Probably rage bait.
Anyway, I like the simplicity of OpenRC and prefer it over systemd. After many years, I never had a reason to switch my Gentoo boxes (servers, laptops, etc) over.
I use systemd at work too, and it always feel unnecessarily complicated and that fixes issues I never had.
Whatever fit your bills I guess. Choice is good, so I am happily applying my choices with OpenRC.
We don’t need fake ai written posts against AI.
And frankly the only believable thing is the AI hallucinating.
Even the point that auth was missing is not believable.
The 80% is useless, batteries are not built to be charged continuously. I suggest you use a smart plug that you turn on and off periodically
If you get the USB working, beware of bulging battery: its not a IF but a WHEN if you keep it plugged 24/7.
Also,mostly depend on postmarket is kernel drivers what will actually work over USB.
OpenRC here, on Gentoo.
It works pretty well, fast and simple, honestly I never felt the need for SystemD.
I use the latter at work sometimes, I don’t really like how it changed the way stuff works, but I have nothing against it. I just feel the extra complexity is not needed in all of my home setups (laptops, servers, etc). So it’s OpenRC everywhere for me.
I am using wiki. Is for a different project and I can’t say I really prefer it over dokuwiki. They both have good points. I don’t like the php dependency of dokuwiki but wikijs feels a bit overcomplex.
Thanks you, it means a lot. Just to be clear for whomever didn’t go there: there is zero monetization, no ads, no profiling.
I like it very much, morebthan before actually.
And extensions are right there, one tap from the main menu… So what are you bitching about?
For once, a positive UI change IMHO.
Years ago i managed to run Gentoo on an Asus Transformer tablet. Pretty shitty experience due to the low spec hardware (1gb ram, shitty slow uSD storage)
Still an awesome experience. Ithink compiling Firefox took one week, and it didn’t run smooth at all. I remember also setting up swap on a USB thumb drive.
Go figure.
I still have the image and stuff somewhere. Not the tabled unfortunately
I had 4 of those nice things 4tb evos… Same model. Two died after a few years of being on use 24/7 in my server… Maybe three years?
Replaced with 6tb hdds and quite happy
I have the same experience. 5he worst ones are the cheap ones from aliexress. I think some of them generate lots of interference maybe by sending energy consumption updates too often
In my experience I needed some routers, not smart plugs, to ensure a smooth mesh. Maybe my smart plugs where too cheap. Anyway, I added one router per floor and had no more devices dropping out randomly.
A dedicated router is a small dongle connected to a USB power adapter in a wall outlet. Add to the mesh, and they only provide routing for other devices, no other function.
Maybe you have better quality devices… I have lots of super cheap switches that behave weirdly without.
My home has some 100 ZigBee devices… Definitely can recommend ZigBee. Lots of cheap options, specially anything from Sonoff is good quality.
Some devices like thermo/igrometers and smart plugs you can go as cheap as aliexpress allow you…
Some devices like TRVs, smart energy switches I would spend money for a Sonoff or equivalent price point.
You need to invest in pure router devices too, specially in a biggish home. Definitely in multi-stories homes.
And go with an high quality coordinator as well.
You can check my wiki https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=homeautomation%3Astart which I wrote mostly for myself for future reference, in the hope it could be useful to others.
Buy a Home Assistant green and self. Host HomeAssistant itself
Great software, and purchasing the green is a great way to support them. Also, the green is a beautiful and very high quality piece of hardware that’s worth the money anyway.
Buy also the thread/ZigBee dongle they provide, again, top quality for the bucks and also support the project.
This is highly needed. An open alternative to play integrity is the only way forward. Something so critical cannot be left in the hands of US company.
While it is a good use case, also require human verification. I use to run my code (C++) trough clang analizers and sometime also with open llm models. The clang is pretty good, the llms also hallucinate on that too.
Code review is a much better use case than writing code for llm s, but still require a grain of salt.
Exactly… Using the app is the straightforward way, but you can plug the cable and download raw data files.
Garmin bike computers connected via USB cables let you download any activity…
Honestly in the sport tracking world, Garmin devices can be used 100% offline, don’t need online activation and all data is accessible (raw) with an USB cable.
Its still proprietary software on very expensive hardware.
Zfs for some reasons is always loved by the self hosting experts.
Personally I don’t like it because it’s over complicated and not officially part of the Linux kernel.
20y of self hosting for me means Linux software raid (raid1 then moved to raid5) and mostly ext4, recently (=last 2 years) upgraded to btrfs on my data raid. Btrfs at least is integrated in the Linux kernel and while has some drawbacks (don’t do raid with btrfs, put btrfs on MD raid instead) its been super rock solid.
I would have kept ext4, but thought why not try btrfs, and it’s been so smooth that I had no reasons to go back.
