    • Spam Posts: Update on this Problem?

      I see there are several old spam posts in the forum, and there are a lot of old threads about trying to stop the onslaught of spam bots.

      The reason I ask is I’ve “Reported” old spam posts from a few months ago like this one:

      https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/10455/buy-counterfeit-100-high-undetectable-banknotes-https-globalcountertrades-com-whatsapp-12092481680

      and wondered if they are being seen or if the Admin(s) of the Forum want those reported? I know it’s hard to manage spam in forums, and wanted to know if there is anything that can be done to help.

      Appreciate any help/info.

      Any follow-up or information on this by admin(s)? Would like to be able to help with this forum spam problem. Reporting/flagging spam messages doesn’t seem to be helping.

    • RE: Pi loses WiFi connection after a few hours

      @sdetweil said in Pi loses WiFi connection after a few hours:

      @jca2112 are you running pihole as an advert filter? seem to see this a lot with pihole servers…

      Yes, I am running a pihole – thanks for suggesting that. (I should have mentioned it.) I’ve not had any issues with the magicmirror + pihole setup in the past, but just to make sure I whitelisted the magicmirror so it would bypass the pihole altogether. It didn’t seem to affect the problem, so I’m not sure that it is a factor.

      This Github post seems to describe the same (or similar) issue:

    • RE: Pi loses WiFi connection after a few hours

      I wanted to revive this topic, as I am having the same issue.

      After a day or two, the Raspberry Pi 3 B+ seems to lose it’s connection. I’m not able to connect to it via SSH, and the Weather module stops updating temp/forecast/etc. The news headline module and calendar module seem to continue to update, however.

      This problem goes away (temporarily) after a reboot.

      Looking at the error logs, I only see this:

      [ERROR] fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com
      

      I’ve made sure the Pi is updated, and I’m able to ping sites (like github) after the reboot.

      Any ideas? I haven’t had any problems until the past month or two.

      @sdetweil said in Calender updated to show 2021 holidays?:

      @jca2112 https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/holidays/

      That link points to a list of holidays for different countries, with a link leading back to the same US holidays page with the previously used link:

      @sdetweil said in Calender updated to show 2021 holidays?:

      @jca2112 it will be a different link

      Do you know what the new link will be and/or when it will be published? (The above link has been used for at least 2 years.)

      Thanks.

    • Calender updated to show 2021 holidays?

      When does the Calendar Labs (US) holidays link update to show 2021 holidays? Right now the calendar ends at Christmas 2020.

    • RE: Add fade from another point instead vertical

      Here is the CSS I use for a vertical gradient:

      .calendar table:after {
        content: '';
        position: absolute;
        top: 0;
        left: 0;
        right: 0;
        bottom: 0;
        background: linear-gradient(to bottom, rgba(0,0,0,0) 50%, rgba(0,0,0,0.48) 100%);
      }
      

      You could modify the above (using the deg angle) to create a horizontal gradient.

    • Add Fade Opacity config option in config.js

      When using the “Fade” option in the default modules (Calendar and Weather forecast, for example), on my set-up, the dimmed/faded gradient on the text is inconsistent. This is due to several factors, including different font sizes/weights, black-points/contrast/brightness on different monitors, different one-way mirror materials, etc.

      I was wondering if I could address this issue (in my case) if there was an Opacity variable added to the startFade function used in several default modules?

      Right now we can control via config.js where the fade starts in a div (fadePoint), but not a minimum amount of the opacity of the fade. (Right now it is based on an inline CSS div style of the opacity property set to the full 1.0 amount.)

      if (e >= startFade) {			//fading
      	currentFadeStep = e - startFade;
      	dateRow.style.opacity = 1 - (1 / fadeSteps * currentFadeStep);
      	}
      

      Is it worthwhile to add a fadeOpacity config that can be set to different base opacity amounts? Appreciate any help/feedback on this.
