Indeed just issuing a warning at connection or so "keep in mind to drive safely and keep an eye on the road" would be more appropriate IMHO. There is the same kind of restrictions with Waze, you cannot access the keyboard when driving and are forced to use the speech recognition which is often difficult (especially in foreign countries where street names are in foreign language).

So simple, no images, no videos, no bullshit this just works... Now mainly out of habits and because I have some friends on it... Also some nostalgia about the time internet was more than http and so on

Using a self-hosted thelounge too and, as alternative if my home connection drop or so, I have irssi in termux.

Of course, it's the best proto for chat, I use it actively everyday since 1997.

I use SimpleHttp server but it's not open source and available only on play store. I use this to download epub from my e-reader after having downloaded them on my phone. Now I will look into foss solutions proposed in this Post, through termux or other apps, thanks.

Edit: indeed with termux + caddy + termux widget it's just perfect

A good chair for sure. I think this is the most valuable thing you can ask for.

It's indeed noisy, we schedule it to run when we're not at home.

A bit on the costly stuff but I find the vacuum cleaner robot (not sure it's called this in English) very useful. The house is cleaner to be vacuumed every day (even if it's not as efficient as manual vacuuming or cleaning). Especially with pets and children.

Indeed, being Belgian and an adept of the real French fries (double cooked) I was not convinced at all. In the end, I still prefer real fries but I find the air fryer very practical to cook (or warm up quickly - unlike microwave oven it does not make stuff soft) all sort of food.

I was born in 1984 :D

 

Pretty interesting video ...

On a user level I agree it's a very good feature (if configurable, not just an automatic grouping of similarly named communities). For merging post, not sure I want that, perhaps a bit too smart... Now if many users want this why not (as long as there is a setting to turn it off ;)).

Indeed this would really be a game changer feature. However I don't complain about community fragmentation, I think it's great because the communities are not really identical but share the same topic, sometimes with different tone, moderation, ...

I want to get started with home automation, probably based on a raspberry pi (or as of now with my banana pi which is my home server) and either openHAB or home assistant. My goal is, first, to put some temperature/humidity sensors in varous rooms and leak detector in my basement where I had some issues with the main drain. I wonder if you have some recomendations for a usb dongle for zigbee and/or z-wave compatible with linux, not too expensive but good enough if I want to extend the network later. I read about SONOFF-ZB USB Dongle Plus Zigbee 3.0 available on Chinese websites. What do you think?
