I recently came across gdu (1) and have installed/used it on every machine since then.

Which in the case of yt-dlp might not be fast enough.

I use a telegram/mqtt/homeassistant wrapper (1) to let my mother download audiobooks which are saved in jellyfin so she can listen or download them from my (home)server.

Keeping yt-dlp up2date (and therefore) working is not that easy, especially since I dont systemupdate every other week. There were a few phases yt-dlp version in nixpkgs-unstable were just not working. I created a little wrapper that updates a venv so I always have the HEAD running for my bot.

I guess you just send newlines as in multiple messages and disable flood protection on the server or whitelist your bot.

> sauerkraut

It’s basically a secret weapon when it comes to dog care. If your dog has eaten something hard to digest (like a toy or a bone), feed them a serving of sauerkraut, and most dogs will need to go outside 10 minutes later and everything will come out.

If so they are not good in mentioning this.

I think this is a software guy who occasionally dips into hardware things (to hunt bugs).

The fact that someone had a negative reaction to an overdose has nothing to do with how (properly dosed) THC/CBD affects unhealthy (and healthy) people.

Many substances can be overdosed on, even though they may not be harmful - or may even be beneficial - in appropriate amounts.

I just checked my Awair Element data for today at home - its true; the average is about ~900ppm with high/low peaks around 1600/500.

I live with 3 dogs and was alone the entire day.

For the interested, here is the graph for a year: https://i.imgur.com/mrXI3y1.png

No issues but I bought my last one like 2022 and didn't need to replace any of them.

My first hue led is from around 2015 and is still working perfectly fine.

Every other low quality led I bought around that time or even later is long dead by now. I disagree

Besides the epilepsy, what do you mean with "bad for dogs?"

Sidenote: My partner and me both "feel" the difference of cheap LEDs. Its not something we can pinpoint down, but it got way better with hue lights.

We live with multiple dogs and iam really curious. One of the dogs that we often had around had severe epilepsy that very strong medication was needed and the dog died anyways way to early around the age of 2. She had less sizures than in her original home when she was with us which ofcourse might be unrelated to the lighting. But your thought is interesting.

2025 I switched to nixos and will probably stay. I used gentoo for like 20 years. Its the distro of my heart.

With some notebooks, some of which were getting on in years, it was simply too resource-intensive to update. Only GHC, for example, often took 12+ hours to compile on some older notebooks.

Its also wrong. With 10 hours of helldivers 2 you havent seen much of the game at all.

I played it a bit after release and have 230 hours. I liked the game and it was worth my money.
