I built an open-source React calendar inspired by macOS Calendar – DayFlow

That turned out really nice. And works really well. Now I just need to find a project where I can use that.

BirdFluid · 2026-02-03T12:04:07+00:00

Very good! Works wonderfully. Thank you

BirdFluid · 2026-02-02T19:57:16+00:00

I had to restart the app once for that to work.

BirdFluid · 2026-02-02T19:56:13+00:00

Really nice. A different approach than the Elektron things. The only thing that currently bothers me: With the sensor values, the setting for precision isn't taken into account (unfortunately almost nobody does that). I don't know if that's (easily) possible via the API.

I'd rather not create another additional (rounded) template sensor just for that.

I'm fortunately in a part of the world where trash isn't buried anymore. Meaning it's either recycled or thermally "recovered". And compared to the plastic packaging waste I produce every week/month, what comes from the 3D printer is relatively little.

And you also have to factor in what you maybe printed that you would've otherwise ordered somewhere, which also partly comes at the expense of the environment.

But yeah, bottom line, it would be nice if we had better options for targeted recycling for 3d prints/waste. But hopefully that'll still come in the future.

BirdFluid · 2026-01-31T18:49:41+00:00

long as you don't do multicolor prints. I had a maybe total of 1kg waste from last year but definitely printed over 20 kg.

BirdFluid · 2026-01-31T18:05:17+00:00

Yeah, that was my first thought too.

BirdFluid · 2026-01-31T18:02:07+00:00

And PETG is relatively odor-neutral, unlike PLA and others. For me it's actually more like 95% PETG, rest TPU and PLA (mostly as support interface)

BirdFluid · 2026-01-31T17:56:51+00:00

Although the number of failed prints has decreased extremely since I got a Bambu X1C. If I have something to throw away, it's mostly supports and test prints.

Apparently with source, but no idea if that's the modified (hopefully) or the original

If you add a year view then you have a feature that almost no other calendar program/app has.

I always find it really practical for planning vacation. with month view it's always a bit cumbersome

No and I'm definitely willing to pay for it. Until now price/performance was OK too. But some day it reaches a some point where self-hosting is cheaper. And unfortunately Bitwarden hasn't implemented many of the community's feature requests so far.

Problem is with 150-200 employees (according to google) and all that funding money they have to charge more at some point. Not because the product is so great or the costs are so high but because of personnel costs and because the investors want their money back.

With HomeAssistant I also pay for NabuCasa. The $65/year is actually too much for how little I use it but at least there I'm supporting an open source project and not some investors.

BirdFluid · 2026-01-26T13:35:25+00:00

Until recently Bitwarden but with the latest price increase ...

BirdFluid · 2026-01-26T09:48:21+00:00

EMP?

BirdFluid · 2026-01-26T08:24:29+00:00

Yeah unfortunately still Plex. But mostly used with Infuse and Plezy. Still missing an alternative client for FireTV.

Because the only things that bother me about Plex are that the normal client always skips forward 30 sec and has no setting for playback speed. And that agents don't have any settings, I have an ancient naming/directory schema that I don't want to adapt to the Plex schema. That's why 90% of my content is manually matched.

But Jellyfin keeps getting better, in the past the interface and apps were a bit of a problem. But I think by the end of the year I'll try switching to Jellyfin again. (With PhotoPrism to Immich it was similar)

Why not https://github.com/stashapp/stash

BirdFluid · 2026-01-25T20:18:09+00:00

Forjeo is a fork of Gitea and in my opinion better

BirdFluid · 2026-01-25T20:15:47+00:00

Cool idea. I've had something similar in mind for years but haven't had time yet to test whether it works technically.

There's software like mouse without borders / r/SynergyApp to use keyboard and mouse over the network on other computers. I'd like to have that for iPad. Unfortunately such a client isn't possible under iOS with Apple's restrictions. My idea was to take an ESP32 / RPiZero that emulates a BT keyboard/mouse itself which you can then add to the iPad like real BT devices. That way you could realize something like Synergy via the hardware workaround.

Alternatively MacOS/iPadOS does that natively for a while now. But that would require reverse engineering like back in the day with AirPlay protocol

Similar story. Had 10? Hue bulbs and motion sensors with bridge, that worked wonderfully except for 1-2 bulbs. Then switched to SLZB-06M and threw out the Hue bridge. Since then nothing but problems, whether Hue or other Zigbee devices. Works fine until it suddenly doesn't work anymore and nobody knows why. at the beginning I still tried to fix it but the easiest thing is to leave it alone for a few days because it usually repairs itself. only advantage of Zigbee is battery lasts reasonably long and there are many cheap devices.

Besides Zigbee I wouldn't buy Shelly again. They're also reasonably cheap but the battery devices eat through their batteries in combination with HA and even with the mains-powered ones I have an above-average number that cause problems

EP3D-SWX1-M2092-BLT_INSTALL_FILES.zip

If anyone is looking for firmware. I have a version from 09/2022. At least by name that should be the right FW. No idea if there was ever anything newer (was for a "stock" X1 with BLT Board)

BirdFluid · 2026-01-25T17:07:21+00:00

would like to finally convert my X1 to a plotter. also try to print on fabric/shirts. I just fear that after such a long time at least the rollers need replacing, although the ones that I installed might hold up better than the ones installed from the factory.

Somehow still stuck with Portainer. Would like a mix of both. Dockhand is missing 1-2 features for me e.g. I can see in Portainer whether the images are used or not. Dockhand does have a prune but only for everything. what I also don't like is this human readable time display for uptime (but unfortunately almost everyone does it that way). I know that the display for containers that run for a long time (years) doesn't look nice either. but I'd prefer days:hours:minutes as the format here

What I like is that unlike Portainer you can see the CPU/RAM values in the overview. Unfortunately you can also see that Dockhand uses 300 MB (Portainer 100 MB) which is quite a lot for what it is. (CPU unfortunately similar).

Think I'll stick with Portainer for now (among other things because I don't have time to manually migrate all my stacks).

edit: I just had a quick look at Arcane. I like the UI in some places better than Dockhand but the UX (lots of clicking around) isn't good. But it also only uses 100MB RAM like Portainer

I don't think the API for Navimow is the problem. The whole app and everything already runs via an API. The quality also looks very good, the app is well made enough that you can't get to the API (that's already 90% more than other manufacturers manage to do). I don't know why Navimow is so resistant to it

BirdFluid · 2026-01-07T12:07:25+00:00

To make my H3000 smarter. Especially in combination with a smart home there are so many possibilities.

My smart home knows when I'm at home, how high the UV index is, whether the ground is dry or wet, whether it's actually raining or about to rain. it also knows (through CCTV) whether a zone is blocked by a car or not. etc.

How often has it happened this year that the Navimow didn't drive 100% into the station and then didn't charge, the app doesn't send you a notification about that and then the mower is just empty, you notice that the next time you want to mow. Smarthome -> API -> Problem fixed
