I think it is, at least partially, it seems to work well though.

In the interests of Linux commands generally being short abbreviations, I suggest “pls”.

Yeah, you need a sudo in front of it otherwise it won’t work.

Tado does temperature modulation through OpenTherm or manufacturer specific EMS. In the UK the older V3 models didn’t support it though (for reasons I didn’t fully comprehend, ended up getting an Extension Kit off eBay which does support it), I think Tado X is less of a minefield in that department.

I’ve been using a “high endurance” card. These are the only ones SanDisk will do their guarantee for if you use them in a Pi.

This is what you get through HomeKit, there’s a lot more from the cloud but if you just want to control or monitor the temperature it’s sufficient:

The Tado works fine with Home Assistant. You can use the cloud interface or you can use HomeKit if you want to control it locally.

In my experience the Tado works really well, as it controls the boiler flow temperature rather than being just on/off when it reaches temperature. Just make sure you connect it for EMS - the instructions if you tell it you’re replacing an old thermostat sometimes say to connect it up with the relay input instead.

(Edit: AFAIK it doesn’t use ZigBee so the ZBDongle is irrelevant)

There’s no “slave” convention in git so I’m not sure how it can be considered an issue (I get that drives being master and slave is a bit icky). But then, what is it a master of?

As others have said, “trunk” would have been a more sensible replacement.

I’ve just given this a quick try in Windows (sorry, didn’t want to infect Linux with MS stuff) and… it’s pretty good.

I might install it in Linux although I’ll probably still use nano.

The Zero 2W is cheaper and pretty much the same spec as the Pi 3.

You should be able to use the Compose key on Linux for easy typing of accented characters. eg. Compose ’ e = é

I found this handy snippet to enable these keys in GTK 2 and 3 (not sure of the equivalent for GTK 4 but I guess that’s the one which has been updated anyway): https://forum.colemak.com/topic/1438-dreymars-big-bag-of-keyboard-tricks-linuxxkb-files-included/#p10012

Unfortunately I’ve found this whilst I’m not at the right computer so I haven’t been able to test them.

Edit: I tested this and it doesn’t appear to have helped.

MacOS should use CUPS - I believe Apple developed it or at least did some major work on it.

Yep, SANE is great.

As a non-free alternative, VueScan is pretty good too.

Muon.

Does SSH, SFTP and other stuff.

I am old.

This is great! The science teacher who used to also look after all the computers at my school was a big fan of the Acorn Archimedes/RISC PC (quite standard school computers in my day due to the BBC computer literacy stuff, where Acorn won the contract for the BBC Micro). We had a couple of PCs (RM Nimbus) which didn’t get as much use. I believe the plan was to switch over to PCs running Windows (95 had been out a couple of years) and because of that he left. I wonder if there was a viable alternative at that point, such as Linux, that he would have stayed.

There’s also Free95

Yellow Dog in early 2000s, and I think I switched to Debian PPC not long after. My memory of back then is quite hazy. A way while after that I had an Eee PC which I think I put Ubuntu on initially (the desktop was dog slow) and then changed over to LMDE. Have a feeling I had something else on it before Ubuntu… may have been the default Eee distribution, which I forget the name of (think it began with an X).

I think you’ll find that’s the recommended spec, not the minimum requirements.
