This seems very promising

Side note on the site: why some people use sourcehut instead of codeberg or others? It’s less user friendly than sourceforge…

With the prices I saw, just a few prints costs like buying an ender 3 but without the fun of maintenance

it depends what you need it. If you want a “stupid” tube station for local traffic, then you want unmanaged. It needs less power. If you instead want to have multiple VLANs, which are separate virtual networks inside your network, you need managed. Then from the GUI you say “port 8-12 are for VLAN 5 which is 10.0.0.1/8 and does not have internet access, rest is normal LAN”. If then the switch has lots of fast ports, then it needs lots of power to manage the communication, more power means more hot, and more fans.

I like to use hmailserver just because it’s very easy to set. But being discontinued i keep it inaccessible from outside the network.

My ender wasn’t communicating with a cable modded like that

Seems weird that according to telemetry only 25 people in the world were using that, while the GitHub repository linked in the other comment has 56 stars and 21 forks 75 issues and 200 pull requests. If it was true, those 25 users are the most passionate in the world.

Same if watching on the ha forums, lots of topics for something used only by 25 people in the world.

Could it be that, because asterisk is difficult to install, only pro users installed that, and pro users always disable telemetry?

Edit: changed metrics for GitHub, indeed stars and forks are pointless numbers, went to watch my GitHub account and saw that completely useless repositories of mine had stars or forks

Seems pushing a crypto agenda.

Hosting a Bitcoin node is literally the last thing I would host. Almost 600 gb of garbage transactions so you can check the 500 bytes of your own transactions without relying on external services?

Ahhh, subscription for being integrated in a car. While instead with home assistant you could just say hey [assistant] open the door

Too bad they have a monopoly in the NA market

Just a day after I bought a load of Shelly flood sensors…

Typical Autodesk at work. First lure everyone and make the competition disappear as you can’t beat free. Now that everyone is used to this program and the competition is behind because they didn’t had a massive development budget, they can start to charge the insane prices

It might depend on how you’re taking off the prints from the plate

Ah yes best possibile experience is this: (from the ars Technica article about it)

“Sadly, this app now displays advertisement at the very top and I cannot find a way to disable it,” writes one Play Store reviewer (Google doesn’t provide links to reviews). “This is very disturbing and on top of it, it moves my garage opening button out of the visible part of the screen. So to use it I now have to first look at the ads, then scroll down and hope to find my button.”

This decision was made so that we can continue to provide the best possible experience

The best possibile experience is having a single app that can do the whole house, not a broken proprietary app that occupies 200 mb of space on the phone and that takes 5 seconds to start because of its fancy splash screen

Don’t understand this, they are actively kicking out customers

It doesn’t break anything doing this? Especially networking settings?

The Unifi key lock, but that’s not cheap

Or the Iseo argo or the one from evva

This approach will take an insane amount of power compared to a real switch

I measured on my server each sfp+ card takes 10W, plus my ASRock BTC motherboard (which I bought for the many PCI lanes ignoring the low speeds, making them almost useless for what I wanted to do, a Nas) consumes 40w at idle. So an 8 port switch would take 120w. Not too much but much higher

I really don’t understand why they lock the hardware like this.

Dear manufacturer: are you committed to update your device for at least a decade and use open protocols? The answer is always no, so just allow us to void the warranty and install tasmota or esphome.

Electrical installations should be considered almost permanent, support should last decades. I’m not willing to replace a “smart” relay every few years because the app broken

My idea is to use this https://www.f-droid.org/packages/com.jarsilio.android.waveup/

You would need to place the hand nearby the proximity sensor

In order to wake when you enter the room you would need an external pir sensor and some hack. Or a sophisticated app that does computer vision all the time with the front camera, but I never saw an app like that

Alternatives that I evaluated as a concept:

• a pine tablet with Linux and a pir sensor connected to the gpio ports - need to code a wake screen feature, then show a dashboard from ha in a kiosk browser

• using some custom python script generate an image on your server with the status of your home, then jailbreak an old kindle to download and display that image ever few minutes. No need to turn on and off the screen anymore

A tablet that turns on every time you enter the room might be annoying night time

it will 100% be abused by assholes for mining some millicents in monero or do ddos attacks.

Processing for a website need to be as fast as possible. Nobody would like a loading screen “please wait - contacting p2p node 32292 for rendering your page” that will last several seconds, pages on a peer and database on another, plus all the overhead to manage sync between all the nodes

file storage doesn’t require ultrafast processing. Make a static website with hugo, host pages on gh pages, and downloads on ipfs

Unfortunately yes, my inexperience let me put two gateways on the same subnet

I need to rethink it
