  • I also have a VPN set up to my home network that I can connect to with my mobile devices. once connected I use the HA mobile app pathed to my local HA server IP. I don’t use HA cloud or any other cloud service. It works well for me, I obviously can’t get notification on the mobile when not connected but I have not had a need yet. If/When I'm do want notifications I would most likely explore, e-mail, e-mail to SMS, SMS API or something that won’t involve external servers. I would not want to send sensitive info via SMS but a shot alert that said there is something to look at like “HA Alert: Motion detected cam 1” or such would be fine.

  • I just got a Filohome (tuya) dual switch and used tuya-cloud cutter put ESPHome on it. When setup with ESPhome it will still work even if HA is unreachable ok WiFi is down. I never even downloaded their app, made an account, or signed in.

    Note for anyone trying to do the same, the Filohome triple switch device in tuya-cloudcutter will work to load the initial boot firmware but you need to change the yaml config when you install ESPHome. If anyone wants the yaml file let me know.

  • I get this too, just for the developers FYI, not that I’m expecting anyone to fix a safari bug just to let you know of another side effect;

    If you in a community and click on a post that has the hidden banner ad bug then when you click back to the post list you can’t scroll up or down. If you do the swipe right and pull down to show the offending ad and close it then you can scroll through the posts again.

  • “ In June 2023, the Chrome Web Store will no longer allow Manifest V2 items to be published with visibility set to Public. All existing Manifest V2 items with visibility set to Public at that time will have their visibility changed to Unlisted. In January 2024, following the expiration of the Manifest V2 enterprise policy, the Chrome Web Store will remove all remaining Manifest V2 items from the store. “

    Looks like existing ones might still work until January?

  • FireDragon (my understanding is that FireDragon is built from LibeWolf) and LireWolf is a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. LibreWolf (and FireDragon I assume) is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements.

    I don’t use either, I use just firefox so maybe a user of FireDragon could give you more.

    Edit: Take a look at Jao’s post again, he updated it with more info on FireDragon.

  • Here’s the TLDR version:

    • Most users (at least in my observation, in the instances and communities i’m on) on Lemmy are privacy minded, open source fans, linux enthusiasts , etc.
    • Google is evil and will suck up any data they can find on you and sell it to anyone that will give them a buck. Lemmy users don’t like that. (me either)
    • Google also makes a lot of money selling ads that are crafted for your likes based on the data they steal from you. Lemmy users also don’t like that (me either).
    • Ad blockers will hamper some (not much) of google’s ad revenue so they don’t like them. many users use Ad Blockers ( I use an ad blocking DNS server)
    • Recently Google announced that their Chrome browser would not allow ad-blockers because it’s changing the functionality that ad-blockers use (Google sucks, don’t use Google stuff)

    So that is why it’s showing up an Lemmy a lot right now.
