Create a holding company and register some trademarked design. Apply said design to the product. License the design to the manufacturer.

When the manufacturer wants to destroy unsold stock - revoke the license to the design. You can now fully legally destroy unsold stock for "violating ip rights"

My first computer was a soviet clone of a ZX Spectrum, which started it all almost 40 years ago...

I think paperless devs are working on AI integration, and there are 3rd party solutions. I'm holding out for an official one, so far.

It's pretty cool, I've set up a share where the scanner scans, and it automatically picks it up from there and ingests it into the system.

They have some `curl | bash` type installation, which doesn't really fit my set-up. They say "email us if you have any questions", so I've emailed several months ago and I'm still waiting for a response.

Amazing. And with SSO out of the box without weird "Oh, SSO is Enterprise only" BS.

My buddy and I were playing a bunch of years back, unaffiliated with a big corp, just doing our own thing in mid-sec systems. They added wormhole diving into w-space in one of the updates, and we decided to try it out, which was pretty fun. We both made enough resource to fly Drakes at the time.

In one of the wormhole there was an ambush, I got blown up but my buddy managed to lose them, but didn't leave the system. He started talking to them in local chat, and in the end we ended up joining them. We were playing together for a while after, but life ultimately took over for me. My buddy remained for a while. He was a long-haul trucker and would play in his downtime from various truck stops across US and Canada.

I was so annoyed that the Linksys cable modem, that came in the exact same color scheme was not stackable with the routers. You had a wifi router and a non wifi router in the same exact case with same exact front panel. But no, the modem was completely different form factor.

Why do they always have to look like some unholy blend of a cybernetic spider and a Knight Rider? What happened to a plain unassuming looking piece of industrial hardware...

A silly bit of code that rejects emails from an entire AS, if it gets particularly annoying spam-wise.

BeyondCompare 2-way merge usually resolves everything automatically, and it's set up as the default mergetool for me, so it's only a couple of clicks... But yeah, takes some muscle memory.

Switched to Chezmoi from random assortment of manually authored scripts. The workflow takes some getting used to, because I constantly edit the actual files without calling `chezmoi edit` first, and have to merge.

I like that when combined with `mise` (https://mise.jdx.dev) I can roll out a new computer in 2-3 commands and have my entire environment configured the way I like, with neovim and all the plugins and language servers.

I'm using self-hosted Sure.am and also using SimpleFin to connect to Canadian banks. It works, but barely, since it effectively scrapes with no real API access. I have to login daily to update 2-FA on various accounts, and have suffered account lockouts a couple of times, due to "suspicious activity".

But it still beats downloading multiple exports from the bank and importing it manually...

That's true, it punches though everything that way.

That's fair, a VPN might've been a better approach. I've been having some weird routing issues with WireGuard, that seem to work differently based on the client, but I've not had time to sort that out.

At the end of the post I mention, that having proper separation would've helped, but again, that's a whole project...

It's not really "piling on more complexity". I already have a well-configured OIDC provider that already handles a lot of home lab software that supports OIDC natively.

For things not supporting OIDC natively there's OIDC Proxy for traefik. So in this case the solution is adding a label requesting the OIDC Proxy Middleware, and adding a redirect URL to the OIDC application.

You could argue that it's "more complexity", but routing it through a home vpn, for instance, is also "more complexity".

What, in your opinion is "simple, performant, and sane"? You casually throw that around, but never explain...

The community has managed to drastically lower hardware requirements, but so far I think only Nvidia cards are supported, so as an AMD owner I'm still missing out :(

The amount of open stuff that was migrated into the Play Services closed source blob over the years just keeps growing.

Does not work in Firefox...

I wonder if you could take a lien against yourself, it would show up for any potential buyer...

I think these models can act as router while leveraging RNDIS tethering if you don't have a separate sim card...

Have been self-hosting this on Docker/Portainer for several weeks for a few people. Works fine so far.

I might just succumb and do the prudynt restart by cron every once in a while as this does seemingly fix it.

I'm running thingino cameras off wifi and the stability is kinda meh... Want to try a wired setup with a PoE USB Ethernet adapter...

For most part it's okay to pass through by I'd, unless it's some chinese device, which reminds me of the scene from Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou:

"- do interns get Glocks? - no, they all share one"

Originally I was planning on building the NAS with just the Minisforum MS-01, but truenas and USB enclosures do not play well together.

So I went for the AOOSTAR NAS mini-pc as a "proper" solution. Ended up with two machines, so why not join them into the cluster!

Probably can chuck proxmox on a RasPi somewhere, just for quorum purposes :)

At least I was laughing at the Cloudflare oopsie, since all my light switches (et al) are all local. Unlike those people with a fancy smart bed that went into a W shape because it couldn't talk to AWS.

At first I had the unholy abomination that is Frigate LXC container, but since it's not trivially updatable and breaks other subtle things, I ended up going with Docker. Was debating getting it into a VM, but for most part, docker on LXC only gave me solvable problems.

Look ma, I'm on the TV. The merch is in the back, sub to the YouTube channel...

It's neat that Tommysense works on top of esphome... I'm currently using Bermuda BLE trilateration, but it doesn't quite work, especially in a multy-story living space (e.g. a townhouse). So I already have a bunch of esphome Bluetooth proxies all over the building.

But no source and "lifetime license if you join our discord" is kinda not my jam.
