Couldn’t you use immich external library? The only thing after that is a wayto upload sftp, email monitoring, web upload, or syncthing? Could do multiple options of these.

Those ar ehonestly not priced as bad as I thought for them not being able to sell your data.

My biggest productivity issue with windows 11 is using the shortcuts WIN + NUM (1-4 generally) I have my browser set as 1 and often use it to get to it. Unfortunately there is a bug in 11 where it can do 2 things.

1. Display the windows but won’t let you select one
2. Lock me out of everything until I use the mouse

It has been an active bug for at least over a year.

I love me some builder design patterns!

Oh that’s nice! Funding 90% of a person sounds kinda funny though. When I started donating it was half what they are getting now so that’s cool it’s going up.

If your setup allows random udp ports from home assistant out to your network it works fine. Mines running in a kurbenetes cluster.

I used a configmap that mounts the code to patch the integration so it doesn’t get overwritten. I haven’t had time to troubleshoot more though I don’t see why the patch would stop text to speak from working on the esphome devices. The code changed significantly and uses raw audio files now and the only thing I am changing is making the ports not random, but a range instead. The M5 stack firmware appears to be up-to-date too.

Issue on GitHub with all of this is here

I have this setup and using the esp my stack device mentioned in the article. The biggest problem with it is esphome and home assistant expect home assistant to be running in a dedicated device for this to work. The integration uses a random UDP port to communicate with the M5 stack device. I had to resort to patching the Integration to use a couple specific ports to work properly.

Unfortunately the fix didn’t last long and a update to home assistant updated the integration and now the text to search response fails for esphome devices. My next plan is to try to downgrade esphome integration to the old one that was patched / working and call it a day.

There are various sleep modes and it looks like Bluetooth can be active during some of them.

Article said they were using Bluetooth and a app on play store / app store I assume the app measures the signal strength to determine the proximity to the devices. Maybe some laptops don’t turn off Bluetooth in their sleep state or people just weren’t putting their laptops to sleep? Could pickup tablets or phones forgotten in cars too.

I don’t think so, but it was in response to some smart people developing their government website with the database stored basically in the HTML of the website if I remember correctly. A good Samaritan reported it and was basically charged with hacking the state.

The problem is they are banning a device that doesn’t solve the issue at all except if you have a car from before the 90s. The tools being used for this are custom made with a much larger range. Maybe they should ban smartphones too since people are using them to detect laptops in cars to break into since they are being stupid about it.

Enjoy your double dipping car manufacturers!

Except they all have terrible privacy policies and sell all your data already. They make more than enough from that and even if you don’t pay for subscriptions they are paying for data to listen to your conversation and track your location to sell it. The data usage for subscriptions are also probably very small compared to all of the other crap.

Whatever brand company the car is. They like to sell / use your data, conversations, location history, if you had sex in your car, etc.

Apple was in support of PWAs initially and then they decided app store closed ecosystem = $$$$. PWAs are better supported on their shit mobile safari browser nowadays, but they have lacked important functionality and kept bugs in it for years; I have even seen some of these issues mentioned in Voyager’s issues / PRs.

That being said if they had a more open ecosystem and chrome / Firefox with their own engines were allowed on the app store (they are on there but they use Safari’s webkit because it is against app stores TOS, probably because of better PWA support from competition?)

Flakes is a way to manage nix, nix is essentially a package manager, NixOS would be probably easiest way to play with these tools.

You define a flake / nix configuration and they are designed to be installable on any system. Think of it as if you install and configure all of your programs, services, environment in it and you upgrade to a new PC, you run a command to install your flake from your previous PC and everything is configured how you had it on your previous PC.

Flakes is a new tool and is under rapid development, so it may have breaking changes in the future, but it is so popular that the devs are trying not to break it as much as possible.

Also take my comment as a grain of salt since while I know about flakes and use it, I am nowhere close to an expert on it and terms that I used may be incorrect especially for defining them, but in layman’s terms I think its a decent introduction to what it is.

Using Voyager it correctly is loading &

Last time I saw this someone mentioned the football ones. They are basically the same shape as the eggs for Easter, but show the lines on a football in the packaging.

With that many exploits being used I wouldn’t be surprised to see it is a group probably government sponsored. They love iMessage exploits as original attack vectors too.

To add to other replies, play store protect flags apps with same names but different keys. This can cause false positives for security issues that pop up, I believe f-droid signs with keys generated through their system so they don’t match a play store version. Users then could think it’s a virus from f-droid and use play store instead.
