UPDATE:
I did not find where DOODS2 or any other add on stores any info, but I did discover that you can simply create a directory in the /share/ and point to it. I created /share/doods/ and added my .onnx model and got it to work. The model needs work, but I believe it is actually my model now.

I recently installed DOODS2 for doing some image analysis stuff using my cameras. And a friend and I are working on a custom model based on YOLO, but using my collected training data. The model is trained, and it works pretty damn well when you just send images at it. So I want to deploy it in DOODS2. The documentation is pretty good for what you have to do: just move your model into the 'models' directory inside DOODS, and add a stanza to the config.yaml...

problem arises when you can't find the damn 'models/' directory!!! All of the documentation is saying it should be somewhere, but I can't find it anywhere... come to think of it, I can't find where ANY of the add-ons are storin

Enchiladas.

Made some seitan “ground beef” cooked some squash, onions and mushrooms up. Mixed it all together with a bit of refried beans to stick it all together, wrap em up, slather with green enchilada sauce, top with cheez. So damn good.

I travel a lot on weekends, so I often don’t get to watch my teams Sunday game. There used to be a site where you could go and watch the recordings of the past weeks games, but I can’t seem to find anything like that lately.

Anyone know of a way without paying $500 for NFL Sunday ticket?

I have a Shelly dimmer 2 behind one of the switches in my kitchen running Tasmota. There are two switch inputs on the Dimmer module, so I have it behind a 2 gang wall box with two physical switches. Each switch is connected to one of the switch inputs of the Shelly.

I've set the switches to be independent of each other, so I can potentially use the different switches for different triggers. Switch one is configured as a push button switch and dims my kitchen lights. Switch two does nothing. I desire to have switch2 trigger my dining room lights, so after some digging I discovered that I can use MQTT to make Home Assistant do stuff! Perfect.

But not perfect. I set up an automation to listen for this devices' MQTT topic "tele/lights_kitchen/SENSOR" and when the switch is flipped either up or down, my mosquitto broker hears that topic, and it just toggles my lights! I thought I had it all figured out. But what I didn't notice at first, is that the Shelly Dimmer pings out an MQTT

So, I have my desktop configured with two drives, one has a regular windows install on it that I need to play games with my brother. That works fine.
My second drive originally had Debian on it. But I wanted to also install EndeavorOS. At this point in time, all 3 work, but the selection process to access each system is painfully different.

To access Windows, I just boot from cold, and hit enter or wait for the timer to run out on Windows booting. But when I hit esc to cancel booting Windows, it brings me to Debian's GRUB selector. But I think when I installed EOS I used the default settings, and I believe it doesn't use GRUB by default (systemd). So the GRUB menu I get only has Debian or Windows. If I hit 'esc' again I am brought to the grub> command line. Here the only thing I know how to do is type "exit" and it closes this grub> cmd line and opens another, very similar one. I type 'exit' again and I am finally met with EndeavorOS's boot selector (I believe this is systemd

EDIT: It seems something is causing my wireguard hanshake to fail. I can't find much on this particular error except "try rebooting the wg server". I rebooted everything, and I can't get it to connect unless the clients are already connected to the home wifi.

So I installed wg-easy on my one of my virtual machines on my proxmox "homelab". It seems to be working, and I installed the client wireguard-tools on my phone (via app), and on my laptop (EndeavorOS), and on my minecraft server (mineOS also in proxmox).

The web client for wg-easy shows all 3 clients connected and transmitting data.

I used my routers app to open the port to the wg-easy server.

I attempted to use my phone's cell network to pretend like I am not home, and simply ping my minecraft server. I tried with the wg ip (10.8.0.x) and I tried pinging the normal wlan ip (192.168.x.x). Neither work. I'm really confused as to why this simple test didn't work. The documentation on wireguard's site is pretty sparse wh

Okay, I am super new to tiling windows managers, and let me just say - Sway made me an instant convert. I'm obsessed. But I still have no clue what I'm doing.

So I have been trying out every status bar I can to see what looks good, what feels good, and what has the best efficiency for some of my SUPER low-grade hardware.

This brings me to yambar. It is touted as the most resource efficient status bars, and because I only want to see a few things (battery, ram, cpu, volume, time/date), I figured it was a good fit. I downloaded and installed it (used AUR) and I had a few issues getting it installed, but eventually go there. (I should probably say right now that I'm also new to Arch. All my previous Linux experience has been Debian based.)

So now that yambar is installed, I snagged the example config.yaml and moved/renamed it to ~/.config/yambar/config.yaml. Now most of the previous status bars I've been trying required you to add/change something in the `~/.config/sway/con

Hi all, recently I got my partner an older Lenovo laptop (x280) to replace her aging Chromebook. I swapped the windows OS for Linux, and installed MC, hoping to get her into playing with me. She does enjoy playing, but that computer is just too weak to run it without it looking like shit and lagging like crazy. I'd like to get her something else that would be dedicated to playing minecraft, but because it would EXCLUSIVELY be for playing MC, I don't want to spend a lot of cash. It doesn't have to be a laptop (I'd expect it to be cheaper to not be one), but I'd like it to be smaller than a full-fledged desktop. Her current x280 has an intel i7 (1.9ghz) and 16GB RAM, so I'm guessing the issue is the video card or lack there of. I'm not looking for minimum specs, so answers from official documentation is pretty hard to apply here. Does anyone have any experience running MC smoothly on something like a NUC or other miniPC?

I have a Shelly Dimmer2 flashed with Tasmota. It has two 'switch' inputs. I have the shelly installed behind a two-gang switch box with the two inputs connected to two different switches. But currently, if I flip either switch, the same light is flipped (the one connected to the output of the Shelly Dimmer)

I thought I could disconnect one of the switch inputs, and use it to send an MQTT message to a different light in my HA config. Effectively using one Shelly device to convert two 'dumb' switches into smart ones.

I have dug through the docs at Tasmota, and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Am I using the wrong keywords?

I recently installed Debian 12 using Xfce on my SUPER old chromebook to extend its life. Everything has been really nice so far. But I use the chromebook for browsing 90% of the time, so I like to have everything as easily operated as possible, and I am used to being able to navigate forward and back in the browser using two finger swipe gestures.
After some googling, I saw that the support for this just got added in Wayland environments. That implies that it already existed in X11 environments? After a while, I found that if you hold 'alt' you can use the swipe gestures. It defeats the purpose of gestures if you have to use both hands, so I was hoping there was a way to get this functionality back.

(Mozilla Firefox version = 115.6.0esr)

Background: I'm not "new" to linux, but this is my first year daily driving it. I have been running Mint on my main PC for a little over a year, and I love it.

My super old chromebook (Acer c720) has reached end of life. It is no longer supported by Google, and will not receive updates. I've toyed with dual-booting it to Linux in the past with Bodhi, but eventually it broke, and I ended up reverting to ChromeOS. That was years ago, and my patience/knowledge has grown, and I'm committed to switching.

So the other day I went ahead and pulled the trigger. I removed the write-protect screw from the Chromebook's motherboard, and installed Debian 12. I really just chose Debian because I already had a flash drive with the ISO on it for a different project (rooting my Dreame vacuum). It also runs GNOME by default, and I had never used that, so I thought it would be worth a try.
Turns out, I didn't mind GNOME, and I really loved the three-finger swipe to switch workspaces. BUT... Th

I want to get my partner a replacement for an aging chromebook. I was thinking it would be easiest to just grab another super budget chromebook and call it a day. But the more I read about google and chrome, the less I want to do with them.

So my goal is to snag a cheap ($300ish?) laptop that I can slap Linux on (probably mint, but I’m open to suggestions).

The main caveat is the size- needs to be small. Current chromebook is 11.5” I think. I’d like to keep it under 13”. The main use (95% will be web browsing/streaming/email/bullshit) but I’d like it to have enough juice to play Minecraft on my local server.

I’ve looked around a bit, but my god there is a lot of options. I’d love it if there was just a recommendation that was proven to work. I’m busy enough tinkering with all the other tech, and I’d like to just set this one up and forget it.

Currently I’ve got 12 can lights in my living room, entry, and kitchen. Three different sections, all controlled by an inovelli red switch.

All of the existing can lights are just LED chips with an E27 adapter. They are all locked in a specific color temp (4000k is my fav).

After using the adaptive lighting integration, I am convinced I want my whole house to have the ability to change brightness and color temp. I’d like to do this as cheaply as possible.

One option is smart bulbs. That’s 12 bulbs, plus the dumb can light bulb cover things. What is the cheapest bulb for this? This solution doesn’t take advantage of the very fancy inovelli switch either.

Any way to leverage the nice switches, and have “dumb lights” that can be controlled via the switch? I know this sounds impossible, because there is no data going to the bulbs that would allow changing the color temp, but I just can’t stand the idea of buying 12 smart bulbs.

Got some friends together to help us roll some sushi. Here are some of the prettier attempts!

Based mostly on the serious eats recipe. We added siracha to the Mayo, and smashed avacado to the toasted bun.

I also don’t think the marinade needs to go on the tofu much before grilling. Just a quick rub to get the color for grilling. Then I spread a layer of the marinade on the bun.

Portland pub bun. Game changer.

I’ve finally configured my garden and landscaping on drip irrigation, but I’m using some dumb valves hooked up to my house hose spigot.

I would absolutely love a smart valve that I can have better control of the schedule, or respond to sensors.

After some looking around, it seems like “Rachio” is the only integration I can find for something like this. It’s a bit pricy ($99 per valve), and it looks like it needs a wifi hub to work. Has anyone used this integration successfully?

Is there any other options? There seem to be lots of “Bluetooth” controllers available in the big box stores, but I’m guessing they will need an app or something?
