Yup, instant nope here (That and not having a browser addon, passwords in the browser is 99% of my password-use). All other stuff is mostly SSH keys / ssh-agent.

Yes, I admit, this is 100% vibecoded, but it scratches an itch i've had for a while. Seems to work for my usecases at this time, but might add some more features in the future.

The $10-$20 ones on aliexpress should be fine in general. The $6 and below ones usually are SDTV/crap ones.

I have a bunch of the Hagibis branded ones, and they work perfectly for capturing 1080p60 from laptops and cameras.

Thinkpad T14 gen 5/6/current should have AMD APU, has a 4k OLED, and 2 sodimm slots.

I've bought 14kwh of anker solix max ac for €3900, and added 2 zendure 800 plus's for €320 each (1.9kwh + 2 solar mppt ports each). It's all connected and managed through homeassistant.

In the Netherlands (and the rest of western europe), we have hourly and quarterly energy pricing (opt-in), next to pricing plans that have one or two fixed tariffs during the day/year.

I quite like the quarterly pricing, for example today the home-battery charged for 3 hours during the cheapest time (13:00 - 16:00), and discharged again for the most expensive hours (19:00 to 21:00), and kept my house's grid-input at zero for the rest of the day.

Feeding back a few kwh's during the most expensive hours gives me a big kickback, making electricity use for the rest of the day mostly free. (Since there is usually a 150-250% price difference between cheap and expensive timeslots).

Looks like the ACME endpoint has been down for 4-7 days now.

Noticed in my monitoring that my cronjobs were failing, still have some validity on my certs, but this has been down for a few days in a row now.

It's only facing away from earth, it can face the sun just fine. Rotation is every 4 weeks.

So, this won't work on any regular bike that has a fender, which is most 'regular' bikes people would use for city-driving/daily commutes. (At least in area's that get rain occasionally.

The problem is that they then force you to use them as a DNS host as well.

Yeah, the only difference with a regular smartphone is the small screen size, and number-pad.

> NFC Payments (note: Google Wallet is not available; we recommend using your local bank's app if it supports NFC or Curve Pay in the EU+UK)

Most of which have switched to google-pay the last 2 years, and therefor don't work.

I can only conclude that Windows is basically malware now... Thank $deity I haven't used any form of Windows for 10+ years anymore.

Still seeing them for ~600 everywhere, which is completely in line with historic pricing: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/2246090/lg-ultragear-oled-34...

Why do people even install 'drivers' for things like monitors. (Or usb devices running 'standard' protocols). The OS handles these just fine by itself.
