This is for making the pictrs backend on postgres and to migrate it to postgres. Though not documented with Lemmy it works and I am running it that way on my instance. It allows you to load balance and have high availability of pictrs service.

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.

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.

I read of another it was the same physics but different scenario. I think it was like excess energy moves heavy carts up a hill. When energy is needed, these carts get released and their potential energy from hill and the basic idea of regenerative breaking to repurpose it’s kinetic energy.

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?)

Not to mention the phones still store all of the photos it took, so you could reference the original images that produced these composite images. Though I believe backups generally don’t store them all.

Read a post on here the other day someone had a few articles linking to studies that apple may not be as privacy respecting as you think. Guess custom roms are the way to go lol.

This would also hurt users that need accessibility extensions so they can properly browse websites that don’t have good accessibility features.
