You could try finding changed config files by running:
sudo debsums -ac
Note that this won’t catch all. There are files that packages install and don’t touch afterwards. I my case for example it does catch that /etc/gdm3/custom.conf was modified to enable autologin among other things.
This drama is from 2021. HA is still open source and has been great.
The Nix maintainers come off pretty entitled in this one. They ignore advice, requests and do not provide an engineering solution that could solve this without incurring the cost HA would bear. You don’t get to dictate or create work for an open source project that wasn’t designed to play well in your environment. If you want to get it to play nice in there, come up with a proposal that the upstream accepts and implement it. Better yet, come up with a design of your system that accommodates the upstream project. If you go ahead and create that work anyway, upstream can use the tools at their disposal to prevent that.
Wait you thought that meme was factual? 🫨 Even OP themselves said in that thread it was a joke he made to troll Canonical haters. !linuxmemes@lemmy.world is rarely factual.
This sounds plausible. I have seen a few guides for headless use suggesting disabling the built-in remote desktop feature and setting up xrdp, xvnc or related and then trying to fixup that session.
My guess is that something related to the headless setup you had changed during upgrade - likely some package got obsoleted and removed. Then you got some default behaviour from the replacement package along with the rest of the setup.
If you don’t get the help needed to resolve this here, you should also post in askubuntu.com.
Get out with this noise. This is the same nonsense as “just install Linux” to a person with a Windows problem.
Well I don’t know what OP is planning to use it as, but desktop VLC can cast to Chromecast on the LAN for example.
I don’t think you can. On the other hand, if you register a Google account, use a secondary user on your phone to login, install the app and activate the Chromecast, I think you can subsequently use it without the Google account. Delete the secondary user once you’re done with the setup. You wouldn’t have given Google any useful data and you’d have cost them some.
Purely on the product side, if I decide to buy it, I wouldn’t buy it for myself. I’d buy it for friends and family who are not that tech literate. Either to make my life easier to give them self-hosted services, or ideally for themselves to be able to do so. I want this product to be a non-shitty, open source “Synology,” from a firm I can trist to support it for a very long time. Doesn’t have to have that form factor. And I’m totally fine with an ongoing subscription. I’d like to be able to say - hey friend, buy this from ACME Co-op and sign up for their support plan. Follow the wizard and you’ll have Immich, Nextcloud, etc. A support plan might include external cloud HTTP proxy with authentication and SSL that makes access trivial. Similar to how Home Assistant’s subscription (Nabu Casa) works. It could also include a cloud backup. Perhaps at a different subscription rate.
I don’t know enough to say what the structure should be but this should not be possible:
But it doesn’t protect you against more insidious forces like the founders selling to private capital
It implies that the founders have more voting power and ownership than the rest of the people in the org. In my mind, everyone should have an equal vote, which should prevent a sale on the whim of the founders or another minority group. If a sale is in the cards, a majority of the people in the org should have to approve for it to proceed. And this shouldn’t be advisory but a legal barrier to pass.
If I were to start a firm today, I’d be looking into this because not only this is the kind of firm I’d like to work in, but I think so would quite a few people in software. And those aren’t the dumb kids.
I can also say that as a customer, the few worker co-ops I’ve able to buy things from give me a much more trustworthy impression than the baseline. They just behave differently. Noticeably more ethically.
I probably would. However it has become increasingly obvious that the flaws with solutions so far have been in the organisation. Not so much the particular hardware or software. If I’m going to buy something I’d like some hope that it’ll be there in 5 or 10 or 20 years. So please if you go serious with this, look into worker-owned organizations because I’m tired of dodging profit-maximizing traps and pretend-non-profit landmines. If the people building and supporting the thing aren’t the ones deciding what to do with the revenue and profit, you’re the only one doing it and you’re going to make mistakes that will hurt them and us. And then you become a landmine to dodge.
It looks like something for a LinkedIn post.
No question. All I’m saying is it’s not feasible or truthful for the device OEM to claim they can support longer than the SoC vendor supports the proprietary SoC bits.
Or they have to clearly specify that the support is not all-inclusive and/or that it’s best-effort.
The software support hinges on SoC vendor support. You can only support it as long as the SoC vendor supports the SoC. Afterwards you can provide quasi support, for the upper OS layer only. Critical modem vulnerability past that point? SOL. I’m not aware of the current vendor support across brands but the last time I checked QC offered ~3 years and I think that’s from introduction of the SoC, not when it shipped in devices. I don’t know if anyone who sells their SoC offers longer support. It’s sad stuff.
Oh nice, I think HA radio is from Zooz.
What brand and model are those? I have a Z-wave radio on my HA.
If I go to any of the teams I interact with who program their components in C++ and proposed Rust or anything else, I’d get a similar reaction. They’re very good at C++ and they very rarely have memory and threading issues. 😂
All decent DP KVMs are very expensive. I got an IOGEAR which is a rebranded Aten. It was also in the same price range. Who knew high resolution needs high bandwidth and high bandwidth signaling and switching is hard…
