Obviously they are negotiating who gets which ukranian natural resources. USA and Russia, like always, divide the cake between themselves, while Ukraine and the rest of the world realise these bastards will always be the same imperialist assholes.

Trump's administration don't even lie about this. They have explicitly said that's the whole issue. I hate their policies, but you gotta acknowledge the honesty.

Give them fun names but please STOP using them as official repo/distribution names.

Life would be so much easier if the repository was debian15. Same problem when looking up Docker images.

Then you won't have to double check everytime if you are talking about a newer/older version, etc.

Okay, yeah, that is definitely concerning.

There are no ads on my Kindle.

After the feature of being able to send EPUB files to Kindle through email and them being automatically converted... I have not felt I was missing anything by using standard Kindle software.

So I'd suggest, unless you really really need some obscure feature, Calibre+Kindle is nowadays perfectly fine, and maybe you shouldn't risk bricking your device.

This thingie fails miserably when trying to listen to covers, alternate versions and the like. Most times it just plays a different version. And I hate that.

Try PipePipe, a better fork of NewPipe

I'm not so sure it was an organized attack or rather a 12 year old kid who found out a stupid way of accomplishing a stupid thing.

I don't know if there were other things done, but those 2 words I've read are more like 2 words a non-native kid would use rather than a far right manifesto, AFAIK, 😅

I have a notification for when my SO leaves specific lights on for too long

I feel that at this point, I have lost all faith we will ever see RCS as an actual libre, federated protocol.

It depends, but I'd say you should definitely try it. Zigbee is so cheap (not just initial cost, but batteries also last waaasy longer and it doesn't saturate your local network), and it's very possible you can still build a nice mesh, maybe reusing a couple of your Wi-Fi switches somewhere else in the house if you need a Zigbee router in one of those spots.

It was never the best idea to fill your home with tiny Wi-Fi devices. Wi-Fi IoT devices are more for people who basically want to automate a couple of things, not 40. I would become mad just for the battery changes, and scared as heck I'd be toasting my brain with so many devices screaming radiowaves (and a clear slowdown of my Internet connection).

 

I have a feeling it must exist. Some kind of search-engine that's got all the major trackers right there for you.

 

That's basically it.

 

It could be the thing that makes Home Assistant suddenly interesting for many ""normies"".

 

Or can I hard-reset the device into the default configuration again?

 

I know how to do it in the battery section through the GUI, but I'd like to set it up through a command, for automation purposes, and particularly for KDE Connect commands.

 

When I read about Overture Maps like a year or 2 ago, it seemed to me that basically they were going to create a whole new thing from scratch.

Let's be honest, with enough resources, it's easy to see that they could pull off some kind of OpenStreetMap 2.0, where all the issues from OSM are modernised and cleaned up.

What's really going on? Are we getting something soon from these people? What's the relationship with them?

On their website, they say "coming this fall". Are you excited? Scared? What should I think?

I'm trying to feel more comfortable using random GitHub projects, basically.

I am talking about this kind of livestream.

It looks nice, with all the different layouts and so on.

 

Is Linux not free software itself? I thought propietary stuff was added downstream.

Am I getting something wrong?

 

So, what I want to do is basically to be able to publish some of my own IR remotes at home to some public database, very probably IRDB. Of course I'd also be using the device for automations and so on, which I know it works great at that. But my main goal is to make it possible for people to not have to buy a stupid remote for some old hardware they have.

From the docs, it seems like it is possible.

Do you have any experience on this?
