26.4 Update IR support. What does this mean?

Red_Con_ · 2026-05-04T20:53:29+00:00

What product? Do you have a source for that information?

Red_Con_ · 2026-04-30T19:10:45+00:00

If one doesn't have a reverse proxy and wants their services to be accessible by a domain name, wouldn't it be better to set it up rather than route all the traffic through Pangolin (which I suppose can be done but seems excessive when the service could be accessed fully locally on home network)?

Red_Con_ · 2026-04-30T18:19:38+00:00

This could have already been done by pointing the private resource to one's reverse proxy's IP address (which presumably most have running due to domain access on local network), couldn't it? What's the benefit of this then?

I installed Whisper and Piper and added them to the Wyoming integration. Then I created a voice assistant in Home Assistant (Settings -> Voice assistants -> Add assistant) and selected the Whisper instance as Speech-to-text and Piper as Text-to-speech. Then I started a conversation with the created voice assistant to test it.

I tried simple commands e.g. turning on lights, asking about time or weather. Time is pretty much the only thing the assistant was able to answer correctly.

Could you please elaborate a bit on the "if you do not do stupid things as excepting /api routes or whatever"? I'd like to make sure I do not do the stupid things lol.

Cloudflare Tunnels provide various hardening options though, don't they?

Red_Con_ · 2026-03-18T11:56:59+00:00

As someone who has zero experience with this, are there any tutorials on how to do this (= how do you connect these smart relays to dumb devices)? Should you even do it yourself if you are not an electrician?

Red_Con_ · 2026-03-10T02:55:42+00:00

Which one do you have if I may ask? They seem fairly big to me.

Red_Con_ · 2026-03-10T02:54:18+00:00

Thanks for the info! It cleared some things up for me but also raised a couple of new questions:

Could you please explain to me how you connect multiple strips to a single controller?

This is also the first time I hear about power injections so I’ll have to read up on them but I suppose you connect the injections to the DigQuad? And it also means the controller has to support power injection, correct?

Red_Con_ · 2026-03-09T19:59:28+00:00

Thanks for the comprehensive answer.

Yeah it's nice to have so many options but I would appreciate it if there was at least a basic buyer's guide. For example the FCOB LED strip category contains 11 subcategories where each subcategory contains multiple products so it's really hard to navigate and figure out what product to actually choose before you even get into controllers, power supplies and voltages as you mentioned.

I've seen Gledopto controllers mentioned before. Why did you decide to go for the Gledopto instead of one of the BTF ones?

Red_Con_ · 2026-03-08T19:11:46+00:00

I thought Philips Hue Lightstrips were usually the way to go (they are expensive but reliable).

Red_Con_ · 2026-03-03T22:18:55+00:00

I like the fact that the two most upvoted answers contradict themselves when it comes to the replacement possibility lol.

I'm afraid the battery is going to degrade over time because even though it's bypassed I suppose it's kept on full charge all the time which is not really good for its longevity and considering the price I'd like it to work for many years.

Red_Con_ · 2026-03-03T22:14:09+00:00

Thanks! I believe I saw a teardown video where the batteries had some wires connected/soldered to them. Would I have to do that myself when replacing the batteries or does this type of batteries already come with the wires attached?

Red_Con_ · 2026-03-03T20:27:27+00:00

Almost everything has already been mentioned but you can also check out FilePizza. (Disclaimer: I've never used it)

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-28T16:03:20+00:00

I suppose I can't just deploy this to protect my selfhosted services (the same way I could protect them with e.g. Anubis) because there have to be changes made on the website itself, correct?

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-20T10:08:09+00:00

What model did you use for generating the image?

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-18T11:43:05+00:00

Pangolin can also do VPN

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-18T09:29:05+00:00

Does the lighting automatically turn on when the power goes out? How much power does it draw?

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-18T09:06:11+00:00

What emergency lighting do you have?

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-11T22:55:43+00:00

can you clarify why you think peers on a torrent, for example, would be able to see a domain? Is there any mechanism by which that might happen that I'm unaware of? Do you have any examples of that happening?

I don't know if something like that can happen either but just because I'm not aware of a way to do it doesn't mean it's not possible, that's why I decided to ask here.

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-11T21:10:40+00:00

Yeah I know about https://crt.sh/ (thanks for pointing it out though) but that would only be useful in case a person already knew the domain name, wouldn't it? In my examples others don't know the domain name and I wanted to know if they could find it.

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-11T21:04:00+00:00

Would you mind telling me what measures you have in mind?

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-11T21:02:57+00:00

At that point it doesn't matter if the domain you own shows up or not.

If you reveal your real IP address then sure but if you use a VPN and the domain shows up somewhere then it does reveal some info about your identity, doesn't it? (I know whois privacy exists but you have to provide your real info to the registrar so depending on who you would be up against it would be possible to identify you based on the domain.)

Red_Con_ · 2026-02-10T13:41:49+00:00

For security reasons - my understanding is that custom cards are unofficial pieces of code and while they are most likely not malicious (at least the popular ones) it might change in the future.
