My Honeywell T10 is connected to my wifi, I use the Homekit on it with HA. But I setup a firewall rule in my router to block all outgoing internet traffic to a group if IPs. Then I added my smart vacuum, thermostat, printers, doorbell, etc to the group. It’s a solid setup.

Oh, is that why everyone hates matrix so much? I’ve been rocking it for years for me and my wife to communicate. It’s been pretty solid. Calls/video calls are hit and miss, but the chat has been great. I’ve never federated it. Account creation is locked down, local auth, etc.

I think in kde you can right click on the icon in the taskbar and choose ‘show above other windows’ or something similar.

As former QA I also agree with this chart.

If you don’t shy away from python, I just use the requests library most of the time:

homeserver_url = “XXX”

access_token = “XXX”

room_id = “!XXX”

url = f{homeserver_url}/_matrix/client/r0/rooms/{room_id}/send/m.room.message"

headers = {“Authorization”: f"Bearer {access_token}",“Content-Type”: “application/json”,}

data = “msgtype”: “m.text”,“body”: “Question of the day!”,}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

Alternatively I also have a bot I use in NodeRed connected to Home Assistant.

Double Alternatively, I’ve used AppRise successfully within various tools like ChangeDetection to notify me via matrix.

Was about to watch it, then read “Please watch til the end. I guarantee you will not regret it.”

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve been promised that, and regretted it, I’d be a rich man.

If it is, antiperspirant blocks the pores, not deodorant.

I had a cable isp issued modem that did the same thing, except it was closer to every other week. I replaced the modem with a nice arris surfboard. Fixed the problem for me on Spectrum for the last two years. Only needed to reboot once every 6mo or so.

Lately though, they’ve been upgrading the network in my area (gigabit bidirectional cable, yay) but the service has sucked on and off for the past two months. I’ll have bad days where my internet is struggling to hit 20mbps down. Rebooting my hardware rarely helps.

Just search the model#, amazon and others will pop up.

Mayne that’s old? My quick google show Mobius Sync and Synctrain are two syncthing clients that work on ios.

Set up syncthing on your phone and whatever other device (laptop/pc/another phone at home/etc). Point it to your photos/videos folder and sync to your device at home(or friend’s house). If your phone is confiscated and they manage to get it deleted from the cloud, you’ll have a copy on your device. Make sure you enable settings like trashcan or versioning so the files deleted on your phone aren’t auto deleted on the device.

Yep, I think the only thing github actions has over jenkins is built in versioning. I wish in jenkins I could edit a pipeline and easily roll it back. Or even better have tags so if I break something the team can just use the previous tag while I figure it out.

And the Actions in the marketplace aren’t?

My employers have only allowed a very small subset of each. It’s super frustrating having to reinvent the wheel constantly.

You can install the github actions runner locally and use it, however all that does is eat your cpu cycles and prevent them from charging you. It doesn’t help you debug that blackbox at all.

Not saying it’s perfect, but every job I’ve been at they’re migrating away from Jenkins. And they never have a reason to do so other than shiny new toy. Jenkins has it’s own problems, but I personally think it’s litterally decades ahead of github actions.

I do like runners better than the default jenkins run baremetal on the server, however the runners are too blackbox. I wish there was a debug toggle on runners. Pause at step, then provide a console into the runner. Some runs litterally take hours, so adding some debug output, and rerunning makes troubleshooting tedious.

Huh, I was expecting more. There’s so much to hate with github actions!

• Sometimes you can pass a list, or boolean, but for composite actions you can only pass strings.
• Open bugs that github actions just doesn’t care to fix (I’ve run across about 3). Most recently, concurrency flag cancel_in_progress doesn’t work, and they aren’t fixing it.
• variables often not accessable until next step.
• API is slow to update. Running jobs querying themselves won’t see themselves as running 50% of the time
• Inability to easily pass vars from one job to another. (output in step, output from job, needs, call) it’s 4 lines of code to get a single var accessable in another job.
• UI doesn’t show startup errors. Depending on the error if you make a dumb syntax error in the workflow file, the UI will just say failed to startup. Won’t tell you what happened, won’t even link it to your PR which kicked it off, you have to go hunting for it.
• Workflow Dispatch is a joke. Can’t run it in a branch, no dynamic inputs, no banners.
• Can’t run schedules in branches.
• Inconsistent Event Data labels and locations across triggers. Want to get the head sha? It’s in a different place for each trigger, same for so many things.
• Merge Queues have the worst Event Data. They run off a autogenerated branch, and so they fill everything in with actor=mergequeuebot and garbage that is unhelpful. Good luck trying to get the head sha and look up the real info like say the branch name you’re merging in. You have to parse it out from a head_ref’s description or some junk.
• No dynamic run names. Well, you can, but you have to call the api and update it. It’s a hassle. Why not just let me toss in an @actor, or @branch in the run name? That way when a dev is looking for their instance of “Build Job” from a massive list, they can actually find theirs.
• garbage documentation

I could go on. I do CI/CD for work and gha is the tool they are having us use. I have no say in the matter.

You have an oompa-loompa dick?

I was under the assumption it was so you could copy/paste in the terminal. Highlight to copy, middle click to paste. Ctrl+c / ctrl+v are used by other things in the terminal already.

Fascinating that the browser using so much RAM is the OS’s fault, not the browser’s. Though, it using more RAM could be considered a good thing if it sped up page loading, but apparently that’s not the case with Win11.

Sure, I’m the sinner, but Mr. Omniscient over there knows what I’m about to do and still watches.

They say you’re supposed to be like Jesus, but apparently me watching porn like He watches us, doesn’t count.
