> Unfortunately no other home automation platform (Google, Amazon) lets you keep everything on your local network

Exactly the reason I keep dealing with HomeKit annoyances.

To me, that's an experience I only have with AirPods Max, Pros totally fail to achieve that.

Apple's stuff _always_ have issues and annoying ones. My Homepod stopped seeing any HomeKit devices. Reboot didn't help. I didn't feel like digging into it so I just went to bed. Couple days later out of all a sudden they start seeing stuff again.

AirPods Max _often_ just work. Anything else involves manual switching almost every time.

Same in Java. People final the hell out of _local_ variables.

For you it is Fastmail then, they are awesome and integrate with 1Password for an-email-per-service thing (known as Hide My Email in Apple's world)

I think what they want is censorship resistant mesh network that wouldn't require first seeding from known addresses like I2P does and most of the others too.

Alternatively you can use Fastmail but I recentely moved from it to iCloud for consolidation purposes. Don’t get me wrong, Fastmail is absolutely awesome and I had great experience, I just wanted to consolidate.

Just use iCloud. It allows you to setup custom domains no worries and give emails to everyone who’s included into your family plan. I’ve got two custom domains setup that I share with my wife.

Are they stupid or something? Are those money worth reputation loss? Sometimes it seems as if there are malicious actors in Google that are set on taking it down from the inside.

I have a Synology router and two base stations for it. This one - https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/RT2600ac is the router and those two as base stations: https://www.synology.com/en-au/products/MR2200ac. The router connected to the bases via ethernet cable, this ethernet cable almost hits a gigabit and wifi speed on my mac, inside the network, is about 800 megabits to the router.

The cost of the router and two stations was about the same as for router and one station of various hyped products.

It has got lots of smarts, VPN server, DNS server, highly configurable and you can opt in into Synology cloud with DDNS and connection to home network using their stuff. There’s security monitor, something akin to fail2ban, etc.

Additionally I have a Synology NAS that serves as a server using docker and as media station using Emby package. Additionally my old thinkpad laptop serves as a build agent for Drone CI primary that is running in docker on the NAS.

Everything else connects to internet and home network via WiFi, 800 megabits seems plenty for everything I want to do.

I am not affiliated with Synology, just a happy user that finds that everything I need to work, simply works.

I just hope Apple's password management will finally catch up by the time 1Password goes to toilet.

Wanna me to kill the neighbours that won't let you sleep?

Vow, for a rare occasion that one translates rather nicely.

Same thing, my first reaction was "oh my god, no, please no" and I rushed to see if he's alive.

I used to work for a Swedish telecom and observed a Swedish team in that setting. Without anything flashy, without big words and too much noise they had _so much more work_ done in a given week that my current sexy employment, I am still astonished.

We’ve got internal mobility portal and process, other teams regullary publish open positions and you’re free to move unless there are couple impeding issues like PIP. There are couple interviews, one is about tech stuff, just to ensure that you will be able to carry on (I switched from Java to Node stack recently) and “culture”, to ensure that you’re ok with the way team works and don’t seem like a toxic addition. It is a normal situation to hop teams and no one thinks anything special about it.

I recently switched from between tech stacks and quite different ways of working and different products.

This is a blatant lie that is so tiresome. How long is life of an average Android phone? How long do they supply updates? Google’s is 2 years of software updates and 3 years of security updates, IIRC. Apple supplies updates to 5 years phones rutinely and in lots of cases even longer. They now even provide a way for you, a private person, to just get tools and parts necessary to do certain DIY repairs/replacements. Quit your bullshit.

why would I have this hostname? It is random string with letters and numbers as usual. A container-per-build, never heard about it?

Fastmail tells you very explicitly what to do and how to do that, I recommend doing that, at one day you may be hit with a very important email going undelivered.

Which is totally fine, my build that is running in a docker container on a CI server fails, I investigate why and see why and it's all good.

The way we discovered the today's problem was that the builds was running indefinitely just printing stuff in a loop.

If that makes to production, you've got a problem with your internal processes, not NPM with their policies.
