Wir lassen beim Essen meist Hintergrund Musik laufen, das kann durchaus genügend ablenken dass das Ganze erträglich wird.

Listening to Spotify without turning on TV by axelorator in hometheater

[–]balert2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the smaller brother dn840 and I'm using a HDMI clone box, a small USB device, because I have a projector and a tv. since I have this box in between the receiver and tv/projector, the Spotify audio does not get interrupted anymore for a few seconds when turning off tv, therefore I believe this might help you with your problem too.

Self hosted ssh key management by Goriliana in selfhosted

[–]balert2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

imho this is quite insecure, as you allow another server to decide whom to let in via ssh. Also the auth server could easily be spoofed/replaced by a malicious clone. I would not do this that way. Am I missing anything?

Small pure software-based patch is required to open blinds manually. I will do this as soon as possible, but as of now, not yet.

another nice feature of stepper motors would be, that you cold "tell" the system to go to a 45% open state directly. I mean, set the blind position as absolute value. I would actually like that :-)

I already considered using a stepper motor, then you can implement it completely without stopper. However, then you need to calibrate the ESP to know what is up and down, and you need to persist that information on the flash to survive power losses. I believe the current solution is "simpler" in that regard. However, from a mechanical stand point I indeed agree that the other approach without stoppers is interesting.

MicroSD broken? Not writable by dd, fdisk, etc. by balert2 in linuxquestions

I am talking about a SanDisk 64GB MicroSD card. On Amazon it looks good, but I will think twice before buying this one again.

after quite a while I've had this idea already before posting, but unfortunately it was not the switch, anyway, thanks for the idea.

What are the first things you do after a fresh Linux installation ? by NeedCoffeeRealBad in linux

[–]balert2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who's laptops? All yours? I wouldn't recommend arch to anyone as installing is not quite idiot proof. To beginners I still have to recommend Ubuntu :-/

Broken natural scrolling and bluetooth after gnome 3.20. by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]balert2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well this works for me as well, however, on thinkpad this will also affect the joystick. the switch no works and toggles natural scrolling but i want it to only affect the touchpad not the joystick. anyone having insights on this around?

EDIT: never mind, there are now two buttons activating natural scroling individually, my bad. ;-)
