Ah! Fantastic. Thanks !

Initially, Dirigera will only support Matter device types that Ikea currently offers — so, no robot vacuums, door locks, or fridges. However, Granath says that as they launch more smart home products, the hub will be updated to support more device types.

Am I reading this right? Is there a filter possible where Ikea can decide to only accept Ikea ~mac addresses? If so, can they continue to ignore the wider product space?

… or will an Ikea thread hub automatically accept rando thread units as per standard and they’re just using really bad sentence structure?

But why?

I a world where we can’t really be sure what’s in an upgrade, a super-clean start that burns any ephemeral data is about the best way to ensure a consistent start.

And consistency gives reliability, as much as we can get without validation (validation is “compare to what’s correct”, but consistency is “try to repeat whatever it was”).

Not a word, my dude.

I saw this and was pleased, actually. The relative opacity of containers makes them a validation challenge and hides versioning from standard tooling used for large host populations and/or enterprise.

Even if they sparkle.

Docker-dependent? It looks fantastic, but I have no containers in my home-lab – and it’s based on my time managing OS security for an OS. I’m stuck living vicariously through the rest of you, so report back often.

Postiz is a social media scheduling tool supporting 19 social media channels:

Thank you for including this summary. It’s surprising how often that’s left out and it’s always valuable.

Sadly, it’s container-dependent, it seems. Also, it’s asking for supply-chain exploits and violating ISO27002 with pnpm, but for a PoC setup it looks excellent.

If there’s an article with words, can you pass it along? I’m not inclined to go on a Google website and listen to someone slowwwwly tell me why Google is bad.

Life’s too short to listen to people who talk slow.

Yes, technically it’s still on the tiny screen of your phone with a really bad ux to make it go, sure. But you see how ‘went away’ is both true for web and effectively true for phone app? You do see that, right?

3 [months] later they asked me if it’s ok if we talk on WhatsApp because it’s too bothersome to use two different apps.

Hey, remember in the age of about 9 different messenger protocols, when Pidgin allowed you to message people on the platform they preferred without too much fuss?

The “things we lost in the post-y2k culling of clue and mentorship” box is running out of space.

Safe binaries we can validate with signed manifests, or just ISO27002-violating FlatSnappImage spooge?

feels like a long term commitment

my discord server

as if the two ideas aren’t the same.

If you do it right, too, the private server is $0 in continuing labour.

Please, for the love of god, look at other things instead of Ansible.

Definitely do openTofu for infrastructure and deployment, but for configuration of VMs please learn about puppet, saltstack, chef(cinc.sh) and especially mgmtConfig .

Ansible, by comparison, better matches what we were doing in 2002 at 1/10th the speed, and it’s like pascal levels of wordy.

Learning about options and finding one that works well for you will often give you a much better experience than fucking Ansible.

If you do abandon all hope, though, then go ahead and do Ansible; but remember if you do: there are better options, and hating Ansible doesn’t mean you hate automation.

Is immich still container-dependent?

a software

Nope. That word doesn’t work like that.

I maintained an open-source app for many years. It leveraged a crypto library but allowed for different algos, or none at all for testing.

Some guy wrote a CVE about “when I disable all crypto it doesn’t use crypto”. So there’s that. It’s the only CVE we got before or during my time.

But even we got one.

For those unfamiliar, Open WebUI is a self-hosted AI interface, which you can use with local models with Ollama, OpenRouter, etc.

How is this simple summary missing from the project page itself? Was that so hard?

1. install gitlab-runner on your VM
2. hook to a few projects as available runners
3. do that again

We have deprecated […] Home Assistant’s Supervised installation method, which involves running your own operating system, then installing the Supervisor and other requirements on top of that.

Tell us you can’t architect software like a first-year without using those words. Proper packaging has been out for 30 years.

My foray into self-hosted home automation was set to begin, but if they can’t release software like adults then fuc–uh, good luck to them.
