For years I have had my zigbee network functional with a ConBee2 zigbee coordinator in my home assistant box.

But this week, devices started to randomly drop off the zigbee network. I could re-pair them and get them in again. But yesterday, it suddenly dropped 24 devices... Sensors, buttons and lightbulbs seem to be the most common ones.

I've restarted the ZHA integration, restarted the docker container, even downgraded to 2026.8.3. Still the same.

I checked the Home-Assistant github repo issues and there are lots of issues regarding zigbee and dropped devices in the last 2-3 weeks.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happened all of the sudden?

The zigbee network has been stable for years before this.

EDIT: At this time I have re-paired all the devices and will see if they start dropping off again.

This seems newsworthy.

The 2 lead project members have left the project for different reasons.

They state that the project will continue as it has always done, since it has a council (which I didn't know), so we shouldn't worry.

There was an argument regarding AI policies in the projects between some of the core contributors, which I think has influenced some of this decision.

There is currently a malicious attack going towards the AUR, in the form of a botnet impersonating git users/maintainers to take over packages and adding a malicious payload.

Arch team is aware and working hard to reset/delete the affected commits and packages.

Not properly released on kernel.org yet, but 7.0 has been tagged on the kernel git repository.

Just found this today.

Someone started making an activitypub enabled alternative to LinkedIn.

You can use your existing fediverse account, log in, set your job title, experience, education etc.

It's pretty new, so not a lot using it yet. Not even any jobs posted yet. ;)

Disclaimer: It does look like it's mostly written by an AI bot.

This seems to be a pretty great release.

If they are to be believed:

• Federated chat using Nextcloud Talk
• Performance optimizations for most things
• Circles enhanced to Teams with lots of new features
• Assistant 2.0 brings new AI features for productivity

I'm most hyped about the performance improvements. 😁

Four years since the launch of the Raspberry Pi 4, the Raspberry Pi 5 has arrived with a performance boost and house silicon that adds support for PCIe 2.0.

FOSDEM is a conference where thousands of open source developers meet and learn.

Location is as always in Bruxelles, Belgium, Europe, Earth.

Any of you going this year?

Hi all.

Happy KDE Plasma user for a long time and I generally love the desktop experience. But I do have one small issue.

At work, I have 2x 4K displays. connected through a Dock. But in Plasma it's only able to give me around 1080p resolution on both of them. In contrast, the display manager SDDM and TTY displays 4k on each fine.

So am I missing a trick to get the max resolution in Plasma? My install is Arch Linux, kernel 6.4.12, Plasma 5.27, Wayland session.

I did install the displaylink AUR package, as I thought it might be the dock limiting the video output, but it isn't as TTY and SDDM seems to display it correctly.

Happy to hear any thoughts and any ideas. :)

EDIT: The screens turn on and work fine with 4K resolutions in a Plasma X11 session.
