Love the trojan coffee cam!

A couple decades ago when I was an office drone, I badly wanted to rig up something similar but the way the cabinets were arranged it was too difficult. The easier system was whoever went to the break room would knock on the wall if the pot was full.

read.write.as shows posts from users on that platform. maybe a good place to start looking. at any rate, it’s pretty ad-hoc and manual because, while it federates, you’re not going to see activity other than posting.

happy to help!

ZHA. Sensor model is 3RTHS0224Z and the ZigBee dingus is a SONOFF but I don’t know which model offhand

Late to the party but I use several from third reality for temp/humidity both indoor and out. They’re ZigBee based and I just have a little ZigBee dongle attached to my server. Basically no setup needed once the dongle is up. Just add batteries and then add them in HA.

I use threema with family but getting others to use yet another app (especially for thin social connections) is difficult.

Depends on your threat model though, I guess.

Having been around since the early days of identica/statusnet: no, not really.

It’s always been small and a generally nice set of communities but it won’t reach a large enough audience to matter. US (and to some degree) global politics are such a clusterfuck that it’ll take more than some little servers with people discussing open source software and art or whatever to create substantial change.

that’s not to say it’s pointless. it’s nice to have these little groups to focus on. it doesn’t give me any hope but it does regulalry lift my spirits.

EDIT: I also dont think it needs to be any kind of agent or tool of change. Why can’t it just be what it is? Groups of people socializing with one another?

is cockpit on a server by server basis or can you monitor multiple servers with it?

checkmk user here. i can second the adjustment phase. i tend to ignore my servers but when something goes sideways it’s awesome to have checkmk’s structure in place.

you folks are still scrimbling? hacker news says you can get much better results if you dronkle instead. in fact, you don’t even have to worry about your implementation, just use the kneeb.io api for all of your dronkling (and scrimbling i guess via their legacy api deprecated last month). they just got seed funding and they reinvested that into their infrastructure. this is a no brainer!

I’m a daily driver of Bazzite and Bluefin. I felt this way initially but it’s been generally painless. I typically check flatpak -> app image -> homebrew -> distrobox when I need something. If that fails, I use rpm-ostree and reboot.

I work in development/devops/infosec by trade and to date there hasn’t been a single package or program that I needed that I couldn’t get running with minimal fuss. I’ve even run a couple of MDM packages that my work requires.

Really love Organic Maps. I live in a semi-rural area, though, so the only issue I’ve had with it is getting it to recognize addresses. I can navigate “close enough” in most cases to get there. Solid project.

or it’s a reddit post that once contained the answer but has been deleted in protest.

sadly it looks like the number of platforms you can sign into are really limited. would be nice if they let you specify an instance. a good start, nonetheless.

my guess would be to reach the widest audience first

Rose colored glasses. I played the hell out of WoW for years from first release and onward. Chat was chaos and if you got invited to someone’s vent server there were usually some jerks. Pseudoanonymity made people brazen.

I played a lot of competitive counter strike and it was the same. Constant trash talking or just nonsense spouting people. Any modern game I play with voice chat built in gets immediately disabled as soon as I start the game for the first time.

Socializing can happen later after a few (positive) interactions but I dont have the mental energy to deal with random folks when I just want to unwind with a game.
