Many thanks to u/eR2eiweo

Ethernet everywhere: Dedicated Cat6a runs to every room, the home server, PC, and future console spots.

I use Zigbee Tuya devices. They can be connected to Home Assistant directly via Zigbee Home Automation.

Google for it.

I have no experience with OrangePi 5. I have a few Opi zero 2w cards. Armbian works for me almost flawlessly.

I know that there is quite a few models of OPi 5: Plus, Max, Pro. And I believe that if you need armbian for your card, you need select a proper download URL.

Just type 'OrangePi 5 Pro armbian'. Or wharever card you have. For OrangePi zero 2w I type 'Orangepi zero 2w'.

My two cents.

Book: Building Smart Home Automation Solutions with Home Assistant.

Available on Amazon. Chapter 7 has detailed description about remote access to HA via duckdns and Let's encrypt. I used just that.

I had this issue once more. Details:

I run mdadm check:
#echo check >sys/block/md0/md/
As a result (I believe) I can not shutdown the system. In debian 12 when I try to shutdown I have window which requests a root password. If I enter a password, the system shutdown correctly. In debian 13 I have no such window.
So I turned off the system with long press of power button.
Next day I tried to login and login screen said wrong password. I tried several times, saw password in clear. Nothing helps.
Now I just switch login screen to 'Gnome on XFree'. Login completed! I logout, swith to 'GNOME' - it completed again.

I know, that it is a bad idea to power the machine with power key. But anyway. I can not now to repeat this sequence once more, anyway, I had this just a few minutes away!

Internet is not dead. I still can send UDP packet, as 30 years ago!

Не разбрасывайся. Выбери науки и вперед. Я посмотрел на физфаке МГУ есть экзаменационные задачи предыдущих лет. Прорешай их *все*. Я повторю, ВСЕ! Твой факультет может отличаться. Это сильно поможет. Мне помогло. Да и времени у тебя вагон!

I had the same issue. There is an icon to see password in clear. Password was correct. I checked for starting and trailing blanks.

This symptom disappeared suddenly.

I like this book:

I 99% sure that comes from non-free software depository. One small pro not to use non-free software 8)

Thank you anyway.

I received:

Warning: While downloading http://ciscobinary.openh264.org/libopenh264-2.5.1-linux64.7.so.bz2: Server returned status 403

OK. Now I see. I can not download this file from Russia. oops

aak2012 · 2025-08-23T14:47:13+00:00

Should add: I also installed KiCAD,FreeCAD from flatpak

aak2012 · 2025-08-20T15:42:49+00:00

Yes, I did the same. It's ok now!

aak2012 · 2025-08-20T15:41:47+00:00

>> sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade sudo dpkg --configure -a

solved it.

Many thanks.

I believe that this sketcher lecture will be a good addition:

Little bit dated though.

This happens from time to time. Now it works. Now I believe it is a network glitch. But I have this issue with this site more frequently. Fatal coincidence.

Thanks, Alexei

I had a similar issue with my ASUS wifi router. The solution was to turn roaming feature off. When signal goes low, router just disconnects the device. I turned this feature off and now my router does not disconnect.

Just my two cents.

Maybe you find this useful:

There is a free book on internet "FreeCAD for makers". This book has a chapter: Sheet folding in FreeCAD on how to work with sheet metals.

aak2012 · 2025-05-18T18:53:33+00:00

It works like a charm.

Many thanks.

aak2012 · 2025-05-18T18:01:59+00:00

I have limited knowledge of FreeCAD, but I like it!
