Yup, there’s definitely use cases but the battery is a no-no. It has to be replaceable even if it compromises the design a bit.

Are there any a|ternatives to n8n?

Sounds like a problem with the hosting of lemmy.world. I don’t think Lemmy cares at all what IP you come from.
- Comment on Why Are New Appliances So Bad? [41:02] 5 days ago:
Yup. I opted for mininally computerized Whirlpool based on some of his stuff in 2020. Mainly because they’re simple and there’s plenty of parts and repair people who can fix them in Canada.

It’s still informative. His other stuff is good too.
- Comment on Why Are New Appliances So Bad? [41:02] 1 week ago:
Good vid bur he’s falling a bit for the corporate propaganda that costs determine prices and that consumers have some power over price setting. Most firms maximize prices while minimizing costs. Consumers have especially little market power in a consolidated market like home appliances.

I don’t think meaningful communication is a KPI they optinize for. More likely time spent in the Discover feed.

This is cool but for self-hosting you probably want a more robust monitoring system capable of alerting at all times. Prometheus is what I use. It also gathera data over time.

- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 2 weeks ago:
That’s odd because the clients are just web apps I think. That should work without crashing on a stable OS. I use them on Android mobile and Android TV with extensive subtitle usage and haven’t seen instability.
A funny thing I noticed is that the client distributed in F-Droid is extremely old even though it says it’s updated recently.

I switched from a heavily used Plex server with about 10 users to Jellyfin with the samw usage patterns abour half a year ago. So far it’s been pretty smooth sailing. A better world is possible!

- Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws 2 weeks ago:
That’s the issue. It’s why I’ve learned that when I can afford it and I reasonably believe this firm or project should exist, and it has a decent chance not to fall flat, I end up buying in. It’s literally upfront investment in the thing. I’m still salty for not backing the Ubuntu Phone back in 2012 or so. I looked at it as another phone compared to what’s available on the market and how the price stacks up for the features. That’s very much the wrong way to do it. A part of the value it provides is the existence of the project and the labour dedicated to it. In the case of the new Pebble, I’m backing it despite Eric, and because it’s fully open source and that’s something I want to exist. A fully open alternative in the sea of proprietary wearable crap.
- Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws 2 weeks ago:
Same guy. This time the whole thing is open source though, even the hardware. So that’s insurance for what it’s worth.
- Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws 2 weeks ago:
This is not the final design, it might gain a connector in the final. It might not. But even if it doesn’t, splicing the wires shouldn’t be too difficult for most who’d dare open their watch.
- Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws 2 weeks ago:
True, but it shouldn’t be a huge deal to clean them up once every few years.

- Comment on Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 - A USB adapter that plugs into your Home Assistant system and opens up a world of smart device options 2 weeks ago:
It’ll probably be great. That’s pretty much giaranteed based on the physics. That said, if you already have a mesh that has good connectivity, an antenna like this would probably just reduce the latency a bit. If you have latency-sensitive applications. I use an HA Yellow with its built-in Zigbee radio. It only reaches 5-10m. Everything after that is connected through the mesh.
- Comment on Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 - A USB adapter that plugs into your Home Assistant system and opens up a world of smart device options 2 weeks ago:
Never had it. Z-Wave needs a differrnt antenna and since they’re using full-size antennas for these devices, the Z-Wave one is significantly larger so it’s a separate device.
- Comment on DFRobot router board with a CM4 2 weeks ago:
Got the module some years ago when there were massive shortages. I found a couple CM4s and bought them at the time.
- Comment on DFRobot router board with a CM4 2 weeks ago:
You’re supposed to set SQM lower than the WAN throughput. I think you’re right that by default it limits it by about 10%. There was some study over a decade ago on this that showed 20-25% limit is best for maximizing responsiveness under load. It’s not possible to effectively schedule packets if there’s no headroom.
- Comment on DFRobot router board with a CM4 2 weeks ago:
I have a few Pi 4 + UE300 routers in operation that work just as well but this is a nice alternative if you have a CM4 lying around.
- Comment on DFRobot router board with a CM4 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think so, not by DFRobot at least.
