Weight distribution is more important - many put a battery pack on the back headrest to offset the weight of the main body. Makes it a lot more comfortable for longer sessions or fast movement.

And a ;) for incognito tabs!

Where's that? Ain't on my map.

And nearby, in NZ, we have drug testing tents inside festivals to ensure you're getting what you expect, as well as advice on staying safe.

Reminds me of sosumi, a Linux util for one-click MacOS virtual machines. Sosumi also happens to be the name of the alert/error sound in early MacOS.

Not certain, but I'm guessing it's something to do with how archive.org archives. I'd say it probably captured some JavaScript which uses window.location.host, which would resolve to the original (say lemmy.nz) on the original page but web.archive.org on the snapshot.

My corpo only provides ThinkPads with Ubuntu for everyone, occasionally macbooks where required for specific applications.

1000/500 is the default in Hobbiton, but up to 8Gbps is available across most of Tue country!

Our webapp is exclusively used on locked-down windows machines, with Edge only. Firefox and Chromium are useful for debugging, but testing and signoff is done in Edge. We use Linux machines for development and test suites, so having Edge available on these systems reduced a lot of complexity in our pipeline.

Anything other than that, Firefox every time.

Constantly?

+1 for ZigBee - if cost is a factor you can get really cheap ZigBee devices from AliExpress and the like - $10 or less per temperature sensor. Z-wave requires certification for all devices supporting it, so they tend to be more expensive and more limited in variety.

Blakadder's ZigBee Repository is a great resource for verifying device compatibility with your chosen ZigBee integration - ZHA or Zigbee2mqtt. This might depend on your coordinator choice, as some (such as the Home Assistant Gen 1 usb-drive ones) only support ZHA, for example.

For a coordinator, the Home Assistant brand ones are reportedly quite good, especially the second gen one. I personally use a SMLight SLZB-06, reasonably priced and supports power over Ethernet, so I have it wall mounted centrally. I also have my home assistant instance running in a separate building, so something that works over IP was a must.

I mean, it's not an option if it's required by law. As to your second point, I have seen news articles talking about "sponsored recommendations", but nothing as blatant as tv/radio ads. https://www.stuff.co.nz/...

Direct-to-garment - here's a 15 year old article I picked at random https://hackaday.com/2010/06/06/how-to-diydtg/

Opnsense is great, I run it on a N100 mini pc I got from AliExpress for a couple hundred NZD. Doesn't break a sweat up to 8gbit

I've got this one in my calendar already, and have organised preliminary accommodation!

Sounds like you've done a bunch of research! Since you're using unRAID, setting up your services shouldn't be too difficult.

For your torrents and VPN, there's a few in the unRAID community store - I'd recommend qBittorrentVPN from Binhex - here's the documentation for setting up their VPN-enabled containers.

For Headscale, I don't have any direct experience but unRAID has a decent Wireguard plugin, and should get you up and running in a pinch.

And for your self-hosted services (especially Bitwarden) ensure you're not exposing this on the net, by VPN is the only option I'd recommend. Even so, I prefer to use Bitwarden's hosting with a family plan, for peace of mind and resiliency. It's also much easier for my family.

UnRAID is a great place to start - it allows you to scale cheaply as you need and is easier to fix mistakes. Good luck, and happy homelabbing!

Goodbye

Also see this on my 20.04 LTS servers.

This album and article were released in 2021, no?

For me, the secondhand embarrassment is too much. Love Silicon Valley though!
