You can even use an ESP32 or similar since it just has to perform 1 tiny function.

Getting an WT32-ETH01 knockoff dev board for 15€ or PoE for 25€ and uses <300mW with the wireless modem off. You could even just use a WiFi module for 8€ if you don’t want something wired.

There is already an wakeonlan library to generate a packet very easily.

You can even do it in pseudocode with ESPHome if you have HomeAssistant

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/solved-wake-on-lan-packet-from-esp32-to-ha-server-how-to-automate/617595

Then VPN in, send a signal to the esp using one of various methods to tell it to send the packet.

Isolated on their own vendor lock-in without IMAP maybe?

Yes but they force you to use GTK apps by default for the core apps.

They even replaced Discover with Bazaar where you can’t see certain package types (like mangohud) and have to install them manually, can’t browse by category and just get “selected” games shoved in your phase, as well as getting no update notifications and it will silently fail sometimes in the background with no notifications or messages.

And for any of the people saying “he changed”.

One of his most recent “philanthropic” ventures was to partner with Nestle (good start) to “modernize and increase yields” of the dairy industries in impoverished countries.

The two organizations then sold modern (likely non-servicable) equipment and entrenched them in corporate supply chain systems geared towards export and making it much harder to trade locally (not sure how that part worked, but was in what I read).

For a grand total of… 1% increased dairy yields.

Then 3-4 years later they pulled out, leaving heavily indebted farmers without the corporate supply chains and delivery systems they were forced to switch to, and making it very difficult to switch back to the old ways of working, so they can’t sell nearly as much locally.

Who do you think will buy up those farms when the farmers go bankrupt and have to sell ar rock bottom prices.

Because making a fighter jet is a more than a decade long undertaking with existing military industrial design, manufacturing, and test infrastructure.

Making one from scratch without the existing IP and infrastructure is an even larger and more expensive task.

It takes the cost (out-my-ass example) from 30 million per jet with a 3 year lead time, to 150 million per jet with a 15 year lead time with an unproven, likely worse, aircraft. And if they are trying to protect themselves from close neighbors’ current trajectory turning hostile, they probably don’t have 15 years.

I am split on this.

If you allow it, then you get eevblog sort of posts where there are 1000+ comments over 5 years in 50 pages that switch topics so regularly that every 2-5 pages should be entirely seperate posts and reading them because of wanting to find information on the title topic is completely useless.

On the other hand, sometimes an issue will become stale and someone will comment with an update or solution to a problem and get chastised for “necroing” and sometimes their comment with a solution deleted.

There are also tons like Italy, Czech republic, Croatia that have civil unions, but I don’t know if they respect foreign marriage.

I moved all my projects from github over to codeberg. It was a seamless transition except for having to modify some links in the readme and a submodule, but issues moved over OK as well.

There are many many kinds of laws that are fucked in Japan. Court in general is a whole other cultural world from what I hear and however unfair courts are in the west, in Japan they are even less so.

Except for small external sellers selling small things. Bol is quite expensive for those items.

A lot of small pieces cost ≥30% more on Bol without free shipping than either amazon or the seller’s website. I usually try to go to the seller directly in that case.

Mukishoes is out of portugal and they will also resole your shoes for you for cheap when the soles wear out.

They have a leather shoe that is kind of sneaker style, but oil it up with a leather conditioner and it is waterproof. I live in Belgium, so very rainy and my feet have yet to get wet in them using mink oil IIRC (Definitely buy the wool insole though because they have thin minimalist soles so it gets cold when temp dips <0)

Except not on most phones, just a small subset of old phones.

First they tried accusing her of running a child trafficking ring in Romania.

But I guess then they figured out that probably made the Guardians Of Pedophiles party like her more.

Bazzite uses BTRFS, but not snapshots I think.

Opensuse microOS flavors go all-in on full system snapshots but that means they also have a bad grub encryption unlock interface (instead of Plymouth). I have had some funky things with it like it missing keystrokes and if you get it wrong once, you have to reboot your entire system instead of just retrying.

Other OS’s use home folder snapshots only or something like that?

The different variants are not quite clear to me.

Time to DIY!

Waveshare touchscreen for pi, 1200x800 is a good price and for home assistant that is fine. $70/75 for 8inch/10.1inch version. (10.1DP-CAPLCD)

Raspberry pi 3/4/5 can mount directly on the back of it. For whatever outrageous price Pis are now. (Around here, a 4B/4GB is 60€.

Wave share PoE hat for $20

Assemble it like Lego, put it in a wooden frame or 3D print, done. Around 160 USD plus shipping for a full build of a POE battery-less touchscreen display that runs full Linux of whatever flavor. (And is quite overkill as far as power).

You could probably do it even cheaper with an orange pi zero 3 with a PoE to USB-C converter or a Banana Pi BPI-P2 Pro IoT which has PoE built in.

It is cheaper than a tablet and strips out the useless things like a battery, camera, really high DPI display, LTE radios, etc… For a simple home assistant kiosk.

But yeah, epaper displays are 3x the display cost without touchscreen. Though in my opinion, epaper is better for static non-interactive sensor display which can run on battery with an MCU for almost no power because it only has to update once an hour or so.

Placebo is a hell of a phenomenon though lol

I wished posteo allowed custom domains… They would be perfect then!

That is completely false about the states, but might be true about the specific citizens

Houston literally had the highest amount of ice raids lol.

Texas is one of the places where ice makes the most arrests lol.

But there has rarely been instances in recent history where gun nuts have used their guns against agents of the government instead of unarmed civilians. They don’t like it when they shoot back.

It’s also false

I have heard that outside of trash Samsung fridges, smeg often has some of the highest rates of failure (this was 5-10 years ago that I read that report though)
