Just taken a look at my Adguard Home query log for my TV, it seems to try and make hundreds of requests to "logs.netflix.com" for some reason - I'm not a subscriber to Netflix, I've never opened the Netflix app, I just t

This is awesome and a great demonstration of where 3D printing and a bit of design nous can get you Last year I tried to design my own magsafe stand but it was proving to be too complicated to meet my criteria of looking good and be stable

I love PTA and have been doing it for years, using beancount, fava and emacs. The main benefit for me is keeping track of everything, including pensions, RSU vests and so on. I have some scripts that help me connect to banks and translate t

I don’t use it as some motivational tool to change spending habits or whatever but I do like to keep a record of all my accounts and assets, I think it gives me a better understanding of my whole financial picture and I create ‘virtual’ acc

I use beancount in emacs using the beancount extension which does autocomplete, and I’ve added some of my own elisp tricks to make navigating around the file easier. It’s actually the only thing I use emacs for.

This is really cool and demonstrates the power of stuff like home assistant really well. I’ve recently rediscovered my old music collection from the pre-streaming days on an old NAS, thousands of mp3s with carefully curated id3 tags etc. I’

I have a 15 Pro Max and I like it, I actually switched from Android last year so I've only been in the iPhone world for a short while. The camera button/gesture thing on this new model seems decent but none of the features really

I watched the videos embedded in the article, annoyingly they don't show the cutting process just the splitting part but still. One thing I always appreciate about watching these sort ofs things is how much work and people goes into it

I was thinking about building one of these but I read that IKEA have cut costs on the materials and the legs/table are mostly honeycomb inside so no longer strong enough for something like this. Would be interested to hear if anyone ha

Really interesting and amusing post thanks for taking the time to write it and share it.

The iPhone mirroring looked interesting, I'm not sure why I would use it but it might come in handy in a pinch. One thing not clear in the presentation (or maybe I missed it) was how this feature works when apps ask for FaceID, e.g. fi

I didn't see anything with the naked eye (UK), probably too much light pollution, but I took a photo of the sky with my phone and you could definitely see it.

One thing I've been wondering about is, could you build an Android app that acts like google assistant in the sense of you pressing a button/swiping gesture whatever and the "assistant" kicks in from any context on the p

I've been using traefik for a few years for all my self hosted things. I abandoned the dynamic/discovery/docker labelling functionality though it was just too finicky and annoying to debug. Instead I generate a static config

I used claude opus recently to help me build a website. I mocked up the design in balsamiq and pasted a screenshot of it in into Claude and told it to write the html for it with Twitter Bootstrap CSS framework. The output got me 85% of the

The last time I got a paper ticket for a TfL journey was at the olympic games in 2012 where I think they gave you one for free if you had a ticket for one of the sporting events. Other then that I just used my Oyster card. I don't live

Neat! I was always under the impression that rice cookers worked on a timer basis, but from the article it sounds like it's more of a thing where the appliance will tell you when the rice is cooked - is that right? I'm intrigued t

IKEA have really nailed the smart home thing, the products are affordable and unassuming and crucially, all zigbee. You don't even need to use their hub you can use your own. I've got a bunch of IKEA smart lights, motion sensors,

My solution was pretty much the same as what this guy did, although he had a slightly different model of scanner to me, but it's a very similar setup https://chrisschuld.com/2020/01/network-scanner-with-scansn

I'm not sure how I would do that on my model (ScanSnap S1300i), it connects over USB and has no touchscreen/control interface or network port, or wifi capability, you have to connect it to a computer via USB. This works fine on sa

I've done something similar although I had to jump through a few hoops to get it to work. I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap which is one of those feed-through scanners. I have it hooked up to a Raspberry Pi which listens for the button press o

I really miss forums tbh, what happened to them? It feels like Discord has replaced the good old forum but it's worse in so many ways.

It also depends on the category of the product and what 'value' you hope to get from it. For example recently I purchased a Lego set, the biggest one I've ever purchased and it cost £565 (titanic) which is the most amount of

In the UK shops have to charge for bags, think it's about 10p or more for the better quality ones. Tbh it's easier to just bring your own bags, for a big grocery shop I have 2 bags lined with foil insulation to keep cold items coo

RIP Kris. She was one of my favourite people to follow on Twitter, and for understandable reasons she left there to start the mastodon instance but I didn't really use it much. Really shocked to hear the news, she was very influential.

I get the impression this 'rebrand' was announced with short notice and they probably have a skeleton marking/design staff after firing everyone else. The x.com domain just redirects to twitter.com, not the other way around.
