  • Vague design choice

    Jump

  • A few of you mentioned the "indent" - I never even saw it until I zoomed way in on the photo I took after you mentioned it. I can't even see it in person. My vision isn't great, but I think that suggests even more strongly a bad design.

  • I agree, if you have POTS then you can send a fax if the printer has a modem installed. I don't happen to have a POTS landline.

  • What are the main differences between GPLv2, GPLv3, AGPL, and LGPL?

  • Which HA voice assistant ollama model are you using?

    Jump

  • It's been a few weeks, @[email protected] ... Did you release anything? Any hints as to what may be coming?

  • FOSS alternatives to Google Docs?

    Jump

  • I also like/use CryptPad. FYI, it's self-hostable.

  • Looking for a FOSS alternative to Google Docs for remote collaboration

    Jump

  • Cryptpad is also self-hostable, if that's your bag.

  • Soup of Theseus

  • Let's find out. One... two-hoo... three. CRUNCH. Three.

  • Can Ollama integration also search the web?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the explanations, @[email protected].

    I introduced myself to tools/functions in Open-WebUI: there is a community library of tools/functions and you can essentially copy/paste them into Open-WebUI and then they're available there. If I understand correctly, tools add functionality to models and functions add functionality to Open-WebUI.

    I'm still confused, though: if I add a web search tool to Open-WebUI (some do exist), I would guess that it could only ever add functionality to the model if I access the model through Open-WebUI - but HA is accessing the model directly through Ollama.

  • Can Ollama integration also search the web?

    Jump

  • Thanks for the reply and the assistance, @[email protected].

    I'm not using any add-ons in Home Assistant for this integration, just the Ollama integration (but I suspect that's what you meant).

    Its docs say that it doesn't integrate with sentence triggers, so I think this suggestion won't work. :(

  • Tor Browser: Most Common Fingerprints

    Jump

  • This is interesting. Thanks for sharing your test results.

    Do I understand correctly that if your computer shares a fingerprint with fewer computers, it's more distinguishable/identifiable?

  • Anyone using a FOSS-friendly robot vacuum?

    Jump

  • When I last checked, it didn't seem difficult to flash my Dreametech L10s Ultra, but there was a step where if you didn't get it done within X seconds, you brick your vacuum. No idea if that's accurate, but didn't want to risk a $1000 vacuum on it, so I sadly still use it connected to cloud (because I want to use mapping functionality).

  • Which button does which function?

    Jump

  • Image failed to load: that's mildly infuriating!

    I'll look into this. 🙁

  • Google Drive alternative?

    Jump

  • I selfhost Cryptpad, but it sounds like it may be more than you're looking for.

  • What have you been using for cloud backups?

    Jump

  • I have a numebr of backup systems going on, but if i take "cloud" to mean "offsite" then my sution to that is a proxmox backup server set up in my home (great for proxmox PVEs but you can back up anything to them) and my friend 3000 miles away also has one in his home. We each set up sync jobs so our local backups are also stored on the remote proxmox backup server.

    Wrong community, disregard

    Jump

  • You posted something in the wrong community? That's mildly annoying. Oh but wait, that's this community, so i guess you posted it in the right community, which is not mildly annoying. But that means it's in the wrong community, which is mildly annoying...

  • M5Stack Atom Echo configuration

    Jump

  • Thanks for the help, @[email protected]

    I installed that config and still no dice. In fact, with those configs the Echo is in a worse state than with my previous configs:

    Maybe I installed those configs wrong? I just copied them into the ESPHome Building editor window for the Echo and clicked install.

  • self hosted browser sync?

    Jump

  • I use xBrowserSync for bookmark syncing. The code hasnt been touched in a few years but it still works great. Set it and forget it. There's also an android app - not sure about ios.

    But it doesnt do browser tabs - just bookmarks.

  • I've heard numerous recommendations of both sabre and radicale, but ive never used them. I use baikal for both contacts and calendars. It's simple and it works well.

  • Self-Host Weekly (9 May 2025)

    Jump

  • I like it. It feels cleaner, simpler, less busy to me.

  • What do you use for listening to podcasts?

    Jump

  • This looks cool! I was yearning for a similar feature just a few days ago. Thanks for sharing.
