How are you all controlling your smart home? Has anyone else experience with self-coded controlling?
I have made very good experiences with ioBroker and a sync to Firestore. I am currently able to controll everything neatly with Google Home and Assistant, log my entire home's state periodically to BigQuery, from where I can analyse everthing later on an controll everything via an Progressive Web App. You can check it out here: https://smart-connect-demo.web.app/

I'm currently working on a polyfill for backdrop filters. It's going great so far, stuff like backdrop blur is just so awesome fur UIs! The polyfill will be compatible with WebComponents, :hover, :active..., transitions and scrolling/resizing. Would you have use cases for this?

I currently use Github as my git server and have worked a little bit with Travis. Sadly Travis can't deploy to local network targets and that's why I had the idea to create my own basic CI for the local network: It will be a simple nodejs-app and listens to pushes via Github Webhooks. Then it fetches the code from Github and runs a task runner like Gulp over it and tests it with any nodejs testing framework. Then it deploys the compiled, tested and linted app to the local network. What do you think of this idea?

I think Chromium is definitely one of the best and most useful Open Source Projects, because so many modern technologies are based on it:

- Chrome + Chromium Browser
- Electron (Which is in my opinion the future of software development, as long as Web Apps don't have that many possibilities)
- Android WebViews
- Chrome OS (and Chromium OS)
- Many other Browsers like Opera, Samsung Mobile Browser, Vivaldi…

I think without Chromium the Internet wouldn't be the same today. It helped to popularize WebApps and helped to set many modern web Standards. Also, in addition with V8 it paved the way for modern JavaScript, as it provided (and still provides) developers and so also users with massive performance boosts.

Yeah I mean I love Linux, but a kernel panic just when you want to relax and enjoy a nice programming evening? Really Linux? Come on…

Just created a tiny (not yet stable) selector library that allows you to change properties on multiple elements just like you would do on a single one. It also has some more useful features. https://github.com/kosimst/kazel
Still in development, but prototype should work. What do you think?

I love italics in combination with font ligatures! Looks so great! What do you think? Italics yay or nay?

Today finally setting up Pop!_OS on my Laptop. Best OS ever made! #linuxftw
