“Only Happy When it Rains” automatically begins playing in head

Check out Valetudo. It turns supported robo vacuums into local only devices. Works amazingly well and integrates with Home Assistant for the whole tech nerd cloudless smart home experience.

Tubesync is pretty great

What kind of headaches are you having? I’ve been running two completely different machines in a cluster with a pi as a Qdevice to keep quorum and it’s been incredibly stable for years.

Or 1Password, apparently

Let’s say that I’ve never had a Facebook account, but Facebook still has a lot of data it has collected about me from multiple sources, including other Facebook users, who might post photos that I am in, or share information about me in posts, neither of which i gave consent to anyone to share.

Is it fair that my only option to protect my private information is to CREATE a Facebook account and pay them to STOP collecting and selling my private information?

Not seeing ads for GEICO on your car’s dashboard doesn’t mean that Toyota isn’t gathering as much data as they can about you via the platform they built and then selling that information to GEICO.

As well as information about who you are, Toyota can also collect your “driving behavior.” This includes information such as your “acceleration and speed, steering, and braking functionality, and travel direction.” It may also gather your in-vehicle preferences, favorite locations saved on its systems, and images gathered by external cameras or sensors.

Some models of Toyota can also scan your face for face recognition when you enter one of its vehicles.

I wonder if Monster and Monster know about Monster

I switched to ebooks a long time ago, but had quite a collection prior to that, and was also the recipient of goodies from my mom’s massive science fiction book collection, including a first edition Dune (Chilton, 1965). My favorites are my signed Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams books, though.

None of them are going anywhere.

Not if you’re serving content to a device that can do the decoding, like a Shield. My Jellyfin server runs in a Proxmox VM with no GPU passed though, and transcoding disabled for all accounts.

Sounds like a job for Little Bobby Tables

There will even be cake.

Yes, a deskew option is required

Stirling-PDF is amazing

He just needs to squeeze one eye a little bit and it would be a perfect “filling my diaper” face

Several Venstar thermostat models feature local API and work great with Home Assistant

Gitlab is pretty great!

Usenet and hard drives. LOTS of hard drives.

Ooh, I know this one! Here’s what I did to get it working and set so it survives a reboot:

1. In a terminal, run sudo arandr
2. Set all of the monitors to 1080p
3. Close arandr
4. Go to Settings > Display
5. Rearrange monitors in correct order if necessary
6. Set the each monitor to the correct resolution and frequency, applying the settings after each update
7. All monitors should now work, BUT they will not survive a reboot in Pop-OS 22, because the GDM3 login screen will NOT have this information, and will reset everything. So we must copy the pop-os monitors.xml file to the gdm3 config directory:

sudo cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm3/.config/

Note: You may need to do this as sudo -i

8. Reboot, and all 3 monitors should be loaded in the correct positions, at the correct resolution at the login screen
