Do you have any articles discussing this? I’m interested to learn more as someone who doesn’t live there.

It’s good to plant trees, but beware of folks using it as cover to avoid more important work like actually reducing fossil fuel usage: https://art19.com/shows/the-climate-deniers-playbook/episodes/5322de3f-ffc0-4258-a890-c648f59bc195

It is expensive but that Frient keypad is what I have and it’s fantastic. Been running it for about a year now and it’s rock solid. I’ve even repurposed Nest tags to work with it.

If you click the switch plan link in the blog post it’ll let you change. That’s what I had to do.

I’ve been using Neo Launcher for a while as a Nova replacement and it’s pretty good. Both of those features are included as well as things like shortcut actions when you double tap or swipe on the home screen.

I don’t use it with Alarmo but it would work just fine if I understand how Alarmo functions. I installed it 6 months ago and it still reads as 100% (though who knows how accurate that is). It does require some beefy batteries though so I tend to believe it. The battery reading is coming through Z2M.

Hope that helps! Here’s a helpful thread about getting it working and setting up RFID tags (I used old Nest Secure tags with no issues).

I’ve been using this and it works great!

That’s definitely its focus, but if you want a very simple store it does support payments: https://ghost.org/help/ecommerce/

If you’re willing to accept JavaScript I’d recommend a Ghost setup. Pretty good platform once it’s set up and easy to selfhost. Not sure you’ll find a platform without JS for your use case tbh.

That’s a really good idea. Just checked and c/strong_towns does actually exist! It’s not active but if we all start using it we could make it into something.

There’s a ton of good resources out there! If you’re in North America, Strong Towns is a great place to start. On YouTube there are great channels like Not Just Bikes, RMTransit, and City Beautiful.

I’m into this too. Is there a good Lemmy community dedicated to urban planning and infrastructure?

Haven’t used it yet, but Proton has a beta desktop app that might be what you’re looking for.

F-Droid apps typically lag behind GitHub releases because their build pipelines are different. So in this case the latest version (which supports the freshrss API) isn’t available on F-Droid yet.

I don’t know of anything built for that purpose but you could use home assistant dashboards to pull it off pretty easily if you already have an instance set up.

The solutions you’ve mentioned aren’t exactly equivalent. Proxmox is a hypervisor while Docker Swarm and Kubernetes are container orchestration engines. For example, I use Proxmox in a highly available cluster running on three physical nodes. Then I have various VMs and LXC containers running on those nodes. Some of those VMs are Kubernetes nodes running many Docker containers.

I highly recommend Proxmox as it makes it trivial to spin up new containers and VMs when you want to test something out. You can create and destroy VMs in an instant without messing with any of your actual hardware. That’s the power of a good hypervisor.

For orchestration, I would actually recommend you just stick with Docker Compose if you want something very simple to manage. Resiliency or high-availability usually brings with it a lot of overhead (both in system resources as well as maintenance costs) which may not be worth it to you. If you want something simple, Proxmox can run VMs in a highly-available mode so you could have three Proxmox nodes and set any VMs you deem essential to be highly-available within the cluster.

For my set up, I have certain services that are duplicated between multiple Proxmox nodes and then I use failover mechanisms like floating IP addresses to automatically switch things over when a node goes down. I also run most things in Kubernetes which is deployed in a highly-available manner across multiple Proxmox nodes so that I can lose a physical node and still keep (most) of my services running. This however is overkill for most things and I really only do it because I use my homelab to learn and practice different techniques.

I’ve been running Teleport for a while now and it’s been great. It can even manage access to things like Kubernetes clusters which is fantastic in my use case. I’ve been using their free community edition and no complaints so far.

Thanks for the link! I’ve been running Proxmox for years now without any of the issues like the previous commenter mentioned. Not that they don’t exist, just that I haven’t hit them. I really like Proxmox but love hearing about alternatives. One day I might get bored and want to set things up new with a different stack and anything that’s more free/open is better in my book.

I actually ran into this just the other day on some refurbished Hue bulbs. I was able to reset then without any remote or app using this method. Just make sure to do it 2-3 times in a row or until the bulbs start flashing.

Bungie didn’t do it. It was a community member just having laugh.
