Thank you! that fixed it - I only had “undertermined” selected as language. It’s curious that other communities did not show this problem before.

For a low end, small, low consumption Intel box for HTPC/Kodi, Home assistant, Frigate, small Home Server or all of the above, I can recommend any N100-based box or mini itx mobo. It’s very fast compared to prior Intel low consumption CPUs (apollo lake etc), does 4K, HDR, AV1.

I.V. Drip blend from darkcity cofee in Toronto. Roasted a few days ago. Looking forward to my morning cortado!

I just checked that link and YES, actually it is, thanks for pointing it out. The docs must have been updated for v0.13, they added the ffmpeg prefix to the go2rtc stance, this wasn’t there before. I found this originally in a github bug discussion with the frigate dev, where he suggested the person having issues to try this out and see what happens. There was no follow up after that suggestion though.

Note - another helpful tip for 510WA cams: in this github listing: Reolink Firmware Archive, you can find a link to version 3.1.0.1387 which I have been running for a week, this version is much newer than the latest official release (.764), it adds two useful new options in t he Stream configuration section (which is only accessible via the Web interface of the cam),

• interframe space: set it to 1X
• frame rate mode: set it to fixed

what is the point of doing that? I just checked and I have hundreds of entities, it would take a huge amount of time to see which ones to keep visible / which ones are used in automations or visualization etc. What is the harm of just leaving them exposed?

I am no programmer either, mainly a technical-oriented user, and I made the switch to a linux-only desktop almost 20 years ago. I tried several distros but I keep coming back to ubuntu (in vanilla gnome mode), with it’s closeness to debian and huge library of apps, with it’s massive userbase you get a lot of online community support, and it’s really polished these days. For the last 5-6 years or so I’ve been using “LTS” releases, doing major updates every two years, I found that to be a very reasonable cadence and it gives you great environment stability. The only significant downside I found these days is ubuntu’s insistence in using their (proprietary?) snap desktop container app ecosystem, I personally much prefer flatpaks, and actually I use flatpaks extensively on my ubuntu desktop for SW that needs frequent updating (darktable, logseq, etc)

With all its faults, great fútbol still mesmerizes. So many of us look forward with passion to the fantastic ritual of the World Cup every four years. The best competition tournament in the world by a long shot.

was an issue confirmed? I noticed -different from before- that my new subscriptions to communities stay in ‘pending state’ and don’t seem to move to ‘joined’ as was happening before

Baratza Vario W - daily use for the last 8 years or so and going strong. Zero ground coffee mess, decently accurate and consistent (grinds by weight), looks nice. Mine only needed one burr adjustment in the 5 year mark (it comes with tool and the instructions).

Generally it’s the mobo chipset that determines which CPUs are compatible. Often the chipsets are compatible with two generations of CPUs, that was the case with H6xx from intel, i got one with an alderlake cpu amd could upgrade it a year and a half later with rocketlake. The mobo OEM needs to support this in their uefi/bios

Similarly here. After years and years using the likes of Zim and Joplin, I discovered logseq a few weeks back… and there is no going back! I do hope they will make the app more performant over time but not really a deal breaker for me

I concur with the first comment, RPi is not well suited for a media server, where you need solid storage and good performance for transcoding on the fly. However, RPis are fantastic media players

Did you check logseq? It’s on flathub

Thanks all for the tips on this. I will explore the IFTTT + todoist route that seems to be the only current option to get the Alexa/echo shopping list integrated with HA’s

I use LS50W2s for my main media center and TV since two years ago and am very happy with the result. Shortest path to high quality audio. I understand there are several other options these days

Tilix [https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/] is missing from the list. My terminal of choice for the last (I lost count) however many years. Integrates nicely with gnome3+

This brings back so many memories! My first distro some 25 years ago now! Something to tell my kids about. I remember it took me a couple of days to get audio to work on my first install! And I still loved it. So much water has passed under the bridge. Now 100% of the production envirnoment at work is Linux-based and so are the devices at the other end of the wire/airlink. And so are our phones, home servers and on and on. Linux skills have had the highest return

Small fanless HTPC on a six year old Apollo lake mini ITX mobo. Looking forward to upgrading this one soon with one of the recently announced alderlake N100 fanless mini itx mobos.

Did you consider an integrated like kef LS50W /W2? I have gone this way years ago and really enjoying it. Simple setup, paired with any of many open source streaming platforms. Outstanding audio quality and you end up saving a lot. With the W2 you can even automate things (turn on the speaker and set the right input whenever the steamer goes in playback mode, etc)
