Next school year, my son will be left home after school for a few hours while my wife and I are at work. I’m looking for a way to detect when he’s home and have the front door unlock (among other automation scripts that are in place)....
I’ve been using Linux for about 7 months now and have become a lot more comfortable using the terminal but I feel like there is more that I can learn....
Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”....
Ah, ok… I see. I guess you’ve not filtering on distance then, ok. I see all my neighbours stuff on 1 sensor, so automatically started filtering (and then attempting to tune)
Good point on the negative room sensing, I think I need to start this again… but also ditch the crap module.
But… how much faffing did you have to do to get the tuning right?
I’ve recently started using this and have 3 different ESP modules and I’m having a hellofatime getting them to show near-enough results, let alone accurate.
1 of them literally has the phone on top of it and it thinks it’s 4m away.
I’ve gone upto absorbtion factor 10 (Spock) with an RSSI adjustment of 6, and that’s passible on 1 device, but not another
I think others have covered the main points, but I found it hard going for 1 device (ie a Ras Pi, VM, etc), but then it was effortless when I wanted to add a 2nd (or more…), so at first pick the sensible uses, then consider ansible for that one-off device a little later…
I like a few specific utils (tmux, nmon, htop) on all my devices: ansible script
I want to update all the Ras Pis in the house: ansible script
Clonezilla has been my goto backup / restore solution for years. I’ve used it on everything from RaspberryPi SD Cards to a Dell Poweredge server with PERC RAID controller (because some fool setup the wrong RAID parameters).
I didn’t know about Rescuezilla though… so thanks for that.
Good day self-hosters! I’m not exactly sure what to call what I’m looking for besides a “clipboard”. Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is....
I’ve been using it for years for a similar reason.
Each section (Tiddler) that you create in each wiki can be exported as a static HTML file, so if you have tables, etc, then formatting shouldn’t be lost.
I use Firefox with an addon that helps to save changes (not at the desk at the mo, so can’t check the name), but it works well.
Within the GNU/Linux ecosystem there are all kinds of tools to diagnose the system, or rather, to check the state of the hardware, but there are few distributions specifically designed to perform this task, or at least that I know of, because the only distribution I know that is intended to diagnose the computer, (Or at...
Yeah +1 for Parted Magic - I’ve been using it for years, professionally.
Has hardware stress testing, SMART checking, etc.
It costs actual money, but that’s the fee for creating the whole thing, which I’m fine with… I could make something similar with a Live USB distro (I use Arch btw), but Parted Magic can run entirely in RAM, so after booting you can remove the boot stick - useful for machines with only 1 USB port - and I’ve not worked out how to do that with my own DIY live distro
I’ve started looking at Ansible to manage all the laptops, VMs, SBCs that I have running Arch Got the ol’ pacman installs / updates working fine, but I’m having some problems understanding how to setup AUR to install some of those packages....
