There’s a way to direct dns challenges to a dns server just for the dns acme challenges: https://blog.bryanroessler.com/2019-02-09-automatic-certbot-...

No need to give broader access

I was using straight filesystem backups for a while, but I knew they could be inconsistent. Since then, I've setup https://github.com/prodrigestivill/docker-postgres-backup-lo..., which regularly dumps a snapshot to the filesystem, which regular filesystem backups can consume. The README has restore examples, too

I haven't needed to tune selfhosted databases. They do fine for low load on cheap hardware from 10 years ago.

For broadcast, there are at least a few open source ad detectors: https://github.com/erikkaashoek/Comskip, https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythcommflag

Not OP, I use AirGradient recommended Senseair S8

Some one else used a stepper motor actuated cam to open a dishwasher, could be used instead of a linear actuator: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/diy-automatic-opener-f...

I have a very old rotary phone that you “dial” how bright to make the lights. esp8266 detects dial pulses, sends mqtt message to home assistant, home assistant sets zigbee can/recessed lights to requested setting

Controlling Mitsubishi mini split heat pumps instead of paying hundreds for Mitsubishis solution: https://github.com/geoffdavis/esphome-mitsubishiheatpump

It's real! Kiva Systems built the roomba part that can raise a shelf above them and drive it around (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSA5Bq-1fU4). Amazon bought them.

There is code bubbles. Early demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsPX0nElJ0k current site (eclipse plugin for java projects?): https://cs.brown.edu/~spr/codebubbles/index.html. Maybe also inspired Visual Studio debugger exploration. I haven't used it (but have wanted to)

I've had to force my Hue bulb into zigbee pairing mode by holding a Hue dimmer switch very close, then pressing and holding the on and off buttons until the light starts to flash and stops flashing, then releasing the on/off buttons.

I keep 2x ~150 USD machines at home; 1 active, 1 cold spare. Current active is Dell 3020 w/ 4th gen i5-4590 3.3GHZ Quad-Core, 8 GB RAM. It has been enough for nextcloud, jellyfin, home assistant, backups. I think it averages about 30w

To me, on the internet, I mostly recognize "people [I've] seen before" via the username. Most of the good internet villages I venture to, a username is secondary to me. I care about the content first, which can come from lots of people, and the users/faces/people second, which are mostly just the extremes of my (dis)favor.

I think mod tools are huge. I also think voting on content is big, though. Finding a village that aligns with my value of content is more important than recognizing specific people online.

I like consistent hashing (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_hashing). When a hash table (or load balancing pool) needs to be resized, it usually reduces the number of keys (clients) that need to be remapped.

I haven't read all these words yet, but I recognize enough of them to know I have similar interests. I was excited to see https://bazil.org/2014/04/24/introducing-bazil/. Of course, now defunct.

You might be interested in controlling Turbo Boost directly (e.g. google find this: http://tbswitcher.rugarciap.com/)

Your computer will be slower. Depending on the task that may or may not be welcome. Some video conferencing can eat all available CPU/GPU cycles and generate fan noise; this is probably a good time to manually disable Turbo Boost. Unless you want more sword fighting time, disabling during compilation tasks is probably not a great time.

Better battery life and less fan noise are benefits, though!

Enfani (previously don't port) has a product to prevent this: https://efani.com/

I haven't used it. I want to, but haven't wanted to deal with changing my family plan. It does make me more interested in a dual-sim phone.

Syncthing runs relays to keep the user from knowing/caring: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/relaying.html

A favorite example of mine even if it's contrived: https://twitter.com/sc00bzt/status/730903007014076416

Be aware of the maximum connection bottlenecks in your stack, especially if you have an interactive app.

I've had apache refuse new requests because old connections were holding slots.
