I literally just updated mine two days ago 😂

Ah yes, I forgot about the merge ability. Pretty sweet protocol, honestly.

I only just recently discovered btop. Stis entirely too much fun

Keepass has native support for ftp, http, https, and webdav, and with a plugin supports scp, sftp, and ftps through the native save/open from url. There are even plugins for proton drive, google drive, onedrive, s3, box, dropbox… etc.

Important distinction: The OG KeePass desktop program supports that. KeePass XC (popular fork for Linux users, which includes OP) does not, and the maintainers have loudly rejected any attempts to add it.

It’s the only reason I still run the OG KeePass on my work laptop; webdav is the only way I can access my password database within the restrictions of my employer’s policies. I would prefer to run XC.

So I’d there a server + local system? Like Joplin… You can write notes all day with no server at all. The server just Synchronizes it all. In the past I used syncthing and I will continue using it. One thought was to have an automated backup from Vaultgarden that was automatically synced to my various devices as a Keypass database.

This is exactly how I use KeePass, and is fully supported as well. Set it up, import the VW database (might need some fuckery to do so, I’ve not played with VW), place the KeePass database in a location that makes sense to you on your device, then sync that folder via Syncthing to your other devices.

You’re using Linux, obviously, and the OG KeePass program was never written for Linux, so you’ll want a fork called KeePass XC. Unfortunately, the XC team doesn’t support plugins, but that should be a non-issue if you’re using Syncthing. Just point XC at the folder that’s being synced and you’re golden.

What other platforms are you using? Android? iOS? Windows? There are many forks of KeePass available for every platform. they are all cross-compatible and can utilize the same database.

I was lucky that somehow the database was available offline.

That’s how BW/VW is supposed to work. It retains a local database that syncs with the main server.

Some commenter will point it out and will get enough upvotes to be visible on first glance. It’s not perfect but good enough for me.

I don’t necessarily disagree here, however there is always the edge case of a certain overly-vocal group being 100% anti-AI, and that any usage of AI is considered a crime against humanity.

I’m not part of that group per se, but I also want full disclosure. If you used AI to get things going and handled it yourself from there, that’s one thing. Constant commits from Claude or whatever is a whole different bucket of shit I refuse to touch.

Yes, please. I don’t like seeing a “neat handy application” only to find that 95% of it was coded by Claude, the fact of which is either buried, or not even mentioned until you visit the repo and see that it’s the top contributor.

HAOS has more support for running additional add-ons/applications next to HA itself, on the same machine. In my case, that would be a Lenovo M710q Tiny loaded with an i7-7700T and 8GB RAM. Plenty of resources to spare for things like my Zigbee coordinator, NoLongerEvil (Nest thermostat), go2rtc (webcam shenanigans), Mosquitto broker (MQTT), Node-Red, Music Assistant, Aircast (for apple stuff), and other things.

TL;DR - It’s mostly personal preference. If you already have a bunch of containers running for home stuff, then by all means, run HA in Docker. But if you prefer the “all in one box” approach, go for HAOS. I don’t mind the “all in one box” approach, as long as it’s related to the core function of HA.

So we took a look trying to figure out why her phone wasn’t giving HA a consistent location… She likes to turn off the camera/mic/location killswitches 😂

Quick fix haha, but at least we know that Graphene is doing the thing that it’s known to do!

I want to say I enabled it, but I’ll have to check again.

Does increasing the poll rate affect the battery usage much?

Home Assistant location doesn’t quite play nice with GOS. My wife and I have been looking for a Life360 replacement ourselves. She runs Graphene, and it’ll grab location periodically, but it’s not consistent.

T2 started in 2018. The A1706/7 were only 2016-2017.

Does your A1707 have the touch bar? My wife has an A1706 w/touch bar that she wants me to Linux-ify.

I’m solidly in the LMDE camp as well; running LMDE 7 on all of my personal machines. Love it.

on Mint Debian the speakers work but only display sounds from booting up or other computing actions, can’t play sound from music files or video, can’t even plug in headphones

That sounds like a driver issue, maybe with pipewire or whatever it uses. I’m genuinely curious to see what you’ve tried already, seeing as I’m going to be doing this at some point…

I’m aware, but some devices I use regularly like an iPhone, work computer, etc, are limited in their capacity to run it.

PC to phone:

• USB cable
• KDE Connect
• Nextcloud
• Syncthing

PC to PC:

• USB drive
• SFTP
• SSH
• Nextcloud
• Syncthing

A non-required general use field that is entirely optional.

Yes, this absolute bare-minimum effort deserves all the outrage 🙄

Edit: actually no, this feature wasn’t useless overall. It was useless for age verification, but great for parental control. The moment a kid doesn’t have root access to the computer, a parent can put whatever age to block the kid from whatever features the parent wants to block them from. Think about it, self enforcing age verification doesn’t give power to governments, it gives it to the root user of the computer, aka parents. It’s something that actually works.

That’s absolutely a valid use case. But I just use timekpr-next on my kids’ non-root accounts and that solves it.

Nobody actually using computer systems in corporate environments wanted AI in the first place.

This is just pandering to executives who are paid entirely too much.

Yeah, see this is why I went with Linux Mint Debian Edition instead of Ubuntu-flavored Linux Mint. I know the Mint guys strip out most of the less-desirable stuff that ships with Ubuntu, but at that point you may as well have just started with Debian. Seems easier to go forward from straight Debian instead of working backwards from a slopified Debian-based distro.

Canonical is just another shitty corpo using FOSS to masquerade as a “good guy”.

I have an HP Spectre x360 running KDE Plasma w/Wayland on LMDE7. Its fine in tablet mode. Scrolling works as expected and it has a virtual keyboard as well.
