The little smart home platform that could in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] emc@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Some have tried working on this. Authentik even developed a hack to make it work with HomeAssistant. Unfortunately the core devs of HomeAssistant have historically viewed external auth as a niche feature that users don't care about.^[https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/832#issuecomment-1328052330] Not sure if that is still the case, but until that mentality changes we are stuck with native auth because PRs are just going to get denied.

I think this post pretty much sums it up:

In 2024, Home Assistant sticks out like a sore thumb among FOSS projects for its lack of modern authentication and authorization.

Knew I’d seen this somewhere. Top Gear season 12 episode 3. I guess Toyota was ahead of their time: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_i-REAL

How Working From Home Changed My Life in c/programming@programming.dev

This guy was commuting three hours per day?! Yeah, no wonder his quality of life improved after he stopped doing that. Unfortunately, I don’t think his experience is going to be very generalizable because most people don’t have a commute length that extreme.

New version of vikunja requires docker-compose changes (vikunja.io)
 

For anyone else out there who has Vikunja deployed using docker, please take note that the vikunja/api and vikunja/frontend containers have been combined into a single vikunja/vikunja container as part of release 0.23. You will have to update your compose files to reflect this change as part of the upgrade. I just went through this and it went very smoothly. The directions on the linked webpage make it fairly easy. Happy self-hosting!

TrueCharts (third party app repository for TrueNAS) does this and it drove me crazy until I eventually gave up and moved everything to Docker. Lack of serious documentation was just one of the many reasons.

Can I faraday cage my ISP-issued router in order to use my own? in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] emc@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Through a faraday cage? I mean, maybe… but have you checked if you can just turn the wifi functionality off on the ISP device? Most will let you do this and it would be way easier/cleaner.
