Yeah I really don’t know how they thought that was a good explanation for them to remove the “we won’t sell your data” stuff. Absolutely bonkers.

Kill it with fire

Yeah, that is a serious problem. Thankfully, my local transit agency still offers the ability to use a card instead of an app, but you have to request it online to be sent in the mail. It took a month to get mine. Really not ideal.

Pretty easy to find on a search engine:

Either he likes Nazi shit or he thinks its funny to pretend he likes Nazi shit to make people upset.

I use a 2013 macbook air for this kind of thing. It works great!

Linus is definitely not American. That is no excuse he way he just ignored the dma maintainer’s behavior and that is no excuse for why nobody in leadership did or said anything even after the connotation of the phrase was explained by another in the thread. The only thing that brought enough attention for any comment was marcan’s responses, and Linus just basically came in and said to stop making noise.

Yeah, this looks like trying to avoid conflict by shutting down a person pushing back against bad behavior, instead of trying to mediate the situation to come to a just resolution. It’s shallow and gross and not sustainable.

On your other points: Carbon bike frames can be repaired, so even though they aren’t recyclable, they can still last a long time, so they’re not the worst. Electronic shifting feels a bit gimmicky to me, but all the mount points for the shifter and derailleur are standard and they can probably be swapped out for a standard cable shifter in the future without changing other parts on the bike.

Oh, I’m definitely upset about ebikes with motors and batteries integrated in the frames, with no replacement parts available. Often you can’t even install used parts because the firmware needs to be flashed by a dealer for your specific bike.

I own an ebike now and I’ve built one in the past. The one I built had a powerful mid-drive motor and could easily have been reverted to a normal bike (I got hit by a car before I ever got to think about that) and the ebike I have now has a basic bafang hub motor with a bolt-on battery, all of which I could easily replace if they failed.

The motor controllers on both bikes are/were also able to be reflashed or replaced without going to a specific dealer.

There is no reason that companies could not design ebikes and their components to be repairable, replaceable, and reprogrammed by users except for profit, and it’s gross as hell.

You don’t need a crazy product like this, you just need a bolt-on bike computer mount, then.

This is e-waste. This could just be a decent bike computer and a light that you could slap on to any bike, but they had to go and make a thing that forces me to replace the handlebars that I picked to match my body and riding style? An expensive electronic thing that i can’t remove from my bike? No thanks.

Yay for DBML! I’m so excited to stop using dbdiagram haha

Everything @CondorWonder@lemmy.ca said and because backups to Home Assistant OS also include addons, which is just very convenient.

My Proxmox setup has 3 VMs:

1. Home Assistant OS with all the add-ons (containers) specific to Home Assistant
2. TrueNAS with an HBA card using PCIe passthrough
3. VM for all other services

Also, if you ever plan to switch from a virtualized environment to bare metal servers, this layout makes switching over dead easy.

I would recommend running Home Assistant OS in a VM instead of using the docker container.

I have a cheap homekit thermostat that I use with home assistant. Being able to turn it off for movies or during peak energy hours is nice. What was most helpful, however, was putting temperature and humidity sensors in every room, so that I could move around heat generating stuff to balance the temps throughout my apartment. I moved my server and gaming pc tower out of my home office. The temperature spread went from 8 deg F to 2 deg F.

It sounds like you want more of a read-it-later tool like wallabag that saves the link and parses + saves the page content. Wallabag in particular is open source, self-hostable, has browser plugins and phone apps, and allows for full-text search.

You could maybe use an AI tool for this, but it would be a massive waste of resources (even with deepseek) and would only approximate a search engine.

That is correct. The public ones get blacklisted by youtube.

to put the “youtube often breaks it” into perspective. In the last 6 months, I’ve lost access to youtube for a total of 8 days, with the longest continuous downtime being 3 days. selfhosting it works fine, for the most part.

I self-host an invidious instance and combine that with sponsorblock. I only ever see the videos from channels I am subscribed to unless I explicitly search for something.

yt-dlp is a good tool for downloading youtube, and there are several GUI frontends built around that
