If you want to host your own email server, then do that. As someone earlier in the thread said, email was the first federated messaging system. That was the entire point of SMTP. Anyone could host one and trust it would work.
I don’t know if it’s what you’re looking for, as it’s not ActivityPub based, but Postmoogle is a Matrix bridge email server, where you can send emails to it and they’ll be converted to Matrix messages. There might be a similar thing for ActivityPub?
I just poked on the demo and I think it could, however it might be a bit clunky. Maybe could be a viable thing to request of the dev. Maybe alongside a donation for a sort of bounty.
I think the point they’re making is you can effectively have a self hosted non federated option with Matrix. Just disable federation as a whole (which I’m pretty sure is completely possible. Given companies use matrix for comms, and might not want federation, for similar reasons to what is being discussed here)
Tbf, I am not a grey beard chief engineer, and I strongly prefer VHDL for design. For verification I actually really like SystemVerilog.
VHDL is strongly types, which prevents a lot of issues with types that I’ve hit with [System]Verilog.
Also, having learned VHDL first, I think it is easier to go from VHDL to Verilog, as opposed to vice versa. And this is mainly because VHDL is stricter.
Lol, so much of the FPGA industry 🤣. Especially East coast of the US
Same here.
VHDL represent. Although it’s arguably not a “programming language”
Thanks for the link. That one wouldn’t work for me as I am in the US, so the Z-Wave freq for that is wrong.
I think that I settled on something like the relay and a manual override switch, if I do anything at all.
They’re great. I already have one, and they also make a double one. They also have energy monitoring as well, which is nice. I use it for control my Christmas tree around Xmas time. I have it wired together which a foot switch thing, which is great.
Yeah, this was my thought (the fact that it’s just a relay), and I figured I could connect it’s output to the load to the switch pin on a relay instead. I am gonna look into this possibility, since it would allow for some sort of local control if things go down. My thought is I could set the temp on the physical therm to way below the target temp (in the heating months, above the target temp in the cooling). This way it kinda also acts as a fail safe. And if HA is down and we need to override it, we can. Might need to put more thought into this though.
Also, here is a Z-Wave relay I use for another project and it works well, just FYI Zooz ZEN51
Yeah, this is something I’m also toying with. Just get a relay and temp sensor and fake it out.
However this is not my first choice, as I prefer to still have control of things if HA is down or something. So I wonder if I could wire it in with the existing therm to provide the ability to override. Like when adding a real to a switch.
I don’t have control of the water temp, but I have pseudo control of the heating cooling by just turning it on or off. Which is pretty much the same premise as “normal” HVAC.
I’ve been in the process of migrating everything over do Nix. Love it so much.
What hole does Ansible fill for you? I haven’t looked into it in the past really, so just curious. I have a single Paoxmox node so don’t really need horizontal scaling orchestration.
