Any Tintin++ users out there willing to share tips? This is the only #MUD client I can get working on #Stormux, and to be honest, the scripting just to add a simple trigger and the error messages are confusing to me. I'm trying to set up some simple triggers for Erion MUD and having a hard time figuring out what I'm doing.

Question to #blind #linux users: I'm stuck using my #RaspberryPi500 as my computer for a bit because my PC quit working. Can anyone recommend a #Mastodon client? I'm on #Stormux, based on #ArchLinuxArm.

In better news, Linux has a (work in progress) book reading package!

Okay, so some good news for once. I got the #stormux Raspberry Pi distribution running on a Pi 400. Makes me want to buy a Pi500 later on, but I think once my BTSpeak gets here I'll be all enamored with it. Anyway, it works. The Fenrir key being the Super key takes a second to get used to, but I'll deal with it. I'd so much rather it be the capslock key.

So, my "Linux in bed" dream is a reality. Of course, with the BTSpeak it'll be even better. But Stormux isn't bad, and even comes with a getting started utility for connecting to Wi-fi, setting location, filling out the SD card space, all that.

Stormux - The accessible Linux distribution for the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5

Stormux - The accessible Linux distribution for the Raspberry Pi 4 and 5

From the Stormux mailing list:

Howdy All,

I have been working on I38 after receiving some feedback from people who tested it. To everyone who did test, thank you for your time and help. Here is a non exhaustive list of changes:

- The menu has been completely revamped. It no longer requires expanding every submenu just to see the programs listed there. It is still accessed with alt+f1.
- A new panel mode with informational and task oriented items, weather, bluetooth (optional), system information, power controls (optional), and notes. To access the panel press control+alt+Tab. Because it's not a traditional tray, applications cannot be moved or minimized to it. Also, remind has been moved to the panel, and there is an experimental magic wormhole GUI.
- New installations open a guide that will hopefully be useful to new users. This only happens the first time i3 is launched after generating a new config.
- Updated README.

If no one finds any problems or reports bugs, I will make a new tag for the current stable version in the next few days.

Thanks,
Storm

To people who use #HomeAssistant, do you need #NodeRed to get the most out of it? Found this guide to setting up HomeAssistant in #Docker that helped me get both installed, but Node-Red's interface is pretty much unusable with a #ScreenReader, and I'm thinking of uninstalling it.

Wondering if I should switch my #RaspberryPi OS from #Stormux, based on #ArchLinuxARM, to #HomeAssistantOS. I mostly work with it over SSH anyway and this might allow me to do more with it. What do others who #SelfHost think?

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿️🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

#SelfHosted #LinkAce Bookmark Manager Running, but Unable to Check for Updates or Generate a Cron Token

Hi all. Hoping someone in the #SelfHosting community can help here. I'm running LinkAce in #Docker behind non-Dockerized #Caddy and #Authelia, and most things are working, but I'm seeing "Could not check for updates" at the bottom of each page, and when I tried to generate a cron token, nothing happened except for the generate button graying out. I am seeing one or two 404 errors in my logs, but I don't know if that's causing the problem or not. I don't know much about #PHP applications.
