I’m not sure if they’re available with UK plugs, but I’ve got a pack of Thirdreality Zigbee plugs that monitor energy use and have a button on them to toggle power.
I’ve got them connected to Home Assistant. Two do a bit of climate control in a coldroom, the others are for occupancy lighting.
Oh yes, your pay-to-win government duopoly isn’t helping anything, but don’t call it impossible. The Affordable Care Act was a start, and I don’t doubt the right people could make universal healthcare access a real thing in the US.
Oh, I agree it won’t be easy, particularly when taking profits from rich people.
I’ve heard it likened to a house full of asbestos. Knock it all down and there’s likely to be collateral damage, but meticulously taking it apart will take a considerable amount of time. I feel it would be easiest for governments to purchase the insurance companies, then slowly amalgamate so it’s all one network open to everyone.
Also it’s a bit entertaining when someone opposes it because “it’s socialism”. It’s already socialism, you just have middlemen skimming profit off the top while providing little value.
Hey guys, many other countries have figured out that healthcare doesn’t have to be a privatized, for-profit nightmare. Perhaps that’s an option worth exploring.
The asterism gives me big Splinter Cell vibes and I’m definitely OK with that.
Hmm, I’ve found it quite noticeable. Perhaps turn an FPS counter on and see what it’s actually running at. If you have a game showing on both screens, it’ll likely limit the fps to suit the lowest display hz.
If the two are beside eachother, you’ll definitely see the difference.
Yeah I usually just follow the “try another instance” links until one works.
I’ve noticed Invidious instances having trouble recently as well. I’m sure they’re not dead though, just need to get the next mouse for the endless cat and mouse game.
Bicycles can’t or vehicles can’t? There’s a vast difference in weight and I imagine most wouldn’t even notice.
Sounds to me like more of a reason why we should.
On what grounds? Surely no one with a regular job would sign a contract prohibiting them from discussing the details of their employment.
Why would we be sued? It’s definitely not illegal here in Canada to discuss your employment details.
That’s their point, they don’t get a corresponding discount for using cash.
I’m definitely not a network pro, but it sounds like you’re looking to do something similar to what I have.
I’ve got nginx proxy manager as my reverse proxy with pi-hole for local DNS. All traffic goes through the pi-hole and anything going to mydomain.com has DNS entries pointing to nginx. I’ve set nginx up so service.lan.mydomain.com is for anything local and just service.mydomain.com for anything external with wildcard SSL certs for both (*.domain doesn’t seem to cover *.lan.domain so add certs for both - probably because it’s a sub-subdomain).
The Cloudflare tunnel can then just get directed to service.mydomain.com instead of the IP of the service.
I didn’t ponder it when setting the cameras up, but after writing these posts I was planning to do just that when I’m back at home.
Yeah and it’s not clear where Perplexity pulled that part from.
Intriguing question, I was curious if there were actually options, so asked Perplexity (ai search that provides sources, see link at bottom). Unfortunately, nothing terribly definitive other than Italy, possibly.
While truly anonymous genetic testing is challenging, there are some options outside the US that aim to provide more privacy-focused services:
- In Canada, the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act prohibits anyone from collecting, using, or disclosing genetic test results without written consent. This gives Canadians more control over their genetic information
- Some European companies offer more privacy-oriented testing options. For example, DANTE Labs in Italy emphasizes data protection and allows customers to delete their data at any time
- In the UK, Genomics England runs the 100,000 Genomes Project with strict privacy controls. While not a consumer service, it demonstrates stronger privacy practices.
- Australian company myDNA focuses on pharmacogenomics testing with an emphasis on data privacy and security.
- Swiss company Gene By Gene offers DNA testing with data storage in Switzerland, known for strong privacy laws. However, it’s important to note that no genetic test can be truly anonymous, as DNA is inherently identifiable. To maximize privacy:
- Use a pseudonym and temporary email when ordering
- Pay with a prepaid card
- Avoid linking results to other accounts or sharing on social media
- Carefully read privacy policies and opt out of research/data sharing where possible
Ultimately, genetic privacy requires careful consideration of the risks and benefits, regardless of the testing company’s location.
Yep, Reolink cams can be fully local only and still work fine.
This is quite important with Immich. They’re good at documenting their breaking changes, just gotta make sure you check the changelog before updating. Also best to avoid auto updating with Watchtower or similar to avoid surprises.
