• Happy 20th Anniversary, Gmail. I'm Sorry I'm Leaving You

  It really is hard to leave Gmail when all of your data has been conveniently stored therein. This is one of Google's retention strategies and it is indeed brilliant. That said, there's a vast number of self-hosted alternatives like Stalwart Mail (email) [1], Immich (images) [2], NextCloud (Google Docs) [3], etc. [1] https://stalwa.rt [2] https://immich.app [3] https://nextcloud.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Google suspends romance author's account for writing sexually explicit content

  Good open source self-hostable alternatives exist! https://nextcloud.com/ (no affiliation, just a longtime happy user) is great for file sharing and even collaborative online document editing. If you do not want to host your own instance, there are many great providers who will host one for you at a low cost. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• OpenBSD Upgrade 7.3 to 7.4

  See Configuration and syntax changes and Special packages. The latter this time includes changes around NextCloud 23 and Tor Browser prior to 12.5, both of which should be upgraded beforehand. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• The Tailscale Universal Docker Mod

  > Cloud storage for phones: http://nextcloud.com Thanks, that sums it up for me. I used OC/NC for years but in the last three I mostly abandoned it because the desktop app (for Windows, at least) is atrocious and Android one... isn't good either. But as on-demand document download with occasional upload it's fine. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• ESPHome

  Solid state relay is probably a bad idea with all the extra heat-sinking, extra cost, and chance of getting counterfeits. I do this with ESPHome & a J115F21C12VDCS.9 relay (note only the NO side is rated for 40A resistive): https://i.imgur.com/MqqOkoY.png Choose any of the temperature sensors here for air temperature sensing: https://esphome.io/ Configuration is so easy. For the sensor, just copy the config... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• A Custom Zigbee Doorbell

  You might want to take a look at https://esphome.io/ for an easy integration of an ESP32/8266 into home Assistant. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Thoughts, learnings and regrets after three years on Home Assistant

  You can do this with a $30 Sonoff S31 running ESPHome [0]. Since the Sonoff wall switch can run a ping sensor against your server you could create a watchdog automation right on the S31 to shut off the mains power to the S31 switch and turn back on after X seconds. There are other ways you could have the S31 do operational checks but ultimately ESPHome is probably an interesting consideration and supported by tons... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Fixing a broken smart cat feeder with ESP32

  They're pretty great and compatible with most things. ESPHome [1] is a great resource for getting ESP32's working nicely with HA and you can find lots of projects using it to learn from. You'll likely need to do soldering if you want to connect sensors, batteries and the like. Personally I really like what SEEED Studio [2] does with their ESP32 boards and they have nice docs. 1. https://esphome.io/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• How to connect a SwiftUI app to NodeMCU ESP32

  Maybe you could set up ESPHome on the ESP32. It might make connecting those components easier, plus a decent web server built in. Then your app can be set up to access data provided by the ESPHome web server. Source: 7 months ago
