  • That’s strange. I’m using the old Jellyfin addon (not the JellyCon), and so far only encountered one bug in total, which, if you are familiar with kodi addon ecosystem, is basically unheard of. And even that one is related to my non-standard manual configuration that allows me to use WebDAV instead SMB or NFS. It’s using the wrong type of escaping for certain special characters, which is understandable, because who in their right mind uses WebDAV?









  • IKEA devices apparently work very well with Aqara

    When it comes to zigbee devices, don’t combine the aqara wall switches with large (4 buttons) ikea remotes.

    The wall switches tend to execute the commands from the remotes instead of just routing them to the coordinator.

    My Zigbee network also improved a lot when I set up some IKEA plugs in the loft.

    I have similar experience with the ikea bulbs. More of them I connect, more stable the whole network gets.

    That’s not a slow laptop. I’ve been daily driving worse for years.

    To protect the data from random thief just browsing through the files I still use ecryptfs. It only encrypts the home directory, and the keys are derived from my accounts password, so no extra hassle.

    The encryption is weak by the current standards, and wouldn’t stop a determined attacker, but it’s 100% better than nothing, and I’ve never noticed any performance problems.


  • Gmail offers imap amd smtp access. You have to enable 2FA, and then it will allow you to create account for so called “less secure apps”.

    In your place, I’d either continue using gmail directly, or finish the configuration of the self hosted mail server and just use that with any smtp/imap client. I suggest getting a separate domain for testing first, before moving your primary inbox there.







  • TIL: Some people actually like their laptop to wake up after openning the lid!

    I’ve used Elitebooks with elementary for years and found the wakup after pressing a button logical.

    What pissed me off about probooks/elitebooks was that they woke up to inform me about the low battery, then went back to sleep due to low battery, then wake up, sleep, wake up, sleep, wake up… and the agony went on until the sweet death. I’ve never felt so sorry for a non living object before or after.

    Oh, and also elementary can’t go to sleep from the lockscreen, on any hardware. One of those those bugs that I’m always sure will be taken care of in the next release, but it never is.
