Why does every one of these cartoonishly evil companies have a cartoonishly evil name.

OK, assuming your switch is also smart

Option 1: long-press/double function turns on both light and fan, that triggers an “I am going to shower” 5 minute delay where a humidity sensor senses when it is over and keeps the fan on until humidity is stabilized with the rest of the house.

Option 2: get a smart flow meter instead of a smart valve. Then you have useful statistics for shower water usage in addition to an instantaneous status. This has the side effect of the mood lighting turning on “late”

Option 3: get one or make an esphome + LD2410S on battery or plugged in close by, nobody goes in the shower for more than like 10 seconds without showering

Option 4: Time of Flight sensor outside of the shower pointing in to tell when the door/curtain is closed. If the ToF sensor is (for example) between 1.1m and 1.2m, the door/curtain is closed

Spinning up and down hard drives repeatedly drastically reduces their lifespan though. Once a day or so, fine, but if you set a 30 minute idle time or something and it spins them down a dozen times per day, you are putting acceleration forces on the drive many more times than intended.

If you have to buy a new HDD twice as often because you spin it down, any financial or environmental savings is instantly negated and in the end it is much, much worse in both respects.

My girlfriend has an A52 and her dad had an A23 (or whatever 3rd gen low-tier but not the cheapest).

Both of them regularly, from day 1 have lost cellular signal or 4G/5G signal, and my girlfriend even had to get a new sum card because the A52 simply refused to use it and she was “stuck” in the middle of nowhere with no GPS and no map and no cellular to call someone because of her Samsung phone.

They both barely worked as a phone for a long time. My xperia 5ii had a problem of losing 4G every once in a while until I turned airplane mode on and off again.

My point is that most phones, regardless of manufacturer, have shit signal or intermittent cellular problems, that vary from device to device. n=1 anecdotes are a pretty bad metric of saying whether a phone is good or not. Manufacturers should be required to publish standardized volume testing.

Not to mention that all new Samsung’s come with forced Israeli spyware that you can’t uninstall.

That has actually been picking up steam on social media if I remember.

The idea is that you have a bar of soap + a harder bristled brush (IKEA sells cheap ones but there are probably BIFL ones) and then you just froth up some soap on the brush with one hand and then use it to scrub the dishes.

I think those people used special soap formulations though that weren’t just a dove bar

Which is funny because wool producers very often barely get paid enough to cover the cost of transporting their wool to sell it to suppliers. Their profit margins must be insane.

If you are hosting other things with it, then a reverse proxy like Caddy or Traefik + crowdsec is pretty much as good as you are going to get and you can add region blocking on your router (if that feature is available) or if you use cloudflare as a proxy.

If you want to go really crazy, you can put authelia/Authentik in front of it, depending on what else you host.

CrowdSec could probably catch a moderate amount of them, but that is really geared towards bad actors and malicious probing bots.

Fial2ban also wouldn’t work at all here since they aren’t trying brute force attacks, they are just using high bandwidth stealing as much public data from everything possible.

I think cloudflare is also making an alternative (or has already), but it is a tough problem.

Corpos suck ass and have no respect for their workers, but revenue is pretty useless for guaging a company’s financial health. Companies tanking and going out of business often have hundreds of millions until billions of revenue, while still being a hundreds of millions in negative. Kind of a different story than presented unless we know their revenue minus operating costs and if they have done investor money scams like stock buybacks.

Yeah my favorite electronics hobby supplies website has started to take 2-10 seconds to load. Still great service and the best selection of modules in my region though. They should really throw Anubis in front of it.

Wouldn’t the only really possible “cleanse” be something like water fasting or similar since you wouldn’t be taking in more of the so-called “toxins” (well I guess it does technically exist like alcohol but that gets metabolized)?

So many good features!

Showing the attachment plane of a sketch is such a great feature for complex parts!

Also I can finally get rid of my 3 point lighting macros.

I can’t wait for it to hit the main flatpak repo.

Can it be scaled up or down in size easily? Like can Palantir make very small versions to crawl into our ears and explode or some other comically bond-villian type or thing they love to do? 😂

I am hoping that hydrogen can fill that gap. There is a lot wrong with it, but it can burn like gas and Europe has been building a bunch of infrastructure for it. I don’t think it is suitable for consumers like they tried to push with hydrogen car ideas, but it seems like it would have its place with large electrolysis solar stations on industrial rooftops and compressors inside.

Also Falba.tech is stilll chugging along with beautiful bamboo and beech cases.

That is my daily driver (ergodash) with some subtle keycaps. Great so far except that it is still microUSB because at the time I didn’t want to shell out 30€ extra for the pro micro USBC version

I got suspenders (because the store was literally out of belts) for my work pants that use the worst claw clamp mechanism I have ever seen.

There is like a 5mm gap between the teeth so I have to fold my work pants belt line double and still if it experiences more than 0.1N of force, it will just fly off. I finally got a cheap 2nd hand belt.

I always do LVM now. Virtual partitions are the way to go, personally.

The amount of times that the root partitions have been 20-25GB but have still gotten completely full such that updates break… Well I could count it on one hand but still difficult enough that I would rather just use virtual partitions, especially on a server.

I did this a few years ago.

Maybe the best option is to create an entirely new prefix in Heroic and install battle.net via their “run installer first” button. Via Winetricks GUI you can install the 2 fonts or whatever that the lutris script installs.

Then, copy the game files of StarCraft 2 or WoW or whatever to the new prefix program files.

Then, in battle.net, it will either auto-detect the game, or you can go through the “search for games” flow in settings.

That should work, it is always better to have a fresh prefix as it takes almost no space. Once everything is copied you can simply delete the old one.

Isn’t this the guy who has posted a bunch of purely vibe-“coded” spam and then deletes it if the backlash becomes too big? Like the “temple-runner game” posted last week?

Vscodium for notes, interesting.

I looked into joplin before obsidian actually, but it is much more of a standard note taker, not good for zettelkasten sort of notes (link and tag focused)
