Well the correct answer is February based on 02月 but I don’t know where -tember came from.

I really don’t understand how it’s just me though. One MultiSensor 7 completely fell off the network, requiring a factory reset. After factory resetting supposedly I’m supposed to tap the button to get a solid yellow for inclusion, but after two factory resets tapping it once is a solid green.
It really feels like this is just garbage, backward technology.
I didn’t realize that — kind of dumb it was US-only when the instance TLD is .world
. 🤦♂️
I’m in an urban environment where I’m surrounded by people using crappy ISP-supplied routers set to broadcast 2.4 GHz at maximum power.
Personally I use a Ubiquiti U6-Pro with bandwidth steering to 5 GHz because the 2.4 GHz side is just trash (even with nightly channel optimization). I’d love to simply shut off 2.4 GHz but a lot of IoT insists on using it (god knows why).
As far as the Z-Wave controller, it’s an Aeotec 5th generation Z-Stick but no, I’m not using a USB extension. I’m in a tiny apartment with the Raspberry Pi 4 it’s plugged into in the middle of the apartment. I’ve only got four sensors using Z-Wave but it’s always been horribly unreliable.
For what it’s worth, about once per year the Philips hue lights just fall off and I end up factory resetting those too (I always mistakenly try to change the Zigbee channel when they’ve already disappeared).
I’ve got Philips hue lights that use Zigbee but I thought it also tried to hog 2.4 GHz spectrum; though I’m more open to it as of late considering my horrible luck with Z-Wave.
In high school while studying Katakana one of the coolest things was having a dream of walking around Tokyo and reading the Katakana everywhere.
I’m married to a Mexican but I enjoyed learning Spanish in school (in the Midwest); later in life after moving to Los Angeles I started using Spanish quite a bit.
If I can nudge you to try learning it, you might end up enjoying it. I’m crazy busy with work too but I’ve started learning Mandarin online with a tutor and after a bit of a learning curve, it’s deeply satisfying when things start to click.
Outside Lemmy I use Apple News and what I kind of hate about it is even while traveling abroad you’re stuck with US news. I have both English and Spanish languages set up on iOS so being in a Spanish-speaking country, it would be nice to see local news in either language.
I may just go the Aqara route, I gave Z-Wave a shot and wished it were better but I’m really burned out.
The thing I’ll miss is air temperature — I have electric space heaters that are dependent on that. Currently I have a handful of Aeotec MultiSensor 7 that handle that.
I prefer the original too. It’s like the macOS boot sound and Apple trying to get rid of it — it’s too much of a classic.
I like the “ransomware scumbag” language but at the same time, it feels like companies only give a shit about security after an incident.
Counterpoint: I rarely see non-US news posted. I do from time to time here on Lemmy, but it’s very rare.
I might just be in the wrong communities though.
What I hate is I love encrypting my flash drives but every OS prompts you to wipe the drive if it doesn’t recognize the encryption scheme of another. 👎
The problem is I need Unbound to send queries via one network interface (the VPN) while the specific zone needs to be routed through another.
I know what split tunneling is, but I have my routing set up exactly as I’d like.
The issue here is that Unbound seems unable to send queries to one forwarding zone using a specific interface/IP address and sending queries to a second forwarding zone using a completely different interface/IP address.
I’m almost at the point where I want to create a virtual interface that just has rules that say “if going to 192.168.143.1
use /dev/tailscale0
” and then have a default route to /dev/wg0
.
I’m not a professional but my current Tailscale + VPN setup has been extremely nice for the past year.
Not sure what the original point was but curiously I happened to use file
on a an Apple .numbers
file recently and found that it was a .zip
file in disguise with zero compression.
So maybe the point was that it’s used often as a container format more often than it’s used for compression? Just my (unrelated) general computer work would also suggest this.
Never understood all the hate. Sometimes I actually crave that weird-ass flavor.
Personally speaking, I’ve never been a fan of this method because to the hosting web server it was still fetched. That might confirm that an email address exists or (mistakenly) confirm that the user did in fact follow the link (or load the resource).
I have ad and tracking blocked like crazy (using DNS) so I can’t follow most links in emails anyway. External assets aren’t loaded either, but this method basically circumvents that (which I hate).
They need to switch to Webauthn. SMS-based 2FA should’ve been big 10+ years ago, not today. I don’t really understand why this old style 2FA has been just now becoming popular lately.
