Thanks for sharing the community!

Yeah, shout out to Krohnkite - really solid stuff. The shortcuts for all it’s actions have become second nature now, amazing how I use the mouse so much less to get windows where and how I want them in a second

Ok… I hate to admit, but I don’t get it!

IIRC Bitwarden has a feature for this, where you can designate someone to get access if you pass away. I believe that if they request access, and you don’t deny the request within X (configurable) days, access is granted to this designated person.

I wish I could do that to everything in my life.

man child man taxes man life

Not petty, totally fair. In my case, the microwave is the most visible clock from the couch, so I am always annoyed when it’s 00:02 instead of the time. But then again, the power goes out frequently where I live, so it’s not so reliable as a clock in the first place

Is that really out of context? Maybe it’s also because I am a parent, but that was my immediate reaction to the post. Death to all things that beep loudly!!!

What’s the container’s name? I was about to get backblaze and then was frustrated at the cost difference between the desktop personal plan and the one for deploying on my server

Is there some good automated way of doing that? What would it look like, something that compares hashes?

Thanks, I didn’t get it until I saw the banana image in the article lol

No one expects it… But what a show! Damn, the song will be stuck in my head for days now

This podcast episode discusses this very question at length, along with a history of Pantone’s pallette

Ha I like it. Yeah I skipped the underscore/hyphen for that reason.

Desktop: HAL9000

laptop: HALjr

Phone: HALnano

Then HALserver, HALprinter (octoprint), HALhome (home assistant) and so on… Big fan of Stanley Kubrick haha

Tried to get the hal9.ooo domain name but it was taken…

Edit: I use Dave as the username, so that in the terminal it is dave@hal9000, which just seems appropriate

Fuck I just got rid of my 2008 BW laser brother and bought a new one that hasn’t arrived. Thanks for the warning, at least I will be able to set my firewall before I even connect it to my network

Damn, I had forgotten about Dan, but his advice is generally solid, so… Fart yourself into a domestic partnership!

Nice. Gotta wait on my paycheck but already set a reminder haha

well, when you hear from the ones you usually would donate to it’s just a needed nudge/reminder haha. For me that’s KDE, Internet Archive, Wikipedia and my local NPR station (national public radio in the US)

Ha, I use all of those except ISO image writer, which seems like a great option. But I am just curious, what does adoptable app mean? Is it some standard for being adopted into distributions?

Edit: I am stupid, just got the context of fundraising now 🤦‍♂️. Will pull out wallet for my regular donation…

That’s nice to hear, especially the bit about never having to touch the manufacturer app! I never looked that much into Matter and was just trying to read up on it now. So I guess it’s an IP based protocol, but can work over multiple types of RF media? Like WiFi and Ethernet but also Bluetooth? And then I saw also on Thread, which opens up another can of worms for me.

I guess I gotta learn some more, it would be nice to not be limited to just zwave for having a consistent protocol across my devices (a choice I made without having as much knowledge years ago)
