I used it as a base for docker containers, but depending on project Ive found that sometimes the lack of locale support is making it a non-viable option. I read there are ways to get it working, but I never did.
I dabbled with home assistant and openhab for a while at home, originally I had planned to monitor some thermometers(not the usual light switches which seemed to be common).
I ended up throwing openhab and hass away and is now running nodered together with mqtt.
The thermometers are built with arduinos and different temp sensors and posting data to mqtt over wifi.
Then nodered catches any writes to the mqtt topics and passes them on to store in tsdb over its rest api. This way, I don't need to mess with the rest api on the thermometers which is very nice.
Since then I added a lot of other things to nodered, I added the coming bus departures, and data from oue heating pump.
Not sure I would use nodered in a business, but if zapier was the option I would perhaps try it. It saves a lot of pipeline for deployment and such which code would need(or at least I would require).
Also, the node red dashboard makes the above even better, I have an android tablet mounted in a frame in the kitchen to show some of the data above.
yeah me too, 'stuck' :) I have been using it for several years but I am getting a bit annoyed by it. I just don't think I extract enough value from the paid product. Also, I feel locked-in too...
+1 here, surprised to not see that it's not the top response here. It's always been slick, reliable and easy to use in a collaborative corporate environment. I would wager that Visio is probably similarly nice but I've never played around with it.
I've long dremead of a architecture view that was zoomable, zooming in enough would end up on the actual code, but zooming out a lot would show you app server +database basically.
This would be incredible. No reason zooming out can't also show you stuff like load-balancers, message queues, firewalls, and their config/infrastructure code.
I too have had this dream. It's like a Realtime stragedy game, you have a minimap where you make big movements around the map, zooming in to perform some micromanagement on individual units. Zooming in further to directly edit there AI.
If they keep the trend there will also be at least 4 different folders called Photos in 4 different places by default, and none of them goes to the same photos.
Isnt that the same as samsung are doing with their devices? They come up with a phone/tv/dishwasher that have 550Ghz/100Mpix of whatever, but no clue for what it should be used. Its just "faster, and look, very large screen"
If samsung didnt produce stuff for others they might have been in the same situation, probably a bit better but close.
I guess the sony vaio line wont be missed if it goes away, I've never come by a vaio which as nice/good.
Couldnt agree more, thunderbird is ok, but its fairly slow and hasnt gotten much improvements usability-wise since netscape mail, its basically the same.
Speedwise its not up to par either I think, searching is quite bad, but this might be issues really with imap rather than anything else. My last efforts have been beefing up our mailserver and also adding full text indexing for searching which helped a bit but there is still a long way to go to get it really instant.
