I'm a Linux user on my own hardware and was just put onto win10 at my current gig. WSL has made this workable, really. Not the nightmare I expected. But the rest of windows still s…

Came on here to say it's exactly what I use cycling for. 5 hours on the bike means 5 hours not looking at my phone or laptop. Just turn the legs over and let your mind wander or st…

Me too. The most infuriating bit is the settings that require a login. That should never be needed.

Yes please to the API bit. I'm maintaining the "unofficial Sonos controller for Linux" and it'd help a great deal if I didn't have to Wireshark the protocol all the time. https://g…

Freeze and shatter? Car jack?

For vaccines, the clinical trials are basically customer feedback collection via closed alpha and beta releases, no?

I use use a git-like cli binary to sync my google drive ( https://github.com/odeke-em/drive ). Really like it, and there's no weird background process or automatic syncing going on…

I've got lots of Sonos speakers, one in every room of my house. Before Soundcloud was an option I wrote my own SMAPI service to get that going for myself. Then, when I switched fro…

The really big 2016 blackout in SA also wasn't caused by wind or solar energy, but that doesn't mean that stabilising the network isn't something that won't be required if the ener…

I should qualify why: The South Australian power network, due to its increasing reliance on Wind and Solar, struggles with fluctuations in the network. The battery will aid to stab…

When it comes to power generation, tried and tested also means to rely on something like gas or coal fired power plant. Do not want.

This is certainly a step in the right direction for South Australia.

Same in Adelaide, Australia

+1 ... plusa nice command to clean out unused kernels

Got the previous generation (9333) running Ubuntu 16.04, no troubles.

Exactly my use case[1]. Switching from React was trivial, and the performance increase was really noticeable. [1] http://pascalopitz.github.io/unoffical-sonos-controller-for-...

Maintainer here. I'd really love some feedback, but even better would be people contributing, especially if you know about Sonos and the way it deals with Services, auth tokens etc…
