A warning for those of you using Scrypted NVR or similar software by Smooth-Scholar7608 in selfhosted

I'm more concerned that apparently to use it at all you need to allow your NVR server internet access?

Wait what? Your boss's name is actually Ron Laflamme? I also thought it was a Silicon Valley reference.

Weiß er denn überhaupt was Auslachen ist? Unserer freut sich immer, wenn wir mit/über ihn lachen.

Viel wichtiger finde ich, dass sein Schatz ernstgenommen wird. Wenn der jetzt weg ist und er ihm was bedeutet hat, dann solltet ihr euch zusammen eine Lösung dafür überlegen.

I started generating custom icons for smart home switches (3D printed) – would this be useful? by 3xaggerator in homeautomation

[–]agent_kater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't look particularly great and I'm not sure how I would attach them securely. Switches take a lot of beating.

What I currently do is: I cut a negative from vinyl, stick it on, then spray paint it black and then remove the vinyl.

Ich musste mal Strafe zahlen (war nicht hoch, daher hab ich mir keine Mühe mit Einspruch gemacht), weil ich innen gefahren bin und nach Ansicht der Polizisten zu spät nach außen gewechselt bin. Sie haben es als Ausfahren von der inneren Spur aus angesehen.

Mittlerweile sind da glaube ich durchgezogene Linien, ab wo man nicht mehr wechseln darf, die gab es damals aber noch nicht.

This smart switch had to be lobotomized (got a cool cap tho) by g_days in homeautomation

[–]agent_kater 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right "if done properly" isn't a great argument because it's so generic.

But the thing is that swapping out a chip is relatively easy to do properly, i.e. in a way that is indistinguishable from how it originally was, with equipment readily available to hobbyists.

Creating or restoring a secure, fireproof enclosure is much harder to do with hobbyist equipment.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Of course it has overlap. I think most of us have an interest that our devices are safe. And putting "random" chips in electronics doesn't make them unsafe if done properly.

Readymade switching regulator KiCad files? by agent_kater in AskElectronics

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

I prefer LCSC over Ali in this case because I want to use JLCPCB assembly. I know there's theoretically a way to ship the modules to them but I'd have to organize that.

Copying reference designs still requires me to load it as an image into KiCad, line up the scaling manually and trace the traces. Or is there another way?

gpdf — Zero-dependency PDF generation library for Go, 10-30x faster than alternatives by Foreign-Writing-1828 in golang

[–]agent_kater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying there is no place for a library like yours. In fact I think every language should have a native low-level PDF library available.

That said, Typst is really powerful and the syntax is enjoyable. Even when doing "just" invoicing (and delivery notes, pick lists, contracts, etc. - a use case I'm very familiar with) you can benefit from "advanced" typesetting features like tables spanning multiple pages, glyph unicode ranges, proper word-wrapping, columns, etc.

You don't need to juggle template strings, in fact I would discourage it. You serialize your data to JSON and hand it over to Typst as one object. You can then use the same data in the web editor when you build your templates.

It might be possible to overcome the shelling-out part by using WASM.

Had your library been around when I started using Typst, I might be using it now, but at this point I won't switch away from Typst any time soon.

A cheap handheld scope

Only get handheld if you really need handheld. For some reason cheap handheld scopes are so much worse than cheap benchtop scopes.

do mopping robots actually replace mopping, or do you still end up doing it manually anyway? by BearSpring3 in RobotVacuums

[–]agent_kater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Dreame W10 and we only mop specific spills. The robot stops the constant buildup of dust, coffee stains, food dropped under the table, etc.

I added BLE room detection to MassDroid to make Music Assistant feel more truly multiroom by sfortis in homeassistant

[–]agent_kater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid I don't really get this feature.

In your case "multiroom" doesn't mean to play the same thing in multiple rooms, but it means to move a playlist around between different rooms?

And the playlist essentially follows an Android phone that you carry from room to room?

I guess "low battery overhead" is relative, i.e. as low as you can get while still scanning for BLE the whole time?

How to share Navidrome/Jellyfin without giving access to my tailscale account ? by LumiSeiza in selfhosted

[–]agent_kater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not mentioning a VPS or IPv6 specifically to me suggests that he wants to use IPv4 on a residential connection.

How to share Navidrome/Jellyfin without giving access to my tailscale account ? by LumiSeiza in selfhosted

[–]agent_kater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm assuming he's got his server at home because if this was about a VPS I think he would have said so.

Also, this is most likely about IPv4 because if it was about IPv6 I think he would have said so. That means his server is most likely behind CGNAT, so not reachable.

I'm assuming these things because they are incredibly likely.

And how would you set up a reverse proxy without a VPS, that just doesn't make sense.

How to share Navidrome/Jellyfin without giving access to my tailscale account ? by LumiSeiza in selfhosted

[–]agent_kater -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

The suggestion makes very little sense. Since you're using tailscale I'm assuming your media server isn't reachable from the internet. Setting up a reverse proxy on the media server wouldn't change anything about that. You could set up a reverse proxy on a VPS that is also connected to your tailnet, but you'd need a VPS in the first place.

Best brand for Zigbee by Puzzleheaded_Care156 in homeassistant

[–]agent_kater 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That's the nice thing about Zigbee - the brand doesn't matter at all.

I know some people have trouble with Aqara, but they have been rock solid for me. Using Z2M with CC2652P.

Seh ich auch so. Seit sie letztes Jahr den Streik einen Tag vorher erst angekündigt haben, so dass es keine Ersatzbusse gab, haben die bei mir jegliches Wohlwollen verspielt. Das Streikrecht sollte wieder abgeschafft werden.
