What this article didn’t say was that Tod Maffin (the organizer) used to work for the CBC (where the article was written). He was a technology columnist for CBC radio. I actually met him a couple of times when he was on my side of the country (Nova Scotia).

Damn it. This is one of my favourite bands. What’s the protocol here, am I still allowed to like them? What if they get a new drummer?

The docker config is nothing special:

collabora:
    hostname: collabora
    image: collabora/code
    restart: "no"
    privileged: true
    cap_add:
      - MKNOD
    networks:
      - default
    env_file: collabora.env
    ports:
      - 8054:9980

Env: Besides username, password, and this line:

extra_params=--o:ssl.enable=true

I have 2 other variables set: domain and aliasgroup1. Is domain supposed to refer to the Collabora domain or the NextCloud domain? I actually can’t remember where I got the aliasgroup1 from, but it was probably during my googling to try and get things working. I remember reading that the ‘.’ characters had to be escaped because those lines were used in a reflex.

Hrm…I must have had something else wrong because I’m experiencing the same thing. I try to load a document that I created with the menu and it seems to time out. I thought that it was because of my Caddy config, but perhaps it wasn’t.

I only get: Document loading failed Failed to load Nextcloud Office - please try again later

Like the author of that article, I had never heard about Huginn until just now, but when IFTTT went down the shitter for me (around 2018) was about the same time I started using Home Assistant. I found that HA had every one of the service connections available that I used to use through IFTTT, so I naturally just re-implemented all of my flows as automations. HA has only added capabilities since those earlier days. It’s not just for “home” automation.

If you’re interested in more graphical representations of your automations, HA can have NodeRed as a plug-in.

Thankyou! Nextcloud itself wàs never a problem, but the Collabora stuff would just not work properly with any config I tried. I’m going to make another attempt with these settings as soon as I get the chance.

You didn’t forget about me, did you? :(

The elephant in the room…

If I could not just migrate to a new instance, but actually convert my existing (self-hosted, single-user) Mastodon instance to a GoToSocial instance, I would do it tomorrow. I don’t want to lose the domain I picked for my Mastodon instance though.

I remember seeing somebody working on a project to convert the Mastodon database to a GTS database, so this may yet happen.

Edit: Found it. It was an issue in the GTS GitHub repo: https://github.com/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial/issues/128

Exactly my feelings when I heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit” called “classic rock” a few years ago.

Create a docker container without explicitly naming it. Job done.

Has anyone here installed friendica? I tried to give it a go yesterday with the the docker image. The login page is showing up, but it is giving me HTTP 500 errors when I click sign up I also get no errors in any logs.

I…honestly thought I just did that. I want to have an irregularly-shaped zone. I don’t see why they couldn’t logically be grouped, you just aren’t able to do it right now.

Anyway, thanks for reading what I typed.

I am pretty sure I’m not confused. I want to group zones together so they can be used in automation triggers and I can change the group’s membership and not have to change every automation trigger. The group’s state should indicate the number of person entities that were in any zone in the group.

I’m not talking about areas at all.

Just to be clear, I don’t believe grouping zones is currently possible. It’s just a want I have.

Like when you create a zone, it’s a circle. It has a radius. I want a zone that is an arbitrary shape, so I compose it out of several smaller zones. I want to formally make it a single zone in Home Assistant by grouping them. Currently you can’t add zones to groups or create a zone with type: group or anything like that.

I see what you did there.

Navidrome is still the best music server, even with all of its limitations. For what it’s worth, the developer is currently working on features intended to support multiple music libraries. It’s going to happen eventually.

Did they ever explain what the hand motions the old woman was doing were all about?

I still don’t understand WTF Ruby’s mother had to do with Sutekh. Why was knowing who she was important to the god of death?

Does nextcloud deck have recurring tasks yet? I didn’t think it did.
