I’m not sure why the author chose this sentence and why you are picking it out. The author provided no evidence of it. Instead, when you read on it seems to be an ownership problem. People rotating in and out for a year on a ten year project. You can be the most competent and skilled worker, if you don’t get the opportunity to become invested in the success of a project, of course you won’t see the project become successful.

I love Linux. I use it wherever I can. I don’t use Linux on my primary gaming workstation, for the simple reason that the display drivers, specifically mixed extended desktop and screen mirroring is just straight up ass.

I think the design philosophy is that each tile represents no more than a single entity at a time, and compact enough that you can arrange the entities in a section to represent a device, room or group.

In your example, perhaps the room also has a humidifier and/or heater. So in reality, the room temperature entity isn’t truly tightly coupled with the fan. The heater and or humidifier are also a part of the whole.

With tiles, you are in complete control to arrange groups of entities that represent a larger whole, in whatever scope you like.

Python is just distancing itself from JS.

I’m using off-the shelf CT-clamps with an ESP. Obviously it’s a fair amount more work, but it’s cheaper than a commercial solution, fully offline and no subscriptions, you know exactly what you are getting, and you can build a solution that is just the right size for your application, and infinitely modifiable if your needs change.

Surely the SVGO package can be compiled into a browser bundle.

I might look into this myself…

Does this support SVG, i.e. SVGOMG/SVGO? If not, that’s a glaring omission.

Tried a couple matter devices. Ended up having to create an account with the manufacturer. Was there truly a local option? Who knows. So far I haven’t been impressed.

I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.

This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.

My experience with TP-link matter devices is you need a TP-Link account authentication. Excuse me? Fuck off TP link. I only want local-first devices.

I spent an unhealthy amount of time on Reddit. Getting bored of Lemmy is a feature, not a bug. Embrace it.

Before I understood Docker, I used to have HA installed directly on bare metal side by side with other “desktop” apps.

To be able to access devices, HA needs many different OS-level configurations (users, startup, binding serial ports, and much more I don’t have a clue about). It was a giant mess. The bare OS configuration was polluted with HA configurations. Worse, on updating HA, not only did these configurations change, the installation of HA changed enough that every update would break HA and even the bare OS would break in some ways because of configuration conflicts.

Could this be managed properly through long term migration? Yeah, probably, but this is probably a ton of work, for which a purpose-built solution already exists: Docker. Between that and the extra layer of security afforded by dedicating an OS to HA (bare metal or virtualized), discouraging the installation of HA in a non-dedicated environment was a no brainer.

If it’s such a problem, maybe we just collectively move on to ES or TypeScript nomenclature?

This is what happens when stack overflow is used for training.

The thing holding me back is multi monitor support. It’s just atrocious on Linux (and has been for a long time). I have issues with:

• can’t duplicate screens (“not supported” huh?),
• random screen not detected,
• broken layout when screen changed,
• flickering and constant layout changes

Not sure if anyone has tips? NVIDIA and Intel displays, scarred to even try VR.

The software is not the problem. Software breaks all the time. The problem is monocultures and centralization. Building entire industry ecosystems all around a single point of failure. This is the just-in-time manufacturing supply chain disruptions and fragility all over again.

Who knew, a diverse ecosystem was a strength, not a weakness.

Not too surprising if the people making malware, and the people making the security software are basically the same people, just with slightly different business models.

I suspect rebasing makes sequential commit IDs not really work in practice.

I think this is satire. Poe’s law is stronger than ever

Terminals are powerful and flexible, but still slower than a dedicated UI to see states at a glance, issue routine commands, or do text editing.

Terminal absolutists are as insufferable as GUI purists. There is a place and time for both.
