I also bet a smaller, less powerful smartphone with 3.5 mm would sell like hot cakes.

But for people who'd reach the max 26 km/hour, if they'd need better brakes, then if they reach such speed manually (going downwards, for example) would suggest my current brakes aren't adequate either. But I'm not interested in going from to 20 km/hour ASAP. I am interested in getting a little of help at 0 km/hour going forward. After that, the electric part can go off for all I care.

It has three wheels. Two smaller ones at front, one back. As such, I'd prefer to install the motor on the back. We do have that speed limit of 26 km/hour (my current e-bike has it as well), but since more force is required, the kit would need to know this as well.

I got it second hand, same as my e-bike. Otherwise, these aren't affordable for me. 6k EUR for a cargo e-bike is just insane IMO.

I'm not in the market for this, but I am in the market for making my cargo bike electric. Having to slow down at a traffic light and then start from zero absolutely sucks. It goes very slow, it is rough, and you won't have time. I'd use it just for that specific use-case.

The external influences are documented. We know the Russians meddled with elections in The Netherlands (the 2016 Ukraine referendum), Romania (recently), Brexit, Trump 2016 (via the Clinton hack), 2020, and 2024, and likely also Hungary. In regards to Romania, yes the elections were repeated. That thing tends to happen when elections are fraudulent.

> Fortunately in this case of Brazilian elections, there is nothing secret about the list of accounts which have been limited. The censors are very open about who has their account limited and why (all political candidates during elections).

Because it is about a local law regarding airtime. A law Musk doesn't respect. But because now it requires an active action of the mark to get into a propaganda tarpit, instead of the timeline, it is a reasonable deterrent.

Not if you consider the context of external influence, e.g. [1], and not wanting a Jan 6 in Brazil. Not letting such know their efforts are ineffective, is a tool to combat their effort. It is akin to shadowbanning.

Amplification of radical right by external entities is nothing new, btw. Russia did this in 2016. Musk does it now. But Musk won't show those parts of his machine. He still does shadowbanning, too.

I would certainly not, as it is most likely propagandists; these aren't interesting.

But either way, the purpose of this is to protect democracy, and by mentioning the very accounts, this could have a Streisand effect. That by itself is influencing the election, and Musk knows this. That is the purpose of his action. Musk does the same with regards to other democracies, such as AfD in Germany.

Now, VNC might actually also work very well over WireGuard or SDN based on WireGuard. Since VNC was designed for LAN, in a time where LAN was the common use case.

For me, low latency is from the past. I always got either wired, Wi-Fi, LTE, or Starlink.

I haven't decided yet if I want to use NFS to malware my configs, or git. I think git is more flexible, but I don't want my configs in a public git.

Either way, I use atuin a lot, and before that history | fzf. Which is bound to ctrl+r for me. But again... not by default.

I alias'ed it to please as well. But because I use fish, I had to do this: alias please 'sudo (history -1)'

If I was a scammer, I'd target people who were rich, and the elder. I would use leaked datasets to find these people. And then I wouldn't give up after I failed once, but guards are up if a scam failed, so seems not useful to retry.

But honestly, those scammers you mention seem low hanging fruit.

Yes, you could forward an Android call to Asterisk server and use STT (Voxstral has real-time module), LLM, and TTS to generate a reply. But I think the added latency is going to be problematic.

I wish you all the best, I hate marketing, but I hate liars even more.

NVMe with PLP is suffice.

The same helps me on my NAS as well, with ZFS and Linux. No need for OpenBSD.

Soft updates was very cool when I first used it, like 25 years ago. Linux didn't have Ext3FS yet, or just about got it. ZFS also worked very early on FreeBSD, but nowadays the standard is OpenZFS.

There's a couple of cool things coming from OpenBSD camp, most notably OpenSSH and PF.

A 'smart' doorbell [meta: I hate this terminology, and will just call it 'doorbell camera' for the rest of this post] needs electricity in order to do the very same, but it also serves another purpose: record (via camera and microphone, and sometimes other sensors ie. IR camera). This recording of data can be stored, analyzed, etc. For example, you can perform ML on the feed to detect dogs, you can do data analysis on it for example when postal service usually arrives, you can record postal service stows packages away in the premises, etc. In order for it to be analyzed, it needs networking capabilities (wired, or wireless). Doorbells need to be serviceable, so they can typically be dismantled from the outside. Wired and wireless can both be MITM'ed, and DoS'ed. If that happens, you want the feed to be recorded as much as possible, in order to record the attacker. You also want to secure your feed. In order to MITM or DoS a wired doorbell, physical access is required which is why a wired doorbell is superior IMO.

There's no need for your camera to have internet access. Some ports have to be accessible from your NVR; that's it: you need to be able to update the firmware (e.g. to protect against vulnerabilities such as KRACK), and you need to be able to record your stream (e.g. access the RTSP stream). A speaker or screen can be useful to communicate with a visitor. Your NVR can manage all of this, and so can you (usually via a reverse proxy with internet access, but we shouldn't neglect authentication here). The doorbell camera itself doesn't need such. It does, however, need some form of networking capabilities.

So what I do: apart from having it in a separate VLAN, I record my feed, and immediately store it locally (on-prem) and remotely (via adequate internet access; in my case, not in cloud). However, my doorbell camera is connected via Wi-Fi. This is where the story e

Just imagine, there was a person on #debian reading and taking a dump.

Just to reiterate: book good, e-reader bad. Phone good, smartphone bad. Scanning through a physical magazine good, doomscrolling TikTok bad.

Except it is about focused vs. diffuse mode of brain, and usually people underappreciate the latter. E.g. walking during a lunch break, thereby getting inspiration for work, is working. The same can be true for taking a shower, sporting, staring outside at the landscape or stars, or meditating. It will also empower your focused mode later on. And, the author's point seems to be a toilet break is a decent opportunity for this. I agree. On my previous job, I regularly sat for 10-15 min in late morning, and it inspired me. But you cannot force people to not take a device with them to toilet. I mean, unless you're working for NSA or something. Don't judge such, look at total performance / efficiency per hour instead. Or per USD spend on the employee.

As a former smoker, this is also what I appreciated about having a fag (in a time before smartphone and vape were common). Some missed the socializing. I hated that part. It seemed to be more like FOMO on gossip, little substance.
