    as a reminder, Openweather is terminating their free 2.5 level api . latest reports say starting next week Oct 14

    please take action to migrate to the 3.0 api and new apikey. this requires s credit card to be registered in case you go over the daily uncharged call limit, currently 1,000
    otherwise your weather modules ( default and others) WILL FAIL

    @sdetweil said in Github usage and module continuations:

    yeh, I don’t think that will happen… we are a volunteer team, and have plenty of existing core issues to deal with… hundreds of additional modules just won’t be possible.

    After seeing @KristjanESPERANTO list of modules, seeing that there are over a 1000, I think it is definitely not worth it to push everything to one repository. Especially with duplicates and/or obselete modules.

    Although, seeing the list of “default” modules be extended with 3rd party “verified” modules with proper continues integration (tests / and build workflows so it gets automatically build with every software update) would be great.

    @KristjanESPERANTO said in Github usage and module continuations:

    I’ve started working on a new list of modules, and doing some rudimentary tests (you can see the result here). A few developers have already started work through the recommendations there. Even though the whole project is still in its infancy, but with that we have a process of assessing the quality of modules. Perhaps the whole thing will develop in the direction of module installer or app store. We will see. I would be delighted if you would take a look at the project and maybe join in.

    I haven’t seen this yet, this looks pretty good. Awesome to see that there’s a different visual list to find modules and see when its last updated.

    As I said in the starting post, it would be nice to have a general sense of direction on how to improve the entire module base and it gets easier and there’s more overview whats available. But also make it easier for people to develop their module and have it gain traction across the community.

    Hi All,

    New user here and wanted to introduce myself.

    I am creating a digital calendar with touch capabilities (hopefully😅).

    I am enjoying the process. It has brought on quite a few firsts.

    First time using a raspberry pi (PI4/4GB).
    First time using GitHub.
    First time spending so much time in Linux.

    It will probably be my intro into CSS and woodworking as well.

    Thanks for all the great work the many contributors.

    @daykray you will have to use css

    position:absolute

    and

    x y

    or

    top left

    see the second link in my signature below on how to use the developer window elements tab to find out what those values are for css/custom.css

    or position relative to some other anchor (maybe the position the module is configured in)

    @plainbroke my condolences… may his memory bring you joy.

    I haven’t installed unclutter in years, until last month on another system where the cursor finally bugged me… been like that for a year.

    I don’t know the reason for needing it, unless someone edits main.css and comments out

    cursor:none;

    so, theres that… safe travels…

    in the v2.30.0 release there is a significant update to the calendar module.
    I believe all the date jump/timezone, daylight savings, issues are resolved…

    I have added testcases to the release to cover all the open issues…

    give it a try
    (please backup your MM config… this release requires an updated nodejs version, again…)

    @sdetweil

    Hey!

    Thanks for answering, and no I have not a backup of client SDcard,
    BUT trust me, I will have that in the future… but I have backup of my shell scripts, so it feels pretty ok anyways.
