f3d46600-b66e··on Škoda DuoBell: A bicycle bell that penetrates noise-cancelling headphones
I did that, but I used battery - couldn't figure out how to hook up to the e-bike's 50v electrical system (plus the DC-DC converter with high enough current...)

So I am using LiPo 3S, 2200mAh. Works like a charm. I keep it at its storage voltage (3.7-3.8v per cell), and it hardly drained the battery (there is no paracitic drain). Whole thing was like $20.

f3d46600-b66e··on Almost all new car sales in Norway last month were EVs
1) new Evs are still more expensive than new gas cars 2) in some states, the registration fees are higher (+$225 in Washington State) 3) if it's your only car it may be a bit limiting, unless you are willing to rent a gas car on occasion.

I suspect it won't help. If your key is compromised, the previous sessions are compromised as well. I.e. the attacker now knows the password.

If it's encrypted, it's not deduplicable and not compressable

1.5k per month is more than 23tb of hard drives for 10 years ....

I read that microphone in Bluetooth stops working (on Chevy bolt)
f3d46600-b66e··on Ente: Open-Source, E2E Encrypted, Google Photos Alternative
I have 5TB with a few hundred thousand pics in immich, and unfortunately opening the mobile app is slow (it loads some state from the server and that takes forever...)

Perhaps you have not noticed release notes. There were bunch of releases where you had to change the docker compose file, and you can't just apply updates automatically to immich.

How does it compare to immich?
f3d46600-b66e··on Thanks FedEx, this is why we keep getting phished
Yubikey supports this already, but without the phone part.
f3d46600-b66e··on I got robbed of my first kernel contribution
I will point out that finding and root causing a bug (and perhaps writing a test) is THE contribution. Very often fixing the bug, once all unknowns have been resolved, is trivial.

Many times a one line fix takes days off debugging and analysis. Seems like this was the case here, since the original bug was open for 6 years.

+1, didn't work for me either. There's dozens of us!

Have you seen an engine compartment of the Tesla? It's empty! So much empty space. Am I paying for this space? Oh no!

f3d46600-b66e··on Tech compensation in 2021
I haven't been looking, but i was under the impression that you could have some ... Last year, not in the recent months?

Maybe you are right, then the math changes, but only slightly?

f3d46600-b66e··on Tech compensation in 2021
If you want to purchase a home, you probably need to replace 2k with 4k-5k/month for a mortgage on a home (30 year loan) + ~1k/month in property taxes.

Add two kids, each 2k/mo/child in daycare.

That's 7k/month extra.

Still leaves you a nice chunk though.

f3d46600-b66e··on Windows 11’s first update makes AMD CPU performance even worse
We have a computer (laptop) from 2011 - Lenovo w520, with 4 core i7 (second gen) and 16GB ram, full hd IPS screen, and factory SSD, and dedicated Nvidia Quadro with 2GB graphic ram. Boy this computer still rocks, and the battery still lasts 2-3 hours. I think there weren't that many advances in raw speed. The only thing it is missing is HEVC hardware decoding (i don't remember if it has h.264, possibly not)

What I'm trying to say: 10 years is not that much for computers these day?

f3d46600-b66e··on Self directed IRAs under attack in proposed tax bill
More complicated: they can contribute to IRA and pay taxes on it, and then they can convert to Roth IRA and have tax free appreciation of the assets, and tax-free withdrawals.

IANAL, IANA tax lawyer, TINALA

f3d46600-b66e··on Job-hopping heats up: 65% of U.S. workers are looking for a new job
It was $2.5 for 2x4 pre-pandemic, so still has a room to go down :-)
f3d46600-b66e··on Apple explicitly asks employees to merge their personal and work accounts
Using corporate devices for personal stuff was imo always a grey area. Some companies have lax policies, some strongly discourage this.

If the device is provided by the company, there should be little expectation of privacy on such devices.

I would not consider adding personal onedrive/Dropbox/etc. On a corp device, nor the email.

f3d46600-b66e··on Hash collision in Apple NeuralHash model
What makes CSAM database private?

It's my understanding that many tech companies (Microsoft? Dropbox? Google? Apple? Other?) (and many people in those companies) have access to the CSAM database, which essentially makes it public.

On a DSLR front: are there now DSLR/cameras that do the type of "computational photography" that pixel or iphones are doing?

Not having to edit the pictures is a huge plus, and JPG files in Nikon, even with dynamic range on, are pretty mediocre compared to Pixel phone.

How does Nokia 215 solve the problem? All messages, including any images, wi now go through the carrier's network (and the recipient's carrier) and be subject to intercept, analysis, and sale by those two entities.

I'm not sure how is that better?

Wouldn't AOSP/Lineage with Signal installed be better?

f3d46600-b66e··on 25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build
My Netgear access point consumes 7-8watts. My home server, with 2*12TB drives, 2*3TB, and 1nvme, which also acts as NVR (for POE cameras), recording 24x7, and which also acts as owncloud server (and few other things) consumes 40-50watts (and it includes a 10gbps SFP+ fiber). It also includes a wireless card and acts as an access point. It also runs a few VMS, continuous integration server, pihole and other stuff.

This is not x100, it's x7 times. And the utility is much much higher.

Before, i was using amd Apu, and it consumed 20-30 watts, but did not support AES-NI, which made the disk access limited to 60MB/s :-(

It's way cheaper to run everything at home than paying for the cloud, even if u include electricity cost.

It's about $50/year for electricity (1 watt 24/7 =~ $1 per year)

f3d46600-b66e··on CVE-2020-9771 is not fixed correctly (2020)
Full disk access bypassing user permissions ... Is bad, even if "full disk access" to the app was indeed given.

This is not obvious when you allow terminal (or any other app) the disk access.

This is a grumble about the state of the email. Hosting your own mailserver is a pain-in-the butt when things go wrong.

In this case, DJI is "proxying" the email via their server, trying to impersonate your server :) and then the next server in line drops the email, because a failed DMARC/SPF/DKIM policy.

:(

I wonder what are your best practices for SPF/DKIM/DMARC for best compatibility with other parties?
