Wow, it’s pretty wild they didn’t even attempt to encrypt or protect this data, even if it is local to your machine. What a treasure trove for malware to sift through.

A new deal is being forged with 4chan instead.
The author had so many things to highlight that they didn’t even mention “as of August 2024” being in the future, haha.
What a trainwreck. The fact it’s giving anonymous Reddit comments and The Onion articles equal consideration with other sites is hilarious. If they’re going to keep this, they need it to cite its sources at a bare minimum. Can’t wait for this AI investor hype to die down.
Uh oh!
And imagine being the guy who’s got to clean out the train car afterwards of all the tiny pieces. Nightmare fuel.
Where this game shines is in storytelling and art. I thoroughly enjoyed it and rate it very highly, but I also really enjoy the walking simulator genre. It’s the perfect game to chill out and play on the big screen over an evening or two, very watchable for spectators too.
I don’t know about you, but if I must leak my private data like a sieve to use the internet, I’d much rather that data go to a government that isn’t governing me!
Would love to see the same tests with an adblocker installed.

A programmer sitting in front of a text-based IDE with millions of keyboard shortcuts at their disposal has to be the least necessary use case for a voice assistant I’ve ever heard of.
It’s a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries split system. The two options I had were an IR blaster or a DIY ESPhome-based module plugged directly into the unit that controls it over the SPI bus. I opted for the latter as it gives full status info in addition to control.
I’ve also got a Samsung unit in another room that I can control. For that one I use SmartThings… not ideal as it goes through the cloud, but I’ll take what I can get.
If you’ve got an old-school heater, you might have luck with some of the smart thermostats designed to be retrofitted into old houses.
Edit: just looked up your heaters online. Since you’ve got a lot of them, and they look pretty old, I’m guessing the smart controllers are just acting as relays. So yeah perhaps an ESP32 relay module would be the way to go! Once you’ve got the code working for one, you could roll them out to the rest. You’d need some confidence working with relays and electronics of course.
The simplest automations are the best. An hour before I typically get up, if the bedroom is too cold, turn on the heater.
Slight tangent, but I recently cleaned out the house of a parent after they passed away. There were boxes and boxes of family photo albums. We kept them for a while out of guilt, but we really didn’t know anyone in the photos aside from one or two people. Eventually we got rid of them. Point being the value of your stuff is probably far less to others then it is to you, especially photos to future generations.
Very reassuring to see how quickly the security issues were resolved, awesome work Home Assistant!
That’s an antitrust case if ever I saw one.
Yeah I’m really surprised they didn’t go with a laptop screen rather than a monitor designed to be left in a fixed place! Whoever’s first to market with a good laptop e-ink display is going to rake it in.
I’m confused why the IP address of a resource is changing for you when you’re moving in/out of the wireguard tunnel? In my setup the LAN IP addresses always stay the same whether I’m on the local network or accessing remotely, It’s just the route to them that changes (over a different ethernet adapter). Perhaps that’s what you meant, or there’s some crazy configs out there I’m unaware of.
Q. How do you know an open source project is written in Rust?
A. Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.
Is it? I skimmed the GitHub source code and couldn’t see anything involving encryption, but it’s totally possible I missed something. Perhaps just accessing the database from python is enough to decrypt it.
