Not Matter but this one looks interesting : https://blog.prusa3d.com/a-cheap-smart-light-controller-thanks-to-3d-printing_136243/

Nonono, I have a better idea : change nothing and lets just capture it!

I have always found it odd that tech/IT is not more unionized and supervised by some sort of professional order.

Doctors, nurses, construction workers, airline pilots etc are all deemed important trades and professions that require some form of professional order to supervise and attest the competency of the labor.

But for some reason IT is all like “you watched some Youtube videos, got certified by Cisco 15 years ago? All set to configure the security of our healthcare network”. I am exaggerating obviously but still… IT is so intertwined in everything some sort of professional order would make sense. And union definitely.

I am older and also mad at this shit ahow.

On s’entend, de la gestion de rendez-vous, (et plus largement de soins de santé/patient) il y a plusieurs projets OSS qui le font. Partez de ces bases là et ajustez le fonctionnement ou ajouter des fonctionnalités.

C’est tellement un mauvais modèle pour du gouvernement de payer du saas. Tu a pas le logiciel, c’est compliqué et dispendieux à modifier. Tu es à la merci du fournisseur (même si c’est Québecois).

Avec 12 millions en (aux?) 6 mois tu peux te payer pas mal de travail de développement en plus d’un bon hébergement pour ta plate-forme. Si tu t’arrange pour hébergé en mode kubernetes/openshift c’est facile à déplacer de provider (ou d’héberger dans ton propre centre de données) quand le fournisseur essaie de te faire monter les prix ou se retrouve sous un gouvernement louche.

I’m going to play devil’s advocate here.

Paying a contribution will not give me the feature I want or need from a project, most project explicitly say so. Paying for a LLM to create a PR or a fork that will contain that feature is often a lot easier and a pretty good guarantee I will get it.

I am not diving into the code quality or maintainability of such PR/forks which is a whole thing in itself.

It will depend on the material under the paint. Any particulate board you will probably want to replace. Wood can be dried, sanded and repainted depending on the depth of the damage.

But you will need to check the state of the material under the paint to know for sure.

Edit: looking closer at the picture it looks like melamine maybe? If that is the case you should replace it if possible.

It looks like Freemind https://freemind.sourceforge.io/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

They need to apply this to all cars, not just the Chinese one. It’s been shown that all modern connected cars are doing it.

I like to have them on esphome. In my case I have them as Bluetooth proxies and also use them with Bermuda BLE triangulation (in addition to the air quality stuff).

I have a Airgradient One (indoor) and a Airgradient Open air (outdoor) and love them. They are Esp boards with esphome configs available. They use readily available component that makes sensors easy to replace when they wear out or loose accuracy over time.

The whole project is open and you can buy the DIY kit and build it yourself or buy a prebuilt one.

I think people will find it harder and harder to find open source projects without AI coding in it.

AI (at least with recent models) can really be a time saver and a skill booster (up to a point), and open source projects are all about people giving their time away for free. You can boycott projects that use AI all you want, but will you be giving your time and do the work AI does for the project? I think that a lot of no-AI forks of existing projects will eventually die from lack of maintenance while the original AI assisted will continue to grow.

That being said, there is also a difference between a full bro-ai-vibe coded project from someone with little technical skill or knowledge (“Claude build me the next Facebook, secure, no bugs plz” ) and a more fleshed out project using AI to assist experienced developers.

The latest release is dated 2 days ago https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum . Actively supporting is not the same as actively developing.

This should probably be taken as “I am tired of supporting everyone who did not RTFM, too bad if you can’t make it work” and is a totally reasonable thing to do, especially as the project gain more traction.

There is a pretty good community around reticulum that is usually supportive.

The reticulum project with the Sideband client is probably a lot more censorship resistant than DeltaChat or Meshtastic.

For those of you who are interested in this but don’t know where to start I think https://www.freedombox.org/ may be a good starting point. It’s been around for a long time, provides easy enough installation and a nice web interface for management. Its based on Debian and you can give it a try on their demo.

Also the vision for the project aligns pretty much with what op is saying https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/Vision

This happened to me several time in my early days with Bitwarden browser addon. I would create an entry and copy paste the password to the site before clicking save. The addon would loose the context when loosing focus and the entry was gone. I had to do several password reset after creating new entries because of this. I think they fixed this or I just got used to the flow.
