I absolutely agree. For me, a very similar thing can be said for art. It should be okay to scrap free and open source data, and copyleft art and make whatever you want with it. That is why I put a copyleft license on things! Just release the code, and acknowledge the source.

If you waste your time shitting on LLMs and AI models as a concept... You are totally missing the point. These are useful tools. Not as useful as the oligarchs want you to believe. But they are useful. And people find value in them. This is the reality.

You should focus on who controls and monopolises these concepts, not the concept itself.

I am usually known by my friends as the "snob" guy who only likes "good cinema"... And after like episode 3 I was fully in. It's just pure fun.

And you can tell everyone put their 150 % of love and passion into it.

It's a flag you set up yourself, it's in your user configuration.

You can still buy all of those without any "smart" capabilities easily.

You could definitely compile your own version of Home Assistant stripping those configurations from the codebase. Enjoy!

Why would you guys want to delete those configurations??? How would you expect to reinstall them in the case of wanting them back????

Would you like to uninstall ZHA too? Why not the entire WebUI? Yeah!! Let's get rid of all the bloat!!

I never use the letter Q, so I demand it being stripped out of all keyboards!! BLOAT!!


Do you guys even think twice about the things you like getting angry about??

Is there a fork that has Sponsorblock submissions available?

That's my biggest downside with FreeTube, the dev is anti-sponsorblock, he just added basic sponsorblock reading because it was too obvious everyone wanted it.

I'm just excited for this show to finally end. It deserved to end 2 seasons ago. What a boring lip-filled season this one is.

As a former Arch user that has been (and still is) using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for like... 9 months? I would summarize it like this: DON'T SWITCH.

At first everything will feel pretty good. Latest software like Arch, but with the BTRFS config OOTB, which feels like "wooow, this is really cool".

But then... You'll slowly start seeing the problems.

Some other comment said zypper was better than pacman. That's absolutely not true. zypper is way slower, and search works horribly. Even with the new parallelization system, things are definitely worse.

Also, the paru/yay equivalent experience (non-official packages) is bad, really bad, not only because of how little software actually is there, but also because things are not as well mantained, and stuff like codecs will make you cry.

And for the stability of Tumbleweed... My system, and several apps have been broken too many times in these months of usage, and stayed broken for weeks without a fix. It's not like Arch didn't break on me. But not this frequently, and not without quick fixes.

Yeah, that snapshots system is not something exclusive to OpenSUSE. Fedora does it too. And it's not like you can't configure it in 15 minutes with the Arch wiki.

Insecure by design ®️

Well, the show is not finished yet.

Unless the digital Euro or GNU Taler really become the norm... You are totally stuck with multibillion corps controlling every single digital cent of yours.

Peak was the mall season. The rest has been repetitive.

 

Mind that I am very noob into self-hosting, reverse proxies and the like

When I saw that Caddy automatically handled the HTTPS thingies I was like "this is my moment then to go into self-hosting". Caddy seemed so simple.

Turns out... I am suddenly discovering that the connection between the caddy machine and the Home Assistant machine (both in the local network) is non-encrypted. So if another appliance in my local network went rogue... bum, all my info gets leaked... right?

This might sound weird because it might actually be super-duper complicated but... how come in 2025 we still don't auto-encrypt local comms?

Please be kind. Lot's of love. Hopefully I'll dig my way to self-hosting wisdom.

 

The other day I switched Linux distros, wiped disk, and somehow realised that OMEMO is a weird freaky thing and now I cannot see any message from my computer, even though I have everything visible on my Conversations Android app.

I don't want to get angry again, but... yeah, this is terrible, terrible UX. Seems like OMEMO somehow encrypts for each device differently, and now all messages are "locked". Which is weird, because messages are still there, just "locked".

Can I somehow import a backup from my Android app? Is there anything that can be done? My guess is that, probably not, otherwise I would have gotten a popup or something in the login process, "would you like to sync your messages?", but nothing happened.

XMPP supremacists, please! Give me a solution! I was organizing important projects with multiple people. Getting locked out of all that information is terrible.

Otherwise, then I really feel I can see XMPP disappearing now... and for a very good reason.

 

Is the loss of pacman and AUR that bad?

What things are to be gained? I expect that SELinux and Redhat backing should really make fedora way more secure.

 

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?
