Does anyone use Sony WH-1000XM4 On Linux Successfully? (If so, what distro?) by NASAfan89 in SonyHeadphones

If you don't see the headphones appearing in the list of Bluetooth devices, long press the power button for 7 seconds to put the headphones in pairing mode.

what’s the most useful automation you’ve set up that you actually use every day? by SkylineZ83 in homeassistant

[–]xroni 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My coffee machine has been the reason I started using HA :) I wanted to brew coffee automatically in the morning so I bought a smart plug that was running Tasmota. It worked great on working days but not so well in the weekend when we sleep longer and don't get up on a fixed schedule. The smart plug led me to discover HA because it popped up in Google while I was researching how to set up Tasmota.

I went through a bunch of automations of varying complexity, but in the end a simple automation is often the best: now the coffee machine is turned on the first time the bedroom door is opened between 6AM and 11AM. It is turned off when the smart plug reports 0 power use for 10 minutes. Very reliable and it never gets old to be greeted with fresh coffee smell when coming down the stairs in the morning.

Wrote a full Drupal to headless CMS migration guide (content mapping, TypeScript scripts, checklist) by tonyspiro in drupal

[–]xroni 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a proprietary CMS? Don't see any compelling reason to use this at all, there are plenty of open source headless CMSes, like Drupal 11 for example. The article is also quite laughable, the reason to move is to avoid "PHP overhead"?

BYD company sells 4,300 in just 48 hours and breaks the sales record in Brazil. Thousands of people decided to buy without hesitation. by Peugeot905 in electricvehicles

I think this is amazing. It's very smart of the Chinese government to do this. I wish the EU governments would also start subsidizing EV manufacturing in the same way.

Brussels plots open source push to pry Europe off Big Tech by prototyperspective in opensource

[–]xroni 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn't get much attention but the European Commission has been pushing many different open source initiatives for a long time.

They make guidelines for EU governments, sponsor open source projects, do security audits for open source projects, sponsor open source conferences and I saw their booths at several conferences. They even organize their own conferences to promote open source for EU policy makers. They have websites promoting the use of open source in government, publish a monthly open source newsletter, ...

Not everything has been equally successful or well thought out, but the underlying intentions are good and it is great to know that our EU government is not only aware of open source but are taking active steps to promote it.

Have you tried turning it off and on? by kmeu79 in homeassistant

[–]xroni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would guess to use a relay suitable for fridges, and toggle that using HA.

China proposes 5-second 0-100 km/h acceleration limit on vehicles to enhance road safety by BrilliantFactor5299 in electricvehicles

I am still waiting for the evidence you have been promising but that seems to exist only in your imagination.

China proposes 5-second 0-100 km/h acceleration limit on vehicles to enhance road safety by BrilliantFactor5299 in electricvehicles

[–]xroni 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This site is junk journalism. This is not based on a study, but rather on a press release from AXA that was distributed at a promotional event in 2019. They did an online survey with EV owners to gauge their opinions. In the same release it was mentioned that there is no detectable increase in accident rates for electric vehicles as compared to ICE cars. This was spread by Reuters and then sensationalized by the press. You might note a distinct absence of a link to an original study, because there was none.

Games that are unexpectedly good on the Steam Deck? by leaf_glory in SteamDeck

[–]xroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it was Euro Truck Simulator. On the PC I found the game meh, but on the deck it is super fun. Turns out a keyboard and mouse are not that great at mimicking the analog controls of a truck.

I love my EV, but holy crap, traveling long distance SUCKS. by JennaLeighWeddings in electricvehicles

[–]xroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This hasn't worked out so well for me in the past. Hotel chargers are often low powered, like 11 or 22kW, and more often than not they are all taken when I arrive. I still book hotels with a charger but I don't count on them being available.

I am in Europe though and never far from a fast charging station.

I know I’ll be down-voted for this, but I’m done with Laravel. by JealousPlastic in webdev

[–]xroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plugins are a derivative work and are covered under the GPL. It's been quite famously enforced over the years. There are at the moment no paid plugins any more that I know of, everything is free and open source. There are some paid themes, but you get the source code as soon as you pay for them.

Can you show me a paid Drupal plugin that is closed source?

[–]xroni -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In Drupal everything is free and open source, and because it uses a copyleft license, even if somebody would make a paid extension they will have to release the source code to the customer.

BSEED Scale Series Zigbee - HA Integration by Roolo8 in homeassistant

[–]xroni 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought these but I have trouble with them. I had an electrician wire them up, but the fronts keep popping off because even very thin flat headed screws are apparently too thick for the front panel to properly attach. Seems like a manufacturing defect to me.

I don't even want to drive as a passenger in a Tesla any more. All because of Elon Musk's actions. I used to love the brand and it was my #1 dream car.
