RvTV95XBeo, in Haier, the air conditioner maker, takes down open source third-party Home Assistant integration

Bit of a tangent, but I hear Haier’s legal department can be reached at cybergovernance@haier-europe.com, if anyone has any questions about the legal grounds they’re claiming, I’m sure they’d be happy to elaborate - they clearly have plenty of free time on their hands.

When companies build shitty software for which they charge arms and legs extra and are pissed that someone found their way around it

Nextcloud is simply software that runs on something. You might use DNS to find the something that your Nextcloud runs on … or not. A domain can cost as little as say £10/year (no details given - loose costing provided!) but you say you don’t want one.

You could do some weird stuff involving something like this: Your clients update a database on the server with their current IP address(es) and the server reciprocates in kind regularly.

For an internets conversation, both sides need to know IP address, protocol, and optionally port; for both ends. For example, a webby conversation might involve:

My end: 192.168.100.20/24, tcp port 2399 -> NAT -> 33.22.4.66, tcp port 2245 Remote web server: 99.22.33.44/37, tcp port 443

Now, provided both sides are warned off about changes to addresses and port numbers on a regular basis, then comms will still work.

Say, your home external IP address changes, then your browser writes that new address to the remote server and comms continue. Provided one end knows all the details of the other end at any point in time and can communicate local changes then we are good.

Maybe not. Lookup: Dynamic DNS.

Falcon, in Accessing NAS when not on LAN

Yes it’s easy, install WireGuard in a container, port forward to it and copy the profile to your other devices.

When you connect to the WireGuard network on the second device, you’ll have access to your internal network and hence your nas.

I also use a reverse proxy so I can remember computer names rather than ip.

I’ll be waiting for the dialer, sms, and contact apps in f-droid. Gallery is there already. Too bad I donated a couple of times to Tibor; wish you all the best anyways !

@Emberleaf@lemmy.ml avatar

I usually just browse [flathub.org]. I’ve found more than a few great projects this way.

BlanK0, (edited ) in Where do you get your information about new software?

Like others suggested, lemmy communities and some news sites like HackerNews.

But also some YouTube channels like Mental Outlaw, The Linux experiment and Brodie Robertson (most of them also have Odysee channels if you don’t want to use YouTube). Also Luke Smith (actually he shills a lot of foss software).

lobut, in Where do you get your information about new software?

Lemmy, Hacker News, Mailing Lists … Sometimes I watch the Primeagen, Theo and such.

emb, in Where do you get your information about new software?

Generally I read HackerNews and Lemmy communities like this one. Once in a while interesting projects will get highlighted.

But for the most part, once I identify a need, I’ll look through alternativeto.net and see what the popular open source options are.
