One day I noticed a repository hadn’t received a new snapshot in weeks. The backup job had been silently failing, and I had no idea. That’s the worst kind of failure: everything appears fine until you actually need the backup.

I have recently migrated my by now 79 repositories from GitHub to Codeberg , a decision driven by several significant factors.… ## [Freeing a Xiaomi Humidifier from the Cloud](https://0l.de/blog/2025/11/xiaomi-humidifier/) _2025-11-28 · stv0g's weblog | Blog_ I recently moved into a new apartment which I used as an opportunity to make our home a little smarter. As a big open source supporter I built my smart home platform with Home Assistant of course. Unfortunately, there are still far too few products that are directly compatible with Home Assistant.
