@bart Hmmm I just re-flashed with Plasma, but it's definitely trying to start Xorg, and not Wayland. It also looks like it's trying to start sddm, and not tinydm?

@bart oh it is? For some reason I saw it trying to launch xorg. I'll try it again tonight! Would be nice if I could make this into something usable, even just for browsing!

@steve If I tell you, then you would also know! Then it wouldn't be something that no one knows about!

(I actually don't have anything like that :( )

@fireglow Very similar! I usually have mixed nuts. I love cashews and almonds. I love dates, but I'd definitely get extremely fat if I kept them on my desk as I'd just be eating non-stop 😂

What snacks do you keep on your desk to graze on throughout the day?

@bart I couldn't get plasma to work. It looked like Xorg tried to start, but the screen stayed blank.

I tried a few different UIs, but I could only get weston, and Phosh working.

It's super slow, but still pretty cool imo!
I couldn't get any of the lighter interfaces working for some reason.

It would be nice if I could basically just use it as a Web browser, nothing else.

@quad I like those ones!

Installed #postmarketos on my old Nexus 7 (2012) during my lunch break, just to play with

Over the weekend, I switched one of my #TrueNAS Core (FreeBSD based) machines to TrueNas Scale (Linux based).

Nothing has changed in terms of performance, but I'm happy that I can quite easily run prometheus node-exporter on it for monitoring as it has docker support. On TrueNAS Core, there wasn't any nice way to install node-exporter.

Does anyone know of a way to disable a switch in #homeassistant? I want to be completely unusable.
I have a few smart sockets I am using purely for power management, and I want to make it so they are always on, and unable to be switched off in any way.

I think I can do it from #esphome, but if possible i'd rather just remove the switch function from HomeAssistant

Has anyone tried out #truenas scale?
I'm thinking about converting one of my #TrueNAS Core machines to Scale, just because I'm more familar with Linux than I am with FreeBSD.

@selea I find it a bit confusing 😅 Especially when there are IRC services involved (ChanServ NickServ etc). Prefer to just use a real IRC client for IRC

I don't like IRC bridged rooms on #matrix

@hyde well they use Bluetooth, so no cloud involved and thr BLE becon can be encrypted too with this custom firmware: https://github.com/pvvx/ATC_MiThermometer (I think the stock firmware also encrypts, but I flashed the custom one so I can adjust the comfort levels and broadcast intervals).

@hyde Xiaomi Mijia LYWSD03MMC. They are kinda cute 😆

@gabek when they first announced it, I was kinda skeptical. But after seeing the trailer, I'm quite excited!

@andrioid So far, yep!
I really like how it does updates itself without me having to do anything.
It's even successfully updated itself using from Fedora CoreOS 32->33->34, without me even noticing, or any downtime which I thought was pretty cool.

@andrioid I don't know if it has A/B update mechanism, I haven't looked, but i'm using Fedora CoreOS for my homelab K8S cluster, and a couple of stand-alone machines which run some containers.
