That was the intended path.

The head of Slovenia’s national broadcaster has also said the country, a regular participant in Eurovision, would likely withdraw if Israel participates. Similar comments have been made by the head of Iceland’s national broadcaster.

I have a Shelly plug that is programmed internally to turn itself on if off for 20 seconds. Home assistant turns the plug off for 10 seconds if curl ip.me fails for 15 minutes.

My modem is plugged into that.

I’ve never had a router or firewall crash if I wasn’t fucking with it and did something stupid ill-advised, so I don’t try that kind of stuff unless I’m home.

I use it to put transaction dollar limits on my subscriptions, satellite radio in particular, so they can’t jack up my rates automatically.

I don’t put much stock in privacy.com being truly private, but it does break the data chain of using the same card for everything. I wish my credit union offered virtual cards.

Me to handbrake for two decades: stop trying to make MKV happen! It’s not going to happen!

Guess I owe them an apology

Any other phone is going to have that bloat and more

Make sure you don’t have a full disk somewhere

Some search engines let you block sites from future results. If I’m on my desktop, I’ll knock out the obvious ones on the first page of a search. It’s not much, but it’s honest work.

Same with the bloat. Do I want Cortana, Bixby, AND Gemini lurking in the shadows?

The headline is a touch sensational- nine of them are bare headers on the motherboard for the front of the case. The I/O shield ‘only’ has 13 type A and three type C.

To piggyback on the permissions hissy fit-

My aar stack, openmediavault, and transmission stack have different usernames mapped to the same uid and it is a pain in the ass. I “fixed it” by making a NAS group that catches them all, but by “fixed it” I really mean “got it working”

So be aware of what uid will own a file and maybe change it to a uid in the 1100+ range to make NFS easier in the future.

Pretty much anything with a heat spreader should be impossible to accidentally kill. Bare die? May dog have mercy on your soul.

Never know when you’re going to need one on a new moon on the ides of march formatted to apple_HFS to update the firmware on your cousins 2004 pioneer in-dash dvd player

also it has to be 4 gig USB 1.1

DDR4 got so cheap, you could sprinkle it on a build like parmesan cheese. DDR5 is still relatively expensive. I see a lot of people landing on 48 gigs.

Moss Landing battery storage facility has repeatedly caught fire, which highlights another potentially major savings for grid operators, as the fallout of such events are instead borne by the operator of the battery, which for the DSGS would be the home owner.

Where do I sign up?

I saw that on a scaffold one time curiosity got the best of me. Walked right into it

You’ve watched Google,Facebook, and apple do it the last 20 years. If a good idea is spotted early enough, they buy the whole company before they can make it to market and grow to become a threat. It happens in any emerging tech and you’re watching it happen now in the LLM space. Companies burn cash, waiting for their competitors to make a mistake or run out of money. Then they buy out the struggling company, absorbing any tech they might have, maybe some branding, but more importantly- their customers. Now they can jack up prices once market forces are eliminated.
If not for the threat of anti-trust laws, you would see single company rule in every single sector. That is the end goal of a company- a monopoly that crushes potential competition and squeezes consumers.
Railroads, telephone, petroleum, internet, airlines, all ended up as regional monopolies.

If you’re in the omada ecosystem, a one-off unifi device is going to frustrate you. They’re trying to wrangle you into buying shit like this: https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/up-floodlight

Which part is slow? I run a software controller in a proxmox VM and it is plenty quick. My router is an opnsense vm and has 8 ryzen 7700x threads assigned to it, so no problems there 😁

I keep my Linux ISOs on mergerfs over NFS via open media vault. All of them are easily replaced so I don’t bother backing them up.

Nextcloud, paperless, and photos get their whole image backed up on proxmox local, and a remote PBS. I’m the only user so the sizes are quite manageable.
