Neat, I did already transfer my budgeting to GNUCash a few months ago, but this looks shiny too.

Your use of Liberation Serif will not go unnoticed.

What compounded the issue was that one of the nixpkgs maintainers had been closing all relevant issues, which redirects the discussion to HA forums. No matter how many times it is repeated “we at NixOS have no intention on putting extra work on the developer”, the actions speak differently.

One or more maintainers later apologized, judging downthread it seems this was mostly resolved amicably between the people involved. No reason to get upset about it again three years later.

His code breaking something, or him not understanding a system he’s not involved with doesn’t mean he is obligated to listen to complaints or fix it for free.

The SAMBA is sounding real quiet today…

In Canada, external hard drives of 8-20TB capacity show up every now and then for a rate of C$20/TB (US$14.50) so it won’t take more than 3 months to offset that cost. As a backup, online s3 storage might be reasonable.

Right now I just play with things at a level that I don’t care if they pop out of existence tomorrow.

If you want to be truly safe (at an individual level, not an institutional level where there’s someone with an interest in fucking your stuff up), you need to make sure things are recoverable unless 3 completely separate things go wrong at the same time (an outage at a remote data centre, your server fails and your local backup fails). Very unlikely for all 3 to happen simultaneously, but 1 is likely to fail and 2 is forseeable, so you can fix it before the 3rd also fails.

Woohoo! Always great to read a success story!

Disclaimer I don’t know the ins and outs of HA nor have I used it.

I’m not sure if you have the automatic lock/unlock part figured out but that’s the part I can’t help with.

In terms of detecting when kid comes home, some ideas:

A low power esp32 board coded to connect to your home network, then if the device name or MAC address is discovered on the network, or have the device send a message every 10 seconds or when a button is pressed.

NFC card and reader in front of the door, can be “hard wired” rather than over wifi if you prefer. The card doesn’t run out of battery but access still can be assigned or revoked if lost.

A passcode: many hardware store doorlocks offer this, if the main problem is your kid losing keys. Then just do automation inside the house as you see fit from motion detectors or whatever your heart desires.

E: a few people ITT don’t like to have fun thinking of ideas how to use home automation, even if it’s unnecessary.

The one app I can’t stand as a snap is firefox, it took a minute to navigate to the first webpage every time I start up. The rest are or more less fine I think, but flatpak meets my needs for most other applications.

Firebox to run my Firefox. Other servers I’ve dedicated to hosting that I don’t interact regularly with I have been less creative with, usually my username and something to do with the server.

I lol’d at Evergreen. Excellent choice.

Woe is me, I can’t install other operating systems on my work computer. I’m being paid for every hour Microsoft bugs me or refuses to do what I want it though so, oh well. More time to shitpost and vent on Lemmy!

It’s to puts stuff before the game run command.

Normally if you just add options in that box like -fullscreen they appear after the run command.

Yeah, needing to use Microsoft Office for everything at work is a damn pain. This one time I am trying to close Word, but then I must have clicked the top right X one too many times so the “You can’t close Word until the Closing… dialog is dismissed” dialog pops up, which itself interrupts the Closing dialog…

What’s even good about Bedrock edition? Been playing since the 1.7.x days, and Java edition has been consistently superior in my view. If nothing else, it’s better because the table with the floating book is called the Enchanting Table.

I think it’s one of the coolest Linux/FOSS-themed mascots that deserves being returned to the spotlight.

Apple may introduce it again, but not before they get some trademark word for it like “Secure Ascension™”.

May not be the same issue as you, but fullscreen apps have been the most finicky for me, when they lose focus they become stuck minimized. Borderless window usually fixes that issue for me.
