  • If you have trouble with outgoing mails, you can use a hybrid approach.

    Receive mails directly to your server but use a mail service to relay your outgoing mails. Configuration for that is very simple in mailcow and there are a few dozen (free) transactional email providers (e.g. Scaleway).

    That way you can keep receiving your mails privately and only have to give up some privacy when sending mails.








  • I wrote an application which runs on my server and monitors my favorites on Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz. It downloads them in bulk whenever I have a premium account with one of them. Usually I purchase a month of premium every few months, at which point I get nice clean FLACs for local use.

    The FLACs are moved to Jellyfin and I stream them using Finamp, which also supports transcoding, so I keep 128 kbps Opus files for offline playback and stream the raw FLAC files when bandwidth is no concern.

    I have amassed a huge music library over the last decades, so even if all streaming websites go under tomorrow, I have enough music locally to last me a lifetime.




  • I installed them through a Windows VM, not sure if they have different firmware for PS5 and PC.

    I had a similar issue to yours where the controller would not connect or connect and not register as input. It worked fine for me after the update.

    Only problem was that I needed to unplug and plug in the Bluetooth dongle everytime I restarted the PC, for the controller to connect correctly.

    Do you have problems with other Bluetooth devices until you re-plug your adapter?


  • I am happy if someone uses AI first to come up with a coherent message, bug report, or question.

    LLMs do not add anything of value to bug reports, they add unecessary padding requiring me to filter out the marketing speech to get down to the issue. I would much rather have the raw brain dump of theirs.

    If somebody sends me their ChatGPT text I now ask them to send me their prompt instead so I don’t have to waste my time on their lengthy text that has the same amount of information as the original.

    I am annoyed if it’s ill-researched/understood nonsense, AI assisted or not.

    Being coherent is rarely the problem in bug reports, it’s the user not properly typing out what the actual issue is.

    I have gotten bullet point list bug reports that read like they were written by an insane person that were more useful than a nicely written ChatGPT message with 0 information in it.








  • Normally, yes, it would say what automation is triggering it, in this case it does not seem to be triggered by an automation.

    These are just the reports coming back from the network. So the device reported it turned on/off.

    I have these on my individual devices when the group turns on/off.

    So the group gets the correct history entry for which automation/user triggered it but all the members of the group just report “Turned on/off”.

    Maybe try toggling all your Zigbee groups on and off and see if your misbehaving devices react?
