I tried accessing an SMB share that required a password, which worked, but required me to create some KDE wallet and use that wallet every time I want to access that network share.

I tried disabling the KDE wallet, and now I can't access the SMB share. "Error while connecting to server".

There's nothing wrong with the share, it's still accessible from other devices, it's something odd with Bazzite.

I thought using Bazzite would be better than windows, but from network shares to shared partitions not being visible in steam, to very basic onscreen keyboard not really working...I kinda think the issues with windows were more manageable. Bazzite defaults are just insane.

I just installed Bazzite yesterday sometimes I still need desktop mode to do some thing. I see there's lots of posts from lots of people saying how the onscreen keyboard sucks, and holy cow does it suck. But the solutions are all over the place. Some people run some script from a rando on github. Some people say to enable the KDE keyboard that doesn't exist. What are Ally users doing?

I think I want emudeck? But what else should I look for?

I'm in the process of setting up dualboot Bazzite and windows on Rog Ally. Mostly intending for the Ally to boot up in Bazzite and be game ready with some bluetooth controllers, and playing mostly switch emulation and old PS1/nintendo emulation. I have one stream game - CS - that I play.

So I think emudeck and Steam would be what I'd install?

• Windows Partition: NTFS
• Bazzite Partition: BTRFS
• Shared Partition: NTFS?

If I only plan on using Bazzite for emulation games, can I put the ROMS on a shared NTFS partition?

I read that Bazzite doesn't support game files on a shared NTFS partition. But does that only apply for games that require installation? Do ROMs get around the NTFS issue?

I'd like to be able to use the shared partition for windows install files.

I'm using this tutorial to dual boot bazzite and windows. I have a lot of ROMS and want both windows and Bazzite to access them. I thought this tutorial was for me since it mentioned "shared internal game drive". I want both Windows and Bazzite to be able to access the ROMs.

But then the OP made a comment about needing to make Bazzite partition larger. Can't you just install Bazzite games onto the shared partition? I was thinking my SteamOS games - instead of using up the windows partition - could also occupy the share partition that way I don't have to think too hard about how big the windows partition has to be?

I was leaning towards NTFS for the shared partition since other comments mention NTFS is fine.

I'm interested in a MultiPlus for some portable use cases around the house. But the wiring ends seem to be made for stationary installations - like in an RV. I'd like to make it so the MultiPlus can be used as a portable inverter - allow me to use ring-terminal cables to hook up to 12V batteries, and plug in 120VAC receptcables for things like TV's and small fridge. I might use the UPS functions at some point too. So both the charging plug, battery connection, and 120VAC output needs to be unpluggable.

It's been hard to find someone doing that with a MultiPlus. I basically want to make use of the MultiPlus in a more flexible way than permanent installations, like an office UPS + battery charger + portable inverter combined.

I just installed Jellyfin and didn't really know what collections are so I enabled it. After realizing it's some confusing random collection movies and just doesn't work well, I tried to figure out how to delete it. But I can't seem to delete it? I manage to delete it from one user, but the collections library seems to exist for all users so I have to go into each individual user and delete it from that user's profile?

But not all users have admin/dashboard editing capabilities, so I'm at a lost. Even users that do can't seem to always delete the collection? I click delete on the collection library and it just sits there.

Edit: doh! Looks like my Google nest home hub max is being the TBR!

I'm not sure how this happened. I was able to add a Ikea MYGGBETT sensor to my homeassistant using the QR code for Matter. But as far as I can tell, MYGGBETT uses thread, not wifi.

I don't think I have a thread border router (TBR) on my network. I've always been happy with zigbee and zwave and didn't really look for a thread device until I accidentally brought the MYGGBETT thinking it was zigbee.

Well, the MYGGBETT sensor is working. And I'm still at a lost as to what TBR it's connecting to.

Does HA expose any info about what TBR is on my system? Although I have a Google Home Hub and a Amazon Alexa, they are not part of my HA system, so I don't think they're acting as TBR.

I brought my first Aliexpress Ecoworthy battery, a 100AH one. My other Ecoworthy battery is a 150AH unit from their ebay store and the BMS's bluetooth reporting of the state of charge is reasonable. For example 4 cells at 3.33V gives a total battery voltage of 13.32V and State of Charge of 96%.

The Aliexpress Ecoworthy battery's bluetooth BMS is reporting 13.21V battery voltage and 33% SoC. That just doesn't sound right.

I've been charging it, and after 5 hours at ~5amps charge rate, it now reads 13.31V and 41%. The individual cells are at 3.33V, which should be pretty close to 100% SoC right?

Did I get a unit with a bad BMS, or is this expected for new batteries? Aliexpress return process isn't fun, so I'd like to avoid it if I'm just not knowledgeable about how BMS works.

Wondering if anyone has tried the TP-Link Kasa homekit enabled outlets. I'm looking specifically at the outdoor wifi outlet with two plugs. Does the homekit feature mean you can onboard the devices to your wifi without installing the TP-Link app at all? Does it expose both outlets? Can you runs this fully isolated from internet?

I'd just rather not send any data to accuweather at all. But it seems the latest firefox update has a accuweather widget and maybe some kind of financial incentive that accuweather is providing to send user info to them? Why is firefox doing this? I don't want to just hide the widget, I want to make sure I'm not sending data to them.

What is up with the notifications for VPN on Opera? I have the "In-app notification" / VPN Pro turned off. It's kind of tacky.
