Oh no I was so looking forward to just a little bit of hearing loss to finally stop hearing all these noises around me :-(

Aren't all Hue bulbs Zigbee? They have some WiFi or bluetooth models now I believe but afaik all of them support Zigbee with a bridge.

Found the new thing, looks interesting and will give it a try! Would it be possible to use SSO with a Lemmy account from programming.dev? Sure that would help adoption/usage and additionally support 2FA automatically.

Edit: I see it supports 2FA already in settings. If not possible to SSO with Lemmy then it might be nice to recommend 2FA in the signup flow.

"The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!"

It's definitely the way to go, and the maintenance is easy. You do need to replace the coil every now and then though FYI.

What a hilarious oversight with that experiment lol! He must have felt stupid when it was pointed out to him.

If you want to simplify the maintenance burden of nagios-like setups, look into OMD by CheckMK.

Those are definitely all valid points, though I feel a bit of UI work making it abundantly clear that it's not encrypted in case of SMS and an option perhaps to fully disable SMS in settings if you really don't want it would have helped further adoption. I feel like they are optimizing for a rather small subset of users and thereby hurting the rest.

They won't. Most people just don't care at all unfortunately :(

While I still use and sort of like Signal, I feel that dropping SMS support was the wrong choice and I don't like the direction they are going. They are also against federation which I also don't like. I've stopped recommending Signal to people.

Oh I definitely agree. But still; when I'm running Windows the filesystem is very low on my list of annoyances.

You'd still be running Windows though so why bother

Well it's not 2024 yet.

Having been there; see if you can get a diagnosis. The medication is way cheaper and allowed me to stop self medicating completely, which has all sorts of other benefits.

As it's kind of implied at this point I thought I'd leave it out for once ;-)

But yes I do use Arch, btw.

Might want to look into Linux :-)

You'd need a way to run HomeAssistant and some interface to talk Zigbee, like the Conbee 2 or the SkyConnect mentioned here. I was looking into purchasing the SkyConnect last week after hearing about this Philips Hue crap but am not convinced it's the way to go, I found several reports of reduced range with SkyConnect compared to the Conbee. See for example https://community.home-assistant.io/t/conbee-ii-vs-skyconnect-performance/545759/2 or https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/86231. Personally waiting a bit before I purchase either option as I have a hub that works now, but leaning towards the Conbee2 at the moment.

There's plenty of small cases or even 3D printable stuff available to put them in a nice enclosure. You could also buy something with an enclosure included, like the atom lite which I got some time ago as a cheap bluetooth proxy; https://shop.m5stack.com/products/atom-lite-esp32-development-kit

I have a lot of ESPs around the house but they are all in enclosures.

Well you could, it's just the usual pros and cons. How will you get momentum and community around the fork and how will you get a sufficient amount of instances to switch to a fork to have any impact. Not sure we're at that point yet.

Edit; checked the PR you referenced and it's just a stylistic issue apparently. While a bit pedantic imho, I think a fork reaction to this is overblown. It was merged later in another PR; https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/2032
