  • Yeah, totally understand that. Had an easy start cause I got a lot of Philips Hue stuff for free from a friend who got fed up with smart tech in general. He now has a Pixel with mostly blank Graphene and a Raspberry Pi as his only computing devices, lol.

    I had a lot of fun programming click patterns for smart switches that are incomprehensible for anyone but me XD

    Good luck with your transition~

  • I have been very happy with local stuff. I have home assistant running on a pi, independent of my main server (cause I wanna control the lights easily while changing server hardware).

    All my smart devices (lamps, mostly) use Zigbee, and it's just way easier and more flexible than classical dimmers. There's local voice recognition support, but for that I'd probably run it on something with more horsepower than a raspi.

  • It's not really renaming. It's just that the big distros have different naming conventions, and documentation often uses the names used either by Fedora/Redhat or Debian/Ubuntu.

  • If you look at e.g. Germany, it's Deutschland in German, but others might call it Allemagne, Tyskland, Germania, Niemcy, Saska, ...

    I very much don't want to police what others would like to be called, but feel like having your own local name for a country is mostly normal and fine.

    I might also not be the biggest fan of the concept of countries, but that's neither here nor there.

  • I use tumbleweed. Mostly just works. Sometimes, you have to go look for packages that are named differently than in other distros.

  • I would argue that those sanctions, if general, shouldn't include necessities like food or medicine. Also, I feel that sanctions against specific figures in the government might be relatively effective (many countries are doing this already). Make it difficult to enjoy the fortune they stole from their people.

    I also don't like the idea of sanctions that aren't based on specific/ongoing actions, but the existence of a certain government/regime, though I see where you are coming from.

    I would also still argue that the Russian people chose that government, back when they did choose, because they didn't see many other options, and keeping them in perpetual destitution long term isn't likely to change that.

  • Geizhals, Hardwareschotte, etc. are paid by the stores per click. If a stores budget runs out, they stop being displayed. Seems like a mid solution.

  • It might not be easily quantifiable, but having a fun time, talking about things that bother or interest you certainly improve your life (or mine, at least). I also have a few close friends that I can talk about things with, and that help me with things, that I couldn't easily talk about with just anyone.

    Also, while I don't like thinking about friendships that way, the whole networking thing is pretty helpful when looking for flats, jobs, help moving, etc.

    Also also, building a supportive community that provides services for yourself and others is just generally a good thing that can improve not just your, but many lives.

  • Demonising a whole people like this is in itself wrong.

    What is your supposed solution, then? How does one deal with tens of millions of people who are supposedly evil and wrong?

  • Where they, though? People drafted and sent to the front generally have few options. I get that people dying is what happens in war but casting all individual soldiers of one side as "bad", of the other as "good" just serves to dehumanise people and excuse atrocities.

    This was a legitimate military target, but I don't think anyone should cheer about a hundred dead people.

  • This feels kinda homophobic? Like, I know it's a setting with very exaggerated factions, but I don't think any of them rape you under threat of death.

  • Most Autobahnen have a Seitenstreifen, which is essentially a shoulder, but in German. Maybe look things up before stating them?

  • Huh, Authentik was what I used before Kanidm. Wasn't anything wrong with it per se, but there where a lot of moving parts and complexity rhat didn't really serve a purpose for me.

    I thought about kubernetes or proxmox, but I don't really see any reason to. All my containers are controlled via podman quadlets, and either run on a single machine locally, or on a VPS.

  • Thanks, that makes a lot more sense.

  • If you can autofill passwords without authenticating in some way, they are probably either stored in plaintext, or encrypted with a key that is stored in plaintext. Cause, like, how is it supposed to magically encrypt it.

  • On how you want to slice up the hardware - I feel like there isn't one right answer, and I'd do whatever feels most comfortable to admin for you. I feel like for homelab workloads, any half-reasonable setup should work fine, just make sure you have good backups.

    On SSO - I have never tried Authelia, but am personally very enamoured with Kanidm. It's very lightweight, and has pretty good default settings.

    On reverse proxy - I personally use Caddy, but Traefik is good too, and can do more stuff out of the box. I just mount the certs I need readonly in the container of the service that needs them. Clunky, but works well enough for me.

  • I was just wondering how they could have lost more than a hundred percent on anything if they didn't leverage some sort of debt in a reckless way. Because, like, I'm not a finance person, but I feel like it's hard to lose more than 100% of whatever money you put up otherwise.

  • To expand on what the other user said, making what you wanna display a website and running Chrome(ium) in kiosk mode pointed at wherever you want on it on startup is a very simple way to make a remotely adressable display with standard hardware.

  • That site seems like satire on first glance, but these days I'm really not sure.
