RSS-Bridge VS Home Assistant

> make the calendar available via rss.

I've thought a lot about ICS/RSS combinations[0], and my current stance is that while they achieve similar things in some cases, RSS is meant for things that happened in the past (items in the future may or may not show in your client), and calendars are meant for future events. This incompatibility makes it hard to do RSS feeds for events, unless you use event-publication-date, which has its own issues.

I've instead been working on custom calendars for sites I care about.[1] is one such attempt from someone else, but I've been focusing on simpler options[2]

There's also the problem that both Android and Windows are horrible with webcal (iOS/MacOS/Linux work decently well), making "subscribable web calendars" out of reach of most Android users, unless the understand the terrible UX that these platforms offer.

rss bridge [1] seems to do the same, but it's not coupled to any rss reader

"The RSS feed for websites missing it"

That is cool for a local feed. Have you tried it on a server?

I am able to get a lot of generally unavailable feeds using https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge running on my server. Perhaps this code could be someday brought in as a catch-all last resort.

Since everything worked as intended, I created a pull request to the RSS-Bridge repository and after a few hours my code was merged and now every public server will have a new Ko-Fi bridge for everyone to use. And since this is something I will use for myself, I will make sure to maintain it as long as possible.

I use RSS Bridge although it's unfortunate that I have to. Plus in the past week or two spam has been getting through into it which is lovely.

RSS-Bridge has a Google search adapter. You can also fake it with Searx (which offers RSS feeds of search results).

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/requirements... lists all the direct dependencies installed in the container.

It's enough for just a single direct or indirect dependency to be compromised to have a botnet or turn it into something used for surveillance against the users.

Preventing it from exfiltrating data by isolating it from the network with Internet access is the only option if you want to run it. This requires local only devices.

Accessing it through the web UI or through the mobile app will still load icons from https://brands.home-assistant.io. The details are in this ticket https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/18549

Home Assistant

This time, I attended Monitoring your home, with DevOps observability tools. I thought it would be about OpenTelemetry for your home. After the speaker mentioned Home Assistant, however, I didn't pay much attention to the rest.

The rootless .container files go into ~/.config/containers/systemd. I'm using one to run Home Assistant.

ha-aws-cost is a project from Diego Marques for folks who use Home Assistant (a very popular open source home automation system), and provides custom component interacts with AWS to get the month to date cost and forecast cost and make it available on Home Assistant. It adds two new entities 1/Month to date cost: The current cost of your AWS account, and 2/Forecasted month costs: The forecasted cost based in your current consumption. Check out Diego's post on LinkedIn that provides some more background to this project.

Nice!

For a home-rolled solution, I use a GE CYNC ST19 Edison Style bulb in a socket right outside my office door. I have it configured through Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/), and then use Hammerspoon (https://www.hammerspoon.org/) on my macbook to make an API call to Home Assistant when the camera state changes.

If my camera turns on/off, so does the light bulb. Works really well for letting my family know I'm busy in meetings.

Given these changes, I thought about reintroducing Homebridge. But upon researching, I discovered Home Assistant.
