In what sense is DuckDNS unreliable?

Grammarly, ChatGPT and other useful for students sites for free? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you are a student, you should be able to organize with some of your classmates or friends.

Also, maybe consider LanguageTool instead of Grammarly, at least it's not fully closed source.

Censorship in Europe: Major Palestinian news channels banned on Telegram in c/[email protected]

Playing a bit of devil's advocate here: any of you used these channels? Could it be that they were just spreading misinformation like every country does at war? Any example of existing zionist Telegram channels?

Xiaomi 14T series does not include a charger in the box - XiaomiTime in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

What is up with all of you people complaining about chargers not included? Don't you already have like 3000 at home?

It is one of the few decisions that Apple did that were completely right.

Also the complaint about "price was still the same without the charger" is useless, they've increased prices forever, it's not about the charger.

Move on, people.

Edit: some grammar, and also some disagreements without actual answers. I'd really like to know why you'd get angry at less trash in the world.

The title specifies that it's the apps that are open source.

Youtube increases Family Plan price by 56% in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

That's the thing, for me, it's too much money every month for a one-time setup and maybe 15 minutes maintenance every 3 months. But if you feel it's still worth it, go for it.

I understand. But that should make you automatically realise that you should give that old fat/broken laptop a chance to be plugged into your TV. Put a 10 $ remote mini keyboard there and no one will touch the TV interface again.

I can understand if you want to pay. But don't say it's hard to block ads when all you need is uBlock origin installed... And that's it. It's literally a 15 seconds job for the rest of the life of your browser.

What browser do yall use? in c/[email protected]

I'm sorry but I won't bother switching to a ultra-minor browser for having to toggle something in the settings once every 2 years after 500 articles pop up about it.

The only broken thing is very specific stuff like Slack calls. In fact, it's the only broken thing I've seen in a long while. Also fuck Slack.

I swear this question comes up everyday in Lemmy 😅.

Firefox, I just use Firefox because, it works, it has enough privacy measures, and everyone is looking at the codebase, something that cannot be said about most (if not all) forks.

Seems like the comeback of a more sane system. I just wish they stopped using so many circles or such huge rounded corners that enforce smaller and smaller text and icons.

Can I use a Broadlink RM4 (Pro) to learn IR codes AND store them somewhere I want? Would be amazing if the format can be transformed with IrScrutinizer too. (Using Home Assistant) (discuss.tchncs.de)

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?

What is your GoCryptFS/CryFS workflow for syncing (let's say) Nextcloud encrypted folders on Android? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I was using the Plasma Vaults feature for the first time on my Linux computer, and it worked nicely (GoCryptFS), but when I wanted to sync that folder on my Android... I just couldn't find the right tool on Android for the job.

How do you solve this problem yourself?

Thinking of building a database of "stuff" that I have at home + some other family households. Multiple accounts with private and shared inventories. (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

The use case is basically so that all my family members we can check that "John has an old laptop collecting dust" or "Mary has this specific tool that I'd love to use for my current project".

It would be awesome if you could also have a private inventory, aside from the "shared knowledge".

So, what do you guys use for this? Maybe it does not have to be self hosted, but I have a sense the best solutions for this use case are.

Small phone lovers... our era is not over. Yesterday I discovered the Unihertz Jelly Star. I fell in love. I will be reporting back. (www.unihertz.com)

Go and check the link, but essentially:

  • small
  • 2023 release (Android 13)
  • HEADPHONE JACK (I was almost sold here)
  • NFC
  • 8GB RAM (that is powerful)
  • 256 GB internal storage
  • Dual SIM or SIM+MicroSD
  • IR BLASTER (whatttttttt)
  • LED indicators (front AND BACK)
  • fingerprint scanner
  • face ID
  • FM Radio
  • PROGRAMMABLE BUTTON (ok I'm in love already STOPPP)

I mean... this list is mindblowing. So...

What's the downside?

Honestly, you can go and check all reviews... but this phone is virtually perfect for the size, the only issue I have is that the screen is a bit too tiny, 3 inches, and 480p, and I think this will make many people run away.

It should make me look elsewhere also... but where? Any other small phone with a bigger screen is pretty bad, old, etc... and I really needed a new phone, so I realised this was an opportunity to commit to the cause, and buy and hopefully push this form factor from Unihertz to mainstream brands.

Hopefully one day we can get one with a slightly bigger screen, I believe 4 inches and 1080p would be brutal. But for now... I think I've found my new phone. In fact, I bought it 3 hours after knowing its existance.

If you are not sold yet...

Go check reviews on YouTube (example). Honestly, you'll see every reviewer falls in love with the device, even non-small phone lovers. It looks like it performs pretty well, it's decently fast, battery is solid, screen is bright and colorful, the LEDs are really useful, even Face ID (which I'll probably disable) is quick, it does not heat up at all, and even photos are pretty decent...

And it's something like 200 $. Come on. What a deal.

Will report back.

So, what do you think?

[Home Assistant] Port forwarding? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I followed this video to make my Home Asssistant accessible from everywhere, and yeah, port 8123 is fully clear to me, I've done it, it works great.

But he also talks about port 443, and when he sets it up in the router instead of choosing 443 on both WAN and LAN he goes for 443 to 8123. Why? And which one is the WAN and the LAN one? His router config has completely different names to mine, and as you can tell I am quite a noob at this.

Benefits of running 2 Wi-Fi networks from the same router? What are the downsides? (I don't know if there is a better community for this question) (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I am worried that there is not really a benefit of doing that, just more noise and energy consumption.

Controlling and monitoring computers (Windows, Linux) from Home Assistant? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

There does not seem to exist like a single, complete solution for this that everyone agrees is the way to go... or maybe I did not look hard enough.

How do you do it?

My priorities are:

Top priority

  • Turn off

Amazing to have

  • Volume controls
  • Pause/play

Nice to have

  • monitoring state (on/off)

I saw that System Bridge exists, and looks almost perfect aside from the fact that is not even in the AUR (outdated) and is not distributed under Chocolatey in Windows... this makes me think that the project is very much not widely used at all.

So, how do you deal with these things?

My Google account is picking up on a particular daily Nextcloud Task of mine and it is literally creating new events for this every single day (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

How can I kill this evil thing?

This is probably not the place to do it but I figured it would be where I could find someone who fixed it.

In a smart switch such as Sonoff ZBMINI, do I need to connect both S1 and S2? I've seen tutorials only connecting S2 (on Aqara). (discuss.tchncs.de)

Essentially the title.

If only S2 (previous connection point from light switch to bulb) is truly required, then, wow, that makes things way easier to install.

I guess electrically it makes sense, I'm just weirded out it does not show in the instructions.

Matter vs Zigbee: what is Matter actually replacing? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I just started my journey into Home Automation, and I think I am starting to understand better what Matter actually signifies...

So, Zigbee is just a communication protocol, and the definition of smart devices is actually done by ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, etc... correct?

So Matter actually reduces all those Zigbee sub-protocols into one thing, so one Matter bulb will be always compatible, you don't need to pick like we do now with ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT... correct?

And then, the Zigbee communication is substituted either with Thread (basically Zigbee technology but for Matter) or Wi-Fi. But the smart device definition is still Matter, so a bulb will always behave like Matter specifies, in terms of variables and parameters.

Am I getting close?
