All these comments are great, but the real mystery is:
Why did someone overlay a different font on top of the original graphic rather than just make a whole new graphic? Like, the work is exactly the same, and the rest of us can view sane font placement.
So, I installed zwave lights everywhere. It was a giant pain!
I replaced them all with light switches that have motion sensors. Some turn off automatically after being turned on with no motion. Some turn on somatically with motion (and off again later.)
A small handful were turned back into normal light switches because I didn’t want the automation for those rooms.
To me, THAT is automation. Wherever I was thinking about using an app from my bed was not automation. I just moved the light switch to my phone.
Cursor’s biggest advantage is that it has all the code context loaded right up there in the embedded VSCode editor fork. Augment Code has a similar “context engine” built up, but it’s not a full blown editor.
Cursor’s latest plans were bringing it into something closer to what Claude Code or Claude Desktop is doing (Codex has similar tools.) I’m personally ditching it all and doing VSCodium in 1 window and OpenCode on a terminal. After using Cursor for a year (personal projects, not at work), I can say that it was good, but Composer 1 and 2 were absolute shit and I relied on GPT and Claude models. OpenCode + OpenCode Go (GLM, etc) offer a much more affordable alternative.
Should people use OSS? Yes. Should it be illegal to not to? Hell no.
The advertising caveat there I can get behind, but that’s not about paid vs unpaid.
Policy and legality are two wildly different things.
I bounced around a bit after Storj decided to hate consumers and institute massive minimums.
I’ve landed on Backblaze B2, S3 compatible. Add others have mentioned, doing a shared NAS 2 NAS hookup with a friend or family member is a nice ideal way to do it without monthly fees.
I use Borg backup from my PCs to a NAS (QNAP), and from there using the built in backup software to go off-site. My self hosted PCs will mount NAS drives directly (like immich and audiobookshelf) and those are also in the NAS off-site job.
Reolink stores to a SD card with the option to upload to FTP backups.
I suspect a big 128 gb card would be good enough without off-site storage.
I stopped using Google Maps the second this happened. Fuck that cowtow bullshit.
And that is why I still support Firefox!
I know a good way to *nix it!
I was on the fence about AOC, but now we have a real tangible win. That was the typing point for me! Go AOC!
I’m getting fomo on that 3rd reality device. Kicking myself for buying 2 pine speakers now.
I am not affected on my Ubuntu installation
I use Sonos speakers to play music, so the device is not a speaker for music output. It’s just for commands received and response. I read that it doesn’t support playing music yet. The speaker is clear for voice though.
I just set two of these up. I’m not a HA guy so my HA server only has these assistants, my Sonos system, and Music Assistant set up.
I’m still fussing through setting up tasks, but it’s slowly turning into Alexa Jarvis.
I have it set up to play, pause/stop music from music assistant with a really hacky yaml script.
It can tell me the weather forecast.
That’s all local processing with Whispr(stt) and Piper (tts).
For those who want the “tell me the tallest mountain in the world” type of support, the answer is cloud llms. I tried ollama on my PC, but it’s just too slow. I have an opencode go subscription and that works pretty well with deepseek-v4-flash. You can also use a standard open ai api key with one of the nano or micro models.
It works, not quite as good as Alexa, but it’s not bad.
Great question! You use the Tailscale clients which are fully open source. Headscale is compatible with them, and if TS gets sketchy (which, very well may happen), those clients would need a fork.
Tailscale’s network is with paying for it you need enterprise features and they do have a free tier. I’m not going to lock myself in there though and prefer a full FOSS option.
Fun fact none of you probably care about: I finally set this up last weekend.
I really like it so far for keeping my phone sync’d up with my self hosted services. In the past I needed to flip between public and internal address if I wanted to bypass routing traffic up to my vps while laying in a bed 20ft from my server. Now, tail/headscale handles that for me.
Glorious.
Dumped it last year. It was a good run.
Onn boxes from Walmart are hands down the best deal out there. $45-50 for the pro is solid.
It has boat, but you can get custom launchers or place it in app only mode to cut down on that.
Shouldn’t she get more time for simply providing / allowing alcohol? Let alone the rape!
I will maintain that we have flying cars, and we have had them for some time. They’re called helicopters.
