Why do you think Celsius is worse in day to day life?

Bosch has been making washing machines where replacing the drum bearings is not supported (the bearings are sealed in a plastic housing) for a while now, not sure if this is the case in all of the models or the cheaper ones only.

Not on all of the models.

For the same amount of money employee gets it requires employer to pay out less.
But it's not meant to be shared widely, for most people it's meant to be shared with consideration and/or permission.

Also, it's not just about "a desire not be interrupted by people you didn't agree to be interrupted by", it's about not having the data in the first place, for any reason, including tracking of any sorts.

What definition of contact details makes them not private?

Contact details (your phone number, email or address) are definitively private information, you should be the one that decides who gets them and who doesn't.

How do updates work with postgres?

Bug resolution time is not the only metric of value in software development.
Re:PHP 8.4 on Friday November 22, 2024 @04:14AM (#42212317)
Usually the release is fine, but dependencies can be lacking in proper support/testing of the newer versions, so it takes a couple of months.

Also external tooling, like for example NewRelic extension, takes some time to release a version that supports the new release.

Thank you, I was reading https://github.com/monal-im/Monal/wiki/Considerations-for-XM... and misread the requirements, 0.13 is required for SASL2, not for cloud_notify.

I really like Prosody because it was trivial to reuse the same user store I use for Postfix/Dovecot so every email account gets an XMPP account automatically.

Re:XMPP: The Gem of Instant Messaging on Friday November 08, 2024 @05:36AM (#42085804)
It looks like you need server support for that as well (makes sense), to bad Prosody doesn't have it in a released version but you have to build it manually.

Is there an iOS app that supports push messages?
AFAIK, it wasn't like that on Windows 3.11, it would be interesting to know when this was added.
I believe the commenter is in US where you are allowed to make a right turn on a red light but you must stop and make sure it's safe to do so.

I've bought a 1.77" one for 2€ on AliExpress, if somebody needs help on how to wire it properly I wrote a short post about it: http://goran-juric.from.hr/blog/2020/03/connecting-177-inch-...
Can you link the power breaker?
I have a Frient Zigbee device that does the same, but sends data to Home Assistant.

How would you describe something useful?

Can you give examples of counterintuitive idiosyncrasies you must deal with to be productive?

Re:How I keep myself alive using Golang on Thursday March 07, 2024 @06:57AM (#39627986)
It does, but you can't forward this data to a separate service or push to your calendar so you can see it on your watch.

Take a look at xdrip4ios[1]. If you are using Libre 2 sensors you don't need MiaoMiao, Libre 2 has Bluetooth connectivity built in.

The other piece of the puzzle is Nighscout[2] that stores data in Mongodb (last time I looked at it). You can also enter a custom script to your Nightscout installation that can be your own endpoint to accepting JSON data about BG.

Not sure I understand the question.

Croatia is a small country and we don't have vast amounts of content in our own language, so when I search I often get bombarded with machine translated content from Russian origin. I suppose it is Russian, since there are images with text written on them that is in cyrillic.

If it were Serbian (they also use cyrillic) there would be no need for translation since we basically speak the same language and a lot of Serbian content is in latin alphabet also.

Same in Croatia with Russian content.
Re:Jepsen: MySQL 8.0.34 on Tuesday December 19, 2023 @09:59AM (#38696315)
We use it, we know it and can troubleshoot it if needed, it satisfies our needs and it works. What more do you need?

It also works for others, Github for example.

The only thing I am missing at the moment is a native UUID type so I don't have to write functions that convert 16bit binary to textual representation and back when examining the data manually on the server.

Moderation via the old interface is problematic, especially if you have custom mod tools and actions set up.

Yes
On each integration page there is a button that states if the integration is local or remote.
Probably because the official client only checks the state if you open the app, while HA probably does it every so often.

Legit solution would be for the company to allow local access to the garage door to check the state without needing to go through their servers.

Usually they use a big pool of IP addresses, but that doesn't make fail2ban completely useless since they do reuse IPs.
Not in the whole world, my guess is that it's usually credit card companies in USA that protect you.
