I find it very confusing to get a good workflow with it + calibre.

I sync all of my books (and use readarr for organization or occasionally grabbing books from dead authors) via syncthing. Then calibre web won’t ingest any new books I copy to the folder, so I have to go to desktop calibre to add them manually, then it will sync the database and calibre-web has a built-in task for scanning any database changes so then the book will show up.

Seems like a clunky method and I would think I am doing it wrong, but I haven’t found a way for calibre to scan books already organized in folders in its book directory.

How did you measure the water going through? Did you hook up an in-line flow meter to the dishwasher? I would be interested to know if my Bosch dishwasher is the same way because I always use Eco.

I would think that they will have to combat AI code with an AI code recognizer tool that auto-flags a PR or issue as AI, then they can simply run through and auto-close them. If the contributor doesn’t come back and explain the code and show test results to show it working, then it is auto-closed after a week or so if nobody responds.

This is theoretically something sodium batteries would be good at right?

Aren’t they not as sensitive to storage voltages? They are almost a perfect lead-acid replacement. Plus a UPS is a great usecase because it doesn’t matter if it is 33% bigger to achieve the same capacity.

Even the creator of the open source initiative has said that open source has failed and we need more restrictive licensing because open source simply is too permissive and has been aggressively exploited at the expense of the people, who it was meant to empower.

For me, source available licenses that are open source except specifically restricting for profit hungry, exploitative companies and corpos are with something like non-commercial clauses are fine for an end product. I use CERN OHL S v2, but I can’t fault people for going noncommercial like the entirety of the art and 3D printing world pretty much already are to protect themselves.

I think Frigate also works well with standard video cards nowadays?

I have made laundry lists in the past of things that either you can’t do with windows, or you need to regedit and hack around it. Literally basic as fuck things.

Hell, until a year or two ago, you couldn’t open the location of a file from a file search, and it obscured (and still does) the full path of the file in the search pane. Not to mention how bad the search is in general.

Don’t get me started on the “modern sleep” bullshit lol

In Belgium, it is legally required to put a sign up if you have cameras, you can’t point them at a place including public properties IIRC, and you can force them via the local government to move the camera if they are pointing at your property (at least in theory).

Lasers. Blue lasers are what you can do. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ring/comments/wqxkdq/what_is_this_person_doing_to_my_camera/ (hate to link to reddit but it is a good demo)

OpenSCAD would like a word lol

I think it is because 90% of company sustainability is simply greenwashing.

Fairphone also had the whole “fairbuds” thing where they released tws earbuds (and then removed the headphone jack) and supported them for under 2 years before throwing them away and they are completely non-repairable, then acted like they didn’t exist.

The new fairbuds are 10x better though, but I have heard the sound on both of their headphones is mediocre at best.

Something like endurain?

Also not very searchable on engines, especially due to fediverse server name differences, you can’t !lemmy because many of the communities don’t have Lemmy in their domain or titles or however that works. At least I have only gotten Lemmy results for like 25% of my searches.

Kopia is great for this. Choose your encryption, built in support for different provider storage tyoes in the GUI to choose where to go, dedupe, folder structure scramble, etc…

But their flatpak hasn’t been updated in ages…

I have yet to use a consumer ADF scanner on a printer that didn’t feed the paper at an angle until they are crushed and folded, doesn’t matter if the guides are perfectly set for A4 either. It has never worked for me.

Opencloud is a fork from Owncloud Infinite Scale just as nextcloud was a fork from the old Owncloud version.

Apparently much much simpler and more performant than nextcloud in almost every way. It also has a secure file sharing link feature.

They are also based in Germany.

I am about to spin up opencloud behind traefik and authelia hopefully this week or weekend.

I don’t know, that is about all Mistral can do too.

That and python scipy is like a 50/50 for relevant code snippits.

It had never once output compilable embedded code, even when I have tried to directly lead it there.

correct, the real mesh internet replacement is HaLow, that can get a whopping 4Mbps or something.

And this is why I try to recommend to every single person starting their smart home to plan it so that if everything dies, their internet, their router, power gets restarted, and their HomeAssistant gets corrupted, and you die, at the same time, that everything will work exactly as expected, because with MANY smart home systems they will just stop functioning or be stuck in a bad mode until your family hires someone to fix it.

That’s why I lean hard towards KNX

And Bing, and searches that use google and Bing results (DDG, ecosia)

Well CAD software has made leaps and bounds since then. Anyone who used CAD back in the day would know what an unstable clusterfuck it was and how much longer it took than now.

A lot of software has gotten much better, including “core” Foss like Linux and FFMPEG. There is just 10x as much software that is horrible, and windows has gotten so much worse to the point that it feels like computers have made no progress when you use it.

Also, CPUs nowadays use about the same power as they did 20 years ago but with an order of magnitude more processing power, and the idle power consumption is much much much lower. The first Core 2 Duo had a 65W TDP, the same as modern Ryzen 5. GPUs are just out of hand with power consumption because of profit-driven game companies and AI.
