For fans of outdoor cooking, especially with this versatile pellet grill …. !traeger@lemmy.world(https://lemmy.world/c/traeger)

I just got one of these grills and am learning about smoking - let’s help each other out, appreciate each others efforts, and cook some feasts

The problem is buying means nothing about whether it is legit or whether a company decides they want it. It only means you reserved it. Any disagreements are hashed out after the fact in court. It’s not a game that individuals can afford to win vs a corp

This is the first search result that came up for me, and claiming the opposite

Step 0). Decide if there’s anything you dont want on a common server.

I realized long ago that my projects sometimes stall out partway through. However some things need to just work, regardless of where I am in a project. HA is a great example of something that manages itself (so less advantage to the VM) and that I want always available, so even if I decide to go down a route like you are, HA stays independent, stays available

I’d go a step further than that - MBAs who not only contract dev out to India but go the cheapest route. I’ve worked with both fantastic teams over there and teams that do more harm than good: the difference is what that MBA was looking for. There’s a lot of great engineers and you can build a great team if that’s what you care about. However you won’t get it by looking for the cheapest contractor in the cheapest country

I wonder if that’s one of those things where everyone thought it didn’t need to be codified, because “of course you would select someone qualified”, until modern politics proved that false

In my state, I see that seems to have held true

There is no law or constitutional provision that states that a judge should have a background as a lawyer, but the governor’s Executive Order states the educational and work experience that a successful candidate should have. (No non-lawyer has advanced to become a judge in modern times.)

So true - and I hate having to use specific ones for specific people. Apple Cash works well within my family, I use Venmo for my teen’s drivers Ed, and Zelle for house cleaner

Good info to post! Actually, I like that this is now a thing to ask someone whose post is turned to gibberish by autocorrect: it keeps the idea in mind, should anyone need it in real life

For me. That’s usually autocorrect. If it decides a typo such as accidenta double-space means the end of one sentence, then capitalizes a word, it’s below my threshold to go back and fix. You shouldn’t be confused by random. Apitalization and letter skips from autocorrect, but I’ll correct it when it’s autocorrect sped to to something. Different like this last sentence where it looks like I’m having a stroke

Wikipedia ….

Depending on context, ellipsis can indicate an unfinished thought, a leading statement, a slight pause, an echoing voice, or a nervous or awkward silence.

I usually use it as “a slight pause” in my attempts at jokes, or to abbreviate a quote

This is the one. SG-1 was by far the best series, so I’m fine with doing it again from the perspective of a different team. Aside from basic mechanics, it really doesn’t have to have anything in common with SG-1 - the galaxy is big and there are many possible gate combinations. However the key was following a team that just seemed perfect together

And probably stiffness. Aluminum would both scratch more easily than glass and bend/dent more easily

I’m not entirely sure what those movies are like, and don’t want to know, but ……

My Mom watches horrible Hallmark stuff constantly. As far as I can tell, every movie has the same plot, they are low quality, etc. The thing is they are simple feel good movies for her. She finds them relaxing and gets good feelings from them, perfectly appropriate for “entertainment “.

If there is any parallel here, my point is that you don’t have to appreciate them for your Mom to. Why does it matter whether you agree with the movies or not: do you love her? Do you want to help her with entertainment that makes her feel good /relaxed/entertained?

Yes, you should not be thinking about security in terms of an outside intruder here. Think about untrustworthy or potentially compromised devices.

• WiFi smart devices are notorious for calling home, possibly collecting data, even if you’re trying to use them locally.
• There have been botnets from unsecured video cameras, and even some compromised from before import.
• TVs report back what you’re using them for and when, even playing through hdmi, and some have been caught listening in to your private conversations.

How do you prevent these from happening, or limit what they can do? One way is to put them on a separate vlan without internet access (your HA or other hub can listen on multiple VLANs and be the gatekeeper) and without access to your computers.

That being said, for similar requirements, I found managing the more complex network to be too much hassle, and went back to a simple flat network

Not exactly the same, but I use the RM-4 with a mini-split AC in place of the remote, and it has worked well for years. You do have to place it somewhere line of site for the ir blaster but it has a very wide range

Setup was choosing a make a model, and everything mapped perfectly. In my case, it even reads the status and current temperature.

The one feature that I haven’t gotten around to trying is line power. I hate using batteries. However RM-4 also had a section on powering it directly that I wanted to try. In my case I have an Ecobee thermostat that I think I can grab power off of, and just mount the RM-4 on the wall right next to. However the batteries have lasted years so I never got around to it

EDIT: or maybe not. I have a Remotec RM-4. I don’t know if it is an ancestor to the Broadlink with the same name, but it’s a beige box. It’s local-only, with no WiFi or app

The first step would be understanding what portion of listeners fit the use case you’re trying to solve.

I’m an example that doesn’t. I have no interests in the social functionality but do want a large catalog of essentially everything. You’re not likely to attract someone like me, regardless of how good the project may be. So are most of role like you or most people like me?

I want an origin series about the Asguards first contacts with earth, and the rise of Viking lore

Potentially exciting development. This is a game changer in a lot of ways if they succeed

However the article is fluff, very light on facts …

• how has the metric become “x mile range car”, assuming some undefined car and everything remaining the same?
• given a specific car with specific battery pack, how much lighter could it be with these batteries? How much less volume would the battery pack take up?
• solid state batteries generally promise faster charge rate - why no mention?
• solid state batteries generally promise no fires - that would be cool to mention if so
• currently expected lifetime or charge cycle is critical info for how close to practicality this is. Didn’t the writer ask any questions? Was there a writer?
