  • Hi! I recently started with home automation myself. Despite already having a home server, I decided to get a dedicated Raspberry Pi 5 4GB to run home assistant by itself. OpenHAB should work just as well on the RPi5.

    I’ve got Zigbee and Matter over Thread connectivity using 2x Aeotec Zi-Stick dongles, one flashed with OpenThread firmware, instructions on their forum. It was not the best solution to use the same dongle for both protocols as it’s recognized with the same device name in Home Assistant and I had to use my Linux skills to work around that. You can easily get 2 zigbee dongles from different brands, check ahead which ones provide an easy OpenThread flashing solution. I think the Sonoff dongle is another one of these.

    When I was explaining my German friend that there is no alcohol allowed (technically) on the campus in France, he replied: “What?! I was drinking beer all the time during my studies, why do you even study if you can drink in the morning?!”

    Don’t you worry, during my masters in France I was borderline alcoholic. We find ways.









  • You should see France right now.

    1. 30ish people invade a movie screening stabbing 2 person and screaming “Paris is Nazi, so is Lyon”. Press and politics: “this is just an isolated incident”
    2. A group of Nazi and anti-fascist clash suronding the conference of a left politician (Rima Hassan), one of the Nazi dies during the fistfight. Press and politicians: “this young man was unjustly murdered by the organized extrem-left !”
