Devin has previously delivered what he says he’s gonna do, so I’m certain this is on it’s way. Might take longer than the Summer Of Code runs for, but it will get there.

I use 2 kinds in my house.

Aqara Smart Plugs. Zigbee based, runs from the ZHA integration, has control and monitoring built in. Only does up to 10A. Well known brand. Nous A1Z Smart Plugs. Same as the Aqara, but smaller, handles up to 16A but the brand is not as known as Aqara.

None of them exists in black as far as I know. I go for the Nous ones going forward, as they are smaller and can handle more power hungry devices.

Hm, it might not be as useful as I thought. Just tried it. It seems it wants to save them as “drawings”, because even though I chose to open in LibreOffice Writer, it opens it in LibreOffice Draw. My bad.

So what is the TrueNAS server doing at this time? Have you checked the logs?

I would image it might be some backup, snapshotting or optimization.

LibeOffice Writer opens pdf’s just fine. Just save it as odt afterwards. Probably can’t do complex pdf’s this way, but in that case you shouldn’t really convert the pdf anyway as it will almost always loose some of the formatting or layout in the process.

Sure, just stating what OP mentioned.

OP stated that a VM is not feasable because of ressources on the PC.

I’m afraid they have to install Windows again, if work is not able to provide a device for this function. I have not heard of any solution for reliable iTunes functionality on Linux. :(

SyncThing? It has no centralized point and syncs with devices when they are online.

Imagine the feeling when “you just click the .exe and everything installs itself” works for everyone but you. It doesn’t matter that downloading executables from random websites is way worse than a proper package manager in pretty much every way.

If this is your aim, you can’t really do that with Linux. Better stick with Windows in this case, as that’s the only place where this works.

Don’t most blog software provide rss feeds?

I know Ghost does, by just adding /rss to the link in question. So you can link to the whole blog, specific tags or even specific posts this way.

So Alpaca still gives functional answers if you turn off your internet connection?

Maybe Watchtower?

No idea if it works for kubernetes…

Link to the company page? I can’t find anything on jellyfin page that mentions that they are a company.

Nextcloud might be overkill, but it does have all those features and more. It’s literally made for organizations to keep track of contacts, documents, tasks, kanban like boards, notes and lots of other stuff.

In the end the creator of the game kindly send me links to AUR packages that other people had done for his other projects so I could see what they had done and I did and did the same, which was to put the files in the locations recommended by the specs like /etc and /usr, and to added a post-install message telling the user to copy/paste some commands to copy the files in $HOME. It’s a bit clunky but I guess it works 🥳

Curious, if it was the tui-mines and tui-sudoku packages you took inspiration from? If that’s the case, then those are packages I maintain.

I chose to do some AUR packages, because I wanted to learn how to package for Arch, packaging guidelines and get a routine going.

I believe the reason to not mess with $HOME in packaging, is because of security. $HOME is the users private stash. To put stuff in there, from packaging, means you invade their private space and users should be able to decide what they want “dumped” in there. So just installing a package, should not put stuff in a users home folder.

They are not a company. Why would they want to “make a living” from it?

No, I sync my bookmars via Firefox Sync, so I haven’t had the need for it.

Have you tried ESC ?

I tried Rcognize on my Nextcloud install, but appearently I have too few photos fot it to matter. It never started any clustering. Not even from the CLI commands. Had it running for about 6 months, then uninstalled it again as I was getting no real use from it.

IIRC it also pulls item information from relevant (open API) databases, so you get the synopsis etc filled in?

Looks like it. I added a movie to a collection and it pulled in data from TMDB.

For me starting a new account that also made it kind of overwhelming.

Well, you can use/link a mastodon account if you already have one. Not sure if it supports lemmy accounts.
