Define crime though, because one particular action could be both a crime and not, depending on a range of factors that the LLM might not be aware of. Even having a million legal experts on call weighing in on every prompt/response will

As much as the collective dumping on LastPass for yet another breach, and how they're totally irresponsible for handing customer data to some third party is amusing. I think if people took a moment to actually look at what happened, th

I would counter this by saying we might all be better off if consumer protection laws were stronger and actively enforced against this. I don't really have a problem with offering discounts to members of X program, or if insurance is p

I don't read HTML all the time, and I don't expect it to be easy to read when outside of a browser. Markdown though, that's my slightly fancy readme. It has just enough structure that I can easily read and understand it on th

The article mentions, briefly, the case of the Austrian who was recently convicted of manslaughter for abandoning his girlfriend on the side of a mountain. The story is apparently much much worse than it sounds from the brief coverage. Rebe

Add-ons (now apps) can't be done without HAOS. It's one of those non-obvious things. There's other things I forget which are also more difficult/annoying to manage on the container version. I have a rather large docker c

I haven't done it either. But it should just be a case of passing the device to the container. You might need to disable the host from using it and pass admin rights to the container too. But it was also quite easy to pass a USB device

I wouldn't put running a weather station in the same class of disk activity as running Home Assistant. It is writing a fairly large amount of logs, plus statistics for every attribute/sensor for every device. The more devices you

I'm using OPNSense for the router, on their dedicated hardware - DEC750 iirc. The switches are mostly Mikrotik, with some Unifi switches. The wifi APs are all Unifi - they are all PoE and wired into the same network, no mesh. Even betw

While you can run HA as a container. I think it's a mistake - Its more complicated and has reduced features. I would instead recommend people use HAOS instead - either running on dedicated hardware OR as a VM. Just dont run it from an

A few years ago I was checking out of a reasonably up-scale hotel in Barcelona early in the morning. They punch numbers into one of those wireless hand terminals. I tap my card, enter the pin and then before I can react to what the screen i

Instagram did a similar thing for me back in 2016-ish. A family member had been sharing some photos they were taking, but only on Instagram. So I signed up an account, verified via email and phone number. I wasn't initially able to fin

I've run into this a bunch too. Just this week I wanted Claude Code to plan changes in a sub directory of a very large repo. I told it to ignore outside directories and focus on this dir. It then asked for permission to run tree on the

If we define face scanning as specifically doing facial-recognition over multiple cameras, stores and/or time, then it's quite clear and simple. A store could easily have security cameras operating without issue. They don't

One of the major advantages for Wireguard over OpenVPN (for me) is that it's quite difficult for random port scans to detect it. With OpenVPN it's hanging out there responding to everyone that asks nicely that yes, it's OpenV

The original site is down for me, so going based on the app I was thinking it was about the actual edible Honey product, not Honey the discount coupon thing.

Only if the detection mechanism is looking at that single IP and from a single location. Find the ASN(s) advertising that network and figure out their location. Even within the ASN there may still be multiple hops, and those IPs may be owne

Once you know the exit IP you can just find network(s) advertising it. The VPN provider only controls their network, not their upstream. So you can set minimum latency on your responses. But your upstream networks won't be doing this.

Their security protections are quite weak. A few months ago I had someone submit a security issue to us with a PoC that was broken but mostly complete and looked like it might actually be valid. Rather than swap out the various encoded bits

Maybe instead of "good value" I should be saying "the cheapest option" or "lowest $/unit of compute" For value here in this thread I'm definitely meaning monetary value.
