It’s going to be powerful by every imperial, too.

Oh boy, 2017 can’t come soon enough!

This file compresses so well. 🤏

Terrible opsec sharing your WiFi SSID, by the way. I can’t find one right now, but I’ve seen global “wardriving” maps of all broadcast WiFi SSIDs that allow to pinpoint a somewhat unique SSID or at least narrow down to a few options. A list of SSIDs around you pretty much gives away your precise location.

Had similar behaviour last night. Turned out UnboundDNS had crashed in my opnsense firewall and took “internet connectivity” with it. Restarting the service fixed it in one click after I found it.

What is this doing in Technology?!

It’s not my Github, but I think you’d do something like print and store in a safe place your trusted party has access to. My SO has my Keepass password stored in their password safe and theoretically knows (and hopefully will recall when the need arises) how to find my Keepass file, for example.

In short, it’s trust. And then there’s the fact that they would never voluntarily touch this stuff anyway. 😅

Not about design patterns, but about making preparations: https://github.com/potatoqualitee/eol-dr

Grindr faces massive fine for “allegedly” “sharing” “sensitive” “user” “data”.

Haven’t seen your laptop, but if it’s anything like mine it’s a very lousy boat.

It’s that, plus “notifications can disrupt your sleep.”

“A much greater issue [than the blue light] is likely to be the content viewed,” says Peirson. “Reading work emails relating to impending deadlines is clearly going to cause anxiety, and anxiety is strongly related to insomnia.”

That actually makes a lot of sense. I never even second guessed how tedious all the parsing is. But then, as others have said here, as soon as the task at hand reaches a level of complexity beyond grepping, piping and so on I just very naturally move to Python.

On a different note, there are ways to teach bash json. I recall seeing a hacker conference talk on it some time ago, but didn’t pay close attention.

Mh, it probably depends a lot where you’re coming from. I don’t need Powershell or have a reason to learn it in my daily work, and I mostly use WSL to access Linux shells everywhere else. And on top of that, I don’t understand why Powershell needs a completely different command set to basically every other shell. It’s a biased take, but I have not had an interaction with Powershell that I liked, nor have I seen a feature that made me want to look into it more.

What’s the killer feature, would you say? Care giving me the fanboy-pitch?

edit. Oh and I forgot, the tab completion in Powershell is so incredibly dumb. I never ever in my life want to cycle through all items in a path, and much less have it be case insensitive. Come to think of it, this might be the origin of most of my disdain. ;)

WSL has changed the game pretty significantly, don’t you agree? It’s not perfect, but allows me to stay firm in my resolve never to learn powershell.

Storage box is self-serviced storage on a single server, as far as I’m aware. If you need replication, you need to rent storage at a second location and do it yourself.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with a Hifiberry DAC running OSMC (nicely packaged Kodi on top of Debian) acting as my media center and recently installed Jellycon with the hopes of being able to use server side transcoding for a few formats my old TV doesn’t support.

My verdict: Menu navigation is slow, but it’s a native kodi integration (supports widgets) and playback works great once you made your way through the menus. You can selectively set transcoding options per file type which is exactly what I needed.

Best solution I’ve seen so far, as it also does IR remote passthrough over HDMI if your TV supports it. The addon works in any kodi setup of course. I think there might be a way to start playback from the Jellyfin web UI but haven’t bothered with it. This would fully remedy the menu slowness, I think.

Read your reply now, and not sure about the requirements you have: must not leave the local devices or must not use the WiFi?

If it’s the latter, a 4g USB modem with a cheap iot data plan easily frees you of that.

I second Zigbee.

• There’s plenty of devices available.
• Battery life is amazing.
• zigbee2mqtt is an easy way to bring those messages into your regular IP network; they have a huge list of supported devices.
• Once translated to MQTT, you can hook any automation onto it you want: a python script, home assistant, or my recommendation in this case, NodeRED. NodeRED has a module for zigbee2mqtt that is very well integrated to just know all devices registered on your zigbee network and stringing flows together is actually fun once you get the hang of it. Plus, there is no upper bound to flow complexity.
• Gateway device can be a sonoff zigbee USB coordinator and the whole thing can comfortably run on a rpi3.

Have your parents and siblings changed their everything as well? That’s how I would try to find someone I went to school with.

The answer seems to always be “not segmented enough”. ;)
