I haven’t had a chance to run it in production, no. But I did make an experimental branch where I replaced some pages of my old company’s production app (which is a React app) and was able to re-create all the necessary functionality in a lot less code. So stuff like authn and authz worked correctly, desktop notifications and sounds were working (with just a few likes of JS glue code), and I was able to replicate a reasonably complex set of UI updates.

LiveView does use JavaScript code to subscribe to a web socket, parse and apply the page diff and send back events. You just don’t need to write your own JS to use most of its features. I know nothing about UX Live so I can’t comment on it. Sorry if that’s pedantic, but I’m interpreting “works without relying on JavaScript” as “works without any JS code running at all” which is not the case.

With that out of the way, htmx is similar and one of my favorite tools for building dynamic apps without having to write a single line of my own JS.

omg yes bestie I am also trans

I use Rust because I’m gay

My best strategy has been to use Lemmy, and then if I liked a post shared here, I would check if that post came from a site with an RSS feed.

I’ve also been reading posts on bubbles.town and finding lots of fun niche little blogs to subscribe to. Bubbles has its own RSS feeds, too, sharing the highest-voted posts.

Also, more relevant to this community, I’m watching feeds for releases for most of the software I’m running.

OpenCloud might be an option. I plan to give it a try sometime soon, but I haven’t yet, so I have no other useful info about it other than it exists and it’s for file sharing & collaboration.

I’ve been using the Eufy Security ecosystem, which stores video locally, usually on MicroSD cards or a hub device with built-in storage. And there are zero monthly fees. It has a pretty good app for accessing everything remotely. The devices aren’t super cheap but the prices aren’t crazy either, I think they’re good products for the money.

the minisplits I have don’t have an actual thermostat. I use esphome controllers to control each one via wifi

There’s a “Generic Thermostat” helper entity that lets you point to other sensors and switches and then you can use all the thermostat features in HA.

The manual notification works, yep. And it’s using a vibration sensor, which looks to be working. I can see the Automation getting triggered, and the trace says it’s executing the notification step. The notif just never seems to arrive.

Edit: I tested again and it worked. Who knows what it could have been.

I set up crowdsec on all my internet-facing services. Couldn’t seem to get the online dashboard connected but I could at least confirm that it can block requests.

I’m also struggling with a new Home Assistant automation to send a live notification to my phone when my washer and dryer are running. The notification action works when I run it manually, and the automation as a whole gets triggered when the machine is on, and Home Assistant says it activates the notification, but I get nothing on my phone during a real test. Gonna keep fiddling.
