad self-hosting experience IMO), IRC is a bit better (though very dated in many regards, esp. user management) but still doesn’t have the categories/channels that make discord nice. And most other chats are proprietary with discord just being the best one.
Which one would you like them to use?
the biggest selling point for me is that I’ll have a mounted folder or two, a shell script for creating the container, and then if I want to move the service to a new computer I just move these files/folders and run the script. it’s awesome. the initial setup is also a lot easier because all dependencies and stuff are bundled with the app.
in short, it’s basically the exe-file of the server world
runs everything as root (not many well built images with proper useranagement it seems)
that’s true I guess, but for the most part shit’s stuck inside the container anyway so how much does it really matter?
you cannot really know which stuff is in the images: you must trust who built it
you kinda can, reading a Dockerfile is pretty much like reading a very basic shell script for the most part. regardless, I do trust most creators of images I use. most of the images I have running are either created by the people who made the app, or official docker images. if I trust them enough to run their apps, why wouldn’t I trust their images?
lots of mess in the system (mounts, fake networks, rules…)
that’s sort of the point, isn’t it? stuff is isolated
You won’t be able to catch one on camera.
I get the same all the time. OP reminded me to check today and Jetbrains toolbox had cached a lot of downloads that took up 42 GB in total. yarn folder with 2.3 GB. bazel folder with 15 GB (apparently used for building Anki),7 GB paru clones.
All in all it added up to 82 GB.
I’m on arch, which I consider one of the larger distros, where most such configuration is very simple. Not sure what rolling mesa is. I probably wouldn’t recommend Ubuntu to anyone who is against using Snap, but there are many distros to choose from if you want KDE as well? It’s more a question of why people would go for Hannah Montana Linux (figuratively speaking, some very niche distro).
But to respond to your core point, sure. If you do have a lot of customization needs for whatever reason, then by all means. (I still don’t get it)
I generally don’t understand why people go for the smaller ones at all. I guess it’s good that someone does to prevent the whole scene being dominated by a single distro, but with some exceptions (e.g. you hate systemd for some reason and really want systemd-less arch, or you have a super niche preferences). For 99% of distros it makes very little difference which one you use, except that you’ll have fewer resources at your disposal (fewer packages, fewer stack overflow threads, fewer everything).
If a directory has multiple words in it I usually do kebab case: i-like-mine-in-a-way-i-can-read-them-properly. Both easier to read and type than pascal case.
For more complex filenames I use a combination of kebab-case and snake_case, where the underscore separates portions of the file name and kebab-case the parts of those portions. E.g. movie-title_release-date-or-year_technical-specifications.mp4
Reasonable and sane behavior of cd
. Just get into the habit of always using lower case names for files and directories, that’s how our forefathers did it.
For private use? Hot take, but Arch. It’s easy to maintain and not easy to break at all. I think I spend zero time on maintenance other than running package updates. I only reinstall when I get a new computer.
(I say for private use only because you’ll be getting weird looks from people if you use arch on a server in a professional setting, and it might break if you try to update it after five years of not doing it since there aren’t any “releases” to group big changes - in practice I run arch on my home server too with no issues)
