  • That’s strange. I’m using the old Jellyfin addon (not the JellyCon), and so far only encountered one bug in total, which, if you are familiar with kodi addon ecosystem, is basically unheard of. And even that one is related to my non-standard manual configuration that allows me to use WebDAV instead SMB or NFS. It’s using the wrong type of escaping for certain special characters, which is understandable, because who in their right mind uses WebDAV?

    When thoughts like this trouble me, I simply realize how awesome it is that you can simply summon a burger using the magic box in your pocket. What a great time to be alive!

    If my grandma wanted a burger at my age, she would have to wake up early in the morning to catch a good spot in queue in front of the butcher shop.





  • Flirc cases are nice, but the rubber parts do not handle the high temperatures well.

    One of my pis is running inside a cupboard, so not ideal in terms of ventilation. The rubbery top and bottom of the case has started to dissolve into a sticky oil that was a bitch to clean up. The plastic underneath looks OK, so once the rest of it dissolves it will look normal again.

    The other pi with the same case that’s out in the open shows no signs of degradation.



  • IKEA devices apparently work very well with Aqara

    When it comes to zigbee devices, don’t combine the aqara wall switches with large (4 buttons) ikea remotes.

    The wall switches tend to execute the commands from the remotes instead of just routing them to the coordinator.

    My Zigbee network also improved a lot when I set up some IKEA plugs in the loft.

    I have similar experience with the ikea bulbs. More of them I connect, more stable the whole network gets.


  • I host 2 ejabberd servers. One casual, federated, the other one standalone, for work.

    • Conversations is a decent android client that supports modern XMPP standards
    • Dino on the desktop. It just happen to support the same subset of standards as Conversations, so they work pretty well together.

    For Mastodon, I’m using an Akkoma instance hosted by a frind of mine

    • Tusky works pretty well with it. There were certain annoying bugs when I combined the official Mastodon app with Akkoma.

    Every once in a while I try Matrix, but each time I try to log in, Synapse is is fucked in a different way. I have to scrap it up and start from the ground up some day.

    • Only the element based clients so far, because every alternative lack certain features.

    I’m a big fan of Nostr, because of one particular feature - You control your identity without having to selfhost a server. The network seems to be occupied by the christian-carnivore-bitcoin-conservatives so far, therefor it’s pretty bland when it comes to content.

    • Amethyst on Android
    • Gossip on the desktop. This one requires a certain knowledge of the protocol. Each action needs to be manually triggered.

    For some special use cases I have Signal, but most of the time, Telegram is the best the average person can do to meet me in the middle.
