Well, my vacuum robot is integrated into home assistant, but I use valetudo so it’s only connected to local WiFi. Air quality graphs I also have but also connected via zinger so I don’t broadcast my data and don’t have any holes in my system that I’m not responyfor and can’t patch.

I mean that’s a really cool hack, but why in the world would a humidifier need a cloud connection?!?

It depends, but for me one use case is decoupling the end device from the application. We have laptops, desktops and phones in our household and rather than installing/updating every single one of them I have a central point for management, with all of the downsides of course (if the thing fails, it fails for all).

When I add a new machine to the network, every functionality an data is already there so I don’t need to copy or install anything everywhere.

I use vaultwarden/bitwarden but I’ll check it out.

Do you guys not have phones - energy

Or - and this is a wild theory - just cripple the ones using a-series chips and keep the m-series the same but charge more.

Have you tried scribus?

This is the most terrifying thing I’ve read all week…

Oh for fucks sake… I wanted to expand my NAS… Crypto was (is still responsible) for the shit state of the GPU Market and now it’s the next scam.

Insupportable this wholeheartedly. Stadiums are normally named after people who have passed on, right?

I hope they’re not using dihydrogen monoxide for this. Literally anyone that consumes it dies.

In can still hear the voice of Jonathan Davis saying “Max Payne” in a Russian accent

Tried using GIMP and Gimpshop (I don’t know if it’s still a thing) and never really got warm with it. Not for a lack of trying. I just use Affinity designer 2 and Photo 2 along with Inkscape (from which GIMP could learn a thing or two in terms of usability IMO).

I have affinity designer 2 and photo 2. It does everything I need (except for bitmap tracing, for which I use Inkscape). I won’t be bothering with anything else in this respect as I’m used to working with the tools I have . Also I don’t need the AI stuff so it’s a hard pass. Bummer on the acquisition though…

I recommend Lula, the sexy empire.

Finally a company with great service and ethical standards!

Same thing. It has to be barely thick enough to stop a predefined caliber weapon. And made of the cheapest possible material that still makes the armored vehicle mobile. Equipping armies is kind of expensive.

It generally means the cheapest option with the simplest possible operation that does the job well enough.

I don’t think so. My kid likes the stories though :)
