As far as I know there is no requirement for them. I assume based on the hardship to absorb the workload

In NY any private company with more than 100 employees is required to provide 12 weeks of protected time off to mothers,fathers and adoptive parents. The state collects an extra paid leave tax from our payroll that pays around 70% of your salary while youre out. You have 1 calendar year from birth/adoption to use the leave

Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Its comical that in the last 25 years Linux has gone from a nerd-only tool to something that a 10 year old can install on an air-fryer and still we deal with this bs

DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] padook@feddit.nl 3 points 9 months ago

I feel like its better than google. I switched to DDG a couple years ago. 6 months ago I did a trial run with a self hosted search that only used google as a back end, the results felt like garbage

Android Self hosting in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[โ€“] padook@feddit.nl 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have two TV boxes, one is a Raspberry pi 4, the other is a pi 5. I installed KonstaKANG's android port for the Pi's. Depending on your familiarity with flashing the Pi's this video from Explaining Computers offers a way to get Konsta installed through PINN. Once they're up and running they act just like a cellphone. This remote works really well.

Install f-droid, and/or obtainium, and/or Aurora Store and you can install whatever apps you want on the box.

I don't personally use Chromecast, so I can't vouch for that working. Mine is more centered around consuming Jellyfin (jellyfin android tv app), youtube (newpipe), podverse, and Radiodroid

I really liked Kodi, but could never get it to correctly sync across devices so I finally went the android route. I've been pretty happy

Feel free to pick my brain if you have more questions

I dont think I so much want this for my phone as for my homemade AndroidTV boxes. Losing the Linux functionality after switching from Kodi/libreelec had been my biggest pain point.

Can't wait to see my TV boxes show up in my Beszel dashboard!

HACS offers great additions to the functionality of HA, but there are so many options it feels overwhelming. What are your favorite HACS?

Ohhh that's why you run actions in Parallel (feddit.nl)

This is surely common knowledge for some of you but I thought I'd share a story, as this just made me cringe

I never understood the point in the option to "run actions in parallel" I thought if I had a list of actions to complete, HA makes it through them almost instantly, and with the varying latency of each action they wouldn't complete at the same time anyways.

Then I tested my smoke alarm notification that I have had running for over a year.

It went-

If: list of smoke alarms detects smoke Then: Turn on the lamp next to my bed, then Send a notification to my phone.

I had made an error when setting up the lamp entity. (I made it full brightness on both scales, can only use one) this stopped the automation before the notification went out to my phone.

If it's important that the automation makes it to the end, run in parallel!

Talk about a false sense of security

[Question] TV consumption SBC's (feddit.nl)
 

A few years ago I turned a pine64 rock64 SBC into a kodi box, and saw immediate performance improvement over the stock Roku chip on my TCL TV when streaming from SMB. As always "better" becomes... ehhhhh I want more. I want to stick with an SBC because of power consumption on a box that I'm going to leave running 24/7. So my question is: What's the best price to video performance SBC out there?

Self Hosting Fail (feddit.nl)
 

I woke up this morning to a text from my ISP, "There is an outage in your area, we are working to resolve the issue"

I laugh, this is what I live for! Almost all of my services are self hosted, I'm barely going to notice the difference!

Wrong.

When the internet went out, the power also went out for a few seconds. Four small computers host all of my services. Of those, one shutdown, and three rebooted. Of the three that ugly rebooted some services came back online, some didn't.

30 minutes later, ISP sends out the text that service is back online.

2 hours later I'm still finding down services on my network.

Moral of the story: A UPS has moved to the top of the shopping list! Any suggestions??
