I know, which is why it’s not going to be my primary lock.

For someone to bypass my locks, instead of breaking a window, a bunch of things have to come about and they’re all “and” statements.

First, I would have to forget to lock the door, I don’t typically forget, I just get anxiety about it and it can ruin a nice day. With the electric lock I would be content someone can’t just opportunisticly walk in.

And someone would have to want to get in my house enough to put effort into it. They’re breaking a window at this point regardless of the locks. Or they’re testing a neighbour’s door, with only one lock.

And they would have to identify that only the electric lock is active.

And they would have to have the tools/skills to break an electric lock. Along with the skills/tools to break a traditional lock (if they’re both engaged)

If any of those statements is false, I would be no worse off, or better off, with an electric lock. If they want in, they’re coming through a window.

I did think about a Yale as an auxiliary lock, but I’ve run up against it’s advantages (read: locking myself out) more than once. Also, if they can bypass the main lock, they can bypass a Yale, I figure, as it’s a similar skillset.

“All electronic locks can be hacked” is the same statement as “all tumbler locks can be picked”. I’m guessing you still use one though.

I was looking to install an electronic lock as a redundancy for the tumbler lock to decrease “have I locked the fucking door” anxiety.

The problem could be solved with Yale lock. I’d just be swapping the disadvantages of a Yale for the disadvantages of an Electric lock.

But cool automations are cool, and who doesn’t love a little over engineering?

Greens going from strength to strength. Re meda isn’t going to like it.

I listed but one example of him being a cockwomble, one you agree with, there are more.

The “what’s wrong with Clarkson” question was answered. It’s so easily answerable in fact, one would have to know nothing of the man to ask it.

Climate change denial for a start? Of course he walked it back after started to affect him personally, typical conservative really.

To ask “What’s wrong with Clarkson?” you’d have to know nothing about him.

Keep protesting genocide. Don’t murder random Jews.

Who’s setting up a lettuce stream? If lettuce streams become a tradition of unwelcome politicians I wouldn’t be mad.

We had the more family run farms when we had the inheritance tax on them.

Evidence:

In England, farms under 100 hectares have halved in number in the last 60 years, and the number of small holdings has also plummeted from around 160,000 in 1950 to less than 30,000 (2020 figure

Sames, I have a bunch of users(2) all streaming jellyfin fine over tailscale, except one house which buffers sporadically over the day. There’s no rhyme or reason to the when, or the what that needs to be buffered. As in it’ll buffer direct plays/HEVCs/AV1s, or it’ll play them fine. Some times it’ll buffer at night, sometimes during the day, sometimes neither or both. Worse, I’m getting all my information via users, so maybe theres a common thread, but they haven’t found it.

Their internet speed is fine. It could be WiFi being saturated in their area. It could be the relay being a very old rPi3 just isn’t up to it (The pi, captures their requests through Pi-Hole and proxyies their traffic over tailscale). It could be the laptop they’re using as a client isn’t up to it. Or it could be some setting somewhere.

It’s annoying whatever it is.

Not too close. My Proxmox server is basically set up, I can’t fit anything more on it, so it’s just back end and tinkering now. I’m comfortable with Proxmox.

That said, new box and a large windfall I’d have a look at Unraid. After donating to Proxmox at least that much first.

If Proxmox didn’t exist (and TTeck didn’t exist) I think I would have at least tested Unraid. I was comfy in Debian with Docker as a virtualisation host before moving to Proxmox anyways.

I’m sure it’s good, I would like to give it a go. I’m happy where I am though.

I just got it. It’s an admission that premium Duolingo wasn’t worth paying to upgrade, so they’re making free Duolingo worth paying to avoid. Except avoiding free duolingo doesn’t have to mean paying for it.

What system, designed for teaching, punishes correct answers? A capitalist one.

It was more a plea to cat owners that know their cat. The cats I know don’t tolerate cats on the street outside their house, let alone inside, plenty of people around though. I’m sure there’s exceptions, I don’t know cats well. As a rule, I think they’re intolerant of strange cats being in “their” space, less so humans. We don’t smell like cats, we don’t sound like cats, we don’t act like cats. Cats aren’t dumb (except orange ones), they know we aren’t cats (even the orange ones)

Easy test at home. Bring a strange human into your house, note the reaction. Bring a strange cat into your house, is the reaction the same? If not then cats are smart enough to mark a distinction between people and cats.

I have Reduced my car/bike usage. I’m still a hobby driver/motorcyclist but I do it less nowadays.

All my vehicles are bought second hand and will be Reused until I can’t fix them anymore. They’re both mid 00’s Hondas (car and bike) so that’s likely going to be until I run out of parts on the market.

Then they will be Recycled for scrap metal. At that point I’ll think about Reusing some other second hand car. If electric makes sense it’ll be that.

Steam could push the Stop Killing Games single handedly by allowing refunds on any game that violates it.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. Speedy could be interesting for games that used the CPU speed as a clock speed.

The LinuxServerIO peeps make fantastic images. When my server was docker only they pretty much built my homelab. I’m sure my docker hosts still have a bunch of their stuff, *arrs are probably all them.

Cleanuparr/Huntarr just got upgraded to a late-summer project.

Edit: they’ve been running a couple days now. They’re good.

I’ve been on full maintenance mode for spring/summer, those are the times to be going placed and doing things. Autumn I’m going to write my winter goals for the server.

I have another n100 box that I’m going to dedicate to immich, I have 7 users now, so when they all upload on a night my current n100 has a little bit of a cry.

Security is always a big one. I’m currently relying on tailscale (limited to necessary lxcs), reverse proxies, Https, and app ‘sign ins’. Not bad (it’s bad) but not good either.

For new projects, I want to integrate Audiobookshelf with Hardcover. I’ve got a project installed but it didn’t work on my first attempt so I gave it up for winter.

I’d like to set up a virtual DosBox, accessable by a browser, for my 1000s of dos games. Again I’ve found a few projects, none worked out of the box so have been given up for winter.

Other than that all my front end services are working well. *arrs are becoming a pain for all the malware named as good files confusing rad/sonarr. Qbit knows not to download .exes, and the like, but sonarr doesn’t know to delete them and look again. Lazylibrarian accepts no shit though, if things aren’t going as expected LL very quickly deletes and goes again. I might try vibecode a script for that.

I’d like to break out my storage into a dedicate box. Probably get some e-waste to fill with drives. Currently I have a n100 running network, storage and virtualization, it’s a little cramped.

It’s probably smarter to break out networking first, build a little router/firewall box (the above n100 mini would be perfect). But, I don’t get along with networking, I find it challenging in an unsatisfying way. When I’m done banging my head against the wall and things work I’m just relieved I don’t have to do it again, instead of feeling accomplished. New projects are fun, Storage I get the feeling of accomplishment from doing the thing. Networking is a dark art full of black boxes I don’t understand that sometimes play nice together and mostly fuck my shit up.

I want to move over to IPv6, not for any other reason than it’s probably a good idea to progress to the 2000s. If I can move everything over to Hostnames however, that’d be the dream.

Moving from Docker to Podman is probably smart.

Lots to do over winter… I’m probably gonna build a fish tank instead

Nonce: child rapist.

Refering to Trump mostly, but our Prince Andrew is also a child molestor. He’s walking free and living a life of luxury few of us will achieve.

16% so far. Tax the wealth. Stop funding the genocide. Stop throwing minorities under the bus. Stop sucking up to nonces. Improve people’s lives: we can no longer afford circuses, we can barely afford bread.
