I’ve got two cats, Mochi who takes his time and eats by small amounts through the day, and Soba who eats quickly and will always hunt for more food once her ration is over.

After multiple iterations with help from veterinarians, I’ve now landed on this:

• I feed my cats twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. I try not to do it right after I wake up or come home from work, so they won’t learn to wake me up in the morning or nag me as soon as I arrive.
• Mochi has a Pet Safe Smartfeed, it’s a bowl with a flap that opens only with his identification tag, so only him can eat his food.
• Soba has a slow feeder mat for wet food and a food maze for dry food. Helps her eat slower, though she won’t stop eating until it’s over. I also have a Pipolino for dry food, makes her eat even slower.
• I feed Soba “Diet” food. It’s less caloric, which allows me to give her bigger quantities of food so that she feels like she ate more while keeping the calories intake in check.

The Smartfeed bowl is a bit expensive but there is a constant flow of second-hand units on the market where I live, so you could get one on the cheap that way. I was reluctant at first because of the price but it’s been a real game changer, I previously had to put Mochi’s bowl up on the kitchen counter, which only worked because Soba cannot jump high enough.

Edit: forgot to mention that wet food takes up more space in the stomach that dry food. In the case of diet food, wet food is less caloric than dry food, so you can give your cat more wet food (and less dry food) to trick their stomachs.

Yes, in my case it’s wet food with extra gravy

Yeah, probably a Widevine issue. I believe phones with custom ROM aren’t able to pass certification

Do they really run tests on Wet and Intermediate tires in Barhein?

Ubuntu (on which Pop!_OS is based) only added support for TPM disk encryption in Ubuntu 23.10, so my guess is that you’ll have to wait for Pop!_OS 24.04

Note that, as I understand it, using TPM will only protect data on your encrypted disk if it is removed from your computer. If someone steals your entire computer, the disk will be decrypted on boot.

You don’t need TPM to enable LUKS. TPM allows you to store the LUKS keys in a secure enclave in order to automatically decrypt the drives on boot.

I’m not familiar with off-the-shelf DNS filtering on mobile, but since running a DNS resolver on-device would be impractical, I think they must be using a DNS server that they maintain. Which means that unless I’m wrong, the vulnerability lies on their end, you should be fine.

BlackEco, 3 months ago

It’s the latter. Unless you run your own DNS resolver, most people are safe

BlackEco, 3 months ago

They maintain their own resolver, so they have to patch it if not done already.

I struggle to find if it uses DNSSEC or even a change log. If it does, contact the maintainer and disable DNSSEC (if you can) until a fix is released.

If you use a third-party’s DNS server (such as Cloudflare, Quad9 or Google) as your upstream DNS server, you only have to update PiHole.

If you have set up your own upstream DNS server using a DNS resolver like unbound or Bind9, update it as well as your PiHole.

Exactly, I don’t get the “Mastodon as a poor man’s RSS agregator” trend

I’m more disappointed by their decision to not consider Microsoft’s Edge and Bing as core platforms, even though the former is being pushed way too hard in Windows and the later is used as part of other search engines’ indexes (ie. DuckDuckGo, Kagi, Qwant)

Still cheaper than the alternative where I live, but it’s kinda insulting to increase the pricing a few months after they announced that F1TV Pro would only be available here to existing subscribers…

You’re probably looking for something that supports OPDS to automatically download e-books to your e-reader.

First search result is Komga

I got the full-screen splash screen depicted on the second screenshot a couple of weeks ago, I screamed “No!” thinking Microsoft upgraded me to W11 without my consent. My partner thought my computer was broken 😂

BlackEco, 3 months ago

It should be aired on F1TV like other support series. I cannot find the article ATM

TrueNAS SCALE as host with an Ubuntu LTS VM running Docker containers.

Original I went with only containers running on top of SCALE but both iX and TrueCharts made it harder to run plain Docker Compose on TrueNAS.
