A smart powerplug and/or a fingerbot would solve that problem I guess? But at that point it’s probably cheaper to buy a network connected picture frame.

You could use something like the Toshiba flash air?

Or the tld is .mobi

Systemd timer to poll upower when running on battery power, when battery is at 20%, use either system beep or set system volume and play a sound?

I love all the ideas you have! Explaining how computers work, on a basic technical level, is something everyone should know nowadays.

I would suggest to focus the programming on something small, fun and instantly rewarding. Something like Snake in Pygame is not overly complex and you can take it step by step, so that every student will have something to show at the end, with varying levels of complexity. I would advise against using templates for projects, a lot of courses do but in my opinion it makes it harder for the student to replicate the work on its own later on.

In terms of networking, setting up a small test network with a WEP access point, a WPS access point and a WPA2 access point and letting the students (in groups, probably) try to figure out how to access/crack the passwords for them. (WEP and WPS should be easy, but WPA2 would require the deauthing exploit, which is a tad more complex).

Also the idea of cheap usb drives, which they can put on a live distro (or make it come with one) is a great way to start the lesson. This way they can have a setup that’s detached from the usual limitations school pc’s give. (if that’s still a thing).

Do make sure to teach them the ethics around hacking, cracking and downloading. From what I remember, Germany used to be decently lax on all three, but started to crack down on it in the past 10 years. Teaching responsibility and what the consequences are is very important.

Extension on HTTP 418 I’m a Teapot

I’ve used it, it’s pretty rough and unfinished, the current main branch doesn’t build without help and you’ll need ollama or openai keys.

The results however are impressive, even with a small model like phi3 mini through ollama. They got some good prompts behind it and the results name the sources + have some good followup questions.

There truly are toml

That’s way too far-fetched!

Not a scientist, but my first assumption would be that everything on earth, but also earth itself will double in size, knock ourself around our nice orbit around the sun and kill everyone either flashly or coldly.

Ignoring that problem, or applying the effect to the entire universe, probably not much would happen.

tbh, a lot of big players (Microsoft, Facebook, Google) host a lot of AI stuff on huggingface and quite likely have to pay for that.

Also they had a few successful funding rounds, last one led by Salesforce.

Also Amazon is invested in them, probably offering a lot to them for free or discounted.

that uses mDNS, which in some cases requires your router to be online to be able to resolve it to a ip. If part of your internet disruption was your router going down, it would explain the issue

How is your coordinator linked to your home assistant?

For example if you use Zigbee2MQTT and you have either Zigbee2MQTT or Homeassistant pointing to the internal ip of mosquito (192.168.1.11 for example) and your router goes down (with dhcp), it’s possible it cannot communicate anymore.

This isn’t the case if it’s all running on the same box using localhost as address, running it in a docker network or when you run ZHA however.

something like this? https://github.com/exelix11/SysDVR

My mind directly went to Laserdisc before I realized you were talking about the generic category 😅.

cd/dvd/blueray doesn’t become bad that fast, properly stored they can easely live to 50+ years (except the writeable variant). they are physically etched which helps with longevity.

VHS or other types of magnetic storage is more of a chore, they often don’t survive the passing of time.

Up, since I fill the dishwasher 😅. I have been trying to convince her to get a top tray dishwasher, but for now I’ve not won the battle. Personally I prefer the convenience of not accedentially having a utensil outside the basket and messing with the rotor.

This was one of the earliest discussions I had when I moved in with my partner. She had the utensils spoon - fork - knife and I had knife-fork-spoon. (She won btw)

Also the reliable income makes them more credit worthy, allowing greater loans from banks and making it possible to grow more.

Tbh it only sucks for the customers

yes, those two “autofixes” are “fixed” now. (it’s a opt-in setting)

Python is soon to be integrated into excel, I might not be a python fan but if it’s gonna replace vba I’m all for it.
