I hope not: we’re migrating from Gitlab to GitHub. I was never a fan because of the lack of enterprise features in GitHub (folders, with more granularity of settings and permissions, scalable usability), and certainly GitLab CI was extremely limited but wtf
I can’t comment on Plex vs JellyFin, but it’s an interesting perspective that $3/mon for remote access is too much
I use another piece of opensource software, where I consider that a plus. It takes the headache and security issues off my hands, while I can support the developers with a small contribution for an optional feature
I recently ordered a Trmnl, because it looks like they do what I want, and I keep not doing it as a project. I haven’t gotten it yet but ….
My impression is it’s more of a finished product, not a project. If there is a plugin doing what you want, then it’s a simple configuration. However if you want to customize, you may need to pay for a developer account
And yet they’re talking about a nanny as a local device temporarily attached to a car and that does not necessarily “phone home”. Not everything is a “slippery slope”
And yes, speed governors were all too common after the 1970s fuel crisis. As far as I know they still are on trucks, like rental moving trucks. This is not a new thing, except to allow a court to mandate it for repeat egregious offenders
My town has been increasingly prioritizing road redesign for safety - my favorite example is a major road lined with strip malls was restriped down to one lane and is now noticeably slower, calmer and safer yet we get through it noticeably faster. The magic of doing it right
To get to a common destination through there used to take me 12-16 minutes. Now I drive slower and it’s consistently 9 minutes or less!
The article even helps with priorities, with special outrage for speeding in school zones. Fine, let’s start there. It ought to be an easy argument that every school zone should prioritize pedestrian safety, and be difficult to speed in. Even if it’s as simple as directing through drivers elsewhere, it’s a win
We already have such Nannies for repeat drunk drivers so how is this different? It even fits with the narrative that we don’t know who is driving- we know the car is being driven dangerously so should prevent that regardless of driver
Every state is different - while I’m not sure how mine handles multiple speeding tickets, ask me how I know that 30 mph over counts as a major accident on your insurance. At that point, the cost of the ticket is almost irrelevant (approaching a toll both on a highway, when I passed the new speed sign I hadn’t yet slowed enough, the assholes. If they looked at my speed like 50’ later…).
Anyhow I have to expect it’s more “good old boy” corruption, where at each step he gets dismissed or charge reduced
Edit: oh, speed camera infractions. I believe those can’t be criminal since you have the right to face your accuser.
Tell me again how traffic cameras make us safer and we can totally trust them to be applied objectively for public safety and no other purpose?
My experience with a Pi4B has been rock solid and plenty fast for what I’ve tried so far, at low power consumption.
While I had problems in the beginning, it was all from the micro-SD card. People here will recommend staying away but I’ve had no problems since buying an “extreme” card. Well, starting to hit the size limit now - I can no longer kick off multiple concurrent updates because limited free space available on, I think, 16G card. Get bigger
If you’re starting with ha, don’t feel confined to only one.
IMPORTANT: a local area mesh is not just a low powered way of connecting devices but is inherently local-only. Highly recommended
The more common local area meshes include
The new Matter/Thread standard has support of the major players (Apple, Google, Amazon) so seems like the way to go for the future, but products are slow to roll out so you can’t count on it yet
Personally I found the strengths of each compelling so quickly added all three of the above to my ha setup. Ha is fine with it so why limit yourself
I follow the principle that devices must work “as expected” for my users, automation adds capabilities but does not replace them. This comes together with a focus on smart switches
As someone who used to live in places with very limited places to park, that shouldn’t be a deal breaker. Some do have driveways and there are side streets. It’s not the end of the world to have to park around the corner. (Assuming the side streets are less crowded than downtown Boston)
You don’t have to be religious to support people who are, just like you don’t have to cycle to support people who do. Both are community needs
I was actually going to jump on their side: that area is still very car centric and you need to be able to handle that while taking steps toward safe cycling and walkability. …… then the video was showing a mostly empty street where many of the houses had driveways, so no. They can suck it up and park in their driveway or around the corner like the rest of us
Or heck, that street is really wide. We have narrower streets with both a protected bike lane and parking
The church should have accomodations though, even if it means closing part of the bike lane sundays
Yeah, I stopped buying anything Welch’s for just this reason. Actually I’m not sure I ever started. When I bought juice, I always looked for some that had juice. Now that juice has entered a new phase of enshittication, it’s just not worth it, even for special occasions
Huh, I wish my town would do those corner protectors. There’s one corner especially, a block from my house, and on a major walking route to our neighborhood elementary school. After it snows, I frequently see tire tracks across the sidewalk from people who cut the corner badly. One of these days, they’re going to run over a kid on the sidewalk on their way to school.
Anyone try Rancher? Is that still a thing? When I looked into k8s a few years back, Ranchers was highly recommended to simplify managing k8s if you couldn’t automate. Supposedly friendly and free.
Tesla always had “light show” as a fun gimmick. It’s one of the first things you show friends and family.
There’s a few canned versions but apparently you can create your own on usb stick. Supposedly it was an outgrowth of qa, so it includes things like windows and trunk opening and closing, side mirrors folding and unfolding, all timed to music, etc. Even before the active matrix headlights were approved for regular use, one of the canned light shows used them to spell out “Tesla” on whatever is in front of you.
A recent update mentioned new light shows and a way to synchronize. I can certainly imagine a Tesla club having great fun with this
Step 0. Make sure your networking equipment can do vlans and subnets.
Given how much I paid for a “high end” consumer router, I just assumed ……
I would have liked it just for the integration with code reviews, but we didn’t even get a chance to try because “it’s too expensive” …… as we’re migrating from on-prem infrastructure licensed per site to cloud infrastructure charged per usage, and with no valid cost comparison
