I think the YouTube Downloader is paid and they might be getting it confused.

I’ve got a mini and am looking into getting another mini or a full size. Caper sounds like a fantastic name considering how sneaky my current one is.

There’s nothing worse than SSHing into a remote machine, coding some stuff in vim and losing the SSH connection randomly. Especially when you’re working in a controlled remote environment instead of locally, screen is super useful to keep your place when you get back.

I make use of the Aqara wall switches. Because I live in a 120 year old house without neutral wiring and with 120V lines, Aqara is one of the few that makes a no-neutral wall switch that fits in a standard Decora mount and also works when the Zigbee network is down.

WS-USC01 through WS-USC04

Comes in with- and without- neutral options as well as single and double rockers.

If you’re not in the US they also make a much wider variety of switches, mix of touch and rockers, that work with 240V with and without neutrals.

I’m aware that Aqara is a Chinese company and you should probably never let them on your wifi network. But because it’s Zigbee it’s far less of a risk and they’re plug and play compatible with all of the major Zigbee controllers.

Reputable? Eh, depends on your definition.

A lot of people make use of Sonoff and Tuya-relabled Zigbee relays. If you’re able to control it at a wall switch (so not an actual relay) then your options greatly increase.

Can I discourage rolling your own password manager (like using a text doc or spreadsheet) and instead recommend what you hopefully meant, self-hosting your own password manager?

I believe the Pro (or whatever they call the highest trim nowadays) supports USB4.

You can select multiple entities at once by holding SHIFT while clicking them (in iD and JOSM at least). From there you can set the missing tag (I think it’s marked=no) at the bottom of the combined tags table in the left pane.

As someone who has been drawing a ton of sidewalks and crossings lately, this is probably the most annoying thing I have to encounter. You can get around the warnings for marked crossings that are automatically created by just setting the markings, but you don’t have that option for unmarked crossings so you either have to set the tag in bulk at the end or hit the upgrade tags button on every node.

This has to be an easy fix to send in a pull request… 🤔

My understanding is that you’re not going to find a self hosted solution that makes use of SMS (not counting email to SMS gateways) because sending SMS programmatically requires a SMS gateway those aren’t cheap (think of Twilio). You can find many options for app-based notifications (push notifications usually) and email-based notifications as a workaround.

Accidentally checked the bot flag in your account?

Good point, it doesn’t appear to be. Might be good to drop a note on GitHub (or their contact method of choice) so they can set that flag.

Edit: I just went and sent them a mention on Mastodon. I noticed it’s an admin account so I wonder if Lemmy lets both flags be set at once.

I personally just started using Owntracks, which is a standalone location tracker. There is also Traccar which I looked into but opted not to make use of.

Some people use it as a Find My replacement, I personally make use of it as a Google Maps Timeline replacement (and have imported my previous data as a result) as well as for Tile tracker location history (which I’ve got custom scripted currently).

Wait since when does a tilde mean high availability?

That’s a popular enough opinion that it’s being worked on and should be coming soon.

Can we consider this an open and obvious secret? They’re DDoSing that instance not because they think it’ll take everyone down, but because it’ll take down the most number of people with the least amount of effort.

Definitely agree with this one, though I will say you can replace one proprietary bit of software (Microsoft Office) with another (Google Drive/Docs) and get a large portion of the way in some industries. Really depends on what you need to do.

But alas, still no widely accepted FOSS alternatives.

I remember way back in uni at a hackathon, our table had a projector on it so of course we connected to it and set up Hacker Typer to auto play and keep typing out gibberish. But then some sponsor walked on by and stared, visibly impressed by what was happening. It wasn’t until they asked for a picture that we realized they had never seen Hacker Typer before. And yes, we took the picture without telling them what it was.

Man, imagine how useful that would actually be though? You’d save a lot of money and headache a few months down the line…
