  • They’re stuffed with wireless functionality, just so you can simply change a color or maybe dim it through phone. More unnecessary apps, more unnecessary functions just for cheap attraction.

    I got to disagree on this here, my smart lights introduced me to self hosting through Homebridge. I was able to enable HomeKit connections for non-HomeKit enabled devices which then lead me to create automations.

    I get home lights turn on, I close a door at a specific time lights turn off. It’s not as terrible as you may think.


  • So majority of distros you see are typically based off of another, as you’re already aware.

    We have Debian based distros such as Linux Mint, Ubuntu, Kali Linux, PopOS and so on, then we have Arch based distros such as Arch Linux, Manjaro, EndeavourOS and so on, and then we got Fedora based distros such Fedora, Nobara, RisiOS.

    You get the idea.

    Now if Debian were to move a package from unstable to their stable repository all these derivatives will also pick it up however, they can prioritize their own packages from their own repositories over the ones supplied by Debian.

    If you’re using Linux Mint cat /etc/apt/sources.list and also check out the files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and you’ll see the repositories your system pulls from. You can add repo’s there if you want but you have to be cautious that the packages in the repo don’t conflict with the ones already installed, that means ensuring the versions are also supported on your distro.

    I’m sure others can give more detail on Arch and Fedora based systems as I am not personally well familiar with those distros and how they store their sources files.















  • People don’t like being proven wrong, and often try to dismiss it with some variation of “Im not gonna sit here and be told the whatfer by some random idiot”

    Sounds like you’re describing yourself here.

    • Refused to accept documentation from a valid source.

    • Instead of having a discussion, you proceed with a pointless “Sure, buddy” at an attempt to deflect from the topic.

    So when it came to registering on Lemmy, that popped up in my head and bobs your uncle.

    Real nice honeypot too, every time someones wrong and backs themselves into a corner instead of admitting they are wrong, they inevitably give some variation of “living up to your user name, huh”, which just continues to prove that the actual idiot is the one lashing out like that.

    You chose to make the two comments above, I simply humoured your ignorance and lack of understanding of the subject.
