  • Question about the 'pass' password manager

    Jump

  • No, only the file contents are encrypted. The file names and folder structure is visible to anyone who has access to the files.

    The files themselves can contain a ton of stuff if you want, but the convention is to put the password on the first line and that's what "pass -c my/file" will copy.

  • Yeah, my experience with Aqara has been like that: flawless out of the box, pairs quickly with no issues, reports state correctly, all good. Then after a random while (at least a few hours, but within a day) they just drop off the network never to be seen again until I re-pair them.

    I even got an Aqara smart plug just to act as a router and pair the Aqara stuff through it, it was better but this time it dropped off after a few weeks. Might've been the battery though, it was a temperature sensor in -20°C.

  • Anyone else here self-hosting on absolutely shit hardware?

  • Running a bunch of services here on a i3 PC I built for my wife back in 2010. I've since upgraded the RAM to 16GB, added as many hard drives as there are SATA ports on the mobo, re-bedded the heatsink, etc.

    It's pretty much always ran on Debian, but all services are on Docker these days so the base distro doesn't matter as much as it used to.

    I'd like to get a good backup solution going for it so I can actually use it for important data, but realistically I'm probably just going to replace it with a NAS at some point.

  • AI in reality

  • In the near future: Journalists use AI to turn 1 or 2 sentences into a full article. Meanwhile, readers use AI to summarize long articles into 1 or 2 sentences.

  • What Is It With LFP For Batteries?

    Jump

  • In the recreational marine market, where fire is a beyond catastrophic event, everyone seems to have standardized on LFP for its safety characteristics. We're replacing lead-acid (mostly AGM or sealed deep-discharge variants) batteries anyway, so just going to anything lithium-based is already a huge improvement in terms of weight, volume and storage performance.

  • I've always wondered if vegetables from a farm that uses horse-drawn tills instead of tractors would be vegan... It's a real question, but everyone I ask thinks that I'm trolling.

  • King Charles won’t stand in the way if ‘Australia wants to become a republic’

    Jump

  • You might be right, but our southern neighbours also have a Senate and it doesn't seem to help...

  • I am one. I'm a pretty weak monarchist, though, it's just that I look south and I'm glad that there's a "higher level" looking over our politicians. Even if the GG nominations aren't always ideal, at least in theory they aren't beholden to popular opinion. The fact that they're nominated and not elected ensures that they don't have the legitimacy to push their own agenda either. So it's a powerful position, but mostly symbolically and there would be a lot of backlash if some ambitious GG tried to use this power for anything other than extreme cases.

    In my opinion, this is partly why our politics haven't yet devolved to the point of getting a Donald Trump. You can say what you want about Trudeau, but at least the government doesn't shut down every so often just because they can't agree on a budget.

  • getting pricey...

  • There's also a Kirkland near Montreal, so it could be Canada. But as it's already been mentioned, it has nothing to do with location in this case.

  • Enel is currently doing exactly that with their electric car chargers (the Juicebox), they've decided to pull out from the North American market and just shut down the servers. Like WTF, at least open-source the thing...

  • Juicebox North America shuts down

  • I know, me too... And to add the icing on the cake, it broke like 2 weeks ago just 6 months outside warranty (red light & beeping). I'm installing a Tesla Universal Wall Connector instead.

  • They always force me to get the 80$ lenses... Still pretty cheap, but it ends up more around 100$ so I only change every couple years.

  • Chevrolet Starts Selling $35K Equinox EV LT Variant, Dealers Already Offering Discounts

  • Funnily enough, I don't think I've seen one of those yet

  • Chevrolet Starts Selling $35K Equinox EV LT Variant, Dealers Already Offering Discounts

  • Oh yeah I'm sure prices are a big part of it, my question is about how they manage it I guess.

  • Chevrolet Starts Selling $35K Equinox EV LT Variant, Dealers Already Offering Discounts

    Jump

  • In Québec, Canada. EVs are relatively popular here, as we have a very good public charging network (Electric Circuit), we get $12k off most EVs at purchase (not a tax credit, $5k from the federal govt, $7k from the provincial govt) and $600 for home charging equipment. Our electricity is also pretty cheap and 99.9% green (Hydro).

    Jump

  • Looks like Chevy is doing something right with their EVs, because the Blazer and Equinox have been for sale for what, 6 months? And already I see at least one of them almost every day. I feel like there are more on the road around me than there are Mach-Es or F-150 Lightnings, which have been for sale for much longer.

  • The store nearest me will deliver whatever you want for a $30 flat rate. I have a minivan so I can still carry a lot of stuff myself but for that price it lets me avoid messing with removing my seats so it's worth it

  • Funnily enough, in my town there used to be a Future Shop, and then a Best Buy sprung up in the new commercial district, but apparently couldn't compete because it closed 2 years later. Then about a year later Best Buy bought Future Shop and they re-branded the existing Future Shop to Best Buy.
