eamonnsullivan··on WLED Project
Not sure why this is being promoted today (new release?), but I absolutely love this project. I use esp32 boards to power two strips in the house and another is currently powering my Christmas lights outside. The integration with Home Assistant is awesome. I just this week made the outside lights do a little dance (turn different colours and wave) when the doorbell rings.

I used this for my back up system: https://github.com/eamonnsullivan/backup-scripts

The server runs on a Raspberry Pi with a 1-2TB USB disk attached.

What I like about RadioParadise is that I don't have to pigeon-hole the music I listen to. Sometimes you do want a particular genre, and other times I'm happy to be led by an expert curator. RadioParadise is superb for the latter.

I'm not sure I understand the absolute hate for snap that I see everywhere. Can you enlighten me? I use snap for emacs (the edge/28 version), slack, and (occasionally) Firefox on my daily driver laptop. They all work fine. I've not noticed what's wrong with them.
