If, like me, you have a #HomeAssistant setup with lots of #ZigBee devices and you use ZHA to manage them, then this might be useful reading. Thanks to @npub1mvj…jlw0 for the link.

Sadly, I think the time has come to abandon #NixOS after many months, and go back to Ubuntu. There are many things I love about the Nix world, enough for me to spend long hours trying to make it work, and it's a fun intellectual exercise, but I think it's clear that, as Saruman would say, "You have chosen the way of pain".

Not quite what you asked for, since I can’t yet give a personal recommendation, but I have had Listmonk (like Dan Q) above on my ‘want to try’ list for some time, along with https://github.com/ElliotKillick/rss2newsletter .

In case useful, I've used https://yarpp.com for related posts, and XYZ SMAP for cross-posting, for a long time.

@npub1mvj…jlw0 Spent a couple of hours demoing Tailscale to a client today. Think they’re going to adopt it, which should allow us to delete several tedious compliance-related tickets from our queue. :-)

The biggest surprise on my recent visit to other parts of the Netherlands: I already liked Amsterdam and Utrecht, but I hadn't realised there are *loads* of other towns that are just as nice for the same kind of reasons. I think my favourites were Leiden and Edam, but you can improve almost any town, I think, but including trees, boats and canals in all the streets. Why hasn't the rest of the world discovered this yet? 🙂

I’ve recently done a new little video about it if interested 🙂 https://youtu.be/HRC_o63-CEk
