If you do end up trying it, let me know if you run into the issue of the UI constantly "refreshing" while editing and ruining your changes. I'm not sure how widespread the issue is.

You could check out expander card. I use it for a weather section on my dashboard.

Editing the card is really buggy for me and I'm not sure the project is still open, given the note at the bottom about the issue tracker... but after it's configured, the card has been very solid.

I like the expanding room cards. Can you share how you're accomplishing that?

Record profits drive inflation in c/antiwork@lemmy.world

As much as I hate Twitter, the feature where users can add context would be amazing on other platforms. Would love to see it on Lemmy.

But only some numbers. Apple's, for instance, is net profit from what I can see. Heinz isn't. I haven't looked into any more of them, but they're just inconsistent.

Crappy posts like this bug me so much because it makes "my side" look like we're full of shit. There are mountains of true and verified facts to support the conclusion that workers should be paid more and corporations are ruthlessly greedy.

[BUG] Have to open photos twice to see them (lemm.ee)

I updated to V23.09.13-09:43 (92) this morning. I use list view. On all picture posts, I click the thumbnail to open them and get a black screen. I tap to close and open the pic again and it displays normally.

I've tried going into the app settings to force stop and clear the cache and it did not help.

Reddit’s replacement mods may be putting its communities at risk in c/reddit@lemmy.world

That was my favorite sub, and I'm really sad it didn't take off on lemmy. I noticed it was back up on Reddit a few weeks ago and I thought about messaging you to ask if you put it back or reddit gave it to someone else. Fuck reddit.

I'm a beginner and want to use Proxmox. What should I use to make a USB hard drive accessible to other devices on my network? in c/homelab@lemmy.ml

Huh, I guess I'll just embrace it then! Thanks for the input

Alright, I'll check those out too. I have been assuming those would be more complicated to set up as a newbie

Do you think using TrueNAS or OMV is as easy as Samba? Or maybe there are some benefits that justify a little bit more challenging solution?

Would you recommend a VM or LXC to pass the drive through to/install samba?

This is helpful, thank you. I'll have to look into the different ways to accomplish this. It would feel weird to access a drive over my network when it's just from another container. Maybe it's not as weird as I think it is?

I have a mini-PC running windows. On that, I run home assistant in virtualbox, have plex installed, and a cheap USB harddrive plugged in to keep my plex media. I've turned on sharing for a folder in this drive so other devices on my network can access it.

I've watched some videos and read some tutorials. I have a pretty good idea on how I'm going to run HA and Plex, but I'm unsure about turning my USB drive into something the rest of my devices can access as well as something Plex can directly access too.

What would you recommend as the most beginner friendly, easy way to accomplish this? I keep seeing TrueNAS pop up, but I'm not convinced this isn't way overkill for what I want to do. So what would you recommend I look at to start out? The amount of information and things I don't know yet is a little overwhelming.

After I get more familiar with the system, I'm totally happy to branch out and try more advanced things that most people prefer, but that's down the road for me now.

Edit: to be clear, I'm planning on completely ditching windows and setting everything back up in proxmox

Help finding a replacement for these dimmer+fan wall switches? (lemm.ee)

I'm in the US. My wife and I are moving into a new-build community in Feb. next year and they are using these wall controls for the rooms with lights and a fan.

I'm having a little trouble finding a home assistant compatible replacement. The 1-gang width probably limits my options severely. I'm open to converting these to 2-gang, so I'm open to 2-gang devices as well.

Zigbee is is my preference, then WiFi (local only), and I'm not interested in z-wave.

Can we make the recent change on hidden posts a toggle or revert to beta 33? (lemm.ee)

The recent change today that makes hidden posts permanent after a page refresh instead of temporary has seriously bugged the way I browse Lemmy.

Now if I have too many posts hidden, my front page won't even load. I'd really prefer the choice to hide posts I've seen/scrolled past. Can we at least get a toggle to enable the old functionality?
