  • I have heard that you can flash the tufa bulbs with localTuya, so if you are comfortable with flashing your stuff, that might be an option. I haven’t tried it myself though, not quite there yet on a skill or comfort level. I now use openhab, so I don’t know if it would work the same, but openhab used the cloud only for discovery and does local control, as per the information on the binding. I don’t know if it works the same way in homeassistant.


  • from what I heard (I may be misremembering some things), there was a lemmy theme that had a file included in it with a bunch of instances (iirc) and users that got hidden (maybe it was more severe than just hiding? ). I think all this stemmed from a personal vendetta that the theme creator had.

    I apologize for any inaccuracies that may be contained within.




  • yeah. also under 30, but my family has a bunch os old technology kicking around. I used Windows Vista on an old HP Media Center PC for a while, we have a few floppy discs lying around, along with an old Compaq Presario running Windows ME. from my experience, it wasn’t so bad? currently, I’m obsessed by a Casio digital organizer from ~1969. the topic of this post has escaped me quite a while back (sorry for that), but yes, things were quite fun from back then. Is it weird/ unusual/ odd that I miss those times even though I never lived through them?






  • You could try rnote and xournalpp for PDF annotation. It works pretty well in my expeience for handwriting. I’d reccommend rnote over xournalpp since it can directly save to pdf (iirc), and you can also have an infinite canvas, so it would also be a good OneNote replacement in that department. For popup notes, inline text and stuff, okular from KDE works pretty well for me, but I have also heard good things about the GNOME pdf viewer (UI wise). Haven’t used the GNOME pdf viewer though, so can’t attest to features.









  • This exactly. I am thinking of blocking YT shorts, even if some of the information might be useful, cause there’s just a lot of AI slop, though not as much as there used to be. if before I was distasteful of AI slop, I watched this documentary from DW on it, where they showcased the slop that AI could produce, which was kind of eye opening to me. it increased my distaste for it more, it clearly showcased the soullessness of it.
