How's /e/os? Last time I tried it was after the FP4 release up until lineage OS supported it. Back then I absolutely hated it. They tried to imitate iOS so hard they even copied their shortcomings. Like not having widgets for example. To make matters worse they even took perfectly fine Open Source apps like Etar calendar and patched out the widget support as well.... Absolutely bonkers move. Ditched it as soon as Lineage for MicroG was available and am still using that on my FP4 to this day. The same Google free experience, but saner (IMO).

How is the OS years later?

Some interesting distro choices to be found in there. I didn't realize CachyOS was so popular

RISC-V could be a lot better supported then. But I don't think a lifetime this long would work for the Deck. 7 years is nearly as long as the Switch 1, but that device had the benefit of being a platform in itself with no alternative (as in there are no other switch-compatible-devices). This forces the devs to target it, no matter what performance or fidelity they might wish for.

The Steam Deck might feel a lot like a console, but in the end it is just a PC and the PC gaming world isn't going to wait for Valves next device. The game-tech will just move on past the steam decks capabilities and a lot of gamers will leave it behind and move to other SteamOS (or windows) compatible hardware. The Deck would still have a lot of value as an indie gaming machine, though.

Being honest once doesn't make you an honest person, though.

What's the source on the VR headset being ARM based? I must have missed that

Absolutely 0 chance as current RISC-V chips are dog slow and inefficient. Currently RISC-V is only really used in microcontrollers and everything else is highly experimental.

I'm wondering what Pat is up to these days

Edit: Apparently he's making music again: https://friendsinreallife.bandcamp.com/album/friends-in-real-life

Witzig. Durch den Post habe ich von der Band erfahren, heute will mir vor der Rise Against Show in Hannover ein Typ ne Defrage Reloaded CD für 10 Euro andrehen. Gras hätte er aber auch genommen.

I'm new to netbox and as far as I can tell there are two ways to combine Netbox with ansible.

  • Automate network and Netbox with ansible. A playbook would configure a switch port and then use the Netbox ansible collection to modify Netbox to reflect the change. All changes go through Ansible.
  • Use Netbox as the data source for ansible. A playbook pulls the switch configuration from Netbox and applies it to the switch using ansible. All changes go through Netbox.

What would be preferred? Both solve the Problem of having to change everything twice.

 
 

I want to dip my toes into the smart home world and decided that I want to use homeassistant and primarily use devices based on zigbee, as I do not want to overload my wifi with a bunch of devices.

Smart plugs seem to be most interesting to me as I would like to have accurate power measurements for my homelab and applicances. The keyword is accurate here. There seems to be some science showing that the accuracy of smart plugs can vary a lot. I have read that devices that are flashed with the tasmota firmware can actually be calibrated. Unfortunately this firmware is only available for wifi devices.

So my questions are:

  • Are there zigbee smartplugs that are known to be very accurate or can be calibrated to be very accurated?
  • Is preferring zigbee over wifi actually a good Idea? I mean both use 2.4 GHz, which is known to be crowded. When will wifi smart home devices become a problem?
  • Is a calibrated tasmota smart plug more accurated than a typical zigbee plug?
  • Is this inaccuracy reported in the paper even relevant for non-scientific use?
