IKEA devices apparently work very well with Aqara
When it comes to zigbee devices, don’t combine the aqara wall switches with large (4 buttons) ikea remotes.
The wall switches tend to execute the commands from the remotes instead of just routing them to the coordinator.
My Zigbee network also improved a lot when I set up some IKEA plugs in the loft.
I have similar experience with the ikea bulbs. More of them I connect, more stable the whole network gets.
It’s just that I rarely see a real person be so confidently wrong.
We’ve already established that language models just make shit up. There is no need to demonstrate. Bad bot!
I host 2 ejabberd servers. One casual, federated, the other one standalone, for work.
For Mastodon, I’m using an Akkoma instance hosted by a frind of mine
Every once in a while I try Matrix, but each time I try to log in, Synapse is is fucked in a different way. I have to scrap it up and start from the ground up some day.
I’m a big fan of Nostr, because of one particular feature - You control your identity without having to selfhost a server. The network seems to be occupied by the christian-carnivore-bitcoin-conservatives so far, therefor it’s pretty bland when it comes to content.
For some special use cases I have Signal, but most of the time, Telegram is the best the average person can do to meet me in the middle.
We hate the AI and proof of work, yet DEMAND someone to moderate our inboxes. For free.
That’s not a slow laptop. I’ve been daily driving worse for years.
To protect the data from random thief just browsing through the files I still use ecryptfs. It only encrypts the home directory, and the keys are derived from my accounts password, so no extra hassle.
The encryption is weak by the current standards, and wouldn’t stop a determined attacker, but it’s 100% better than nothing, and I’ve never noticed any performance problems.
Pidgin was decent, but remember Miranda? The community around it was fantastic. The plugin system was an absolute blast. Not only there were plugins for any communication network you could think of, the UX was fully customizable.
At one point, somebody even bothered to implement the ICQ flash animations. There has not been anything like it ever since.
If a communication software has terms of service, run away!
Gmail offers imap amd smtp access. You have to enable 2FA, and then it will allow you to create account for so called “less secure apps”.
In your place, I’d either continue using gmail directly, or finish the configuration of the self hosted mail server and just use that with any smtp/imap client. I suggest getting a separate domain for testing first, before moving your primary inbox there.
Yes. Screw the small businesses. All that competition is just fraud and burden to the real corporations :D /s
3d printer is subtracted from revenue for tax purposes
That makes sense. Since my profits always oscillated around zero, claiming any expenses had no practical effect.
legitimately running a business, or just trying to save money on their hobby
That’s actually how it started. We’ve installed linux on some old desktop machine with my classmate back in school, set up some services like webhosting, mail, jabber, and started to give access to people for free. No guarantees, no pressure. As we finished school, trying to turn it into a business was a logical next step. It never went big, but we just kept the thing around, bought newer hardware, moved it to a proper housing, did basic maintenance, and years later, here I am owing to the government thanks to my highschool hobby.
Well, I fell into a bracket that’s taxed (it’s not officially called a tax, but that’s what it is) by a certain fixed minimal amount. Thanks to my total revenue being relatively low, it makes an absurd amount percentage-wise.
IRS will audit you, and could deem you a hobby
Are there any negative consequences? I’d prefer to be downgraded to a hobbyist. Instead, the government has increased my taxes to around 70% of my yearly revenue. Social democracy, fuck yeah!
We can tell you probably have an emotion if you use one, we just can’t be sure what emotion. The emoji you type is almost certainly not the one we see.
The usefulnes of a system is often measured by the amount of illegal shit it can handle. Nobody would really use a stick or a fire if it required a law enforcement officer standing behind you the whole time.
On the other hand, Telegram was always intentionally not secure, nor private. So it’s not that thay can’t comply. They just decided not to (as far as we know).

This is not really about moderation. The europeans just want to evasdrop on the russians.

When some internet stranger manage to enrage me more than usual, I sign up for a porn site with their email address.
Who did you piss off lately? :)
I was honestly surprised by win11. The last time I’ve daily driven a windows machine was the dark ages of 8.1. My expectations were pretty low thanks to the hate people spewed about it online.
What I got was a preinstalled SSH client, easy to install SSH server, customizable terminal app with tabs and nice features related to WSL, The WSL itself! Easy to install and switch between different distros, notepad remembers unsaved work, and it finally has tabs! Explorer? Tabs! Media playback? Windows finally got the media control widget, like a normal OS! A lot of small quality of life bits I was used to on my linux desktop. They’re even working on finally deprecating that mess of a control panel!
The only thing that botheres me, is that the UI is clearly being designed by someone with a football field sized monitor. Luckily scaling it back down is still possible. The same thing plagues gnome as well as some commercial prodiucts I use.
if you don’t need to resize it once it’s created
xfs_growfs is a thing. I know nothing about xfs. Is this something I should avoid for some reason?
You, and 62 other people did not read the article.
One could argue the vests are like seat belts in a car. You don’t need them 99.9% of the time.
