As much as the collective dumping on LastPass for yet another breach, and how they're totally irresponsible for handing customer data to some third party is amusing. I think if peo…

I would counter this by saying we might all be better off if consumer protection laws were stronger and actively enforced against this. I don't really have a problem with offering …

> It’s not like we have a term like “individual contributor” or anything in the industry. Perhaps I'm missing something here. To me "individual contributor" means anyone who is NOT…

I'm in Australia but similar sounding system is in operation at our two major supermarkets. I scanned a drink, heard the beep, put it in the bag. I scanned a loaf of bread, heard a…

I don't read HTML all the time, and I don't expect it to be easy to read when outside of a browser. Markdown though, that's my slightly fancy readme. It has just enough structure t…

> I believe a VPN should stay hidden if it works, no need to have it visible. Which is fine if you only have one VPN client or one VPN network and you don't need to turn it on/off …

> It is a shame articles like this imply that all men act this way It's not implying that at all.

The article mentions, briefly, the case of the Austrian who was recently convicted of manslaughter for abandoning his girlfriend on the side of a mountain. The story is apparently …

Add-ons (now apps) can't be done without HAOS. It's one of those non-obvious things. There's other things I forget which are also more difficult/annoying to manage on the container…

I haven't done it either. But it should just be a case of passing the device to the container. You might need to disable the host from using it and pass admin rights to the contain…

I wouldn't put running a weather station in the same class of disk activity as running Home Assistant. It is writing a fairly large amount of logs, plus statistics for every attrib…

I'm using OPNSense for the router, on their dedicated hardware - DEC750 iirc. The switches are mostly Mikrotik, with some Unifi switches. The wifi APs are all Unifi - they are all …

While you can run HA as a container. I think it's a mistake - Its more complicated and has reduced features. I would instead recommend people use HAOS instead - either running on d…

A few years ago I was checking out of a reasonably up-scale hotel in Barcelona early in the morning. They punch numbers into one of those wireless hand terminals. I tap my card, en…

Instagram did a similar thing for me back in 2016-ish. A family member had been sharing some photos they were taking, but only on Instagram. So I signed up an account, verified via…

My desk has 2x 27" and 1x 43" Dell monitors. Unfortunately the new work MacBook only supports two external displays so one of those 27 sits idle. What used to be nice is now a case…

good news: that seat design is available and some airlines use it.

I've run into this a bunch too. Just this week I wanted Claude Code to plan changes in a sub directory of a very large repo. I told it to ignore outside directories and focus on th…

If we define face scanning as specifically doing facial-recognition over multiple cameras, stores and/or time, then it's quite clear and simple. A store could easily have security …

One of the major advantages for Wireguard over OpenVPN (for me) is that it's quite difficult for random port scans to detect it. With OpenVPN it's hanging out there responding to e…

The original site is down for me, so going based on the app I was thinking it was about the actual edible Honey product, not Honey the discount coupon thing.

> What’s the latest on this from the OP? Did Tim Cook’s team respond? From their bsky account, maybe. [1] https://bsky.app/profile/hey.paris/post/3ma3of537kk2d

Only if the detection mechanism is looking at that single IP and from a single location. Find the ASN(s) advertising that network and figure out their location. Even within the ASN…

Once you know the exit IP you can just find network(s) advertising it. The VPN provider only controls their network, not their upstream. So you can set minimum latency on your resp…
