unless you’re using a password manager capable of tracking those for you.

Doesn’t every password manager have a “notes” field these days?

I haven’t tried it yet, but I see the SMLIGHT SLZB06 get recommended a lot for Zigbee

I don’t use Memories, but yes, uploading photos with FolderSync to Nextcloud (via WebDAV) does add them to the Nextcloud database. They show up as new photos in the recent activities list.

Yeah, English sucks. Worst part here is that both spellings can be used as either noun or verb, though the alternate forms are rare.

Most common forms:

1. Affect - verb - to alter or change. “The rise of LLMs has affected how people use the Internet”
2. Effect - noun - result of change: “The effect of LLMs has been to make people dumber”.

Rare forms:

3. Effect - verb - to implement or make happen: “The new legislation will effect a change in policy to …”
4. Affect - noun - emotional state or expression: “His affect changed and you could see him cringe when the boss endorsed AI”

The first two are what you want pretty much all of the time.

1, 2, and 3 are all pronounced the same, with emphasis on the second syllable: “uh FECT”. Number 4 is pronounced with emphasis on the first syllable: “AFF ect”

So that’s more than anyone wanted to know today :)

This is interesting to me:

Simpler stack: While still based on the LibreOffice core technology, Collabora Office has no Java dependency, which means a cleaner install, smaller footprint and a single, self-contained download.

Might be advantageous on lower-power machines perhaps?

buttons were discovered by the Conbee and worked perfectly fine, but the home assistant refuses to recognize their functionality.

That’s not the hardware stick; that’s the controller software stack. Sounds like you switched from deConz to ZHA to go with the hardware change. In which case, this is all fixed by using Zigbee2MQTT instead of HA’s built-in ZHA. Z2M supports more hardware and features than ZHA.

I know, right? Imagine the very idea that someone older than a millennial is using 3D software. Snort.

Next thing, somebody will be claiming that gen-Xers, or god forbid some boomers, did the 3D work in Toy Story, or Jurassic Park, or the first Tron movie. Ridiculous.

miss having a truck bed. Can’t say I miss the fuel bill though.

For less than one year’s truck fuel bill, you could buy a trailer and never have to worry about renting one again…

Ed Zitron is a good one to follow for that type of info

Dahua is still a top manufacturer, but does not focus on selling to individual consumers.

In the US, you will find Dahua cameras being sold most often by Amcrest and Lorex.

Nice job; very clean installation. Good work!

No, they can’t think and reason. However, they can replicate and integrate the thinking and reasoning of many people who have written about similar problems. And yes, they can do it must faster than we could read a hundred search result pages. And yes, their output looks slightly better than many of us in many cases, because they are often dispensing best practices by duplicating the writings of experts. (In the best cases, that is.)

I though they’re why the desert racists box spread so far to the north.

While that is true of heat pump technology in total, I have not seen any heat pump water heaters in the US that work below freezing. One example: my Rheem manual says it will work down to about 42F / 5C. Below that, it uses resistive heating elements.

But I’m sure it’s coming eventually to water heaters.

Often known as the “Gartner Hype Cycle”

GlusterFS is (was) really cool, but I would not set up a new instance. It used to have significant support and development from RedHat, but they decided to halt their work on it, and focus on Ceph.

GlusterFS is getting a few slow updates from some alternate developers, but I would only count on that being fixes for current installations.

For a certain very specific usage of the word “better”

Yes, many bad ideas are possible to implement. At least temporarily. Until the next cleanup process figures out how to remove cadvisor dir regardless of file contents. Or the next OS release turns /tmp into a ram disk. Or… or… or…

Yes, it’s a fun academic exercise to think through possible mitigations. And in the end, it will still be dumb to keep this in /tmp
