I run many of the usual suspects, but I would say Home Assistant is on the top of the list.

  • Integrates with seemingly endless smart home devices
  • Make automations that make your house seem like magic
  • Make it look just how you want it to
  • and best of all, it costs numerous hours of tinkering nothing!

    Public funding for fossil fuel industry breaks another Liberal climate promise, advocates say in c/canada@lemmy.ca
    [–] 2 points 14 hours ago

    I'm well aware of how heat pumps work. What I meant by that was that some electrical grids, like Saskatchewan, for example, have a high GHG intensity. So, despite a heat pump's high efficiency, it can still result in higher overall GHG emissions than if the same amount of heat were delivered by burning natural gas in a condensing furnace.

    Now Saskatchewan has been making good progress on cleaning up their grid, so it might not quite be the case now, but energy and GHG modelling I did a couple years ago showed just the case above.

    Heat pumps aren't a very effective solution. Depending on generation source, the electricity a heat pump uses to heat could be dirtier than the fuel that would otherwise be burned.

    A better solution is to first reduce demand. For existing buildings, start with improving airtightness and reducing summer solar gain (add shading), then insulate where practical (following good building science), and only after that, modify mechanical systems to suit the new, reduced demand. New buildings take the same approach.

    It's not so different from professional exams in Canada/Untied States. Applicants with some wealth to put into a tutor are often more successful, while also requiring a not insignificant fee to write the exam, effectively gatekeeping professional colleges from the less well-off.

    E: to clear up some confusion...there is a fee paid by the person taking/writing/being assessed by the exam. Apparently the meaning 'to write' an exam is not consistent, but I intended the Canadian/British English meaning.

    I received the email this morning from Proton announcing improvements to Drive speed, and they just happened to tuck this in there:

    ... It also allowed us to focus on deeper integration with the rest of the Proton ecosystem (such as Drive in Lumo) and support for a Linux client, which we're now actively building.

    Glad I won't have to continue using my cobbled together Syncthing solution much longer.

    Here's the full email for anyone interested, seems the announcement isn't on their website yet.

    Tap for spoilerDear Proton community member,

    A faster, more powerful Proton Drive is here, giving you smoother access, stronger protection, and more control over your files.

    Proton Drive is up to 3x faster

    We rebuilt Proton Drive around a single, shared engine that now powers uploading, downloading, and encryption across all our apps. Uploads are up to 3x faster and downloads up to 2x faster, plus smoother scrolling and quicker loading in Photos. It also allowed us to focus on deeper integration with the rest of the Proton ecosystem (such as Drive in Lumo) and support for a Linux client, which we're now actively building.

    Faster, stronger encryption

    Your files stay end-to-end encrypted — that hasn't changed, and never will. But that happens more efficiently now. We've adopted a cryptographic advance in the OpenPGP standard, cutting encryption time for new file uploads by up to 4x.

    More control over who can manage your shared files

    When you share a file or folder, you can already choose Viewer or Editor access. Now you can also decide whether an Editor can manage sharing on your behalf — inviting others, changing permissions, or removing access. To keep that control for yourself only, open the share's Settings and toggle off access.

    More power and flexibility across Proton Drive

    Alongside the updates above, we’ve continued improving Proton Drive across platforms, making it easier to automate workflows, browse shared files, manage syncing, and work more efficiently.

    • The Proton Drive CLI is now available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, so you can script uploads, downloads, and sharing from your terminal. 
    • Grid view is now available on public Proton Drive links, making shared photo folders much easier to browse.
    • On the Windows desktop app, you can now pause syncing for a few hours or until the next day, and Proton Drive automatically resumes so you don't forget to turn it back on.
    • A new encrypted cache stores your 500 most recently viewed thumbnails, so albums you've already browsed load instantly the next time.
    • Proton Sheets now supports custom currency, number, and date/time formats, alongside bug fixes and reliability improvements.

    Protecting your privacy is our priority. Follow us on X for the latest feature releases, privacy news, and security tips. Join the discussion on Reddit for insights directly from our team, and share your ideas on UserVoice to help shape Proton’s future.

    Thank you for your continued support. Stay secure,
