Mods can we have a rule against these posts please

Are these the same people that refused to suspend Kiwi Farms and 8chan?

I think your URL to the github is a hyperlink back to this post…

I love the description.

Hey everyone, so you just finished setting up the *Arr stack and your dashboards lookin crisp. But you look at your htop and see… unused RAM. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?

Neat!

Nextcloud is federated?

I’ve tuned into this a few times and it’s always been 100% completely unhinged. Love it.

That’s better put than I did 😂

Ed frequently comes off like a guy ranting outside the gas station but goddamn is it hard to find an issue with with his conclusions.

Nothing wrong with Ubuntu, but it’s interface is definitely geared more towards Mac folks.

My recommendation for someone making the jump to full time Linux is Fedora Kinoite. It’s “immutable” meaning impossible to break, and uses KDE Plasma, which is like the modern Windows you’ve always wanted.

Again nothing wrong with Ubuntu, it’s great and will run on the hardware you mentioned, but if you are someone who wants to tweak settings without fear of breaking something somewhere else, I really recommend Kinoite.

Yeah but until two months ago Spotify was 24kbps

I wonder why Spotify and not YouTube Music, Tidal or Apple Music all of which are higher quality.

Yeah that’s probably the simplest way!

Helpful! Thank you I will look into it.

If they don’t have power, they drop from the network or mesh.

That’s the problem, they don’t drop, the entity remains in a zombie state. Is there really no way to test if a device is still connected or not?

EDIT: Or just manually set an entity to “off”?

Move over FeRAM

This is it exactly.

“But how can we know if it’s a bot?”

We probably can’t based on a single comment or post, which is why rules need to be constructed around maintaining a level of effort and quality.

The right tool for the right job… LLMs can’t do a lot, and can make a lot of things worse when misapplied, but that doesn’t mean the technology is wholly useless.

This only applies if you use their bridge and the bridge is connected to the internet. If you do what I said in my comment (zigbee2mqtt addon with dongle) then there is no path for them to collect. The Zigbee2Mqtt addon allows for firmware updates.

I found that Phillips Hue bulbs works great with the Zigbee2Mqtt addon (and poorly/not at all with ZHA integration) and the $25 Sonoff dongle. Home Assistant sells their own dongle which I would imagine works even better too.

Hue bulbs are more expensive than most, but people seem to say they have the best color consistency.

If you want to stick with Wifi you could probably just hook up Tasmota plugs to your existing lamps.
