  • This Week in Self-Hosted (24 May 2024)

    Jump

  • I've had it running for a few months, I don't use it that often but it's been super handy when I need it.

  • Rudy Giuliani indicted for role in Arizona fake-elector scheme

    Jump

  • Please don't waste precious opalesence on him.

  • The little smart home platform that could

    Jump

  • Mine as well, i have a closet with a half rack with all my networking gear, NAS, UPS, proxmox server, etc. If I'm gone, it's time for whoever lives here to just get a combined router/modem from the ISP and call it a day.

    "can't use the wiring" So in the old days they made people leave all their phones connected when they moved right? /s

  • The little smart home platform that could

    Jump

  • You're not wrong and, to be fair, I'm mostly exaggerating when I say to rip out all the smart stuff.

    Thermostat would stay, Alexa is being phased out but google home would stay, flood sensors I have at this time do not beep because of the stress is causes the pets just during normal testing, but those could be easily replaced.

    However, I also have a ton of lighting, zigbee sensors, zigbee smart plugs, camera motion automations, alarm system automations, garage door automations, and other routines that can't just be taken over by someone that has no desire to mess with HA. It's not always about the functionality of the device itself, but what HA does to enhance it.

  • The little smart home platform that could

    Jump

  • It's especially true when it comes to things like HACS. I love HA but I've also told everyone I know that, if I die, rip all that shit out and replace all the "smart" stuff with regular stuff.

  • Netflix Doc ‘What Jennifer Did’ Uses AI Images to Create False Historical Record

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if you meant to reply to me, but that's what I have been saying, if it says it's a rendering, I don't see how it's different.

  • Netflix Doc ‘What Jennifer Did’ Uses AI Images to Create False Historical Record

    Jump

  • Documentaries have had drawings, with a disclaimer that it is an artist rendering, for as long as I can remember. Or what about when they hire actors to do a “dramatization” of what happened, how is this different?

    The quote above is in my first post in this thread. And to say a human can't render as well as a machine, is arguable, but that isn't what this is about.

    So again, if people are told that it's a rendering, regardless of who or what rendered it, what is the issue, and should all past documentaries with human renderings/reenactments not be called documentaries?

  • Netflix Doc ‘What Jennifer Did’ Uses AI Images to Create False Historical Record

    Jump

  • Again, how is this different from an artist rendering? There's been artists creating digital media for documentaries for a long long time.

    Jump

  • Just to play devil's advocate, does that mean any "artist rendering" shouldn't be in a documentary? Documentaries have had drawings, with a disclaimer that it is an artist rendering, for as long as I can remember. Or what about when they hire actors to do a "dramatization" of what happened, how is this different?

  • Best email provider against spam?

    Jump

  • I use proton coupled with my own domain and SimpleLogin (which is now merged with Proton) to create infinite custom email addresses in my domain. I then use filters to move the recipient address to folders and I can turn off one of my SL addresses if it's compromised or sold and create a new one.

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • I wonder if you could use a VOIP number from someone like MySudo for that phone. Or just get a prepaid SIM and you'd have a number that could get the texts for activating Signal.

  • Wyze says camera breach let 13,000 customers briefly see into other people’s homes

    Jump

  • Don't forget cost, I'm working on replacing mine, but a 30 dollar camera now being replaced by ones that cost around 100 each is just taking time. The ones I have outdoors I don't really care about, but I'm working hard to replace all the indoor ones. For now all my indoor wyze cameras are on zigbee plugs that cut power when we're home.

  • Passkeys might really kill passwords

    Jump

  • Depends on where the line is as far as evil goes. Most of the popular password managers are now starting to support storing passkeys.

  • Home Assistant 2024.2: More voice, more icons, more integrations, more... everything!

    Jump

  • Development has been going crazy for the last year or so. I don't regret a single cent I've paid for the nabu casa cloud subscription (not many subs I can say that about). I do, however, regret that I only have so much money to spend on new things to attach TO home assistant and start automating.

  • Over 5,300 GitLab servers exposed to zero-click account takeover attacks

    Jump

  • Very true, the big issue with them is a lot of popular hardware keys, including the yubikeys that I have, are limited to the number passkeys they can store (yubikey is 25 unique). Luckily password managers are starting to support them, but now you're back to having a strong password + hardware 2FA to store those passkeys anyway.

    I do like TOTP or just hardware 2FA as a backup for my passkeys. What I really can't stand is sties that only offer SMS as 2FA, it makes me more angry than it probably should.

  • Over 5,300 GitLab servers exposed to zero-click account takeover attacks

    Jump

  • Not entirely, but now MS, and a lot of other companies, are pushing passkeys. I still prefer password + hardware 2fa but it's safer than people reusing the same password everywhere.

  • Resetting Timers

    Jump

  • No, but you CAN use HA timers in NodeRED. You just have to trigger off the state of the timer itself. I did get it to work but it was quite a bit of spaghetti, I found it easier to use eventID triggers in the standard automation GUI for dealing with persistent timers.

  • Self hosted free iOS MDM

    Jump

  • Mobile Device Manager, used for protecting/locking down devices.

  • Pi-Hole or something else for network ad blocking?

    Jump

  • I did this as well, I still have 2 pihole instances running with gravitysync for now, but AGH sync is much easier to setup and maintain. My 2 pihole instances are running for my guest network only and AGH is running everything else.
