a10c··on How do I permanently disable random Google Photos popup to backup photos? (2024)
I am the designated family photographer. Many of those are raw files (30MB each), so admittedly a portion of them will never be seen again. Storage is cheap though, especially local storage I don't pay a cloud subscription for, so it hasn't bothered me.

And as the other child comment mentions, my rate of photo production has increased exponentially since having kids.

I run a 5 node kubernetes cluster as my homelab. It has both public and private DNS for local upload (faster) and for remote access and sharing (via a Cloudflare tunnel).
a10c··on How do I permanently disable random Google Photos popup to backup photos? (2024)
I moved my 565GB photo library to immich about a year ago and haven't looked back. Unfortunately, convincing my wife has been a bit harder, as she has real network effects of many shared albums across a large family (30+) that all aren't going to switch the immich app so they can join her album and sync the photos.

Nonetheless, a positive move in the right direction!

a10c··on Australian energy retailers must provide three hours of free daytime electricity
First world problems but my Australian retail plan already offers a free period between 11am-2pm without any usage cap, so now with this policy introduction i'm worried my provider will introduce such a cap under the guise of 'its what the government says we can do'.
a10c··on Australia's Biggest Telco has nationwide outage
Apparently an issue with NTP across thousands of nodes.

You're right to call that out
a10c··on Rust (and Slint) on a Jailbroken Kindle
Depending on your firmware version, most jailbreak guides will have you either create an empty directory with the same name as the OTA firmware file (causing any OTA downloads to fail) or install an extension called `renameotabin` which renames the binaries responsible for performing the update, rendering them inaccessible.

a10c··on Incident with Actions and Pages
My action failed with "Unexpected error fetching GitHub release for tag refs/heads/master: HttpError: Sorry. Your account was suspended"

Which certainly made me shit myself, briefly.

a10c··on Defeating Git Rigour Fatigue with Jujutsu
This is roughly how I’ve found myself using jj naturally. I find it hard to “tell the story” of a change ahead of time, because the design often only becomes clear after some exploration. It’s much easier to land at an implementation I’m happy with, then work backwards and shape the commits into the story I wish I’d taken.
a10c··on My two-part desk setup (2025)
I too continue parenting my children once they are asleep.
a10c··on Tesla Wall Connector bootloader bypasses the firmware downgrade ratchet
Funnily enough, I used to! (I even contributed a few PRs). However with my new home battery I need more granular control to do some tariff arbitrage that EVCC didn't really support. Great project though!

or, use Home Assistant to handle your charging schedules.
a10c··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
That's the point. Your prototype doesn't need to be pretty. It just needs to prove that the value is there for it to be made pretty.
a10c··on Clarification on the Notepad++ Trademark Issue
A bit dramatic. It’s a 15 second read
a10c··on Clarification on the Notepad++ Trademark Issue
If “good intent” means making a copycat website and putting Don Ho’s name on the author bio page.
a10c··on Six years perfecting maps on watchOS
You can toggle all three independently via the Watch App > Workout > Reminders
a10c··on An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below
> The industry has a lot of work to do in this department

The “industry” has an answer to this problem. It’s called a blameless post-mortem.

Don’t blindly externalise the blame onto everyone else, assume we work in a imperfect world and build safety around the process such that this doesn’t / can’t happen again.

If all you do is finger point to shift the blame, then you’ll have an infinite number of avoidable incidents to show for it

> Issues like this occurred and still occur without vibe coding

Right and so you focus on fixing the elements of the process you can control.

a10c··on Tesla owner won $10k in court for Tesla's FSD lies. Tesla is still fighting him
Gawiser filed a “writ of execution” (another $240 in court fees) just yesterday, which would allow Texas law enforcement to seize and sell off enough of Tesla’s property as would be required to pay the judgment against them.
a10c··on Claude Pro: Opus model will only be available if extra usage is enabled
I use pi (https://pi.dev/) as my coding agent which allowed you to use your subscription until Claude recently introduced extra usage and I was routinely using the equivalent of my Claude Max subscription in an hour multiple times a day.

The writing is on the wall.

a10c··on OpenAI Privacy Filter
I'll bet Justice department can't wait to get their hands on this.

Australia is also launching a class action.
a10c··on Kindle users in uproar over update rendering oldest devices virtually unusable
It definitely has a learning curve and took me about 3 hours to get perfect. I’m glad I went through that because I absolutely will never go back.

Consistent fonts, padding, margins etc for every single book is so much better. OPDS support means effortless side loading of books. I love it

a10c··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
pi-coding-agent (https://shittycodingagent.ai/) is what I use and is particularly popular due to its simplicity and minimal system prompt.
a10c··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
How about the people that don't use OpenClaw, but alternative agent harnesses that are vastly better than Claude Code?
a10c··on DRAM pricing is killing the hobbyist SBC market
I have a receipt from August last year that prices 2x 48GB DDR5 modules at $179 AUD a piece. Same vendor has them currently at $708 AUD EACH!
a10c··on I turned my Kindle into my own personal newspaper
Not only that but KOReader has native support for OPDS feeds, which the OPs read-it-later service Readeck also natively supports.

I have been using it like this for a while and it is absolutely bliss to be able to view a catalogue of my inboxed articles on my kindle, with annotation (exports of which are also supported in KOReader).

a10c··on LLMs Predict My Coffee
Funnily enough I have built essentially the exact same thing in HomeAssistant. Shot collection is completely automated as I have a LM Linea Micra and Acaia Lunar scales (Both have integrations that use Bluetooth). You should consider support for bluetooth scales etc!

a10c··on Atlassian to cut roughly 1,600 jobs in pivot to AI
TIL that 20-30% revenue growth year over year is underperforming.

Atlassian does >$1B/year in free cash flow. the GAAP losses are almost entirely stock-based comp, which is non-cash. the buyback exists specifically to offset that dilution.

> buybacks will reduce profit

wrong. its a balance sheet transaction. cash goes down, shares go down.

a10c··on Obsidian Sync now has a headless client
It's literally in the second sentence.

Obsidian Sync offers a headless client to sync vaults without using the desktop app. Useful for CI pipelines, agents, and automated workflows
