Could you explain it? I zoomed in just to see it and I still have no clue

Okay but seriously why does Alice immediately bring up a hypothetical person getting bitten when I'm in the room bleeding from my actual dog bite? Alice doesn't give a shit about me.

Knowledge is knowing the common definition of fruit doesn't include tomato.

This feels like a case where botanical science should just have picked a different name. If you invalidate everything people think of as a berry and then tell them a dozen things that are clearly not berries are, in fact, berries, you're just making the word berry meaningless.

Berry means a tiny, usually sweet, fruit-like growth from a plant. The kind that is usually picked in bunches. The kind that you use to make smoothies. That's a berry.

Botany did us all a disservice by choosing the word "berry" to mean "a specific thing which invalidates everything you think is a berry." Just call that plant structure something in Latin, ffs.

With as much bad faith antisocial sociopathic shit Mark Zuckerberg has done, I truly don't understand why anyone would use anything associated with meta. He's Elon Musk with more experience at being.. that.

Bluesky isn't going to be the savior of social media, but with the death of Cohost it's the least bad option available.

This is gospel truth.

If you were the patient, you'd still be happy about that. If the surgeon is cheating the stats, but has already accepted you as a patient, then you have the highest chance of survival.

It seems far more likely to me that Putin requested them. There was a brief period where America had a monopoly on anti-COVID medical tech.

The story as reported isn't clear on whose idea it was. For Trump to spontaneously have a brainstorm to help another human being, even if it's Putin, doesn't really check out for me.

Not aggressive, just a little early.

They don't care about you. They don't even want you as a subscriber, you're a pain in the ass. Most people are too tired and not tech savvy enough to pirate. A lot of those will eventually do something else, too, but they can cram ads into the streams faster than those people can find the wherewithal to leave.

In short, this is profitable, and no amount of raging will make it less so. Take care of yourself, but don't pretend you're making line go down.

I would want them to let me choose the name.

I highly doubt they did anything remotely like "hacking" the seed phrase. I don't care for cryptocurrency, but I hate cop bullshit even more, so here's my 2 cents.

or just found it written somewhere in the house?

this one.

A seed phrase is just an encoding of a long binary number which can be used to derive the secret key. Trying all the possibilities probably isn't possible, and I think it's also unlikely that they found a way to weaken it. What they probably did is find it and type it in. They DID raid the dude's house, where he was probably keeping a copy of it.

"Twenty or thirty years ago, police did not hack, that was not a thing that they did, but that's very much part of the bread and butter of a modern police force nowadays," Mr Uren said.

LMAO fuck off with this. I don't doubt they have some tech guys on hand. I don't think they have access to the quantum computer you'd need for this.

I've been on Tidal for years, but it's frustrating to use for lots of reasons (they only pay their artists slightly better than Spotify, streaming services are flaky, works poorly with my DLNA home speakers). I'm looking for something I can selfhost with the following features, and I would appreciate any suggestions in this direction:

  • integrates with downloading services (nzbget and qbittorrent; or better yet prowlarr)
  • has a suggestions/radio/mix feature, or integrates well with something that does. I currently use jellyseerr for other kinds of media, so something in that vein.
  • has a mobile app which lets me download all the tracks I want, or integrates with one that does. Big bonus points if the mobile app can play to DLNA speakers.

A bit about my lab:

  • Proxmox-based, lots of VMs and containers on 2 different cluster nodes. Lots of underprovisioned RAM in the cluster. Nodes run Fedora and I'm partial to quadlets, but I can convert anything to a quadlet if I need to.
  • Airvpn port tunneling is available to me.

TIA!

 

I'm setting up with HA and zigbee smart bulbs. I've got a few automations already set up, such as turning on a bunch of lights in the morning and turning most of them off again at night.

All these lights still have physical switches. I don't want to take those switches out for lots of reasons, and putting smart switches there seems like overkill when the bulbs are already smart. What are people doing with their physical light switches to ensure that they don't get flipped?

Ideas I've had:

  • some kind of physical plastic covering that fits snugly around it. I'd probably do this if I had a 3d printer, but I don't. Maybe someone sells a thing like this? More just a reminder not to touch them.
  • Carefully paint the switches a different color (perhaps the HA color scheme?). Again, basically just a reminder. This especially makes sense with a few multi-switch plates where some of the connected lights are automated and some are intentionally left manual.
  • Entirely replace the plate with a smart switch? Besides incurring a nontrivial cost and being a bunch of work to install, this won't even help me with the aforementioned multiswitch plates. I don't want all my lights automated.

Other ideas?
