Also, canonical decided to try and solve the same ‘problem’ in a different, equally convoluted way.

Probably depends on how much effort you want to put into it. Probably works in some distros with certain repos, but won’t work out of the box everywhere.

Valve did some work to support it in steam deck, it’s going to work its way upstream hopefully.

Red Hat used to pay the main ones, not sure if that’s still the case post-IBM acquisition.

You can use your own domain and set a CNAME to any of the DDNS ones. So eg. home.mydomain.com can be a CNAME for oliper.ddns.com.

Nah, it was actually a bunch of half naked people holding hands initially.

Didn’t know that was a thing. I really need to look at that plugin repository.

Ooh, thanks. So big things for us users seem to be transcoding improvements and audio normalisation. And a bunch of security stuff that’s important for people that run this on the public internet.

I was going to ask OP to link to the thread, but it looks like he hasn’t actually posted anything after that: https://mastodon.social/@hetisniels/112044929265622327

Yeah, I’ve used Nextcloud for this in the past too, but it looks like there’s a ton of other options as well judging by this thread.

Oh ok, so he’s taking it down temporarily while he’s going through the legal process?

Anyone that wants to take the legal heat can just fork the projects and continue hosting it. I don’t blame the original developer for not wanting to deal with it, even if the legal threat sounds very ridiculous (a project like this would be the opposite of financial harm, how many of us check if something works with home assistant before buying a device?).

The EU really needs to start doing something about this kind of shit.

Switching user agents isn’t going to get around DRM implementations. Anyway, that was for specific streaming services I’m not using any more, so I haven’t needed to use Chrome in months.

No, Chrome. Specifically for the DRM stuff to access streaming services and casting, things that don’t quite work well with Firefox (by design). I use libre stuff when I can, but I make exceptions, I know not everyone uses Linux that way.

I typically end up installing chrome for the odd website that does require it. Firefox is still my daily driver on all platforms though, not sure what Mozilla is thinking with their future plans.

It’s probably easiest to look at one of the many plugins for WordPress that allow you to use AWS S3 for image storage (and make sure you’re resizing images when serving them to users even if you want the high-res ones still available for download).

A bit more advanced would be adding cloudfront before your S3 bucket to save on bandwidth costs.

Be careful with AWS though, you’ll need to keep an eye on costs, and you should really think about whether you want to keep uploading your images at full resolution instead of resizing them first so they’re optimised for display on a website.

I’m only just starting to use home assistant, but what are the kind of things people do when integrating their car with HA? Is this for stuff like controlling charging speed with your solar panels?
