Or at least the tool(s) you use?
I have the same need but it's surprisingly difficult to get it right, at least with the `camelot` or `fitz` python packages.
I've tried this recently and it's surprisingly difficult. Any pro-tips?
Extracting pdf tables, while respecting the cell position, seems almost impossible in a way that works in all cases (think borderless tables, whitespace cells, etc)
So finding out which account owns a resource can be as simple as, roughly: select accountId where arn = "x"
Do you still have it?
You might just have one with an on-board USB stick which is user-replaceable. Literally a USB stick in a USB type A port.
It seems that was the only part they cheaped out on, since it failed for multiple people I know that have models with the USB stick.
Source: erlite-3 wouldn't boot up, changed usb stick (with their downloadable OS image of course), good as new.
Bonus: quadrupled the available storage.
It definitely made me look at online debates a lot differently, as previously I thought good points can come from anywhere (which can still happen), but it turns out experience in the domain is usually way more relevant.
I guess it's similar to that effect where if you see news about a topic you don't know, you tend to take/believe everything as-is, but if you happen to know the domain, you'll usually spot quite a few factual errors which tend to discredit most of the news.
So I assume the security incident is about those who:
> You have a synthetic monitor that contains sensitive information (like passwords or usernames) in a URL or script.

To be honest I first thought it would be a gimmick, but being able to see heat / rough temperature degrees has proven itself quite useful.
But you don't really realize it until you have it available. It's kind of like having another sense available to you.
Random examples of where it was useful:
- finding shitty chargers/electronics which were really hot while doing nothing -> wasted power
- spotting a water leak before it was visible (think cold spot in the middle of the ceiling)
- checking car tire alignment (one side hotter than the other)
- finding buried hot water pipes
- finding where cold air is leaking in during winter
- spotting damp areas
and probably others that I'm forgetting right now
They've been the only ones that don't just turn off in really cold temperatures, even without babying them in warm pockets.
The general ruggedness is also pretty good to amazing, depending on how fragile your previous phones were. For example: it survived a ~10 meter (32ft) drop on rocks, whereas everyone was convinced it was done for.
I've just been using regular hard drives for my RAIDs with really long lifespans, think 7-10 years -- and even then replaced just out of caution, they still work -- and I'm not sure if this is also achievable with SSDs or what to even look out for
Plus, personally I'm trying to reduce the amount of "trusted just because it's on the LAN" stuff and go more for a "zero-trust" approach as much as possible.
My personal solution for HTTP stuff that should be private but I want to access from anywhere is to add another independent authentication layer.
I've so far settled on SSO using oauth2-proxy[1] out of convenience, but probably even basic http auth is enough.
That means that even if the running service authentication is broken, or like in this case, bypassed, it will still be caught by the first layer of authentication. See my HA instance[2] for an example.
For home assistant the tradeoff is that the native app doesn't work, but I'm sure there's a smart way to whitelist requests just for my device, I just haven't gotten around to it since the web page has been sufficient so far.
The documentary "Downfall: The Case Against Boeing"[1] goes into this topic, and I believe the wiki page[2] summary captures it nicely:
> "There were many decades when Boeing did extraordinary things by focusing on excellence and safety and ingenuity. Those three virtues were seen as the key to profit. It could work, and beautifully. And then they were taken over by a group that decided Wall Street was the end-all, be-all. [...]"
Of course, I have no idea if this is just cherry-picking information, but it does seem plausible why things "suddenly" changed.

Obviously you just get an image, but for what I needed (map in home assistant with sensors overlaid) it was enough.

it doesn't seem netflix specific?
You can probably DIY something or always run all the things on all 3 nodes to achieve the same effect, but the first time I saw a node going down and Kubernetes automatically deployed the affected pods to a healthy node, it felt like having AWS on-prem.
Also, doing things in a standard way each time means it's really easy to bootstrap new things, not always reinventing the wheel. Especially cron jobs, I always lost track of those before. Now it's really easy to get an overview. Secrets as well, having it built-in just saves so much "how should I do this again".
Plus base OS upgrades are now really uneventful, since besides k3s (single-binary Kubernetes distribution), there's nothing else installed on the host.
The complexity is of course higher, you need a load balancer to point to all your cluster IPs since we don't get one "for free" from the cloud, shared storage is still something I'm looking into what's the best way to do (NAS with NFS, minio, ...), you most likely need a private registry, and probably others I'm missing.
Nonetheless, since migrating from manually run docker images, I find it a lot more comfortable and even with less downtime (taking down a single node is a non-event now versus "everything is down").
Which one?
> As a perk you retain the functionality of the existing light switch
This sounds super interesting, so both the control from shelly/HA and the physical light switch can be used?
Do you have any pictures/blog/something about how to set that up? I briefly looked into this in the past, but it seemed impossible with the existing wiring (only the live wire is behind the physical switch, no neutral).
Even with the small antenna these devices come with, I can pickup TPMS signals from the cars on the nearby streets, and that's with the antenna indoors.

Do it now[1].
Assuming what you already have setup for Google Drive is using rclone, it's probably not going to take you longer than what it took to write that comment.

It's true that there might be video cuts, but just visually guesstimating, there's very little altitude difference between when the propeller stops and when he jumps.
> Is this because he is already a skydiver and/or was going paragliding (is this the same rig? Another thing I don't know). Would it make sense that this is just "what he has," as opposed to owning both a bail out and a sky diving kit?
Paragliding gear is even more bulkier than a skydiving rig, there's various types depending on the flying you want to do, but here's a typical example: https://qefimagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/303/2018/0...
Even if he is a skydiver and pilot, you want to use the right tool for the job
- skydiving rig: larger, main handle is out of sight, has more snag points, built to stop you from terminal velocity (~120mph/200km) so the opening distance is higher
- emergency parachute: small, usually just one handle which you can see and very hard to snag on anything, meant to be opened in under 3s after jumping, definitely not for terminal velocity kind of speeds
> Wasn't it mounted on the plane dash, and he took it with him when he bailed?
I re-watched the video now and you're right, it's a selfie stick in his hand, as he moves the camera from one hand to the other. Another "unlikely things a pilot does in an emergency" from my side then.
> What is the norm for this? My thinking was this was to distance himself from the plane, which he later mentioned "came back around him" after he pulled.
This ties in to the parachute type mostly, for rescue situations with emergency parachutes you want to pull ASAP, as the plane will usually fly away anyway (excepting maybe spins, but then it's pretty hard to exit anyway)
