Nah HA is defs what I want. I agree it's terrible software. All the more motivation for me to try throw AI at it. If the docs were better I'd just grind the docs instead it would probably be ahead, but the HA docs suck almost as bad as the code - which may have something to do with why the AIs are sucking now that I think about it ..

Right now I'm trying to get an AI (actually two ChatGPT and Grok) to write me a simple HomeAssistant integration that blinks a virtual light on and off driven by a random boolean virtual sensor. I just started using HomeAssistant and don't know it well. +2H and a few iterations in, still doesn't work. Winning.

Need to combine this with LVM or BTRFS or similar to be a true snapshot. Rsnapshot supports LVM snapshot pretty good.

I feel like apparmor is getting there, very, very slowly. Just need every package to come with a declarative profile or fallback to a strict default profile.

And most CS grads forget all that after a few years because it's not relevant to what they're actually doing.

How's your day been?

I'm noticing more of these race baiting comments on YC too lately. AI?

Ansible. Same reasons but 100x worse.

AFAIK Wifi Direct has quite wide hardware support -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Direct. But few people know about it?

Might not be how it appears. The CVE number can be reserved by the org and then "published" with only minimal info, then later update with full details. Looking at the meta data that's probably what happened here (not entirely sure what the update was though):

    {
    "cveId": "CVE-2025-14847",
    "assignerOrgId": "a39b4221-9bd0-4244-95fc-f3e2e07f1deb",
    "state": "PUBLISHED",
    "assignerShortName": "mongodb",
    "dateReserved": "2025-12-17T18:56:21.301Z",
    "datePublished": "2025-12-19T11:00:22.465Z",
    "dateUpdated": "2025-12-29T23:20:23.813Z"
    }

Cool, I get to call my Youtube, TikTok addiction my "intellectual crack" now. Only fair.

I concur the question, "Who would have an incentive to spend resources on DDoS'ing Codeberg?" is a bit convoluted in mixing incentive and resources. But it's still, exactly, threat analysis, just not very useful threat analysis.

Actually I think that's roughly how threat analysis works though.

> It would be cool to have something like this ..

Aren't LLMs something like this?

https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards (Kibana fork) is one. But Grafana is still way better if you just stay away from anything that isn't the core product: data visualization and exploration (explorer and traces).

Talk about a coup against reality. Pay the man his due. Tesla produce very competitive EVs. He has been instrumental in the success of SpaceX and Tesla.

NSW ~ 30.2 sheep / sq km.

Tasmania doesn't do much sheep farming. They are more into salmon. Maybe you were making a derogatory reference to the local human population? Fair enough.

Yeah, I just don't really consider sitting on you fat butt and collecting rent a "gig". That's called rent seeking, or a scam.

Owning and renting a vacation accommodation is gig economy? Those poor renting seeking plebs.

Yeah I hear you. It would be de-stigmatizing if more people with mean were voluntarily "homeless" like the Leatherman. But people just wanna watch Netflix I guess.

Why? Stay strong my friend.

Article:

> This is frankly a really good phishing email ... This is a 10/10 phishing email ..

Phishing email:

> As part of our on going commitment to account security, we are requesting that all users update their Two-Factor-Authentication (2FA) credentials ...

What does that even mean? What type of 2FA needs updating? One 2FA method supported is OTP. Can't see a reason that would legitimately ever need to be updated, so doesn't really pass the sniff test that every single user would need to "update 2FA".

SPF isn't bullshit, it just measure one specific thing, not everything. AFAIK most sunscreens also list expected hours of protection and whether they are water resistant or not.

> It's also possible that there's a process issue at the manufacturers, and the quality of different lots can vary

If you read the article, that variable test result was provided by Ultra Violette themselves. Choice tested it three times with three different independent testers and got results of 4,5,5. It's possible Ultra Violette is just trying to muddy the waters here.

I'd love some examples of specific pages.
