Remember that once you give the password out, they likely have the password from now on. They will always have access until you change the password.
No, a lot of local traffic is not encrypted, especially residential. No, residential probably doesn’t use much authentication or separation of privileges.
Yeah, if we focus on high value items, it becomes much simpler. But what if there’s a disaster like a fire? One shirt is too cheap to worry about but having to replace all your clothes is expensive, so what’s a practical way to inventory that?
Looking at my home automation stuff, really the only expensive thing is my smart thermostat and it’s nit that expensive. However all the devices add up to several thousand dollars.
Maybe there’s a sense of type and volume or something, and video or photos, that would be sufficient to inventory everyday stuff
Actually, I’d also wonder how far insurance “replacement value” stretches. So many things I got on close out deals where the nearest remaining similar brand is several time the price
I wonder if something like a picture or video is sufficient to inventory quantities and general cost, such as clothes. The number of t-shirts I have changed over time, but a week worth of Carhartt adds up
Seems like a lot of pluses
I’ve been wondering about that, since my Firestick became so shitty that I actually prefer streaming apps on my TV. Most of my devices are already on Apple, so how about this one?
So, on the home screen, can you tell which Videos are to purchase without clicking into them? Are things you subscribe to easily distinguishable from god forsaken ad infested ones?
Then you get “Kia Boys” videos. A simple mechanical key really has not been sufficient for over a decade
As does my fire stick, and even my Vizio smart TV … all except the Apple Arcade
I’ve bent thinking about moving in the other direction. I try to avoid privacy abuse of the SmartTV and Fire Stick is being enshittified, so what should I use? AppleTV seems interesting to try plus games may be fun
If it’s been a while since you checked, it’s worth checking again. RPi has been becoming more available over the last month or two, and I was able to get one of the new RPi 5!
Someone put together a great locator tool
They look like they’re back, and at non-scalping prices
Of course I’m still waiting for my rpi5, pre-ordered in October for a No pvember delivery
I have been trying to do bonds with USB adapters
– If you’re doing it for performance, you should compare a low end 2.5gE switch and cards to all that complexity. Higher performance, simpler, more reliable
– if it’s to learn about bonding, consider how many you need and whether doing the same thing multiple times is a benefit
– if it’s for redundancy/reliability, I don’t think this is going to work. My plan is to build a cluster of single board computers and do everything in containers. Keep the apps portable and the hardware replaceable
Apple keychain. Supposedly secure, extremely convenient, may be in the Cloud but not centralized - can’t lose everyone’s credentials at once.
The plug-in for Windows works pretty well too, although I wonder if that puts my confidential data at more risk
For me, the pi 4 4GB had been the sweet spot, however they’re saying pi 5 is roughly twice as fast, so I’m expecting 8GB to be the sweet spot
Pi 4 running Home Assistant.
A second one sitting in a box meant to be the first of a cluster, until they disapeared
Have you checked recently? According to the rPi locator, they’re starting to be available again
It’s working for me now. I guess it’s been a full day so they’d better be back up. I didn’t notice an outage yesterday but was not around most of the day to listen to music
I’ll also second the poster who suggested streaming an alternate way. I find the Spotify app a more convenient way to stream over Sonos than the Sonos app, and that might have worked.
A second Pi? According to the RPI Locator, Raspberry Pi’s are available for list price now.
My use case is a bit different in that I don’t know what containerized services I want to run, except that I want to play with Kubernetes. Raspberry Pi still seems like a good choice and I may restart that project soon
