Hey hivemind, some questions in the run-up to #FOSDEM

Are people from #newpipe and/or #tubular going to attend? I'll be pretty busy, but I would love to do a half hour UI/UX feedback session.

I did one spontaneously last FOSDEM but lost the contact data, and the number of improvements in this regard is sadly zero. That's on me, and I should have retained the contact data

I'm also happy to donate and/or donate to a charity of your choosing if that helps.

Along similar lines, is someone from #tusky going to attend? I would love to do a UI/UX feedback session as well. Some things are hard to explain over text and immediately obvious in person.

And another one, though that doesn't need in-person: what's the least amount of effort to have a long-term-stable #homeassistant with #matter over #thread? I suspect a zbt-2 with the home assistant green? Are the 4GB of RAM enough? Or a #raspberrypi ? Or a N100?

And finally, I'll trade you something nice for the #3dprinting crowd at #FOSDEM. #Prusa didn't get a booth because life happened to Pavel (not on Mastodon), but there will be a Core One with high temp nozzle at the #Grafana booth. I did ask for PEKK-CF and they should be able to bring a spool. That would be fun. I touched it a few times but never printed with it.

Edit: changed PEEK to PEKK-CF, thanks @fribbledom

Oh, and another #homeassistant #matter #thread question: firmware upgrades! How does that work? Within the ecosystem e.g. the Ikea hub updates the Ikea devices automatically. But does this work cross-vendor and e.g. through home assistant?

@RichiH it does support updates, i don't have ikea bridge and i see OTA upgrades into HA, but for some reasons one of my equipment won't ugrade.

(HAos, Raspberry5, slzb-mr3u for both zigbee and matter thread support)

@RichiH I have successfully OTA upgraded new Ikea Matter/Thread devices through HA with the same UX as known from other integrations without a ikea hub, just otbr & HA. so that is that.

While searching i found the "Distributed Compliance Ledger", a blockchain where all matter vendors store metadata about their Matter devices including firmware updates. Supposedly that's where HA gets it's firmware update notifications from 🤔

@RichiH Otoh, my Nuki Lock talks directly to the vendor's servers through thread and 6to4 on the border router for firmware updates. It has a connectivity check screen in the app.
@RichiH I guess I'll finally get to see in person what the upgrade from the MK4S would bring.

@RichiH

PEEK on a Core One? Even with the high-temp nozzle, neither bed nor build chamber will be anywhere near hot enough.

@fribbledom PEEK-CF is listed as supported though I personally avoid Chopped Fiber. We'll see if a spool arrives on Friday.

@RichiH

Ah, you probably mean PEKK-CF, not PEEK-CF?

PEKK-CF is still a bit of a stretch, but I could imagine the Core One printing miniature parts with it, if you absolutely max out the Core One's bed and chamber temperature.

@fribbledom ah you're right, according to https://www.prusa3d.com/product/ht-hotend-upgrade-for-core-one-and-core-one-l/ it's PEKK-CF, not PEEK-CF. Thanks!
HT Hotend Upgrade (for CORE One/+ and CORE One L) | Original Prusa 3D printers directly from Josef Prusa

Upgrade your 3D printer with this easy-swappable 400°C HT Hotend. You will unlock the ability to print high-temp materials like PEKK-CF, PPS-CF, PPSU, and more. Plus, get improved strength and increased layer adhesion with advanced materials like ASA or PA.

@RichiH Wait a few months? The whole matter over thread stuff is still quite new and bleeding edge in home assistant, so it will take a while now the first devices hit the market for people to figure out what works and what not probally.

@evey I already bought everything from Ikea and some things from aqara. Currently on a Ikea bun, but I'll migrate to Ha for privacy reasons.

I'm fine waiting for support getting better, but I feel the hardware won't change much

@RichiH @evey The IKEA stuff with an Apple TV/HomePod (I have both) works flawlessly in my experience, as long as you don't fuck up HA receiving ICMPv6 RA Route Advertisements as I did. Otherwise get DHCPv6-PD working for a 'cleaner' setup.
@q @RichiH if your fine with a off the self TBR then doing everthing in HA works fine, if you want a opensource TBR I would wait a bit more especially if you also need zigbee next to it or you need to run two receivers.

@q @evey hard no on zigbee. I have two islands of LED lights on zigbee, one I already ripped out, gave away, and replaced with matter. But both of those zigbee island just directly connect one switch with the lights and done. No automation, integration or so ever.

I've sat things out until matter was a thing and in between Ikea, Shelly, and aqara, the floodgates have finally opened

@q @evey and the price point of Ikea is... Aggressive. They skipped the intro phase and went right for end consumer acceptable pricing; no detour through skimming-off land like aqara. The price developments will be interesting to see. What will that do to the mmwave detector by aqara? Will they price it competitively against Ikea?
And once the "alarm clock with slightly more buttons and ALL the sensors" is sold by just anyone... That is going to be very interesting

@evey @q the honest answer is, I have a fritz box and don't even know how it does v6; the Ikea thing works out of the box after an uncomfortably long wait. I did so many things and see so many things at work and volunteering, I just want my home setup to shut up and run forever.

I'll keep it in mind in case I need to decide though; that sounds like the kinda thing that costs me the week I don't have now that travel is restarting for realsies.

@RichiH @evey I got it all working properly in about 4 hours of head bashing, most of that spend trying to get prefixes out of kea on one server and into the Juniper routing table. JunOS does not like receiving random link local addreses as next hops...
@RichiH I'm not at Fosdem but I'd still love to hear your feedback!

@ConnyDuck my two main current annoyances:

You used to need to open a toot to be able to long-press a URL to copy it. Now even from the toot-specific UI, you can't do this any more. You can short-press to open, or select other text and then drag the selectors. I open all links in incognito tabs, so copying is important.

When I use a hashtag in the web UI, it tells me how many uses that hashtag saw. No such info in Tusky

@RichiH I'm pretty sure Tusky never had long-press to copy, maybe you mean another app or like 7 years ago? Anyway it is a good idea.

Where would you like to see that info? In search and autocomplete?

@ConnyDuck maybe it was an Android feature, but I assure you that it worked like this a few weeks ago, and has been for years. Not from the toot list, only from the toot details.

Even better would be an "open in incognito tab by default" if that's feasible on Android.

I mainly care about autocomplete, but search is also a good idea
