Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If you save someone's life and then you save her life again next year, how many lives did you save?
1·17 days agoAlthough a ‘he’ could also have a womb. It’s interesting how OP has assigned a gender to this post, not really oddly specific but getting there.
There are so many. Shadowland for example.

homeassistant@lemmy.world•How to handle lights that are physically powered off (but Home Assistant still sees as "on")?English
2·27 days agoTo add, I found some old Philips switches might have reacted badly to this, because they drained battery super fast afterwards. Like a month or two. I switched them all to cheap Ikea switches which work as usual and drain very slowly. All working nicely and I can make toggle buttons work like you described even if some lights are cut off from power.
But yeah there might be problems with certain devices and drain.

2·28 days agoThis might be true for the majority of cases, but it really depends on your mesh network, what devices drop and your needs. It works perfectly in my case.

7·28 days agoThe right answer: enable the online/offline detection in zigbee2mqtt. I forget the name of the setting though (edit: it’s called availability). This might increase power consumption on some battery devices. You can then check if devices are available in your scripts and ignore their state if not.
It has a delay until offline state is detected, the delay can be tweaked as far as I know, but is a tradeoff with battery powered devices consumption.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux continues to grow and has reached a new peak of 3.20% in the November 2025 Steam Hardware & Software SurveyEnglish
4·1 month agoIsn’t that just the language choice? I always use english for any OS because the translations just suck in my opinion, and make it harder to find any settings or menus. I assume it might be also partly caused by the translation not being ideal?
I find it weird if the admin was pushing for anything besides Linux. Especially apple/windows. But I know nothing about china
Try this FREE mystery horror puzzle text game where you are doing detective work… of sorts?
I got so hooked and absolutely loved it all the way.
Don’t be fooled by the cover graphic or name.

Ps. It’s playable on browser on any platform, you can save to disk, and did I say it’ FREE?
Thanks for the additional digging.
Is it totally open source? Because I am not suited to verify this - I can only see that at some point it was not open source while claiming to be, and relied on binary blobs. Their server side code? Cannot know what is in there (of course). Running your own server? Cannot really vet the code either, so until it becomes still more popular I cannot trust it yet.
I mean, it is probably fine, I hope it is.
They have scrubbed Zhou from the company info page. They were listed as founder before among the two other people (who may or may not be real - this is another question mark I saw). This scrubbing could, of course be non nefarious. But I think this could have and should have been communicated better.
But instead they seem to shut down discussion: https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/discussions/1159#discussioncomment-3312105
None of this has to mean anything much but I personally will continue with paid options still for now and keep hoping rd would turn out alright!

It doesn’t need to be, I just won’t go near it if they communicate like this and do stuff like change their users’ system settings without prompting. You can do a search for rustdesk controversy and have a look yourself. Just looking at how they hide the company’s chinese origins and their communication style when they are asked for clarification… That’s enough for me. Everyone should be paranoid when installing apps, and this is for remote control, no less.
Edit 2: see also their claims of open source while people could not compile a working version without a pre compiled binary blob. Maybe they fixed that? Or not?
Edit: I want to add, I want an open source software like that, I hope they would turn up good. Just going to watch from over here.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Rustdesk's lesser known featuresEnglish
324·2 months agoIt seems they were trying to hide the app being Chinese, added a trusted certificate on your machine without prompting, complaints about not really being open source, etc. It doesn’t look very good to me at this point.
Search around a bit and you will find these issues being raised by people, at the same time the answers fron the team seem very dismissive and amount to “please no politics here”.
Check the wikipedia page edits as well, weird stuff. I don’t like weird stuff when choosing a remote control software.
Rather paying Anydesk than using this. At this point at least.
Edit: to add, rustdesk was using and sending data to a chinese server for some reason. At least they got an EU one instead, at least according to wikipedia, but that could just resend whatever data forward. This is all just what I see on the net though. But, enough for me to choose something else.
I would not touch it, seems very sketchy, and with this sort of program you need total trust

Use curl.exe otherwise you might invoke the default powershell alias curl which has different syntax (just learned of this here somewhere some time ago in a meme)
