I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

Those are beautiful, but jesus christ on a unicycle, how did they end up supporting klarna? Offering people loans for a tea cup feels insulting.

people have stories how the dev is an ass

If an opensource project has an author who’s not a jerk, that’s when you get suspicious!

I once put my homelab rack outside of my apartment, in the hall. Then used it to catch a bastard who kept stealing my bike light, and later tried to snatch the whole bike.

Forgot to switch from personal to work account? :D

Can only say a person who has never used meshtastic.

The more shocking is that one guy who KNOWS it’s sqlite, but ain’t afraid to admit it!

You should apply for a marketing position in broadcom. The people responsible for the vmware software suite just love to do stunts like this.

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk

Nobody has ever explained why. What is the difference between executing a script directly from curl, and adding a repository which downloads a package which contains a script.

This might also be the beginning of android.

So far, people have been OK with modifying the existing phones to fit their needs. We’re slowly approaching the critical inconvenience point beyond which it might be easier to buy OEM parts and start assembling un-googled phones.

Honestly, did the word “drop” change meaning in the past few months, or am I just crazy?

There. We just broke the law.

They absolutely are. It’s one thing to beg for the right to do something. It’s entirely different to be able to just do it without the permission.

Did people forget how big of a deal the printing press was?

I’ve been using Styrbar remotes with ZHA and ConBee II USB stick. At some point I had an issue with some new device and had to upgrade the ConBee firmware, but I don’t remember which one. Probably the old ikea motion sensor.

Please be aware that there has been some major regression in styrbar firmware released last year. Not sure if all the issues are fixed by now.

For real. The new logo was the reason I switched back then. It was a tough experience, but worth it.

Hold your horses, not everyone around here is a human asshole specialist.

someone with no job

TIL. I’ve only ever heard it as a euphemism for a vagina.

Proxmox is based on Debian, but its installer does not offer you as many options as the base Debian installer. People figured out you can just install debian with your prefered settings and then just slap the proxmox packages on top.

Oracle free tier is honestly not worth the hassle. Their portal is absolutely confusing, and those who figure it out will just get banned.
