  • Anyone automate anything with smart thermostats and outdoor temp?

    Jump

  • I did the notification thing. If the outdoor temperature is lower than my indoor temperature and above 17° and the humidity is under 60% and the windows are closed, it sends me a notification to open them.

    Same if the outdoor temps get above 24° and the windows are still open, it reminds me to close them.

  • Private Email Showdown: Proton vs Tuta vs Fastmail

    Jump

  • Same. About the very happy part. Have only been using it since earlier this year. Had been using Proton, and while zero knowledge is nice, I don't really need that level of secrecy. And the convenience of Fastmail playing nice with others is something I'm really appreciating lately.

  • I love the integrations with immich and owntracks, as well as having an OIDC login. What kind of resources does this need for a server?

  • Damn, someone beat me to it!

  • Yeah, that's the part I'm having trouble with. Can't decide on something serious, easy to communicate and that I like. Definitely a me problem.

  • I have a domain and an email address through it, but my problem is I can't find a domain name I like enough to both keep and give out to others as a long term contact point. The one I have right now is silly, and not easy to communicate over the phone.

    It's a me problem, but if I ever figure out something I'm will to keep and is available, that's the goal.

  • I'll probably go with one of the other roms on an older phone or possibly one of the Linux phones. It won't be exactly what I want, but it'll be better than their walled garden bullshit. That's precisely why I left Apple way back when.

  • Do it! It's not that bad. Everyone's got different needs, but I switched to fastmail and have been enjoying it.

  • After 2 years on Lemmy, I finally installed it this weekend.

  • I'm using its non-gaming sister, Bluefin, and same. While I'm pretty decent at the CLI and have laboriously figured out how to make things work in the past, that's not where I want to put my energy. I like that it just works and I'm not going to mess anything up on the system level. Containerization and rollbacks are fine by me if I don't have to figure out how to un-bork something.

  • Made the switch - A thanks!

    Jump

  • Are you looking for Docker Desktop specifically? Or will docker/podman work for the time being? If you don't already have it, bazzite-dx comes with docker pre-installed, which would be a simple rebase to get you there.

    Jump

  • OpenOffice has more or less been dead for a while. Check out LibreOffice, its spiritual successor, or OnlyOffice (which people have opinions about because it's Russian developed [I think the guy is actually Latvian]).

    Also, my vote is for Bazzite. Gaming based and works out of the box with constant updates as long as you restart your computer with easy rollback if something goes wrong. Hard to break your computer, but if you like tinkering it'll have to be containerized.

    Desktop is an important choice for look and feel so check out the difference between GNOME and KDE the two main variants.

  • California Legislature approves Newsom's redistricting plan to counter Texas' new congressional map

    Jump

  • I think it was on the verge of going blue back in the early aughts and then they gerrymandered a majority for themselves ever since.

  • ICE Arrests US Army Veteran, Husband of Former Congressional Candidate During Citizenship Interview

    Jump

  • No, I think you should have done what you did. In this day and age, you can't really tell any more.

    Jump

  • 🤷🏼‍♂️ When I had CL I could turn it on by enabling 6rd and it worked as expected. When I moved across town and got QF, their instructions didn't account for it and following the same online instructions for CL don't work. Others online seem to not have had any luck either, but some people's comments make it sound like it's the modem.

  • What was your first distro?

    Jump

  • Same with Mandrake, though I can't remember what version number.

    Jump

  • Mine is Quantum Fiber, a sister of CenturyLink. CL has it, apparently QF doesn't. Or at least not natively, rather 6rd. And then possibly not on the modem they installed? At any rate, I haven't been able to find anything online.

  • Steam data reveals PC gamers shifting from Windows to Linux

  • I installed it on my SteamDeck and have its non-gaming sister on my laptop and I love it.
