What TV app do you use to record "live" TV and access VOD? YouTubeTV is getting rude and inserting commercials on recordings that don't already have them. -- Jonathan

Web Site
by Jonathan Hutchins 03 Feb '24

03 Feb '24

We have not seen much interest in maintaining the web site. The registration is up for renewal. I think it would be a good idea to keep the registration, if for no other reason than to prevent someone pirating it, maybe trying to sell it back to us if we ever want it. If anyone else is interested in taking responsibility, and maybe maintaining it, please let me know. If I receive no responses I may go ahead and renew it, but point it at a parking page until I can get around to making a "historical" page. Or maybe just let it rot. -- Jonathan

Free Software Google Photos alternative?
by Billy Croan 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

I'm looking for a Software Freedom alternative to Google Photos I can host myself. Mainly because my volume is too large for google to take without charging extra. But it's also just a good opportunity to remove another of google's shackles. Do any of you run your own web app for photo organizing & sharing?

Home Assistant
by Billy Croan 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Anyone in town have a working Home Assistant setup? I don't, but I'm curious to see how well it integrates, what kind of resources it needs, and how smooth it is. Or any alternative libre software home automation hubs in use in KC? I have entirely too many different brands/networks and a couple times recently. Some of them go out of their way to not interoperate and more than once I've found an HA addon that supposedly can.
