  • Bosch manager in interview: eBike over-motorization is a risk to our business, because eBikes with more than 800 Watt power will lead to much stricter regulations

  • Just so long as she doesn't put it in her will. We want new generations buying new eBikes... no hand me downs.

    Are you fucking kidding me?! I hate anything that requires verification and codes!

  • Yeah, both are fine. I switched away from KeePass because I was using Dropbox to take care of device sync, and it just didn't feel right. Switching to Bitwarden was awesome for me because I self host it (Vaultwarden). It's only accessible inside my home network, so mobile devices use a cached copy. If I need to add a new entry while away from home I can connect via VPN.

  • Use a password manager. Bitwarden has a specific "Card" entry type.

  • I think it's because people are still uncomfortable answering "atheist" on questionnaires and polls. It's easier to say "no religious affiliation", and most people are probably agnostic instead of atheist anyway.

  • Make Your Window Air Conditioner Way More Efficient for Under $20

  • And for the record I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I pictured the stuff that guys in protective suits spray between wall studs, and wanted to make sure you knew that's not what they used!

  • Just to clarify, he uses expanding foam which is much more manageable than spray foam.

  • Millionaire homeowners sued the city of Charlottesville, Virginia, arguing a 10 square mile town whose new zoning plan to increase density had no plan to expand the roads

    Jump

  • I wholeheartedly agree. These are not the class of people to be vilifying.

  • Ehhhh, zoning is super important. Vilifying someone by calling them "rich homeowners" is pretty weak.

  • iOS Bike Tracking App

  • It's hard to answer that question without knowing your budget. I've had mine for so long I don't remember how much it cost, but I've been happy with it.

    Another big part of their functionality is sensors, so if you plan on using a cadence sensor, heart rate sensor, etc, it'd increase the value to you.

    I'm not up to speed on available options, but other brands like Wahoo might offer the same functionality.

    If you like using your phone and found an app that works, that definitely decreases the value of a dedicated computer to you!

  • Venmo overdrafted my bank rather than use the balance in my account

  • I was going to recommend never keeping a balance in Venmo or the like, but understand sometimes waiting a few days for it to transfer to your bank can make things difficult.

  • Venmo overdrafted my bank rather than use the balance in my account

    Jump

  • Not trying to lay blame, but doesn't Venmo ask where you want the money to come from every time you send money? They don't know your bank balance...

    Overdraft fees are evil. Some banks will even clear transactions to result in the most overdrafts without regard to which order the transactions took place. For example if there are two transactions, one for $100 and one for $5, and account balance of $50, they'll purposely clear the $100 transaction first so both transactions trigger overdraft fees. They could clear the $5 first so only the $100 transaction triggers a fee, but nope.

    Also, if this is your first overdraft you might have luck calling the bank and asking for forgiveness. I did that once in college and they refunded the overdraft fees.

  • Thanks for sharing.

    With "Beginners Guide to Linux" in the title, I don't think the video is suitable for anyone who hasn't already tried Linux.

    There's not even a mention of what a "distro" is, and if I had never used Linux before and watched this video, I'd run away as fast as I could. It's way too complex, and mentions way too many things that I've probably never heard of before.

    That being said, I don't know who his demographic is. I'm always glad to see some effort into helping people discover Linux, but I fear this might have the opposite effect.

  • I have Frigate running with a reverse proxy, a coral, etc. I just use the internal Intel GPU on my CPU and it works with a 1080p and a not-quite-4k stream (4MP maybe?). It's no sweat for the hardware.

    GPU is only used to detect motion, and you can even configure a lower resolution sub-stream from your cameras to reduce that load, but I don't think you'll need to.

    Once motion is detected, Frigate fires up the coral to determine what is there. A car, dog, person, etc.

    I have everything get recorded with no processing to a single WD Purple, the biggest I could afford. It holds months of video before rewriting over old stuff.

    I have Amcrest cameras which are rebranded Dahua I think. I'm relatively happy with them, but I've always dreamed of owning Axis cameras, though they are a bit pricey. My cameras are on a VLAN that can't access the internet.

    Hope that helps.
