You won’t find a 100% replacement because npp has a bunch of very specific plugins, but often those plugins would be unnecessary on Linux because you already have other utilities that perform those jobs. You don’t need a plugin to ssh into a server to edit files when you’ve got sshfs for example.

Anyway you can use Geany on Gnome or Kate on KDE.

Germans’ hate for electronic payments strikes again

eh, it’s not all root… /etc and /var are RW

did three major version upgrades so far and they have been flawless.

To be fair, I’ve upgraded normal Fedora for like… 8-10 versions in a row maybe, and never had a problem

Holy shit can you guys read the article please? It’s an existing standard and a dedicated keycode

Virt-manager works ok

Could it be it identifies the hardware as registered to a company as soon as it gets online?

If they’re still on Xitter it means they approve of this

Maybe they hoped for someone more competently evil?

Yeah but if we’re talking about Amazon, we’re not talking about groceries

It’s less green tho. Everybody going to the store vs. one vehicle going door to door.

I wouldn’t know, my drives are in RAIDZ and I’m always seeding Linux ISOs, so they never spin down.

Yeah, USBC and HDMI cables are a crapshoot. My phone came with a fast charger and it always only worked with the cable that came with it, now it also works with Arzopa’s one.

I have a non-touch 1080p one I got for work, 80€, brand is Arzopa. Works fine, uses USBC for power and video which is quite cool since it’s a single cable, it has 2 usbc ports, I guess if you have a lower power output on your PC’s port you can add a power brick, they’re also both functional so if one breaks you still have the other one. It also has a mini HDMI port.
It came with three cables: usbc-usbc, usbc-usbc, miniHDMI-HDMI, all three good quality.
It has folder case but carrying it in my backpack damaged it anyway, I have a couple bright spots, but they’re rarely visibile.

Wireguard is quite magic itself

If you take charge of maintaining this system, maybe it would be easier to install HA supervised in a docker container and have another container for wireguard+syncthing.

A pi5 with 8gb should be enough unless your parents’ HA is an hypertrophic installation with hundreds of devices.

I had an embedded Celeron server, passively cooled with 1 hard drive and 2 SSD which used to idle in the range you mentioned, measured at the outlet… It had a random PSU that came with the mini case it was in.
Realistically, how low do you aim to go? Disks for example add a lot of wattage.

It’s possible but honestly it’s a bit off-putting to me.
For scheduled actions I use the Scheduler addon: It’s mostly for covers and awnings, I don’t schedule lights on and off, I enable their motion sensors depending on the time of day, but that’s a more complex automation and I wrote it in Node-RED, which to me is a cleaner approach than the automation system in HA.

The Scheduler has the advantage of being wife-accessible too!

If it lost 90% of its value, it’d still be overvalued
