I had RaZberry7 Pro or whatever that pi-hat was called. It never worked reliably and pushed my interest to whole home automation stuff back by a quite lot, since it should’ve been at least decent enough. Then I switched to ZWA-2 and the difference was way more massive than I could’ve imagined. I got few shelly devices lately and they’re currently on wifi, but I’m planning to add zbt-2 on the mix and start to migrate towards zigbee/threads. There’s plenty of light switches and other stuff still on the house which would benefit from smart controls and zigbee feels like more future-proof than z-wave.

1st version hardware was decent enough and I had really high hopes for the company. And then they went and messed up royally with the tablet-kickstarter. I hope they really can push to the market this time, but I’m not the first to buy their device again.
1·1 day agoIn smaller villages there’s usually a facebook group or two and few whatsapp groups along with associations instagram accounts which communicate 90+% of all kinds of events around locally. Municipal government obviously have their official websites and stuff, but for community events it’s pretty much all Meta.
I’ve tried to change that, but when arranging an event and advertising it on mastodon doesn’t really work if 7 people see your post and 4 of them are across the globe.
11·3 days agounless the data is off site, its not truely a backup
Two is one and one is none. No matter if it’s offsite or on top of your main server. Also 3-2-1 is an industry standard for a reason. Plus unless you test that you can actually restore your backups they don’t really exist (also known as Schrödinger Backups).
16·4 days agoDon’t put words in my mouth. I didn’t say anything about not needing to be concerned, I was just interested on what kind of virus they cooked in the datacenter-incubator and how that might affect on a general population. “Deadly bacteria”, while not incorrect, is a bit clickbait-y, as it doesn’t just kill everyone and their dogs.
Of course there are reasons to be concerned and Meta should absolutely throw boatloads of money to clean up their mess. I was just interested about the bacteria in general, where it came, how it works and so on, nothing more and nothing less. I’m across the big pond and in here environmental regulations actually work, so I personally am not the one who should get angry about the situation, but it doesn’t mean that no one should, even if I don’t explicitly say so.
Yes, but infections are somewhat rare on healthy adults, at least based on a quick search around the net about the virus. If you have some underlying condition you’re more likely go get the infection in the first place and as your immune system is already weakened by something it’s going to be more dangerous.
Apparently that particular bacteria is basically everywhere on the environment and amounts of it around is pretty harmless. Datacenter just offered a nice and warm environment for it to prosper and then dumped the shitload of bacteria into water treatment system and the treatment plants can’t manage that much of it properly.
Also, while it could be deadly, it’s more likely that you’ll have couple of miserable days on the porcelain throne. But almost any underlying condition (being old, having any kind of gut issues, having flu…) can tip the scale and instead of literally shitty ilness you’ll end up in a box.
While Meta is of course guilty here on multiple things one might argue that local government is equally responsible since they allowed Meta to connect their sewer pipe in the first place without proper precautions. But maybe Zuck just had to have a new limousine or whatever so responsibility part was skipped.
2·5 days agoZalo has at least unofficial linux client and polytoria seems to offer flatpack. So those should run on linux, but that’s just based on few quick web searches.
i still need to find a way to setup a simple sambashare via a web gui and a good backup solution.
I’m running openmediavault as an VM for file shares and backups with proxmox backup server. Works pretty well. I’ve got a physical backup server in detached garage and another in a VPS which syncs the most important parts to remote location.
I definitely didn’t suspect there to be a whole new standard of wireless communication to that.
There’s multiple. Some devices are on wifi, some on z-wave and as zigbee is getting quite a lot of support from vendors I’ll likely add that to the mix soon-ish. Also I could use bluetooth for some automations, but at least for now I don’t really see any advantages over that.
As for pihole, it’s main DNS server for devices in my network and rest of the family uses the net quite a lot too (IPTV and streaming services included) so any longer downtime would cause at least annoyance for them so it’s nice to have an option to keep things running and take my time to maintain hardware or whatever. I of course could change DHCP server to offer something else too, but it’s simpler and faster to just migrate a VM to another host.
Is there a benefit for splitting your services on 2 hosts?
I don’t know about OPs situation, but I have a mini-PC as proxmox hypervisor too addition to my main server. Mini-PC is located middle-ish of the house as it’s running home assistant with ZWA-2 and the location helps a lot with Z-wave coverage. But added benefit is that I can (within the pretty strict resource limits) move VMs to the mini-pc when doing maintenance on main server. It’s pretty handy to move PiHole and some other small stuff to another host so that everything on network still functions even if one hypervisor is down.
4·8 days agoI’m an IT guy and we have mandatory password changes. I just increment the numbers on my password every time since it (at least for now) is sufficient for our ruleset. I assume that majority of our users does something similar.
And speed is relative to point of view. If you look at an airplane from the ground it moves pretty fast but for the people on board their reference is the plane itself and they’re pretty much stationary. And, similarily to airplane, when craft speed or direction changes the force required affects to people on board too and that’s where limits of the human body come up pretty quickly.
I’ve been working on IT for quite a while now and the only certain thing on this business is that hardware breaks down. All of it. Only questions are ‘when’ and ‘how’. I’m pretty sure you can’t get NBD support to the orbit. And I’d guess that shaking the shit out of the hardware during launch won’t really help.
And that’s of course just a minor detail, the whole idea is so stupid on a very fundamental level that I don’t know why it’s even a news worthy.
Nothing much has changed. During the gold rush people who actually made money sold shovels and pickaxes, only very few got rich by actually digging dirt.
On a bit more serious note, instances are commonly ran by individuals or small groups and the hosting expenses are paid out of their own, personal, pocket. So, to keep things running, many instances have set up a patreon or similar so that their users can throw a coin in the hat. Even if instances are free to use and ad-free there’s still very real expenses running for the hardware and bandwidth and they need to be covered by someone.
You don’t get any perks, blue checkmarks or anything from it but the warm and fuzzy feeling of being outside of advertiser mandated content and being a part of something pretty cool makes up for that many times over.
It’s not just the price. If you get excavators to your new chip factory plot today to start building foundations it’ll take several years until you get first chips out of the line after everything is calibrated and ready to go. By then you’ve thrown few hundred millions on the building, machines and all the physical stuff. Hired and trained workers, managed supply chains and built a system which is pretty expensive to keep running.
So, you’re betting quite a lot of money and time against that the market stays like it is for the next 10 years (give or take) to just break even. If the bubble bursts in 5 years you have incomplete factory without potential market and a metric shitload of debt on your company. And that’s the same odd you’re betting against when trying to raise funding. Venture capital understands this risk too pretty well and that’s why everyone and their dogs aren’t building chip factories right now.
You’re correct, current is RFC2822 (I think). The point, besides being a smartass, was that checking email address validity with just regexp is not a very good approach anyways. What you described makes much more sense, specially by verifying that the address is not just technically correct but that it actually belongs to the person filling the form.
they discover RegEx and try to use it for email input validation
It actually can be done: Mail::RFC822::Address: regexp-based address validation
It’s really simple:

I don’t know how many, if any at all, are still on board from the original company but I really had high hopes for them. I used N810, N900 and N9 from Nokia. That OS (maemo/meego) then eventually matured to Sailfish some time after Nokia was already either down or going that way. I really liked the first Jolla phone, it had something in it which none of the android slabs I’ve then had doesn’t. They had at least some kind of market share, promising applications coming up and, at least in my opinion, at that time, very real chance to challenge Android/iOS on the market.
And then they blew it all with a massively oversized kickstarter for their size. I haven’t followed too closely what actually happened, or could that been avoided, but that blunder meant that I haven’t really followed Sailfish or Jolla since. I really hope they succeed, the market needs desperately at least one more player to challenge walled gardens we currently have, but previous experience says that I’m not going to throw my own hard earned money on them until they show they can actually stay on track.
