Don’t worry, the oligarchs also want to release any content they own as smart contract so ownership is eternal and a driver of blockchains. Then they want to make breaking DRM or smart contracts more heavily punished. “Protection for me, not for thee”

I use Proxmox because its handy to be able to use both LXC containers and full VMs. I installed it as an ISO so its built on top of Debian. There are helper scripts specific to installing Home Assistant on a VM (as well as a number of other things). And the proxmox UI comes in handy.

I have Home Assistant in a VM so I can run it on top of HAOS. Then the rest of the box is set up as an unprivileged LXC where I installed docker. I run all my *ARR apps straight on my Synology (via docker) so they have fast access to my Library volume, and everything else running on the setup I just described. Then I use Portainer to maintain my containers so I can manage both the syno and proxmox docker installs from one page.

Not true at all. If you want to run Home Assistant on top of Home Assistant OS then it needs to be on bare metal or a full VM because its an OS. Running on HAOS is easy mode, but not required.

A few hosts offer alternative frontends, that’s how I found Alexandrite in the first place. A few will alternatively offer Proton. And I’ve seen a couple that have an old. subdomain where they run mlmym

If you don’t need to be super accurate:

• C to F: double then add 30
• F to C: subtract 30 then halve it

I like the room cold for sleeping. 60F (15C) is ideal, but we can’t get that cool in the summer.

A locally hosted instance of Alexandrite. I’m almost always viewing on a laptop.

It’s an LG dryer.

I’d have to go look up the window unit. Its almost certainly a white labeled OEM who’s advertised brand no longer exists, though.

Neither mentioned a network connection was required. The AC unit didn’t mention it at all, and consumer reports mentioned the dryer had “smart features” and an app but never said basic controls were locked behind a network connection

How close are you to a starlink constellations orbital path, now that they can be connected to via cellular modems?

Pictures are far from the only thing to worry about.

I can’t set my dryer to medium heat unless I do so with an app over the internet even though the controls exist to do it on the unit. I bought a window AC unit and the only remote control is an app - thankfully I was able to put that on a subnet with no internet gateway and it still works.

Coming soon (if not already): TVs with utility cellular connections or corpo network (like Amazon sidewalk) access that your neighbor may have not opted out of.

Sure, Linus and Richard get praised for making GNU Linux. But when I tried to make by own, the zoo kicked me out of the water buffalo enclosure.

The Prusa One and Bamboo X1 are very equivalent printers: both are high print quality, low intervention crazy fast, and more beginner friendly than anything that has come before. The Bamboo will (currently) do better with multicolor (with an addon unit) and Prusa is more trusted (there’s a threat that Bamboo will go closed-ecosystem).

I’d recommend watching some of the reviews from bigger names in the 3D printing world. I don’t remember who specifically has done reviews and comparisons of the two, but safe bets are Thomas Sanladerer / Made With Layers, CNC Kitchen, and 3D Printing Nerd.

Giving an ultimatum to choose between the US and China at a time when the dollar’s value is dropping and BRICS nations are pushing to unseat it as the world reserve currency. That seems like smart, long term thinking right there.

The way things are going, if anyone in the US wins that auction they may also “win” an all expenses paid, long-term visit to El Salvador.

Most of my stupid spelling mistakes, missing words, and other typing errors are because I developed the terrible habit of proofreading only in the instant between hitting the post button and the subsequent UI refresh. The better my lemmy host is running, the lower the readability of what I’ve posted.

I’ve also noticed that muscle memory does some strange stuff to my typing. Like in the first sentence of this comment I typed “instance” rather than “instant.” I meant instant but, since I work with AWS 5 days a week, my fingers autopiloted instance because I type it much more often.

The list of investors in new Digg was enough for me to know I’d never use it.

The first language I was fluent in was Perl so PCRE is second nature to me. But then everyone decided they wanted their own regex dialects. And now there’s a PCRE2? Why 2? Stay with 1, you’re good together. What about the kids?

There’s an OS that doesn’t require command line use to do anything slightly advanced? That hasn’t been my experience.
