  • This only applies if you use their bridge and the bridge is connected to the internet. If you do what I said in my comment (zigbee2mqtt addon with dongle) then there is no path for them to collect. The Zigbee2Mqtt addon allows for firmware updates.

  • I found that Phillips Hue bulbs works great with the Zigbee2Mqtt addon (and poorly/not at all with ZHA integration) and the $25 Sonoff dongle. Home Assistant sells their own dongle which I would imagine works even better too.

    Hue bulbs are more expensive than most, but people seem to say they have the best color consistency.

    If you want to stick with Wifi you could probably just hook up Tasmota plugs to your existing lamps.

  • Great read, I was unfamiliar with this publication. Thanks for sharing.

  • This is brilliant and a big reason why subscribing to subreddits via rss sucks

  • I like that unlike Chrome, Firefox mobile can use all the extensions.

  • Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye

    Jump

  • I love that they changed their name to show how serious they were about the metaverse being the future of tech and it never even came close to being a thing.

  • CasaOS or YunoHost are great places to start and hold your hand the whole way, while allowing you to tip toe into more advanced setups later on as you learn.

  • I love this idea.

  • Very cool thanks for pointing them out, I will look into them.

  • Reddit’s CEO says r/popular sucks, and it’s going away, also Reddit is limiting the amount of popular subreddits a person can moderate

  • Honestly wondering: why are you on the fediverse if you prefer centralized social media?

  • Can you explain more? What are ublue scripts and what makes them so handy? I'm still new to this space.

  • Rare W for Spez, he's absolutely right and this is a very smart move for the platform as it exists as an ecosystem.

    I still strongly believe the federated/nonprofit model (Piefed/Lemmy/Mbin) is superior and have no plans on going back to Reddit, but presenting Reddit the platform as a collection of communities and not one homogeneous content feed is a genuinely positive move and sets them apart from other platforms.

  • To my knowledge Bazzite is basically SteamOS with more flexibility under the hood if you're looking for it. By default it boots right into big picture mode. I imagine if you get an HDMI-CEC dongle it would work great as an HTPC once you get Big Picture set up with the streaming apps.

  • The Enshittification of Plex Is Kicking Off, Starting with Free Roku Users

    Jump

  • I'm a Jellyfin guy, but charging money for a product or service isn't what "enshittification" means. As the article says this is just removing a loophole for legacy apps on older devices. The pricing model hasn't changed.
