  • if the sun has set and my partner isn’t home from work (phone not connected to WiFi), turn the hallway light on
  • close the blinds when the sun sets, but only if the TV isn’t currently on so as not to make noise during a TV programme
  • when I turn the bedroom lamp on, turn the bedroom ceiling light off
  • if my front door opens when neither me nor my partner are home, send a snapshot of the doorbell camera to my notifications

What’s a mud room?

What does using a good firewall mean exactly? As I understand it a port is either open or closed right? So what does a good firewall do that a bad one doesn’t?

“Matter Casting” is not a very catchy name

peter, to selfhosted in Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

Pihole is great for blocking on things that you can’t install a local adblocker on. It does have downsides though, it can be annoying and block things you don’t want it to. It might not block ads well on your tv or might impair the functionality in weird ways. It can depend lot on which lists you add, but there are many available and they are usually quite well documented about their intentions.

There’s something really depressing about an AI telling a suicidal person they’re not alone and referring them to the vague notion of “national resources” or “a helpline”

What’s crowded? I am having trouble searching for it because of its name

peter, to selfhosted in Why docker
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

Docker is a messy and not ideal but it was born out of a necessity, getting multiple services to coexist together outside of a container can be a nightmare, updating and moving configuration is a nightmare and removing things can leave stuff behind which gets messier and messier over time. Docker just standardises most of the configuration whilst requiring minimal effort from the developer

peter, to selfhosted in App that tracks prices on websites?
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

A tool that can track price changes on any website automatically is difficult since there isn’t a standard way that prices are presented on a website. As has already been said, changedetection is your best bet

peter, to selfhosted in PSA: The Docker Snap package on Ubuntu sucks.
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

The Linux community loves to put the responsibility on the user to understand every facet of what they’re trying to do without explaining it

peter, to homeassistant in Low cost Zigbee GU10s via Ikea (UK)
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

Ikea makes some of the best smart home stuff IMO. Really well built, decently priced and no stupid lock in or cloud only stuff.

peter, to homeassistant in Can anyone recommend a wireless doorbell that works with home assistant?
@peter@feddit.uk avatar

Ah, yeah it does require that. I assume that’s what OP wants because they said they want to connect to their house doorbell

They do but I don’t know if it’s available on their official store anymore. It’s just called the G4 Doorbell rather than the G4 pro
