It should be noted that the repo you linked is for a deprecated image that's losing support at the end of this year: https://info.linuxserver.io/issues/2023-09-06-unifi-controll... The note I link above discusses

I have a relatively inexpensive Seiko 5 mechanical watch that I really like, but as much as I love the idea of mechanical watches I simply don't have the patience to tend to it. Accuracy is a big problem (at least with my specific watc

I do contract work for NASA and the main project I work on is transitioning from PostGraphile to an ASP.NET Core WebAPI (currently targeting .NET 7, but will likely look at bumping that to 8 once it's released if it's not too disr

In my experience trying to send email from any address with something other than .com, .net, .org, and most 2-character country TLDs automatically counts against it by spam blockers to the point where users have to whitelist the address to

I agree. My opinion is that once you've trained yourself to use virtual desktops efficiently, multiple monitors becomes more of a hassle than a benefit. I think multiple monitors is the solution for people who would rather solve the pr

From the perspective of someone who's been neck-deep in a highly complex PostGraphile project for several years now, I wholeheartedly and strongly recommend that you SHOULD NOT expose your database or autogenerate an API from your data

I like to write short fiction sometimes as a hobby (usually just for myself, or occasionally posted anonymously on the internet), with a big reason being that I have something to think about when I'm trying to fall asleep or distract m

When something is identified as a placebo, that is not the same as saying it can't or won't help anyone. The placebo effect is a real, measurable phenomenon. As a non-scientist I'm probably going to grossly oversimplify this,

The next logical step after writing the code given in the article is to abstract common boilerplate SQL into a library so you're not spending 50% of your time writing and re-writing basic SQL insert, update, and select statements every

I recently got a new vehicle and went to great lengths to find a smaller electric that would fit my needs. My wife argued that this was a bad move, however: > Tall vehicles have bigger blind spots and are more likely to strike a person’s

Some years ago I was seeing a dentist that I had no complaints about--I try to take good care of my teeth, and she would tell me what I was used to hearing, teeth look great, nothing concerning, and so on. Then one day I go to my 6 month cl

For a while I worked at a company that did arguably worse things than Google does. Regardless of dignity and courage it's hard to just "walk away" from a paycheck when you have mouths to feed, a mortgage to pay, a family who

While it is confusing why Reddit wouldn't offer it as an olive branch, I don't think allowing Reddit Premium subscribers to access the API for free would be an ideal solution. It would be extremely confusing for the majority of us

I debated this several years ago (when they released their horrendous redesign and "old" Reddit became a thing, which in my mind signaled the inevitability of what's going on right now). In the end I decided to go through wit

Is a credible Reddit alternative (that operates on the same extremely broad scope and large scale) even possible without eventually going down the same road?

I find it a little odd that an article which is, at least incidentally, about the dangers of sharing too much information about yourself publicly on the internet in this dawning age of AI-assisted scams, is itself so heavily plastered with

Part of me wonders whether some of the recent advancements in LLMs could help detect and stop scams by having them pre-process emails, texts, or monitor transcripts of ongoing phone calls and have them alert the user if the content seems sc

The video file for that movie stored on a UHD Blu-Ray would probably be in the neighborhood of 50-90GB, depending on various factors such as movie length, disc capacity (I think UHD discs come in two different capacities), compression rate

I don't drive much (and especially avoid doing it at night), but this is even a problem for me when I'm walking my dogs around the neighborhood at night. When a SUV is driving towards me I usually have to shield my eyes or else ri

The target demographic for OsmAnd is people who prefer to pay for services with money instead of their privacy. Google Maps is only free if you consider your personal information and privacy to be valueless.

This is most likely because geocoding (converting an address to lat/long coordinates) is a non-trivial thing to implement, and any 3rd party service that might offer an integration point to provide this directly in OsmAnd probably want

I think calling DVDs and 480p "unwatchable" is a pretty extreme take. Sure you might not be able to count an actor's eyelashes, but a well-shot film on anamorphic DVD properly upscaled can still look pretty fantastic. If watc

Also if it has been proven that, given a chance, many supermarkets have and still actively do inject e-coli into their foods because they are able to profit off of it somehow, then the "e-coli testers" would be an even better idea

Saying you refuse to use FKs because you keep running into problems with data migrations is like saying you refuse to use arrays in your code because you keep running into problems with out-of-bounds index errors.
