Hey all, anyone know if there are any directions on how to swap out to the assist_satellite from this depreciated sensor? Normally when there is a swap like this, the Home_Assistant folks give us some directions, but I can't find squat on this.

Hey All, When my desktop was Windows, I'd use my desktop to rip DVD/Blu-rays, move them to the movies folder, then use robocopy to copy just new files from my desktop to my Plex server. Used switches to copy just the new files and folders.

What is the Linux equivalent to do this?

Hey All,

I'm looking for a good softphone in Linux. I tried Linphone, but it had the same issue I had in Windows where I could send texts ok, but can't send and receive calls. In Windows, I used Microsip since it worked as soon as I configured it. Linphone seems to be "special." Any suggestions?

And I don't care about video calls.

Hey all, noob here. In the system settings of Pop OS I chose dark mode. At first everything was fine. But something happened. This issue is only happening in the Show Applications area. It is dark mode, but the text is all black instead of switching over to a lighter color like it did before. Makes it tough to read as you can see in the screenshot. I've tried flipping to light mode and then back to dark mode several times of varying length with no success. Any tips to get it back to normal?

Bonus issue: I have uninstalled OpenRGB, but it is still showing up in the app list as you can see in the screenshot. Any way to remove it? If I reinstall OpenRGB, I get a second icon.

So just got my computer switched over to Pop! OS.

When I open the Pop Shop, the installers don't give me an option to change the location of the app installs. I have 4 disks, 2 nvmes, 2 hard disks. I would prefer to install some of my apps to the 2nd nvme, which I have mounted to /Apps. Mainly the games I will play, along with Stream and Lutris.

Would I need to install from the terminal with apt or nala? I installed nala because it looks cleaner, but we'll see.

Hey everyone, I recently acquired the 4k77, 4k80, and 4k83. However, the 4k80 one looks grainy. 77 and 83 look clear in comparison. Did I just get a bad copy, or does 4k80 have issues?

Has anyone got Home Assistant to work with an IP phone as a local voice control?

I have a Grandstream GXP 2140, and I cannot get it talking to HA for the functionality. It doesn't have the same settings as the Grandstream pots to IP Phone device from the article.

I have Whisper and Piper installed, and showing up under the Wyoming protocol. I have the IP Phone addon installed, but it never detects my phone.

T-Mobile is positioning to act like Comcast. Can't ignore it anymore.

Hey everyone, I've started playing around with Assist to use voice to kick off actions. However, I want to put an Assist widget on my Android home screen. The directions from HA say to open your widgets, go to Home Assistant, then long press the Assist widget. However, when I go to select a widget, there is no Assist widget available.

I have Assist setup and I can access it from the mobile app. But I would like a shortcut so I can quickly access it.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Or is the documentation out of date?

Phone: OnePlus 9, running Android 13.
Hopefully this isn't an OxygenOS issue.

So I installed i2p on a Linux Mint VM. I'm able to see i2p sites, but I'm also able to browse clearnet sites, which I thought would not work. Does the default Linux installer configure an exit node by default?

Are we going to block Meta's Threads.net? I get it if people want to keep things open. However, Meta is a proven bad actor. They claim they didn't put in ActivityPub because it was too complicated to get it done at launch, and they can't get EU approval of their service because of the rampant and invasive data they gather. IMHO, they are going to attempt to muscle the fediverse out of the equation.

This evening as I'm browsing Lemmy, I'm getting nostalgic for the other, past experiences of something new and rough around the edges. I open a tab to We Distribute, and find an article on Radio Free Fedi.

I read it and click the link to Radio-browser.info. I click around exploring some music. Notice there is a Home-Assistant integration. Then I fire up my instance of Home-Assistant to install it. LOL, I already have it installed. I click around exploring radio stations. I'm reminded of the early internet days of icecast streams playing in Winamp. New, exciting, rough around the edges. I pull at threads of memory.

I browse to SomaFM and fire up Groove Salad in WinAmp. I listen, I chill, I pull at threads farther back. I pick up my Kindle and open up the book, Neuromancer. Reading, grooving, chilling. I'm remembering a past that didn't quite exist, reading about an imagined 80s future that never quite came to be. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
