The Tasmota firmware documentation has a decent list, but it’s limited to devices that are known to be flash-able so you can install custom firmware on them. templates.blakadder.com

I used Portainer for a while and still like it for checking out networking stuff, but try out Dockge! It’s more open sourcey and basic, but makes updating easier.

I use gmail. You just have to set up an “app” password. I always have to search for how to do that, but once you have an app password you’re off and running.

The Google account is still there, I’ve just hidden each of those calendars. New events seem to default to whichever calendar you used last (citation needed) so once you’ve created an event under the NextCloud account, it should default to that. The app I use (Business Calendar Pro) doesn’t even give the option if a particular calendar is disabled.
As far as DAVx^5^, the default is to only sync every 4 hours. Phone to NC is instant (once DAVx sees the change), but NC to Phone has a delay. However!..
I just set up the ntfy app to create instant two way sync both ways. It’s pretty slick. Dig around in the DAVx^5^ documentation about how that works. You install the DAV Push app on the NC server, ntfy on your phone, enable UnifiedPush in the DAVx settings, do a little dance, and then NC notifies DAVx every time there’s a change.

In a web browser I use the NextCloud one. It’s functionally very similar to Google and I like it a lot.
For our Android phones, my wife uses the Google Calendar app, and I like Business Calendar Pro.
Both apps you just have to go into the settings once DAVx^5^ has done the initial sync and uncheck all of the Google calendars so they aren’t shown, and check the boxes next to the new Calendars.
Exporting and Importing I could only really easily do via the web browser for both.

A couple of days ago, after testing it myself for a few months to make sure I understood how everything works, I made the switch to NextCloud Calendar, and will no longer use Google Calendar.
This is the best part though… I somehow convinced my wife to do the same. She let me install the NextCloud app(optional for Calendar stuff but makes the setup easier) and DAVx^5^ on her phone (both from F-Droid, so DAVx^5^ was free). I exported and imported her calendar, and made sure the notifications were set up to her preferred default.
It’s multiple days later, and she hasn’t complained!
I’ve also moved all of my contacts over to NextCloud, but have yet to coerce my spouse to do the same.

I read below that you activate the 3D terrain using the mountain icon, but I still can’t get it to work with Firefox. I’ve tried the demo site with the same results. Is it maybe some sort of proprietary Google thing?
- Comment on wanderer v0.15.1 - 3 weeks ago:
Wow, sounds like a big update. Integrations sounds super cool and should really help with the workflow part of things.
Will the Strava integration create new trails every time or is it possible to have it create new entries to the summit book?
Speaking of which, is Summit Book the best name for that function? It took me a while to figure out what that was about.

Without saying who downvoted you (I can see who did because I’m an instance admin), I’m pretty sure that person is gunning for “person who downvotes the most on the fediverse”. They have a lot of hate in their soul.
- Comment on Google Calendar removes Pride Month and Black History Month 3 weeks ago:
help.kagi.com/kagi/…/search-sources.html
I tried finding API pricing for Google but it’s probably buried somewhere. They make it sound “free” but with usage limits, which surely Kagi exceeds? Either way, it’s probably on a “per-call” basis, and Google gets a lot less money that way compared to crapping out money driven search results.
“Our unique algorithms down-rank pages with a lot of ads and trackers (which we have found correlate with a decrease in content quality) and promote content from independent, ad-free sources and personal websites.”
I’m sure it’s not perfect, but my experience with Kagi has been very very good. With DuckDuckGo I’d often have to revert to Google to find what I was looking for, but not with Kagi.
I pay for Kagi, so my opinion might be clouded by confirmation bias.

Not YouTube because the ads come from the same “source”, so blocking that DNS would mean blocking the actual video, too. That’s my week understanding of it, at least.

This type of spruce produces needles instead of rings. So there are 9,000+ needles on the tree, and they add on a hundred or so years to account for people picking them off in passing.

Dang, that would have hurt with real money.
I always stick to mutual funds and ETFs. The few individual stocks I’ve picked on my own have always lost money. I lost $750 to Beyond Meat, and a couple thousand with BitCoin Cash (should have held it for another year, but hindsight etc.). My mutual fund picks have all gone up. Some more than others, but none have lost me money.

I’m not a pro at Docker, but I’ve spun up over 30 different services using Docker Compose so I’m more than a novice. I would say that Lemmy’s documentation is the worst I’ve ever seen.
The website points you at that compose file which is (I think?) designed for Ansible. I think there’s another example somewhere without all the jibbery joo, but I can’t search for it right now.

- Comment on I fixed my dad's angle grinder with a ball bearing I salvaged from my gerbil's old excercise wheel a few years back. 10 months ago:
Nice! I love the feeling of digging through my box-o-crap and finding exactly what I need.
On a related note, I just replaced the bearings in the wheels of my suitcase (it has roller blade wheels). The bearings were $.75 USD each, plus $7 shipping. They were a standard size, 608.
- Comment on What kind of valve is this exactly? Never seen that exact connection type 11 months ago:
I agree it’s an odd looking crimp, maybe just an older style of what we have today. I’d guess that’s the last likely thing to leak.
Best case scenario the dishwasher line just needs to be tightened. Worst case you can replace the whole thing with a sharkbite type valve, but you’ll probably need to cut back the previously crimped section of PEX (note: I really have no clue about that).
- Comment on What kind of valve is this exactly? Never seen that exact connection type 11 months ago:
Sorry, could you provide a little more information? You say it leaks from the “valve”, but there are 3 different places it could be leaking from, and all are part of the valve – the valve being the whole device from pipe to pipe.
If you’re thinking of replacing the whole thing, I’d focus more on the type of pipe, which looks like Pex coming from the house, and probably some sort of standard dishwasher feed line on the other side.
Ideally you could buy a replacement valve before starting the project, but you might have to remove this valve and take it to the hardware store to make sure you get the correct thing.
I’ve never worked with Pex, but I believe you can either crimp it with a special tool or use the sharkbite system.
