But to automate the front door unlocking, it needs to be detectable from HA. Which I believe is possible, but requires a macOS machine to extract the necessary rolling code key information.

It’s a double edged sword, fastest patches and fastest exploits.

I watched a YouTube video where this guy buys thinkpads that are “broken” and often they just need ram installed or something simple, and for a minor risk of buying a dud, he gets laptops for super cheap.

That seems like a lot of new features for x.x.1 update

Ideally, in SemVer, I believe xx1 updates would just be bug fixes that are unlikely to have any regressive impacts. It should be the absolute safest to update to automatically.

But what if I saved money not talking to a lawyer and never had the client sign an indemnity?

Well, I hate this comment and I’ve downvoted it.

Well at least someone managed to get a lawyer to fight my insurance company who’s leveraged AI to auto process claims and it’s issuing unfounded mass claim denials.

For project ideas, I think most of us start with a problem and learn how to solve it. But without some foundational knowledge, you may struggle to even realize what’s a solvable problem.

You should maybe start with something like Linus Tech Tips “techquickie” content. Look at tutorials for home servers and home labs.

Or just spin around with your eyes closed, and point at a random tech object in your home, then start searching for info on how that works. How you can customize it, fix it, break it, make your own.

Not sure how else to help you jumpstart what many of us have just been naturally doing our whole lives. Like… be curious. That’s the key actually. Curiosity.

Did she enjoy the comment as much as you did?

I learned that the CUPS config on Mac, at least as of about a year ago, was set to save a copy of everything ever printed to an obscure directory on the machine. Was discussed in relation to setting up a secure encryption scheme where you print out your keys, wouldn’t want something like that just hanging out for any malware to come gobble up.

Roku really should not sell most of their cheapest options, they’re very bad, while the top of the line Rokus are very solid.

Someone convince them to move to lemmy

I was using HDDs, and I believe it may have been a little less of an issue bc I had Unraid configured to keep the drives spun up (I’ve read the spin up is hard on the drive, not so much the time being spun up)

But I did occasionally have some IOWait issues. Reds plus a NVME cache has resolved all those issues.

WD Green /shrug

I’ve been using all Red Pros since I first built my nas, but it started with a couple of green 2TB that where in there for like 7 years before being replaced (didn’t die yet)

In Firefox, open a couple of tabs, snap the window to the left, now drag a tab to the right and try to snap it to the right edge.

Now do that same thing w a chromium browser

What’s i3?

Hmm, odd. It seems like a hassio “media_player” should be able to be a HomeKit “Media Player” per the HomeKit documentation.

Core on v2023.11.0

How do you deal with only 1 Ethernet port?

Vlan to managed switch? USB Ethernet adapter?

Also, is this powerful enough for a symmetrical 1gig connection?

Ugh, I want to build an opnsense router but I can’t go spending unnecessarily until I find a job.

Anyone hiring an IT admin and/or software engineer in the Portland area?
