I did use esphome for something similar. It uses a yaml file to generate C++ code for you and it works like a charm (in 99% of the cases). Very easy integration in home assistant and it has support for the usual home automation peripherals.

True, it's very busy.

Usually they make an estimate of the number of visitors based on the number of connections to the fosdem wifi.

Valetudo is an awesome project. But indeed the main developer's refusal to add multi-map support is its biggest disadvantage. (But of course it's a maintainers fair right)

Do you mind sharing your multi-map fork?

I'd choose Home Assistant to use these ONVIF cameras on Linux. It's arguably less elegant, but will probably be better maintained.

As a long time Linux user, I recently got confronted with the Windows group policy editor.

You can use it to disable (blacklist) all the Windows crapware (xbox, etc). Or in the extreme case, whitelist only specific files.

I still prefer a text config file over the GUI, but this thing is insanely powerful.

The list of other apps included contains an interesting app: Camscanner

The app is apparently Chinese (also mentioned on the wikipedia page [0])

IMHO making an app like this is really smart to try to gain access confidential documents when they are scanned.

Similarly, I find it weird that there is no direct route from Lille/Tournai to Rotterdam through Belgium. There is a huge detour over Maastricht.

Maybe this part of Belgium was not sufficiently under Roman control and too unsafe to travel through.

For a small sports club: yes.

We announce events there, so it has added value for the end user.

Main reason to do so: social media platforms (read: instagram and certainly facebook) burry your posts if you don't pay up for "promotion".

True, but there is a difference between being able to afford something and actually wanting to pay for it.

> Austria has pretty bad coffee.

I agree, I traveled once from Italy towards Austria. And the difference could not be bigger. Also aggravated by the fact I payed a ridiculous amount for it (IIRC 4 euro in Austria, 1 euro in Italy)

I stopped using the default "eco" program and switched to the faster "auto" program on my dishwasher since watching this video on how these programs actually work:

TLDwatch: eco programs use only one batch of water, others use two and that results in cleaner dishes with the added benefit of a faster program.

I did notice this first hand when trying trying to play an older game under Linux natively (Enemy Territory: Quake Wars). The Linux binaries refused to function (IIRC due to incompatible user space ABIs), but the Windows binaries worked perfectly using Wine.

For C++ you can use boost units. It is basically built up of template magic which only compiles when your units are correct. The disadvantage: when it doesn't, it explodes in a huge template error. But when it does, you can be pretty certain (depending on the actual calculation) that your code is correct. It is also fully verified at compile time, so there is no runtime overhead.

There is even the xcore cpu by xmos has CSP support in hardware.

I did buy the motorized curtains. It is quite expensive, but works pretty well. I'm really happy about them, nothing beats natural light to wake up.

A friend of mine had a similar problem with her Spotify account after she canceled her facebook account. Self-made Spotify playlists usually can have quite a bit of a sentimental value. I can only image what services the OP would have lost access to in case he/she used social login for all signups.

AFAIK the elliptical orbit shown is not (easily) possible (source: Kerbal Space Center) I think they want to show a "vertical" orbit around L2 (where "horizontal" would be earth's orbit around the sun). It's slightly better visible in the youtube movie.

The reason I chose borg over restic is there are at least two commercial providers (useful for an offsite backup). borgbase.com and rsync.net too iirc

I never wrote a blog post about it, but it is triggered when I plug in my charger and the phone is on Wifi. There are hooks in termux to do so. Thanks for the suggestion to write a blog post about it ;)

I do backup my android phone using borg installed via termux.

I tend to agree.

I've been using Duolingo for almost 2 years now. It has learned me to understand the language a bit.

But don't ask me to build a proper sentence myself. I'm utterly lost in that case, because it doesn't teach you having a real conversation. That includes even the most simple real life things like ordering at a restaurant and then complain that your food is cold.

IIRC it's emulating the docker socket and its API. As a consequence, you do need to have a podman daemon running.

I've been happily using (self hosted) ttrss for years. On PC the web interface works well. On my Android phone, I have the app installed (the paid version).

There is an "Iron Harvest" by Belgian and French farmers each year after plowing their fields.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_harvest

In Ypres, Belgium there is still a measurable increase of copper in the soil. This was investigated by a Belgian university in 2008 [0].

More anecdotal evidence is that you'll often see old ammunition next to freshly plowed fields.

Also, adding complex robots adds the need for more qualified (hence more expensive) personnel. It's better to have only have to recruit and pay "bricklayer"-profile instead of the rare "can fix complex robots and is a bricklayer"-profile.

In a car, all electronic doors have a mechanical emergency release latch, specifically to prevent you being trapped in your car when the battery dies.

Alternatively, a fire extinguisher is pretty effective in "opening" side windows.

Value pricing at it's finest. If the customer saves $1000/month per device, they'll happily pay the $100/month. As it still saves them $900. They don't care how complex/simple the ML implementation is.

> The main reason I use btrfs is the flexibility. I agree, and I as a small home user, I really like the RAID using different sized disks. E.g. running a raid 1 on three disks: 2TB+4TB+6TB. It also offers the possibility to increase the storage size over time when drives fail by replacing them with a larger disk.

I can recommend the bootlin course to get started with kernel development. https://bootlin.com/training/kernel/

Additionally, I often use new drivers "published" on Phoronix as example. They are often quite simple. The complexity usually lies in the reverse engineering the hardware, not really in the driver development.
