Sorry, unfortunately can’t help you there. My matrix server is not federated, I remember back then I created an account on matrix.org specifically to read these. But maybe they got deleted in the meantime?

Anyways, I have been really happy with continuwuity, to the point that up until now, I haven’t even looked at tuwunel again. The maintainers of continuwuity seem really nice and engaged, and both from a usage and stability point of view, as well as for the actually surprisingly fast release cycle, I have no complaints. I found and fixed a bug a couple weeks ago, and the dev process was also very friendly and relaxed.

In short: while I don’t know how things are on the tuwunel side, I’m very happy to have gone with continuwuity and have high hopes for the future of the project.

FWIW, I’ve been using Music Assistant with my Sonos speakers without issue.

HOWEVER, I’m using MA as part of Home Assistant, and have the speakers configured through HA, not MA. MA just sees the speakers as HA Media Players. That works really well.

Almost 9k lunes of python in a bash script. Lmao. No.

Don’t forget the almighty:

journalctl -fu <servicename>

And yes, I am always reading that as “fuck you, service”.

Yeah, but unfortunately, the keyboard does not look promising.

I’m sure we will get there, eventually. Just an uphill battle… As always.

Hardware wise, we’re basically there. Especially since there’s multiple recently-ist mainstream phones on which you can install Linux.

UI/UX seems to be a nightmare though, plus missing software

Company went “here’s your budget for ordering a laptop. Put on it whatever you want”, and so there’s NixOS running on it :)

(To be fair though: small-ish, tech focused company)

Awesome haha. ALmost exact same setup here, incl. OpnSense with an isolation vlan in which (brother) printer and TV are.

I only use the Nvidia Shield remote. It obviously does everything on the Shield, plus tv on/off, and volume. Then I remapped the Netflix button on it to open a little quick actions menu to select brightness/picture mode levels.

Haven’t touched the lg remote since

Incredible. What a shit idea.

Anyways, kids, remember: never let your smart devices talk to the internet. We actually love our LG OLED - it’s fantastic hardware. But it has not once, and never will, get the chance to phone home.

Oh, sorry, I did not mean to imply that there re no players (there are, e.g. Finamp), just nowhere near the same level of polish, features and stability.

Jellyfin doesn’t have something comparable in the dedicated (OSS) world, but Symfonium takes a Jellyfin connection and is hands down the single best music player I have ever encountered on any platform.

Another recmendation for Actual. I spend very little time having to interact with it, because after the initial setup, all transactions are now synched from my bank accounts, and 90% are automatically classified into my categories (not by “AI” or something, you just set rules like “payments to Rewe are always groceries”).

Yeah, all of the above, but also: blacklisting Pinterest from all my searches is almost worth the ten bucks a month on its own, lmao.

Planning to host a Nix caching server, and have CI build all package and NixOS outputs on every push to git, then in turn pushing the output artifacts to the cache. Would save me a good chunk of time when tinkering with VMs that haven’t seen manual updates in a while.

Only thing is, I’m not sure how to approach building and caching NixOS configs that receive agenix secrets in their input. Obviously those should not be cached…

No, not really. The imperativity of ansible vs the declarativity of nix actually does make a big difference in practice.

You do not need your fingerprint or any other biometric to use a passkey.

You do not lose access to passkeys when you lose your device.

Yes, and I do werether the recipient also knows how to use it.

So, for like, 1% of my mails.

More like: paying someone to maintain the hardware.

Anyways.

Just FYI, your mails with a provider like Proton are not E2E encrypted unless you exclusively wrote with other Proton customers (in which case I assume they are. No idea). Otherwise it’s just encrypted at rest.

I dint really see the benefit over doing it completely yourself, not even offering metadata to a provider, and also having encryption at rest, while maintaining full compatibility with mail clients 🤔
