That’s exactly what the author does towards the end.

You can do that, except nobody would use it.

Did you look into Scrypted? It is OSS. With HomeKit (which is how I use it) it is also E2EE. I’m not sure if their app is E2EE though, I only use HomeKit.

It’s pretty good and has an extensive ecosystem. The dev can be a bit… feisty though.

It’s very performant and easy to setup. I don’t use the NVR features as I already have an NVR, I essentially just use it for HomeKit integration of my cameras + doorbell.

Sometimes they work great and sometimes.. not so great. They definitely need some work.

I haven’t found them particularly useful but I also don’t get bombarded with notifications.

Is it a case of not dreaming, or rather not remembering the dreams?

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around..

As much as anyone can say otherwise, running Linux isn’t just a breeze. You will run into issues at some point, you will possibly have to make certain sacrifices regarding software or other choices. Yes it has gotten so much better over the past few years but I want my time spent on my work, not toying with the OS.

Another big selling point of Apple is the hardware. Their hardware and software are integrated so seamlessly. Things just work, and they work well. 99% of the time - there’s always edge cases.

There’s solutions to running Linux distros on some Apple hardware but again you have to make sacrifices.

It also works when using Spotify Connect on your iOS device. If you can use your volume buttons to control it you can also adjust it with the slider in the control centre.

It’s pretty crazy the technology that’s out there that we’ll never see / experience without working some high-level gov job.

EthicalSimilar — Tue, 04 Jun 2024 16:29:10 +0000

I use modified IPAs of any apps that serve me ads. It’s always weird when I use / see these apps on others devices and notice the amount of ads that get chucked at them.

This is the way. I also use this method and change weekly. It’s pretty efficient, especially for larger duvets.

I’ve been using macOS as my primary development environment for the past ~4 years and have loved every minute of it. I haven’t run into any of the issues you’ve mentioned thankfully, and docker works absolutely fine for my use cases. I can’t see myself ever switching for any reason.

> If your password is incorrect, it checks again with the case swapped to account for caps lock being on.

I love this idea, going to add this to future projects.

Yes, it works fine. As mentioned below just pass an asynchronous function and it’ll catch it.
