Just configure firewalld on your raspberry pi to allow oncoming ssh, set up your ed25519 key and cat the public key (append piping) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, then ssh coffee@home && cd ~/brew && make.

i would like to submit my new smoke/co2 detectors to this thread

after installing them i noticed they periodically blink red every 15 seconds or so. i was concerned until i read that this is what they do to indicate everything is normal

yes, that's correct: alarm equipment that FLASHES RED TO INDICATE NORMALITY

They don't really need lights at all.

Wait until night, close your eyes and every minute or so one of the photoreceptors in your eye will flash as it's hit by the decay particle from the americium in the detector.

Just for the record, an automatic rice cooker isn't some marvel of modern technology, it just has a thermometer that tells it to turn the heat down when the internal temperature exceeds the boiling point of water (which means all the water has boiled off). I mean, they can add other fancy doodads like delays and stuff, but that's the basic premise of a rice cooker.

One of the most hilarious arguments I ever saw on these forums was people trying to convince someone that (in an open vessel and 1 atmosphere of pressure, etc) water will not get hotter than 100°C.

"But if I put the hotplate on 200°, the water will be 200°. That's just logic."

"No, it boils off that energy. The water remains no hotter than 100°"

"That makes no sense!"

It went on for pages and was like reading the infamous "train every second day for a week" thread from that bodybuilding forum, but in real time.

I'm at 1800m / 6000ft. Pasta and rice needs a couple more minutes, no noticeable difference in coffee which I know Italians complain about in the mountains. Not really high enough for anything significant.

The air is pretty dry though.

Curious how they plan to implement this in
1.) electronics with no battery backup, which means they require plugging in to work at all.
2.) anything that can connect to the internet in general, as Bluetooth is an infamous attack vector for exploits, and I'm sure manufacturers and OEMs are willing to take on the extra costs... :jerkbag:

Also, when their security is inevitably cracked/leaked, how do they prevent individuals and organized crime deactivating security for every single thing just by walking around with a phone/raspberry pi in a backpack broadcasting the codes.

Pretty much, even if they choose something else like Lora or some other radio, its just asking for someone to crack it and start stealing gear.

"Senior management's job is to pay people. If they can gently caress a thousand people out of a hundred grand each, that's ten million more for them. They have four categories: happy, satisfied, dissatisfied, and disgusted. If they hit happy, they’ve screwed up: They never want you happy. On the other hand, they don’t want you so disgusted you quit. The sweet spot is somewhere between dissatisfied and disgusted."

From listening to dirtbag podcasts Home Depot got a reputation as a good place for shoplifting because they had a very, very generous return policy and it was easy to return shoplifted items for cash or gift cards. And even after they cut that off tools are supposedly still easy to sell at pawn shops or 2nd-hand. Still, yeah it's a rounding error that's just going to annoy their big customers. Imagine the first time somebody loses 2 hours of work running back to Home Depot because the cashier didn't scan the thing right.

I was thinking about this yesterday but aren't almost all of our modern problems a direct result of the industrial revolution and our pursuit of efficiency, speed and easing our burden of labor through technology? I recognize the incredible advances we've made in medicine, transportation and construction but it all comes at the cost of pollution, global warming, privacy concerns, automation eliminating jobs, disinformation and cyber crimes on the web, and things like infrastructure issues to support it all that no one wants to pay for.

I don't know too many people that feel like they have a ton of free time on their hands or that much of this is all that convenient or makes our lives easier. In fact, it seems quite the opposite where most of us are beholden to the machines and almost dependent on them. I'm not suggesting we all live in grass huts with no electricity so much as noticing that it seems like a never ending chase to finally be able to relax that never comes.

I’m just getting caught up on the thread so I’m sure this has been addressed but (if you aren’t joking) you’ve basically recited Kaczynski’s Manifesto lol
