I got it from Archive.org. There was a monthly dump. I can’t easily find it but that’s where I got it from.

I keep a wiki copy as well as Reddit pre-fuckuspez. A Debian archive copy sounds like a good idea.

built-in Zigbee or Thread adapter, optional PoE

Wait what, Green has no radio?? I always assumed it’s got Zigbee.

ODT was right there… but it wouldn’t have fulfilled the theatrical purpose. 😄

The only real problem with the Pi 4 is if you got a low RAM model. Otherwise keep trucking. Use only the best SD cards or SSD as others have suggested.

OMG what a shit show.

I think the very first step to building resiliency is to sign up for Proton’s cloud services. That will give you access to mail, both from Gmail via forwarding and a new inbox with a separate address. You’d also get a password manager and cloud storage. From there you can start self-hosting alternatives. Probably start with Immich as Google Photos is a big deal and it takes a ton of storage. Proton is a Swiss non-profit so the probability for enshitification is not nearly as high as with Google.

As soon as you have redundant storage, do a Google Takeout and download a full archive of your stuff. This feature may not be there for long given the current corporate climate.

I like snap but this is still hilarious.

It’s not about our quibbling, we know what’s up. We could use this vid as a great piece of propaganda to educate others if it showed the same month.

Would be even more impactful then if it’s the same month.

All the buttons are of the bank’s color.

As far as I know the switch stops connecting or disconnecting. But besidss that I don’t know what the failure mode of a worn relay looks like. E.g. whether it could overheat and melt due to a poor connection because of worn contacts. You should read more on that.

Yeah. I buy plenty from Ali but I generally avoid power grid electric devices. Flaws in those are much more likely to result in home fires than some low-power electronic device that doesn’t plug into the wall. If you need cheap smart plugs, I’d get something sold locally, certified in your country / EU. IKEA’s plugs should be cheap. Either way, every legitimate power plug I’ve seen either has a disclaimer written somewhere that prohibits inductive load use or it’s got a secondary, lower wattage rating for those. Or it says it handles inductive loads at the standard current.

With all that said, if you’re educated enough in electricity, you could crack one open and inspect it yourself for safety. It’s entirely possible they’re using the expensive relays. 😄

E: I tried checking my own homework just now and I can’t find Hue or IKEA saying anything about inductive loads on their websites anymore. I feel like I’m going crazy. I swear I’ve seen it written on IKEA plug and on their website. Maybe the all updated their stuff to use better relays? I don’t know. Either way your espresso machine is a resistive load so it doesn’t fall in the sparky category.

Oh yeah, I think qemu runs as something with higher priv. On Debian/Ubuntu that’s all pre-setup. You just make yourself a part of the libvirt group and Bob’s your uncle.

I have a few Hue ones. Two of them have been switching inductive loads for 4 years now without failing. Got some IKEAs for switching small things as well as strenghtening the Zigbee network. I got some Levitons for strenghtening the Z-Wave network and a couple of Zooz for power metering applications.

Keep in mind that most of these can’t be used with heavy inductive loads without failing prematurely. Inductive loads produce sparks in the switch relay and the relay contacts will degrade as a result. You can use cheap plugs for small non-inductive loads. As long as they’re certified for safety in your country, they shouldn’t catch fire when they fail. For inductive loads or heavier things, like your 1400W espresso machine, you also want it to be proven high quality.

But yeah, the vast majority of my home automation stuff is Zigbee and Z-Wave, fully local / offline.

Not sure what you mean by QEMU system session. I might be able to shed light if you elaborate.

Use virtiofs. There’s a driver for Windows. Very fast. We use it in production with a different hypervisor and Linux VMs. Different client driver but I suppose the Windows driver should be fine too.

I mean, what you really want long-term is ZFS but the setup becomes significantly less trivial and docs aren’t nearly as abundant and LVM+Btrfs gives you a good subset of the benefits. I recently converted my laptop to ZFS on root and I can now do lightning-fast backups of the system while it’s running. And that’s only really possible if the backup machine also runs ZFS.
