It all comes down to what you trust each type of device to do and how you want to handle their traffic.

I have seven VLANs, with each one’s traffic being treated very specifically. The subnets for each VLAN route to specific interfaces on a virtualised OPNsense firewall, which is where my traffic handling and policy enforcement takes place.

Also remember VLANs are just plain useful for segregating traffic, particularly broadcast traffic, without having to invest in separate switching/routing for each subnet. Having a single managed switch that limits the broadcast domains for you is a really efficient way to (physically) setup your network.

Anything Fry does is just pure gold. I loved his 7 Deadly Sins podcast series .

Aaargh! Audible did this to the Stephen King Dark Tower series. Don’t get me wrong - Frank Muller did OK in the books he read, but George Guidall (books 1, 5, 6 & 7) has an almost Johnny Cash quality to his voice, that just made his reading really fantastic to listen to.

It should be climate action. Not saying it will be - just that it should be.

Sort of. I respect your right to have an opinion, but I’ll respect the opinion a lot more if backed by facts and data.

I think that’s where this commenter was leaning, though, with their final comment. Assisted suicide should absolutely be available to those suffering terminal illnesses and the like. But, the rules surrounding it must be very clear and anyone assisting suicide under those rules must be very well educated.

In the absence of assisted suicide rules, or where existing ones don’t apply to a specific case, then human life should be protected, by default.

Jesus, you couldn’t possibly have misinterpreted my reply more than you just have:

• No religious view was expressed - I’ve been a staunch atheist for nearly 40 years, since I was old enough to tell my mum I didn’t believe in any of it.
• I never said people shouldn’t suicide - I’m very much a supporter of assisted suicide. I’m saying that, if the rules around assisted suicide don’t apply, then the default action for people sworn to protect human life should be to stop suicides. You know - the point of this entire post.
• Who said anything about pain? No need to put words in my mouth.

After 10 years on Android, I just switched back. Because I admire Apple’s commitment to privacy, and simply don’t trust Google any more.

I need to use my phone for work, which means I can’t use custom ROMs due to our BYOD policies.

For me, iOS is still by far the better option, especially as I use privacy-respecting apps and services (Firefox, self-hosted Immich, etc).

I have an always-on Wireguard VPN, and use my Piholes at home. So far, so good!

Yep - not sure what point you’re making, though?

A commercial use is one primarily intended for commercial advantage or monetary compensation

My phone isn’t used “primarily for commercial advantage or monetary compensation”. It’s my own phone that my company reimburses me some of the monthly cost of running, for being able to use it to contact me.

DeltaTangoLima, 1 month ago

Yep. I get all that, but that’s not an option with my employer.

I’m comfortable with the separation I have, and iOS is key to part of that satisfaction.

Jesus - I thought COVID wiped all these twits out already.

Warrior - chock-full of powerful emotions at just the right points, and a really, really good “underdog rises to the top” storyline.

That moment with Nolte in the hotel room. Holy. Shit.

Hmmm - the Do Not Disturb focus still plays system sounds for me. I put it on charge, and the phone bongs to let me know it’s charging.

DeltaTangoLima, 1 month ago

Sorry - not sure what you mean? What exception?

DeltaTangoLima, 1 month ago

Ah, gotcha. Problem is, my wife’s a light sleeper and the battery charging sound tends to wake her. But one of the apps I need to allow is for my work, and the vibrate alert for that is enough to wake me, so a few times a night I might have to wake and read some alerts for work, but I don’t want to disturb my wife when putting the phone back on charge.

DeltaTangoLima, 1 month ago

I use a wireless charger so, whenever I have to pick it up and respond to a work alert then put it back, it makes the sound each time.

fknlol - like people WFH are working from their bed. I can’t think of a more uncomfortable location for my to do my job from. Except the office five days a week of course…

I’ve been a user of the GTD method for many, many years, so any app I use needs to be GTD-specific.

Currently, I’m using Nirvana - have been for about 6 years. I like it so much, I paid for the lifetime sub, so haven’t really bothered to look elsewhere since.

Interesting about the backups bit. The functionality’s there in the UI to create backups, so kinda weird you can’t restore them. Like most docker containers, my HA config sits on a bind mount, and I just back that up nightly.

When you say add-ons, are there specific ones I’m missing out on? I have HACS, and frequently install all manner of integrations and front-end Lovelace add-ons.

DeltaTangoLima, 1 month ago

Ah, got it. Thanks - this makes a lot of sense now. Looks like it’s so the HAOS Supervisor container can manage all the things that, in theory, I already handle myself with external tools.

Cheers!

if you disable “Allow Apps to Request to Track”, it prevents non-Apple apps from tracking entirely cross-site/apps.

Thanks for that - great tip for new players.
