Yeah the nodered flow on the target device is for handling shutdown(sleep) and status reporting back to HomeAssistant, so in HA the computer is a simple switch with on/off states

Oh neat!
I made a custom solution for WOL and remote shutdown using nodered and MQTT, but this is so cleaner than maintaining a custom solution
This happens when a small project has 12 developers each scratching their own itch in their own time, not a team of 120 developers getting paid to work on the same itch 8 hours a day.
In the case of FreeCAD they’re actually starting to reign in and focus more now, and there are more contributors.
I hope a previously suggested goal of improving KDE for organizations makes a comeback. It was basically all about all the things a business/organisation would need to roll out a fleet of KDE computers, mainly tools for remote / centralised management by an IT department.
In the wake of Windows’s recent and continued trend, more and more public institutions, universities, government etc should be looking at switching away from Windows. There’s also EUs recent Digital Sovereignty Initiative.
German state Schleswig-Holstein is already swapping 30k computers to Linux
*Happy noises* :)
And I see there’s a plugin for cross-linking between documents! More happy noises :)
And a nightly flatpak build :) Thanks for making it so easy to try out!
directly reflected on your system in the hierarchy of your KleverNotes storage folders.
This is a big deal. Joplin is great, but its database structure is horrible for interoperability.
Hopefully Klevernotes will also be more snappy and “native feeling”. Joplin being Electron can be a bit sluggish sometimes ( which is mildly infuriating given that the database structure was chosen over plain files due to “performance”).
That said, it be nice if Klevernotes was a WYSIWIG editor. There really are a lot of dual-view markdown editors with a preview. For generel notes / productivity I find the dual view distracting, but need the preview for images etc
This sounds like a FOSS utopian future :)
There’s a few projects that have started towards this path with single-click deployable apps, you could even say HomeAssistant OS does this to some extent my managing the services for you.
I believe one of the biggest hurdle for a “self hosting appliance” is resilience to hardware failure. Noone wants to loose decades of family photos or legal documents due to a SSD going bad , or the cat spilling water on their “hosting box”. So automated reliable off-site backups and recovery procedures for both data and configs is key.
Databox from BBC / Nottingham University is also a very interesting concept worth looking in to:
A platform for managing secure access to data and enabling authorised third parties to provide the owner authenticated control and accountability.
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it
Dogs really are the best people
I third Proxmix
I run most stuff as Docker images inside a VM, but also a few services as LXC containers and some non-docker stuff in other VMs
One way is to make a new “entity”, that’s not actually linked to your previous temperature sensor. I’m not familiar with how to tie them together in a “device” like how ZigBee2mqtt auto discovery does.
So just add a new “sensor”/“entity”
- name: "Sala_battery"
unique_id: "temp_sala_battery"
state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/temp_sala"
value_template: "{{ value_json.battery }}"
unit_of_measurement: "%"
Use MQTT Explorer to listen to your ZigBee2mqtt broker topic “zigbee2mqtt/temp_sala” to get the exact field name (battery, battery_state or some such)
Woohoo, so glad to see some of these fixes getting backported to 5.27
Shift+dragging windows to custom-tile them now works even if you’ve set your keyboard to do something exotic like emulate the Caps Lock key when pressing both Shift keys together
But who’s this real life space bar heater ? :D
+2 for KDE Connect, the integration is amazing. I’ve used it on KDE and Gnome (gsconnect), all works very well
How much of this is Spotify’s fault and how much is the major record labels sitting between Spotify and the individual artists?
And is there a better place for us consumers to go and vote with our wallet? Ideally somewhere that isn’t one of the 5 major tech giants that control everything
Like taiyang said, SteamOS is based on Arch which is super not newbie friendly, but the desktop modes “desktop environment” is KDE which available on pretty much any Linux distro, including beginner friendly ones like (K)Ubuntu and Fedora (although I’m not sure how beginner friendly Fedora is, regarding proprietary drivers and codecs)
Another good option on Windows is PDF XChange Editor, though I’m using an old version so I can’t vouch for how much or little enshitification has happened in newer versions
I did this too :D I used to have 20 pairs of non-identical black socks, which made matching hard and it felt wrong to wear socks of slightly different type or size. Much easier now
I keep getting socks for Christmas though, which I never wear cause they’d mess up the simplicity
2nd for Kobo! It’s a good device, supports more standards, and doesn’t fund any of the Too Big Tech Giants
+1 for SSH and FileZilla (or WinSCP)
Maybe you can install Arch in Distrobox, then install Merkuro in your arch container?
