Thanks for the kudos. Just note, I will add an update tomorrow - I optimized the automatic, it is now working pretty well. Before it was "overshooting" and the battery fed into the grid, or went into standby too often, just to sta

MARSTEK VENUS E 5.12kWh. Got it in August 25 for 1050,00 EUR. It is awesome how open it is designed, I was able to activate and automate it without adding it to my local network (wifi) or using the Marstek App even once. I wrote a blog post

I found out I can automate my 5,12kWh house battery through local-only RS485 connection, and directly setting registers using ModbusTCP from Home Assistant. I then drafted an automation with hysteresis and damping that tries to aim for Net-

I would never use what is proposed by OP. But, in any case, Linux on ZFS that is automatically snapshotted every minute might be (part of) a solution to this dilemma.

I can have multiple free esims with my operator. Since I have my auth-phone in airplane most of the time, I don't care about two ringing phones (or the small privacy caveat that comes with sharing the same phone number across multiple

Wow, my comment has really taken off! In both directions! Let me clarify some things. - I bought the iPhone SE 2022 second-hand for 150 EUR. I think this is a fair price, but it's still expensive given that I leave it lying around 99%

My main reason is that I wanted to separate browsing/daily use from auth/banking. These two things just don't belong together, from my perspective.

The iPhone SE 2022 I am speaking of above came 150 EUR used. It will receive updates till ~2032.

I use the eSim feature in my iPhone, this worked well.

Yes, I got my iPhone SE 2022 used for 150 EUR!

As I mentioned in another post: By 2026, you'll need two phones. My current setup: 1) An unmodified iPhone SE (2022 model) with OS support until 2032. This runs all my authentication, banking, health, etc. It is in airplane mode

Yes, I meant China, Russia and the US with the "3 big world" powers and yes, I was referring to the war in Ukraine. I am aware that the situation in Taiwan, Ukraine and Venezuela cannot be compared one-to-one. My categorization wa

The most prominent case for such a future would be china moving against Taiwan, which now got easier with two of the 3 big world powers making their move.

Since this year, I have two phones: 1) An iPhone Se 2022 that I use for TOTP, banking and auth. It is always in airplane mode, unless I need to login to banks (etc). The OS will receive security updates till 2032. 2) A Pixel phone with Grap

Agreed. I am still unhappy, but perhaps this is entirely my problem.

I set up automatic backups of WhatsApp to my self-hosted Nextcloud once. Since you need 'tested backups', I tried to decrypt these WhatsApp backups independent of my phone, but this was not possible. You need the original device.

Great visualization! It would have been nice to zoom out to a view of the world from space at the end, since this is really the max size of life as we know it (n=1 so far).

I think he is still correct in saying that the gear OP bought is worth much less now and further deteriorating fast. See my comment above here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46227813 . GPUs have such a short liefspan t

I recently had a similar experience, although not this size. Pre-story: For 3 years I wanted to build a rack-gaming-server, so I can play with my son in our small apartment where we don't have enough space for a gaming computer (wife a

It is obvious that everything that has been dreamed up relates to what exists now. There are no examples of real creativity or anything new or unexpected. This is my worst fear for the future: that novel ideas will become less commonplace a

This is it. For years, I had a stable IPSec connection from Germany to the US, where packets would be routed selectively for the convenience of web browsing without geo-blocks. It was a bit excessive for what it did, but the technical chall

I found the categorization feature distracting anyway because I read all my emails and always had to click through several tabs to see them.

Yes, I am using ZFS (Raidz2), which is exactly why I know the data remained intact despite the transmission errors. Here is the breakdown of what happened during my recent migration 5 weeks ago and why the SAS protocol made the difference:

by Helmut10001 10mo ago
With the redundancy in a raidz2 or mirror, the driver can and will fail. I count on this. But it can happen in a controlled manner.

The protocol is better (SAS). Once I put them in, I immediately noticed transmission issues in a counter going up for several of my HDDs where the SATA showed no errors at all. It was a faulty backplane that introduced these transmission is

by Helmut10001 10mo ago
I wouldn't say that being new is an absolute requirement. I recently upgraded my ZFS pool from SATA to SAS HDDs. Since SAS HDDs have much better firmware for early error detection and monitoring, I decided to buy 50% refurbished. Even

Then, the goal must be to guide users to run Antigravity in a sandbox, with only the data or information that it must access.

(author of the blog post) I fully agree with your argument: Hypervisor isolation is the best for multi-tenant security. In a single-purpose VM, the primary threat is often the application itself. There are two primary reasons for me to use

This is an even bigger issue than climate change because the intensity of the change is even harder to notice. I still see glimpses of biodiversity loss all around me, and it scares me.
