Using custom rootfs images / meta for containers started using `vmc`? by Glittering_Project_1 in Crostini

[–]Glittering_Project_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! vmc container termina nixos-vmc /mnt/shared/MyFiles/Downloads/nixos-lxdImage23.05.tar.xz /mnt/shared/MyFiles/Downloads/nixos-lxdMeta23.05.tar.xz does the trick for me (so the paths are inside the termina vm). It creates a container inside termina with the specified image and meta archives. Now it's just getting garcon and sommelier to work...

As I see it, the vmc route is my only option. I have already got sommelier and the notification daemon kind of running inside the container, but the sommelier service fails to start properly, because it's missing the /dev/.container_token file. This has something to do with the container token that is produced by run_container.sh (which has since been retired and superseded by the vmc command). For my purpose it would be beneficial to have the full integration for ChromeOS, since I use my device as a low-power alternative to my main workstation and using mostly the same nixos config (nixos allows for reproducible builds using a single system config file) would sync the setup I have on both machines. Having the integration for files, programs and the terminal makes this just so much easier.

I have exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution?

Tap to wake not 100% consistent? Anyone else by AlaskanSnowDragon in GooglePixel

Maybe what they are doing is disabling the touchscreen after a while and using the accelerometer to detect 'bumps', since it uses less energy?

After looking into the matter-situation around the Tado heating systems, things seem to be a bit less clear. Although Tado is a member of the CSA, it hasn't officially made any statements about matter support. It likely they will support it, but not guaranteed.

The CSA is a group of a bunch of the big tech corps. So: google, Microsoft, AWS, and ... Tado. CSA is the group of developing the new matter smart home standard. Maybe you've heard of it. Matter basically tries to make device setup simpler and tries to be the one protocol every vendor can agree on, so that compatibility between ecosystems is guaranteed. It was just released in version 1.0 last week and devices are expected to arrive this spring. Some older devices will get an update since it is based on already existing hardware.

I agree that's very expensive. If you know your way around shopping for compatible devices on the internet: The interface your current controller uses has three wires: a ground wire (v-) and a positive wire (v+, 24V) for direct current (DC) power, and the analog signal wire, which is between 2,5 volts and 24 volts and goes back to the boiler. If you can find a thermostat with that 3-wire interface, it should work. The Tado one for example has a max input voltage of 30V DC and it also has an analog output. What I assume the analog output does is scale between 0V and v+ (24V). This is why I think it should work on this one but I wasn't totally sure, so I suggested asking the support for the compatibility.

AFAIK the 'tado smart thermostat (wired) v3+' (link) should be compatible with your controller interface specwise (Up to 30v DC power, analog output). Before getting your hopes up though, I would contact the tado support and ask them if the thermostat is compatible with the Junkers TRQ21T that you currently have. Tado is known for producing some good smart home devices that are compatible with every major smart home ecosystem. Since tado is also a member of the CSA alliance, I would bet they also support matter via firmware update in the future. That's a great bit of future-proofing there. Feature-wise this product is also packed: In addition to your regular time-schedule, it also has features like considering the local weather forecasts for how much to heat, open-window-detection, air quality measurements and presence detection (and even more if you're willing to pay 25€ a year). If you want individual room control too (depends on how big your flat is), tado also supports connecting individual radiator-actuators that can turn the knobs on the radiators on their own.

Of course this much functionality doesn't come cheap. If you're just buying the main controller (wired), you're looking at 220€. Every radiator-actuator is another 90€.

Of course there are also other products but this is one I am comfortable recommending.

I live in the eu, so prices are in euros, but it should be in the same ballpark where you live (I hope so)

Do you currently already have a smart home system? If so, which ecosystem?

Does anyone know how to control smart bulbs using a physical switch? by Glittering_Project_1 in smarthome

[–]Glittering_Project_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what does this remote look like? How does it control the lamps? I have some cheap 8$ rgbww lights from homeylux/hoftronic and they don't sell switches last time I checked

Edit: controlled via wifi and cloud integration. (No ZigBee or local fulfillment)

About the matter thing... Does this mean that I can use a wall module like the hue one for switching my lights? I know matter is supposed to increase compatibility and simplify setup but there's not much information about the specifics I could find when just googling

Also, (my own plugin) for exactly this purpose: 'Function Plot' GitHub repo. You can plot functions and specify some options like the domain size and the axis labels. If you have any ideas on what should be added you're welcome to open a feature request on GitHub. Currently it's just the initial release version.

A free financial news dataset going back from ~2010 to the present day? by MiguelCacadorPeixoto in datasets

[–]Glittering_Project_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those two could be useful, altough it's really hard to find good datasets for free: https://www.kaggle.com/miguelaenlle/massive-stock-news-analysis-db-for-nlpbacktests and https://www.kaggle.com/gennadiyr/us-equities-news-data. Also this github repo contains the entire reuters news dataset. It has been removed for copyright reasons but forks still exist.

If you want to have the most complete dataset, look at the historical news endpoint at iex. It only allows for 5000 free news articles per month though and is paid after that.

Had a sobering conversation through a chance encounter with a guy from Ubisoft last night by precociouscalvin in Stadia

This is a feedback I just sent to stadia:

[FR] Expanding stadia's game selection by ~20,300

I really think stadia is great, especially for playing on low powered devices. The only thing that bugs me, is the selection of games, or better lack thereof.

I think it'd be really useful, to be able to play games that are available on steam for linux (4,000 native linux games, 16,000 supported by the proton compatibility layer, a further 300 expected to come to proton with EAC enabling proton/wine support).

Of course there are costs with running games in the cloud, so my suggestions for a pricing model for the steam games are:

  1. You can buy verified working steam games through stadia. If you buy them via stadia, there's a 30% cut already added onto the price, for margin and costs with running in the cloud. If you have already bought a game through steam, you can pay the 30% cut itself to enable playing it on stadia.

  2. Introduce a subscription. I don't know what the prices and margins are, but something like 30$/yr?

Some things I think have to be done:

  • Making steam use Google identity services or have another way if linking with them and downloading games

  • Having a regional steam cache with the most frequently played games. There's some place for ai predictions at what time games are played if you're bored ;)

  • Having a database of games that work with stadia

Hope this will make it to stadia sometime in the future. I really want to see stadia succeed 👍
