If you’re not quite sure about getting into coffee, you can get started with a small budget, and you can make a nice cup of coffee that way. Probabaly not a great cup, but a cup of coffee you’ll find enjoyable at the time. Once you start experimenting with different variables and digging a bit deeper into different flavors,...
Q series is also very good if you camp or if you are the only coffee drinker in a household. 1 more minute if someone comes over and you have to make a second cup.
Hard agree. I love jellyfin and use it exclusively, but getting hardware acceleration working is a mess, the movie and show selection UI is really written by a developer and is very basic and 2010ish.
Android apps like Findroid really improve this, but the webUI and androidTV/chromecast UI really need an overhaul.
Intel Arc GPU. Had to enable a few modules, reboot, debug, follow the jellyfin docs for writing to some configs, reboot, didn’t work. Follow the error messages which are pretty much useless, get pointed to stuff that isn’t relevant. Finally someone on a forum had a good reply where they told me I have to download the entire linux proprietary firmware directory, extract the i915 folder from it, and plop it in my firmware folder and reboot. Then everything loaded and hwacceleration worked.
Genuinely the podcast that brings the most joy to me in my daily life. It is not obnoxious like Dynamic banter, it has elements of MBMBAM, but hasn’t fallen into the rut of following a formula (the movie + munch squads have gotten a bit too much for me recently).
I haven’t laughed like that since 2015-2018 mbmbam where they released so many bangers.
But what is the threat model where a TPM-stored LUKS key protects against?
I fail to see it. It doesn’t protect against any physical attacks at all, and it also doesn’t protect against attacks while the system is powered on.
It seems to only protect against the attack of someone stealing your hard drive out of your system but leaving the entire system behind. Maybe for encrypting extra data drives that will want to be resold later? But that is more a datacenter threat model
It is a HUGE business in mechanical design spaces.
Low-quantity prototyping is prime realestate since injection molds cost 1500€ and rapid prototyping is not a thing without a bunch of money behind you.
My company does mostly medical devices and some consumer design doesn’t have the equipment for high-quality 3D prints. We use a company called materialize that does extremely high quality sand-blasted or waterproof impregnated 3d prints as an example for low quantities. They made one prototype for us that literally sounded and felt like ceramic while being waterproof plastic.
It’s good business. A run of 10 prints or so is also like 800€ or something, so they make decent money from it if they can automate the process as much as possible.

They have a new site now which is one of the fastest sites I have been to in probably 5 years. It is full of information and has pretty much all test results from all videos.
It was a complete redesign and relaunch in late 2023. They want to now keep it fully updated, 0 ads, and not needing to rely on the video content.

2 mirrored 4TB HDDs and 1 12 TB HDD, luks encrypted and on 2 zpools (I have an “unsafe” mount path for data on a single drive like media)
removable flash drive with boot partition and main SSD keyfile
-Zwave dongle
That’s it.
I can run everything I need to on it and my home internet is only 100/30 still because I don’t live in a city, so 2.5gig networking isn’t worth the cost. a380 does all of the hardware transcoding I need at a fairly low power. It isn’t as good as just getting a newer NUC, but it was cheaper and a fun project.
Also doing a full renovation, so KNX will be connected for home assistant to control my lights and things and my smart home stuff will probably balloon.
Okay, let me start by saying that I really do love Home Assistant. I believe that it is a fantastic piece of software, with very dedicated developers that are far more talented than I. Although, that being said, I strongly disagree with a number of their design choices....
For sure, but the point is that it isn’t integrated into homeassistant.
For many people, they want to do everything from homeassistant. You can always have kludged together solutions. I edit my configs with VIM and backup to my central backup location via an automation. However, this is doing things outside of homeassistant that many people find inconvenient.
They have been around for a year and are already in the habit of missing deadlines and setting unrealistic timelines that lead to a bad first impression on the market.
I said it back when this came out, but they assured me that they were “well on track” even their to-do list was 2x as long as their in progress and completed combined lol.
I think it will still be a long time before things are upstreamed and ready to go. I am cautiously optimistic, but development of freecad has always been outpaced by a snail.
What is the best, money is no factor solution for monitoring home energy. The goal is no cloud. I was using a zwave solution however it keeps falling off the network and now I cant get it back on. Looking to upgrade....
On most energy meters in the world, there is a 1kWh blinking light. There are a few blink counter systems integrated into home assistant.
If you are in europe, P1 port DSMR energy monitor is king. I get multi-phase, self-powered incoming energy monitor for 15€. It is an international standard protocol in much of central and northern europe.
If you want live current and live in the US: use a current clamp system. You can build your own using ESPHome and off the shelf current clamps. I have some circuits drawn up for rectifying the AC current to DC voltage which is much easier than trying to sample the waveform.
Or in my case, the entire front door is made of glass…
Here in belgium our doors sacrifice everything in the name of marginally more security: fire safety, failure modes & maintainability, convenience, and protection from user error.
Each modern door has 2+ deadbolts + hooks, many times a strike plate that is a bit bit more crowbar resistant, etc… but the mechanism is all tied to the handle so you can’t lock the door if the handle sticks because of lack of maintenance or -10C weather. This also is about 1500€ to replace if you break it trying to lock your door when it is sticking.
Many doors have no front handle, so if you leave your keys inside (even if you are just running to get the mail), you are locked out. If someone leaves the keys on the inside of the eurocylinder, you can’t unlock it from the outside unless you bump the keys out which isn’t too easy for someone who only has a key.
Finally, almost no doors nowadays have a deadbolt dials on the inside, so you have to lock it from inside with keys. This means that both someone who steals a key can lock you inside (see point 2) and also it is a huge fire hazard because you can’t open the door from the inside without a key. You either have to hope that you aren’t too blind and dazed from smoke during a fire to find the keys, get them in the lock, and get outside, or leave the keys in the lock and completely negate the security benefit of having no deadbolt dial + the added inconvenience of another person living there unable to get inside if they come home later.
Then, on my door and many other modern doors here the security that they sacrifice so much functionality for is negated in any case because there is a 60x180cm double glass pane that they can simply break through. It is literally the worst system I have ever come across lol

Though for the actual password selfhosting part of it, that is too much for my blood. Much higher chance that I would seriously fuck something up and lose access to hundreds of services than the remote bitwarden server gets compromised or becomes too shitty to use.
I have that setup. The entire front page of Chromecast is baked-in advertising with a small row of your apps and pihole with a good list still doesn’t get rid of them, sadly.
Chromecast is built for and of ads. That being said, it definitely does “just work”. Jellyfin + Chromecast is a great streaming experience. I don’t have to deal with skipping and stuttering like on the android app.
It is a property management company. They manage parasites’ landlords’ property for a fee so the landlord can literally sit and relax, do absolutely nothing and leech off of the income of working people.
I don’t get why people think this is an ad for “normal people.”
