Goodbye Reddit, Hello Lemmy
Probably people would struggle to scan the QR Code with their smartphone. I think most apps can scan it from a image but obviously this would be unsafe, especially when people sync their screenshot to the cloud.
I can 100% confirm totp exist for PayPal, because I’m using it.
Not Nextcloud. livesync is better. Requires CouchDB (Docker available) but with that, its a powerful sync option. Even Settings can be synced
With a digital electric meter, I could read that out but I still have an old analog meter. But individually measuring devices is also appealing. HA allows for that. Opening the box would require an electrician and it only gives measurements per room or circuit. This may also be appealing to some.
I now look into ESP Home. I sadly didn’t found a clamp meter here that works outside the distribution box or require lose mains power but ESP has the option for clamp meters
Do updates switch the switch? I have Homematic IP plugs. They do work but had one update that switched my PC off but besides that, pretty reliable but expensive af. I don’t want to take a chance with important devices. Sure I don’t need to update the plugs but I have an urge to install updates.
I’m kinda stupid. I’ve seen these but they always show pictures within the distribution box. Here only certified electricians are allowed to open them. But I totally didn’t saw the option to just clamp it on a wire outside the box. I even asked Bing AI for help, because not everyone must sell on Amazon and Google Search just spits out the affiliate link sites, that suggests always the same popular options. 90% of the time switchable plugs.
Still switchable? Man I wish there would be a pure power meter plug available, with no switching ability. I would plug them into a lot of things. I know you could measure the whole power usage of a line or your home but that requires the right equipment (power meter) or an electrician to install it
We Germans had this a few years ago. Sky Ticket was more expensive than Sky Q and offered less. I went with an IPTV Sky Box in year 2, because Sky Ticket was cheaper in the first year. The IPTV Box does kinda suck though. I get Free TV in HD for free but no ability to record and no 4K and HDR option, though it even got announced a while back.
To be fair, Sky has some exclusive series or at least exclusive for a year or so, so its not a total waste. And you still get ads (I don’t speak about the sponsors on track). At least not during a race but right after the race during the inlap.
Its not about knowing everything. You can know a lot but don’t have the skills. Cisco doesn’t make cheap products and screwing it up, it not good. Especially it can be easily done at the factory. Its not like it would cost them much more. I can get a holder for like 0.50 to 1€ per piece. There you must subtract 19% VAT and think in bigger quantities. On a per device basis, its not adding much.
They do this, because it adds up and they can save a lot of money. They make more money when a customer pays for a replacement or when a customer screw things up and needs to buy a new device. Its not something companies should be allowed to do. Also it would be even better if we don’t need to tell companies what they should do and they do it themselves. In fact a lot do this, because it doesn’t add much to the total cost of one device, but it makes the product better.
Docker is amazing but not needed. You can compare it to a simpler VM. You can take a docker and run it on any machine. You have an environment that is separate from your host and you and the container can only access it via defined points (volumes and ports).
Imagine you need to run a 2nd Mumble Server. I never set on up but its often that a 2nd instance is not that easy. With docker its easy. The only difference is that you need to use different ports, when you have only one network access or you use a reverse proxy. You can create a 2nd instance to test stuff, without interrupting your productive system. Its a security benefit, because its isolated to some degree and you can remove one easily.
I started using it with MSSQL Server, because I hated how invasive it is on a windows machine, especially I just needed it temporarily to do stuff with it. I’m not a microsoft admin and I know that Servers from Microsoft are a different level. Docker allowed me to start and stop it and remove it very easily. After that I started using it for a lot of and brought my NAS on the next level.
Also one thing worth mentioning are Linux Containerx (LXC). They are in Proxmox but I have less knowledge. It feels more like a full VM than docker but uses less resources. This is the reason why containers in general are more popular. They are less resource hungry than a full VM but have some benefits than running everything on one machine. LXC feels more like a full system, than docker. With docker you rarely get into the system. You may execute some commands, like a create user command or a one time job but don’t access it via a shell from the inside (its possible). LXC on the other hand, you use the shell.
Then use a dummy public repo. You don’t get the nice integration. We used Mantis Bugtracker at work for quite some time but switched to Gitea (a selfhosted Github clone) and are trying to get our testers to use it more.
Also you should keep one thing in mind: needing an additional account, might stop people to use it. With Github I contribute for even smaller ideas. When I need to make an account first, I wont do it. Or when they want to use Discord. I do have Discord but come on…
Except no. First issue it’s messured wrong. You messure a full package and then an empty one in the factory. Losses during shipping and so on is the problem of the customer. Especially meat looses a lot of water. People don’t weigh the water in the cloth.
Also the little e (estimated sign, 76/211/EEC) besides the package does specially allow variations. Only the entire batch must be correct on average. But there is a limit on how much variations is allowed. And big companies are closely watched.
So far so good. The URL is correct, because its the external address. You also don’t need to publish both http and https ports. I only map external https to internal http but you can do https to https. No serious modern browser tries http first and because I always force https anyways, it doesn’t need to be public. Only the reverse proxy may need it, for Let’s Encrypt.
Both UDP aren’t needed for public access. I only have mapped 8096 to my reverse proxy and it works.
Audible + OpenAudible. OpenAudible does “stuff” and you end up with audio files, that you can listen on most devices. Don’t know and care how they do this. Its not free but so is Audible.
When you have an active Audible subscription, you also have access to free Audiobooks. You can download and convert them too. But be aware, that Audible is rate limited. Had downloaded a ton of free audiobooks and after a short limit (maybe 1 hour), I got a long limit for around 24 hours. But I still use Audible. I just have it as a backup and this way I can give my family access to the books I have. But so far my mother only listen to the ones I got for free. I like Science Fiction a lot but my mother not.
A college who I recommended Audiobookshelf, has a subscription from a German only site (Thalia), where apparently the Audiobooks can be downloaded as MP3s. So far I prefer Audible, even with DRM, just because the availability. Not all books I listen to, are available on that site or much later.
