there was a recent article here on Lenny taking about how AI

Funny you’d mention Lenny, he’s also a bot! A good one though!

God’s will apparently.

Other apps than what?

You can start Firefox without the --no-remote flag. And it would allow external processes to open links.

My Xerox works way better than on osx.

You need the mount point not the device. Probably something like /media/Files

You can still select just those packages out of their repos. Obviously that can get tedious if there are a lot of them. But that’s pretty rare and at that point it’s worth asking, is that software really worth it? Is there a better installation method? Could it live in a cheoot/container?

But that’s not just in the Apt world, any system wide install would behave like that.

sudo chown -R youruser:youruser /path/to/mountpoint

Will make all the files in the path owned by you. Be careful if you have more complex permissions on there they will be lost.

It does not block proper updates. You might be thinking of held packages that’s not the same thing at all. It isn’t hard to figure out what you want to pin, you can just pin a hole third party repository at -1 except the specific package(s) you want to install and then there’s no chance of that repository overriding a package from the distro’s repository.

You know you can prevent that with proper apt pinning right?

I’ve not seen a single ZigBee keypad. Some WiFi ones but that’s trickier to get working without the cloud. There are also no generic ZigBee tuya keypad listed on the Z2M device list, which leads me to believe there isn’t any I have missed.

Ah you just meant “things” not keypads. I was asking specifically about keypads.

Yeah I have a ton of generic tuya ZigBee devices, they work great. So far only real complaint is bulbs that act as repeaters, they really shouldn’t since they can be turned off at the switch.

I have some of the Xfinity keypads, bit of a pain to setup but they work well.

What are the brands to look for in Ali? I’ve never really seen anything.

The company extracts a profit, technically if they came out even they still wouldn’t need to close.

Min-maxing one’s own productivity is truly the only power the wage slave has in his pocket.

Also, your performance should (in most cases) lead to raises to your salary.

We all know that is 100% not how things work.

You’re simping for the boss, typical HR.

It’s been proven time and time again that being good and fair to your employees leads to more productivity.

That still only benefits the company. In capitalism my productivity is truly the only variable I control. The more productive I am the more value is extracted from me to the company/shareholders. Yet nothing is gained from me except exhaustion.

Whether it be apache2 or nhinx, the root directory is literally one line to change in the config file.

I worry that means that someone can connect to my computer directly.

That’s how torrents work. Everytime you’re downloading so.ething you’re connecting to other people’s computers and letting other people connect to yours.

Torrents are P2P. You are downloading from other people who are seeding. If no one seeds, there’s nothing to download. Simple as that. Etiquette dictates you should seed more than you download to ensure the network stays lively.

SSL certs is so easy with let’s encrypt, that really shouldn’t be a blocker.

If you want something easy I think you have your answer with Signal
