Image failed to load: that's mildly infuriating!

I'll look into this. ๐Ÿ™

 

Of the 3 buttons in the red-outlined-box on this Brother printer control panel, which does what function? Grrr!

I selfhost Cryptpad, but it sounds like it may be more than you're looking for.

90% less than 900% more?

Hooray for anything non-political!

Ah. Thanks for the explanation .

Is it not possible to use thunderbird (or any email client) wirh tutu (or any email provider)? I thought you could plug in your email provider's smtp and imap/pop information and your account credentials into any app.

Did...did you start a lemmy community for people to talk about not talking on lemmy...on lemmy?

It served as the inspiration for Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle 1

I have a numebr of backup systems going on, but if i take "cloud" to mean "offsite" then my sution to that is a proxmox backup server set up in my home (great for proxmox PVEs but you can back up anything to them) and my friend 3000 miles away also has one in his home. We each set up sync jobs so our local backups are also stored on the remote proxmox backup server.

You posted something in the wrong community? That's mildly annoying. Oh but wait, that's this community, so i guess you posted it in the right community, which is not mildly annoying. But that means it's in the wrong community, which is mildly annoying...

Well, no I'm not. You're right. I miscalculated how much data was needed for video streaming. Even multiple simultaneous hi-res streams should stream fine with 1GbE.

But as an abstracted idea, you might want high throughput within your LAN for some reaosn, even if an ISP doesn't offer 10Gbps to your house.

 

Can someone please paste the configuration yaml for an M5Stack Atom Echo that is currently working as a voice assistant satellite for Home Assistant using open wake word? (remember to redact your private data)

I installed a bunch of these Echos following these instructions back when they were first introduced. They have tiny little speakers which are essentially useless, but I routed the output sound to a media player in the same room. At that time the only option was to use open-wake-word - Nabu Casa even provided instructions and virtual-gpu resources to train your own wakeword, which I did.

The Echos worked great with my own custom wakeword for a long time!

Then sometime within the past year they stopped working. Their "wake word" entity is unavailable. I know Home Assistant came out with micro-wake-word, but I wasn't aware they ended (or broke) the open-wake-word functionality. I'd love to get my Echos working again - I'd prefer to use open-wake-word, but if the only way they're going to work now is with a pre-set wakeword, that's better than no voice assist at all!

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

I want to install smart blinds on 4 windows, from small (2'x3') to kind of large (4'x5').

I need them blinds to be local-only and integrate into Home Assistant.

I'm looking at SmartWings, but blinds with a z-wave motor for one of my large windows would cost Just under $400. That seems a bit expensive to me (especially considerin that I got my current non-motorized, non-smart blinds for those windows for like $50 each - and they're good blinds!). Is that just what smart blinds are going to cost? Or did I land on an expense option?

Do you have a preferred make or model of local-only smart blinds?

Question about gum (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)
 

Is anyone familiar with gum?

I have a simple:

while true; do
    CHOICE=$(gum choose "one" "two" "three")
    case "$CHOICE" in
        "one")
            <do something>
        "two")
            <do something>
        "three")
            <do something>
    esac
done

If the user hits ESC, gum displays "nothing selected" and exits.

Is there a way to disable the "nothing selected"? I tried redirecting 2>/dev/null but it suppresses the entire menu. I also tried adding $'\x1b' to the case, but it did nothing.

I also tried adding:

    if [ -z "$CHOICE" ]; then
        exit 0
    fi

directly after CHOICE=$(gum choose...).

No dice.

 

Within the past couple months, I saw someone's pet-project where they were cobbling together a self-hostable FOSS app/service to allow people to collaborate on travel planning. It included note taking, images, possibly some functionality around dates, and a map to drop pins and see a route (I'm not sure which backend but I would guess OSM).

Now I can't find it. :(

Does anyone use an app like this? Does anyone have any recommendations? My needs are loose - my only requirements are a FOSS license and to be self-hostable.

Thanks for ideas/suggestions.

I used to use Quicken long ago but have been using Moneydance for many years to manage my personal finances. But Moneydance is propietary software and I prefer FOSS now. What's your preferred finance management software?

Thing I need it to do:

  • manage different accounts (common types are banks, credit cards, loans, assets)
  • have basic reporting (e.g., categorized expenses per time period)
  • preferably uses tags
  • export or copy reports or data - could be excel or csv or something that can be pasted or imported into spreadsheets
  • self-hostable with a web app

I'm not a fan of software that's budget-focused. I don't mind it having some budgeting functionality, but I don't want opinionated software to force me to manage my money a certain way. I just want felxible software to help me manage my software how I want to manage it.

I'm wary of source-available/freemium/dual-licensed/open-core licenses. It can't hurt to suggest such apps if you like them and I'll take a look, but I think it's not likely that I'll buy into that philosophy.

So what software do you use and like?

I requested to schedule an annual wellness exam with my doctor, they said "She's booking out into 2026, would you still like to schedule?"

They're scheduling out a YEAR in advance!

I realize this is likely a regional issue to some degree, but I have a hunch that in the US (the country I'm in) it's very difficult to get a appointments for non-urgent issues. It's also incredibly difficult in my area to be able to find a doctor that's accepting new patients!

Why can't medical facilities afford to expand to support the demand? This isn't meant to open a discussion about healthcare - it's just a rant. Grrr!

Wake word vanished? (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)
 

After a recent update to ESPHome, my ATOM Echos no longer show a wake word in Home Assistant and the wake word field isn't even editable:

And indeed they aren't responding to me speaking the wake word.

Has anyone encountered this? Does anyone know of a fix or has a suggestion?

I've got this command in a bash script:

TEST=$(curl -o /dev/null -s -k -w "%{http_code}" -u "${USERNAME}:${PASSWORD}" "${URL}/dashboard/")
echo "${TEST}" #debug

When the script runs, the output is "000".

When I run the same curl command from the shell, the output is "200" (which is correct, since the URL is valid).

I verified that the USERNAME, PASSWORD, and URL vars are being passed to the subshell.

I'd appreciate it if you could point out what I'm doing wrong here. :)

UPDATE: This has been solved.

Assistance creating a sensor (lemmy.thewooskeys.com)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

Hi.

This works fine in the template editor:

{% if states('sensor.apollo_mtr_1_cca750_presence_target_count') | int > 0 %}
  Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_1_occupancy', 'on') %}
  Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_2_occupancy', 'on') %}
  Detected
{% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_3_occupancy', 'on') %}
  Detected
{% else %}
  Not Detected
{% endif %}

But when I try to create a binary_sensory from it in configuration.yaml, I get "'binary_sensor' is undefined":

template:
  - binary_sensor:
    - name: "Lounge Presence"
      state: >-
        {% if states('sensor.apollo_mtr_1_cca750_presence_target_count') | int > 0 %}
          Detected
        {% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_1_occupancy', 'on') %}
          Detected
        {% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_2_occupancy', 'on') %}
          Detected
        {% elif is_state('binary_sensor.apollo_msr_2_c7bfe8_radar_zone_3_occupancy', 'on') %}
          Detected
        {% else %}
          Not Detected
        {% endif %}
      device_class: presence

I'm probably using incorrect syntax or something. Can anyone help me with this?
