This exactly. I’m an engineer but day-to-day I’m mainly using the Office shite (I tried for suite but ended up with former and happy to run with it) to do my job. The amount of extraneous effort I have to make to do tasks that would have been simple in 2005 is completely ridiculous. Yet on my home computer running Arch BTW, I can do everything instantaneously, the only downside is that some supplier I don’t really care for wants my presentation in pptx. If it wasn’t for work data security requirements, I’d just use my personal equipment for everything because I’d be able to work so much faster.

Edit: not to mention a lot of FOSS software is better than the professional bullshit (AutoCAD needs to die), it’s just a lot more effort to get up to speed with because colleagues around you don’t know it (yet)

Corporations need consumers (constant growth model). Military needs more living soldiers.

I’m running six Shelly Plug S and all working well with Home Assistant, but I could definitely play a bit more with the data it’s drawing from them. Only issue to date was that I bought a new clothes iron and it would trip the plug as it was over the 2.5 kW the plug is rated for, might just be something to keep in mind. The in-wall relays may go higher, I’m not sure.

I’m not against it but I upvoted you because I think you have a fair position and expressed it honestly and in a completely reasonable way.

Esky? In NZ it’s a chilly bin.

Glad you got it sorted, and thanks for sharing the solution. I might see if I can remove privileged from mine in that case.

I’m on x86, but the below relevant lines have mine working:

–privileged

–group-add keep-groups

–device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0

I also had to add my user that runs the container to group “dialout” as that owns the ttyUSB0 device. Keep in mind to log out and back in with this user after adding the group to apply the change.

Hope that helps!
