There already exists "kinetic" switches for lights etc whose switch contains some passive electronics that when actuated produces enough energy to emit a radio signal that can be r…

Interesting to see Spain having such low IPv6 adoption. Perhaps that's exacerbated the issues caused there by blocking IPs during football matches that we've seen mentioned in rece…

Are you with SFR? I also seem to only have a static IPv4 (I don't pay for it, but it's never changed in the lifetime of the connection). I asked for an IPv6 but they said it was no…

I believe the full docs page does indicate that there are binaries to install via popular package managers [1] [1]: https://docs.jj-vcs.dev/latest/install-and-setup/

The other replies answer this question, but it’s worth mentioning the public suffix list which contains a list of domain suffixes that have subdomains that are controlled by differ…

Some of United's own aircraft are over 30 years old [1]. If you can rely on a well-maintained 30+ year-old aircraft to fly you halfway accross the world I think you can rely on a s…

No, because unlike a password you never provide the private key for a passkey to the site you’re logging into, which is how many password breaches occur.

Or putting `|> dbg()` at the end and let it print the value at every step of the chain

It's not clear text by default, it's just not end-to-end encrypted. Messages are still encrypted between client and server. I agree about considering alternatives though.

I wonder if it would be possible to figure out which pins are connected to what on the device's board and just flash the thing completely with ESPHome and write a custom yaml confi…

You get more heat out of using a given quantity of gas to generate electricity which is used to to power a heat pump than you do by burning the gas directly for heat, even when con…

Hinckley point C is under construction in the uk and on track for 2026 opening Edit: potentially delayed by some years

It's a shame that some sites are abusing this potentially useful feature to try and increase engagement on their site. The correct (IMO) way to use this is to request permission af…

I don't think customers not caring is a valid reason to not do this. Compromised IoT devices don't only cause harm to their owners, but also external networks and the internet as a…

> SMS is the only second factor that works for people without smartphones. That's not correct. Many password managers have TOTP authentication features built in. There's also incre…

A few years ago it seemed everyone in London used Uber the whole time to get around. It was pretty cheap and convenient. Nowadays very few people I know seem to use Uber (and the e…

Solar is pretty popular in the UK. Panels have reduced in cost per watt and energy bills have increased so much that it makes it worthwhile for many homes and businesses. We do get…

Are you sure this is how it’s being done? My understanding of stripe checkout is that you need the secret key to create a checkout session.

Perhaps, but by an amount that is negligible when compared with fossil fuels: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-p...

no, because we're only comparing the energy required to cook the pasta; not the whole lifecycle.

I think the motivation behind compostable plastic is to reduce the amount of micro plastics ending up in the environment rather than CO2 emissions. That said, burning non-compostab…

How come you compile your app on your deployment platform? I know Heroku does this, but wouldn't it be easier to compile your Rust app on a beefy CI server and then just ship a bin…

All that may be true, and I'm not disputing any of it. But all energy sources and storage methods have their drawbacks. They're not necessarily a reason to something out. I'm sure …

H2 may well be a more potent GHG when compared to CO2, but it's tendency to remain in the atmosphere for a long time is a factor than shouldn't be ignored and doesn't seem to be me…

I agree. This is what fp-ts's pipe[1] function does. It also has flow[2], which is basically a reversed compose. [1]: https://gcanti.github.io/fp-ts/modules/function.ts.html#pipe […
