All their smart lights are tuya, or at least the ones that I have. The esp are swappable but are soldered to the boards and their a pain to open but can be done.
I purchased some of their downlughts to add another project to the pile and to feed my curiosity.
I’d dare say the easier method, from memory the p6 should have a charge limit in the stock firmware.
I’ve not an old Samsung s10+ kicking around with corrupted firmware, should really take a look at it and see if it can be up and running again. Not that I need more cores, ram, cameras or any additions to my equipment but just because.
It fassinates me that consumer hardware, and low power at that goes wasted so often. So many small form factor devices such as phones, with built in ups aren’t being leveraged. But I guess that comes down to proprietary binary blobs and developer work on a per device basis.
I might have to investigate what platforms mobile nixos supports and see if it’s cheap enough to dabble with.
Several minute delay? Have you considered running Frigate for your detections?
Run a macvlan and give containers their own local IP. Or don’t expose the port on the host, and connect via reverse proxy.
Yeah have been meaning to pick a few up but it’s not been a top priority. Not really a developer more just a user that dabbles too much with a homelab while trying to be privacy & security conscious.
The cost alone is a bit of a hurdle with money going to life / house currently and another purchase of some silly computer thing will trigger her.
Same thing as any file full of credentials.
I didn’t know about the ability to use more than one passkey per platform. Something I’ll have to investigate further.
My passkeys are stored in keypass, which I share between multiple devices. Phone, home servers, desktop pc and a flashdrive that stays in my car.
Obviously the flash drive needs to be manually updated but the other devices use syncthing to keep everything up to date.
I get there are some people that have concerns over such a configuration but I’m happy bopping away knowing that if my phone dies, I’ve still got access to accounts / can easily be back up and running on a fresh device.
Not around here but the major banks in my area still allow for note / change deposits into accounts. They even have coin hoppers in some still, great for cleaning out the glovebox / centre console.
Been a while since I’ve used one as I generally take my change into work and convert it into notes there :D
It’s crazy to see the downturn in cash going through pubs, I’ve been in the industry for 20 years and remember when I’d started most transactions were physical money, these days on a busy night I’ll count the 7 tills we have and maybe end up with 3k in cash takings. (not including the pokies for obvious reasons).
You could always fall back to Hannah Montana Linux.
GUIX, openSUSE or Void might take your fancy if the more mainstream distros aren’t quite hitting the spot.
Ahh we don’t really use cheques here in Aus. Payments being electronic doesn’t worry me, pay lands in my account the same day it’s processed, sometimes the following day if the accountants miss the deadline.
Sending someone money is generally instant using PayID, without fees too.
I use neobanks (no physical branches) so as long as their web interface works well enough for me, and I can use my own 2FA (not SMS based) ill be happy as a pig in mud.
Just wait and see if the climate turns to no physical cards in the next 5 - 10 years…
Banks allow me to login via their web interface, send money to a BSB + Account Number or even a PayID (email / phone number) but using their app to do just the same is too far?
It’s total rubbish, honestly I’ve resurrected my OG ridge wallet and am planning on installing Graphene on my P7P to skirt the phone payment trap.
I was one of the few in Australia to test Google wallet (thanks for the free cash google) and thought it was the bees knees. It’s a fucking long con and fuck I feel dumb for falling into it.
Worst still my drivers licence is a phone app, so are my work certificates and probably a bunch of other shit that I’ll only realize later.
I guess fuck around and find out shows its ugly face eventually.
So vibe coding?
I’ve tried using llm for a couple of tasks before I gave up on the jargon outputs and nonsense loops that they kept feeding me.
I’m no coder / programmer but for the simple tasks / things I needed I took inspo from others, understood how the scripts worked, added comments to my own scripts showing my understanding and explaining what it’s doing.
I’ve written honestly so much, just throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks (works). I have fleshed out a method for using base16 colour schemes to modify other GTK* themes so everything in my OS matches. I have declarative containers, IP addresses, secrets, containers and so much more. Thanks to the folks who created nix-colors, I should really contribute to that repo.
I still feel like a noob when it comes to Linux however seeing my progress in ~ 1y is massive.
I managed to get a working google coral after everyone else’s scripts (that I could find on Github) had quit working (NixOS). I’ve since ditched that module as the upkeep required isn’t worth a few ms in detection speeds.
I don’t believe any of my configs would be where they are if I’d asked a llm to slap it together for me. I’d have none of the understanding of how things work.
Yer I host Plex for 10+ folks and it’s an easy send. Really wish I could pipe it through CloudFlare but not willing to risk it currently.
I’ll give plexamp a go, man my tastes are all over the shop so it will be an album dump (that I should have done years ago) spinning up some old cds and the external dvd drive 😂
You hosting your plex service for other users outside of your home? I’m finding the ease of access for other users / the wife is the largest driving point for me to continue using plex.
I could configure a VPN and attach my jellyfin server to that network however that’s a large hurdle for some of the general population users I have on my plex currently.
For something on-topic the wife and I agreed that she should move to the student sub as she’s studying and kick me off Spotify entirely. I’ve got until the EOM to get plexamp / something else self hosted. Interested to see what comes from this post as it’s pretty relevant for me right now.
Admittedly I could Bluetooth to my head unit in my car and stream Grayjay music to it, but that’s just leaning on an unfree service.
I found that powerline adaptors were a great temp fix until I was able to run some cat6a through the walls / ceiling.
Sounds like a temporary permanent fix.
Could be seeing if it’s a modem / other hardware fault.
Id personally try a hardwired connection, and if the problem persists try a live Linux distro and see if the problem persists there.
3070? I remember receiving boxes of these which were delegated to prebuild systems.
These were screamers, up there with the two slot 3090 blower from gigabyte 🫠
I’ve not had any issues using my 3070 / 1660 mobile.
Been using Linux around 12m now on all my systems, drivers have luckily been a non issue.
Saying so depending on if AMD want to try and compete in the next generation of GPUs I’ll probably swing to team red.
Missed the self hosted install:

Might investigate this further as I’ve wanted to move passwords to another solution and leave passkeys / 2fa via KeePass.
