chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the modern design trends you hate most?English8·13 days agoMaybe that’s intentional to keep you from wanting to stay there a long time and negotiate.
chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why don't the whole planet just use UTC+00:00 / Universal Time without time zones?English181·19 days agoSounds a lot like getting used to time zones. Just get used to it being 3pm there when it’s 6pm here
chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Beyond overt bans how resilient is the Fediverse (and Lemmy specifically) to the new forms of digital control and censorship?English1·23 days agoIt makes some things hard and some things easier. For example, you can more easily defend against DoS attacks because there’s just more targets.
But decentralized makes it easier for bot manipulation because you can hide your actions across multiple users on different instances and those instances can’t easily identify bot signatures like IP addresses to ban many accounts.
chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Google Play’s latest security change may break many Android apps for some power users. The Play Integrity API uses hardware-backed signals that are trickier for rooted devices and custom ROMs to pass.English3·23 days agoGoogle is doing this because they have incentives to do so. They want to block malicious actors like attack their platforms.
Other companies want to lock down their own apps because they don’t think users should be permitted to do anything other than use their apps exactly as they want.
I don’t like it as a user, but I also see the reason why companies want this by being on the security side of software.

Attestation to be able to use communications and other websites.
chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Python needs an actual default functionEnglish91·23 days agoa> bash doesn’t have a main function either and no one is fucking complaining.
I don’t complain about Bash’s lack of features because I choose not to write Bash scripts and instead use saner languages.

I’m sure there were some teams that were like that but I could easily find another team, open a ticket, get a response and see their on calls investigate the issue. It was often times possible to look at their service metrics and source code to see if I could find the problem myself.
Support just can’t share that info because they don’t know what is considered a trade secret or internal detail vs what is public.
I’ve used Brultech in a house before. It’s not very user friendly to setup having to download some different firmware flashing tools and configure everything in a brittle web UI that only allows one browser tab at once. But it does have Ethernet, comes with a variety of different CT clamps. The donut style CT clamps are very compact making it easy to fit them into a electrical box. Don’t use the built-in one, use the HACS integration. The different sizes make me think that the Brultech is probably more accurate than the Emporia with only a single size.
I ended up going with Emporia Vue2 for my own house given the complexity and my house layout not really permitting the Brultech’s install.

Comparing container vs core for security is interesting cause container gives you some security features for free like seccomp, cap drops, namespacing, etc. which you don’t get for free with core.
I find the claim that core is more secure than a container because it has an SBoM as dubious, but maybe you’re talking generally about containers vs distro package managers, which is a different point, but SBoM isn’t the only thing that makes some secure/stable.

chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why Balcony Solar Panels Haven’t Taken Off in the USEnglish1·30 days agoNo, it’s electrical code. Standard outlets can’t be used to supply power because it means you have a plug that has exposed wires commonly called suicide wires. While these balconey top solar likely use grid following so it has to detect a grid voltage, the electrical code doesn’t consider it AFAIK. This rule is for safety and because it would only power half your house because there’s only one leg per 110 outlet.
chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Became a part of a micro HOA and looking for banking optionsEnglish9·1 month agoFirst thing you should do is read the bylaws. There should be some that define how the HOA should operate when it was incorporated. You don’t want to break any bylaws. For two units I doubt it’s that big of a document. You also should also get organized about all docs and record keeping especially if you have any sort of finances.
My understanding thus far is that we should build up our funds and then put some of that money in CDs and brokerage accounts, eventually
I don’t know how much big of a budget you’re going to have, but with larger HOAs like mine, we have operating costs and reserve expenses both with their own accounts. Reserve is for long term expenses like you need a new roof. Operating for paying things like shared landscaping. Reserve studies can help you identify how much time until you need to replace the roof or the siding or whatever other things are common with your building.
Don’t invest in the stock market, but at a certain account size CDs for long term investments are a good idea. We use that to help offset dues increases.
It doesn’t have to be complicated but you are technically running a business.

I was pleasantly surprised when I plugged in my Logitech receiver and it told me there was an update for the receiver.
chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den DelimarskyEnglish2·2 months agoDifferent Operating Systems call it different things. Windows calls it Alternate. Even if it was only used when the primary was down, DNS doesn’t provide any sort of guidance or standard on when to switch between primary and secondary. Is one query timeout enough to switch? How often do you reattempt to the first DNS server? When do you switch back? With individual queries, you can timeout and hit another NS server, but that’s a lot easier at an individual level than to infer a global system state from one query timing out.
chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den DelimarskyEnglish71·2 months agoAnd what do you set that secondary DNS entry to? Operating systems may use both, so you need the secondary to point to a pi hole or else you’re letting ads through randomly.

My mom won’t be installing Tailscale on her laptop and phone.
chaospatterns@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharingEnglish173·2 months agoWith Plex, you’re getting the easy ability to grant access to users. You get a single pane that can search across multiple Plex instances, and NAT traversal/port forwarding. Jellyfin makes you figure that out yourself.
There’s no guarantee bugs get fixed in a newer version, but there’s a higher chance of a software feature working if it’s been out for awhile with a few patch releases than it is for a brand new feature to work day one on a YYYY.MM.0 release. Home Assistant generally holds new features for those YYYY.MM.0, but patches get backported.
I think #1 is suggesting to move the neutral over to another hot phase and change the outlet to a 240v nema 6/three prong (I think) with two hots and a ground instead of the 4 prong.
The 240v at the same amps gives you higher watts so faster charging without an expensive new conductor. I’m
