A free option worth checking out: https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock . I have been using it on my mac and my mobile devices and it syncs up nicely and seems to perform well :)

A backend for an open source bbq thermometer firmware that a mate and I wrote last year for a product that was discontinued ( https://github.com/epiecs/free-grilly ). The github repo for the backend is still private atm

I had the same issue. The fix for this is to order directly from Apple and then to choose the “English (US)” keyboard layout. That way you get the ANSI layout :)

The problem is that right now I have to choose the lesser of 2 evils. I hate what W11 has become. I only use it for games at the moment and the only reason is that some games Apex/BF6 do not run under proton because of their anticheat.

But you turn the steering wheel the other way. Normal motorcyle left goes right. Sidecar right goes right ^^

Indeed. I never really used AI until recently but now I use it sometimes as a smarter search engine that can give me abstracts. Eg. it's easy to ask copilot: can you give me a list of free, open source mqtt brokers and give me some sta

If your electrical installation allows it: You can connect your ev plug before the battery so that it does not drain the battery. You can do this by placing the fuse/connection before the measurement clamps for the battery. Somewhere i

It's the same when you drive a motorcycle with a sidecar. The way you drive it is just completely the opposite of driving a normal motorcycle. FYI: I have both and the first time I drove my sidecar I ended up in a hedge :D A good overv

Can you recommend a blocker? I have one (adblock pro), but I cant seem to find where to update the lists and sometimes YT does weird things :)

I can recommend Zotero. You also don’t have to pay for storage if you have a server/device that is webdav capable. I connected it to my Synology nas and the setup was trivial.

https://www.budgetbytes.com/ . All the recipes are easy enough and most of them do not require any special spices etc. They also offer mealplans for an entire week but iirc that is a paying service (pay once).

Good question actually! There are multiple layers that add to the security: - Your login session as a user is normally valid for a day (~10 hours). But a pimmed session that gives you global admin permissions can be for example capped to ma

You use PIM: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/id-governance/privil... Basically you are eligible for your admin roles but you have to activate them first. Usually there are additional checks + notifica

Same here. We had a very fragmented landscape (multiple idp tools, some tools using internal users,...). We consolidated everything to entra (450 apps and counting) and everybody couldn't be happier. Full sso on everything + scim where

You can also just setup a pihole adblocker on a vm. It has a local dns feature as well (that is nothing more that a textfile containing all your local records). Super easy to setup and maintain :)

They can just pay for home assistant cloud?

I was just going to comment this. The device is network connected anyhow. So just open up the local api.

Learned Python a few years back; after being a long time php dev. The named parameters and the *parameter expansion felt so nice in Python and it irked me that we didn't have that in php. Feels good that it is finally coming ^^

My birthday is in a few hours. And I just feel the same, I just get melancholic. I just don’t like celebrating my birthday but as my wife told me; a birthday is not just about me. It’s about our kid and other people wanting to celebrate. So

2 adults, 1 kid, belgium. One adult is always WFH (we alternate). Average of 13KWh per day. There is a server rack running in the basement though 24/7 but its optimized (nucs and rpis and no costly energy burning servers) and this rack

It does. It even has webdav sync for the past few months. Just subscribe to their testflight app and you can test the beta right now :)

If you have a synology nas you can also easily install the webdav server and use that :)

I use the CRG9. Combine it with the ms powertoys and you’ll be a happy camper. I divide mine in 3 where i have vscode in the middle and 1 column left and right. I do reccomend getting the one with the 5120x1440 resolution. I still have the

Not intended as a plug but you can even use php for network automation. I cobbled this together: https://github.com/epiecs/phpmiko for connecting to devices and https://github.com/epiecs/mikodo fo

Same here. The combo that seems to work for me is onenote combined with zotero. - Onenote for ideas and scribbles - zotero for bookmarks and documents. Supports tags - physical notebook for note taking during meetings btw you can easily con

I would love to see that video. I have been thinking about this a lot since I don't easily learn new languages. If you do find it please paste it here or pm me :)

Because the pi-hole is a dns server. So it doesn't need to filter all traffic. It just replies to dns requests. And you need a LOT of traffic to completely saturate a 100Mbit link with dns requests :)

I also looked at swagger but found it needlessly complex for my needs. I opted for blueprint api coupled with aglio to generate html docs and also provided a nicely prepped postman collection including testing :)
