Does this speaker require nabu casa cloud stuff?

The media player platform is "nabu" and a ton of things based on that. If nabu isn't a requirement then maybe I will rebase by own spin on them (using an AV receiver with RCA cables instead of built in speakers) and see if it improves it is some way!

It will die when there is an alternative app that competes with marketplace. That + messenger keep most people there. Signal (or whatsapp which while meta, isn't tied to fb account)'already can replace messenger.

That is simply the truth. Here is Belgium we have an app called 2dehands which is very prolific and have a way better interface and experience than marketplace (even though it is nowhere near perfect or great).

Marketplace is definitely completely secondary to 2dehands in the Flemish part. Brussels still uses marketplace a lot, but literally all marketplace needs in order to slowly die off is competition but the 2nd hand market is not a lucrative app space with no real funding opportunities outside of data sale so nobody does it.

Is that a 1zpresso Q2 clone?? https://www.espressoclubegypt.com/uploads/product/source/VN8I-156756.jpeg

I have never seen that before. They stopped selling the original Q2 at 1zpresso because they have a folding handle now. Cool! Maybe they should have kept the numbered plate from 1zpresso to track grind size though 😅

Interesting thoughts in this thread.

I simply switched to having an unencrypted boot partition with the automount key on a flash drive. After it boots the server, just remove the whole boot partition. Physical separation is much much more powerful for smash and grabs, petty seizures, and evil maid than TPMs.

The flash drive is stored securely when I am in the area. Flash drive can go in the machine if I am away for a while or have something critical.

I go a step further and have password-only data drive description so I have to ssh in to set up the data drives again, but the principle would be the same.

Yeah I played it halfway and it didn't grip me like New Vegas and KOTOR2 did. The story just seemed pretty convoluted and meandering.

Gameplay was about as fun as NV though!

Opensuse unironically has some of the best OS branding and wallpapers. I like that little chameleon.

I use bazzite now but I liked all of the visuals of opensuse Kalpa better!

Honestly AI bidet weighing your shit and analyzing the consistency to indicate possible health problems would not be a horrible use for it. A shit ton of bodily functions rely on gut flora. Much more than previously thought.

In the *arr suite, bazarr has a plugin called Subgen which you can add and you can set it to generate subtitles on your entire library if you want, or only missing subtitles. The sync is spot on compared to 90% of what Opensubtitles delivers. I sometimes re-gen them with this plugin just because opensubtitles is so constantly out of sync (e.g. highly rated subtitles 4 lines will be at breakneck pace and the next 10 will be super slow and then everything is 3 seconds off)

It isn't in-player but it works. The downside is it is a larger model and takes ~20 minutes to generate a movie length of subtitles.

Most of what you see on charcoal filters are literally just dust and water.

Plus, nobody actually keeps up with filter maintenance. Charcoal filters sitting in free air are horrible for this. Charcoal filters have a saturation time as a function of mass

I was looking into fiber laser safety for ABS vaporization for my company and came across a few studies (can't find right now).

Activated charcoal filters in free air become saturated after like a week or so of use just because of the fact that they absorb both the tiny amount of unwanted compounds along with massive amounts of common air particles. You really need an enclosed container with butterfly valves like the Weller units https://www.weller-tools.com/us/en/filtration/products/solder-fumes with heavy carbon filters along with other absorbers in order to not completely saturate.

After the first week, the "solder fume extractor" filters are literally just collecting dust. Your charcoal filter looks exactly like my mesh computer dust filter in the picture as far as what it caught.

Other opinion: I used that one for a few years and then it became unbootable, forever loading the login page with not an error in the logs (after multiple times of having to diagnose update failures in the past).

I found out that I personally didn't need nextcloud after being completely unable to use it for months

Hardware projects. Sadly, a lot of them are 90% or more done but never finished due to me not having access to my 3d printer anymore for another 6 months.

• I made a smart dumb doorbell (a simple doorbell that sends a phone notification and plays a sound through speakers using ESPhome and home assistant with a battery that lasts many months). I couldn't find anything like it that wasn't point-to-point since we live in our shed right now. Very cheap to make too. Like 25€ or less in total. https://github.com/JustEnoughDucks/SmartDumbDoorbell/tree/main
• My fully custom flight stick for space simulators https://github.com/JustEnoughDucks/LibreMiG-S which I stopped when we moved and started our renovation. We are almost to the point where I can set the 3D printer back up and iterate the housing the last time. My favorite but took a ton of time and was pretty frustrating sometimes.
• A HomeAssistant media player and voice assistant satellite. It plays through a 90s Yamaha AV receiver and controls it with and IR LED. Needed also for my doorbell https://codeberg.org/JustEnoughDucks/S3-DAC-INTCONN
• my newest project: a fitness tracker without a screen. It tracks all the essential biometrics like heart rate, spo2, activity, and sleep and that is it. No stupid SaaS or enshittificstion bullshit. It doesn't have gps because if I need that, i will just use my phone. I just finished designing the development board for it. https://codeberg.org/JustEnoughDucks/Essence-Track-DB

same with antennapod

I have tried openSUSE Kalpa for a few months and that would literally only boot 50-60% of the time due to not being able to mount volumes for some random unlogged reason, also RPM-ostree is better than the suse tool for it (from a layman's perspective) and saving 10 or so system snapshots doesn't make sense for my usecase because I would only notice something wrong from a bad update immediately or 4 months down the road lol.

Steam being natively installed is a big one too because flatpak steam is simply riddled with bugs and problems. I couldn't even launch any game at all until I found a command buried not in opensuse's documentation but another. I think I ran into 4-5 major issues before they were all found out via the web. Definitely not an experience most people would want.

Otherwise it is about the same except openSUSE had a high rate of updates silently failing with 2 RPM packages installed where bazzite has never failed.

Then you deal with it when you get back. Easy as that. If it is non-critical enough to turn off when you leave the house, then it is non-critical enough fix it later when you have time. Fixing software/bios/program errors are not time-sensitive.

Hardware now is EXTREMELY safe and it has to be tested against electrical surges, ESD events, and depending in the device, different temps in order to get CE conformity and UL ratings. There is a near-zero chance that it would cause a fire or something critical, especiallly because home servers typically are not under load most of the time.

Not if you play rocket league lol. Bazzite has an inexplicable bug where rocket league specifically only uses 40% of your GPU and 25% CPU regardless of any graphics settings or launch options. With occasional drops to 7-10fps.

Lol docker is literally the easiest and most user-friendly server program administration method... It is literally one user-readable configuration file and everything is automatic.

Vm's are more complicated and have you even tried managing many services on bare metal with conflicting libraries, database versions, etc...? That is truly arcane arts of programming scripts.

I'll be honest. It was a hell of a time getting things working correctly due to the lack of documentation, but now I have everything except scanning and document signing working which I rarely use anyway. (Rocket league runs fine, just with half the fps I should be getting) I literally don't have to touch anything anymore, it will just keep itself updated and working completely hands-off. That is what I want out of a system now that tweaking and debugging is a distraction from my other hobbies rather than a hobby itself.

The biggest feature that I like is Linux without having any manual update intervention at all. It all just runs and updates itself and works.

If something goes wrong in my software, I can uninstall and reinstall the flatpak delete remaining files, and reinstall with 3 clicks instead of having to search for where the hell this specific program decided to stash its files and configs and cache on my system like I had to with a traditional system. It takes the recurring annoyances out and trades them with 1-time annoyances.

I am not talking about federated git repos. You are right, that is a huge undertaking with many issues to overcome.

I am simply talking about dev's willingness to work only within X Y or Z website's ecosystem even if another project they want to contribute to exists on another ecosystem (for example KiCAD which exists on their own gitlab instance and needs a separate account or gadgetbridge on Codeberg). It is enough to stop many people from contributing.

I can attest to this. I daily drive bazzite exclusively now.

Rocket league specifically only uses 40% of the GPU and 25% CPU and refuses to use any more at all. It is only a bazzite problem. Other distros are completely fine and other bazzite users have reported the same thing, regardless of settings, launch options, etc...

It is hell when trying to do embedded firmware development. Pretty much everything has to be done through distrobox related to it because JLink needs to be accessible by NRF connect which has to be accessible by VSCode, etc... vscode and oss versions simply don't work if you have to install more than the very basic UI extensions.

Plus then you have udev rules that you have to manually place in the read only file system (recommended by a Bazzite maintainer on their discord) which they explicitly tell you never to do in the docs. There is absolutely nothing regarding JLink (the most widely used industry flashing tool for ARM) in any universalblue docs, even the bluefin and aurora versions "for developers".

Also, there is absolutely no known way to handle eID credentials, crypto keys, etc in order to digitally sign documents. Also key management and access simply does not work at all in flatpak.

Network scanning simply doesn't work at all (yes, saned is set up). It is completely nonfunctional, it can't discover anything.

Outside of those cases though, it works fine. Themes work, font installation works as expected: the firewall, KiCAD, freeCAD work, browsers, media players, etc... All work fine. Distrobox, while start menu applications via distrobox sometimes simply don't start, they often work fine. However, I haven't had to worry about updating my system in 4 months because updates are in the background and completely seamless and not a single thing breaks during updates which by itself is the reason I switched from arch.

(Arch never became unbootable or seriously broken in 8 years, but I would have update problems and have to search for forum solutions to make a full update work every month or two)

I really don't understand it.

It is 5 minutes to create an account and you can even use the same SSH key everywhere technically.

Then just put a bit config per website and it literally requires nearly 0 additional work ever. You can commit to all the different places practically simultaneously.

I guess you have to go to different websites for issues and I don't know if codeberg specifically has CI/CD tools, but I don't get why devs refuse to work on things outside github.
