“So what do you do for fun?”
If that’s too direct, just mention something fun you did recently and let them decide to respond in kind. If they don’t open up to you like that in the slightest, after you open up to them in such a small way, then you should just take the hint and go talk to someone else.
I think it’s a good idea, everyone should be automating this anyway.
This is still not possible in all scenarios. For example, wildcard certificates for DNS providers with no API support.
Self hosting is a viable option, if not difficult. This is also an opportunity to start Canadian-oriented services.
How? It’s very simple you see. This is “legal” and “constitutional” when ordinary citizens do absolutely nothing to uphold the constitution and laws or hold those responsible for doing so accountable.
Nah, it’s only happening because the people are rolling over and letting them.
Try AliExpress. It has all the same Chinese garbage, but at half the price.
I already stopped buying from Amazon. You can buy exactly the same Chinese crap from AliExpress for half the price. Bonus points for not funding Bezos’ attempts to undermine democracy in our own backyard. Just gotta be a bit more patient, but that’s an easy price to pay.
I think it’s safe to say that intent is what matters, not the technicality of communicating that intent. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intention
This opinion is so backwards, it’s actually impressive.
The purpose of a locked boot system is to control what the device does as much as possible, which intentionally, or incidentally (it makes no difference) means the manufacturer and only the manufacturer gets to decide how much privacy they get to invade.
Get real.
In practice, patents don’t really restrict the availability of a technology, from a consumer perspective. Patent holders regularly licence the use of patents. The only purpose of a patent is to fund research costs by creating some guaranteed revenue stream for the patentor.
The only time what you describe happens is if a company ignores its prime directive to generate profit. Such benevolent companies are a very rare thing.
It’s a tech demo. It’s not made to be practical. It is made to spur the imagination.
For the public, this probably sounds like a strange and non prestigious reason to pursue a career in law, but for lawyers, dealing with people’s idiosyncrasies is one of the juiciest and most interesting parts of the job and a big reason to be drawn to the profession to begin with.
You say that like it’s everyone else’s job to do that. So long as you (and by extension everyone else) carry that attitude, nothing is going to change.
I feel like the very situation you lament is caused precisely because of people with your attitude who basically just roll over and give up on making this country better. I have no sympathy for apathy.
Are you here because you believe in something and actually want to see it happen, or are you here just to stroke your own ego. Ain’t nobody got time for that second part. Get real.
The generation that warned their children about brain rot have succumbed to that brain rot.
I would support this.
Learning ESPHome has been the most liberating thing. Take back control of your home. Local first. Privacy respecting.
Yes, but also no. Older hardware is less power efficient, which is a cost in its own right, but also decreases backup runtime during power failure, and generates more noise and heat. It also lacks modern accelerated computing, like ai cores or hardware video encoders or decoders, if you are running those appd. Not to mention lack of nvme support, or a good NIC.
For me a good compromise is to recycle hardware upgrades every 4-5 years. A 19 year old computer? I would not bother.
