Smart home by lambda in c/whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works

[-] lambda@programming.dev 32 points 1 month ago

My smart home is Home Assistant hosted on a server in my house. It's fully open source and has gone through multiple paid audits to show its security is good too. The only non-local-only integrations are the weather api's and my thermostat (ecobee).

Any suggestions for a Wi-Fi ipcam I can use as a baby monitor? (programming.dev)

I currently use Frigate as an NVR for my outside cameras. I would like something that integrates with that. I really just care that it is fully local. I don't want a chance of someone on the internet being able to access a camera in my baby's bedroom.

How can I transfer non-steam games between Linux devices. (programming.dev)

submitted 4 months ago by lambda@programming.dev to c/linux@lemmy.ml

21 comments fedilink

I have a desktop and a steam deck. I would like to setup some old games I have on disc on the desktop. Then compress them and decompress on my Steam Deck without doing the full install again. I understand that with wine/proton prefixes they should be installed to a "fake c:/ windows hierarchy" can I just compress that and copy to a different Linux machine? Does it save which proton version was used? If I use something like Lutris or bottles can I import into them?

Hitler probably didn't kill many/any of the Jews himself either..

Lmao, it's a Rick roll on archive.org!

Discord is on a quest to become a better messaging app by lambda in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] lambda@programming.dev 20 points 11 months ago

Is this an old meme? They revamped their UI and I think it's (Steam) very intuitive now. I do remember when they had like 10 different styles of drop-down box on the desktop app. But, I don't see that now.

Steaming services don't give it to you for free with the only ads being for the premium version of their service that you don't really need..

dockge | self-hosted docker compose.yaml stack-oriented manager (github.com)

I just found this last night and installed it for testing. It's just a web-gui to help manage compose.yml files. It's not fully featured yet, but I believe it's got some real potential to be a regular stay for me.

Yeah, macos is pretty based. I don't own a Mac product but I have and they were great.

What would you use to remotely support a computer with "LAN" access? (programming.dev)

submitted 1 year ago by lambda@programming.dev to c/linux@programming.dev

I have a few family members that I help support. For instance, I installed Linux Mint on my grandmother's PC. She doesn't know any different and my young cousin doesn't understand it so he finally stopped giving it viruses. I used to use TeamViewer to take over her PC when she needed support but I got my account banned because they believed I was using it commercially. Oh well!

I have Tailscale installed on the computers. This gives me SSH access. What would you suggest? RDP? Something else?

The Sword Reforged by lambda in c/transmemes

I feel like nerds are not the people who use the wrong pronouns.. in my experience, it's jocks, rednecks, or more inclusively.. bigots.

[-] lambda@programming.dev 55 points 1 year ago

If only they supported Linux better, or really like at all... I know you can grab the files and install without DRM. But, the whole lack of a client makes it a nuisance to use. I used to buy everything on GOG when possible. Since I got a Steam Deck that's changed. I shouldn't have to use Heroic Launcher IMO..

Matthew Croughan - Use flake.nix, not Dockerfile - MCH2022 (www.youtube.com)

I agree that dockerfile's are not very reproducible. But honestly, that's not how most people use it. I believe most people just pull the already built image which is very reproducible. Anyways, I found this video interesting and thought I'd share it and get your guys thoughts.

What hobby seems boring to most people but is actually fascinating if you dive into it? by lambda in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] lambda@programming.dev 51 points 1 year ago

Home Automation. It can be as simple as buying a hub and some devices. But, I went the self-hosted route using Home Assistant to give me more control of what it can do.

I have some automations that turn on a certain set of lights on when the sun sets and off when it rises. It's pretty simple, but saves electricity because I used to leave my front porch light on 24/7.

I just set up an automation last night that sends me a discord notification when the laundry machine finishes and the same for the dryer. I can't hear the beeping because I am always too far from the laundry room. This one has me so excited!

I've seen people automate gardens which seems really neat. Really, your only limit is your imagination. I also just really like having an app on my phone to toggle power to random lights and fans around my house. It helps me get out of bed because I can turn the fan off when I'm cold in bed.

I hope I am not coming across as spamming as this is my third post to this community today. I won't do another today but I just thought this was interesting. I watch most of CTT's videos and this was one from a live stream where he went into gaming on NixOS.

I was looking up gaming on NixOS and I came across this video. I have never seen this creator before but the video was interesting. So, I thought I'd share.

Is there a place that people share their configs? (programming.dev)

submitted 1 year ago by lambda@programming.dev to c/nix@programming.dev

I know you can go github and just do a file search. I am just wondering if there is a place where people share and give descriptions. I would like to see what is out there in terms of "gaming configurations". But, I also would love to just read some random configs that can help me learn new concepts of what can be done in the config.
