The default inform address is unifi:8080. Every network I've set up (which is not many) has a dns search suffix handed out by dhcp. So the wap will resolve, e.g. unifi.branch.megacorp.net with zero config needed.

Nice, although wouldn't work today. Modern distros (ime, fedora 42) need you to update policy and reboot. You can't connect with just --key-exchange YOLO1 any more I hate network vendors. Wish I could put BSD on my old Catalysts.

The NSA is an American body, and Trump is the subject of a personality cult far in excess of any European monarch. Authoritarianism is a personality trait independent of political structures.

If you think for a moment, you'll realise that it's irrelevant whether marriage is important to you - it's important to many. So when a person wishes to deny this important institution to a minority, they are creating an out-

They don't come with all the downsides. They externalise the reduced forward visibility for people behind you, the headlights spinning onto other users' cabins, the running over of toddlers, and, my favourite, the driving in the m

Tosh. The axis is not leave/remain or pro/anti-immigration, it's having an interest in nuance versus settling for simplistic answers. You think you can define me, because I scorn gammon - you must think you're still on F

Nitpick: "gammon" as a constituency refers to boomers and older Gen X, typically financially comfortable, who are declining in intellectual openness and increasing in strength of opinion. They are called "gammon" because

We remind all federal employees not to use billions as toilet paper, as it is technically defacing the currency.

I question "mainstream". I would say it's a peculiarly American blend of prosperity gospel and pick-and-choose. America didn't invent those tenors of self-serving cant, but it is the exemplar today This supposed Christia

There are a few services best left in the public sector - e.g. defence, water, mail delivery. When one government, for its own reasons, sells a service, intervention is required to return it to public hands. The cost of that intervention wa

Maybe, but LCD panels are a light source, so it's not apples-to-apples. I _perceive_ eink as higher contrast than any LCD.

I've noticed a big increase in time-to-first-content over the last few years, even on ever-increasing bandwidth and decreasing latency. I should sniff traffic to find out why, but my assumption is that it's a mix of CRL bloat and

Well tbf, there is a regulator and there are price controls. They've been given license to extract wealth, but not as much as possible. I do share your bitterness. Free-market fundamentalists have flogged assets for years, and the cost

The court will take a dim view of your fatuous semantics, and I'll get summary judgement in my favour. It is damning of your shithole country that, out of freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, justice for all, and the equality of

I'm hazy on the details, but: Home Assistant has a well-known public name that opens your local instance. On first access, you need to give it the name or ip of your instance, which is saved in browser storage. This supports deep links

We are on HN, which daily shouts about MVP and finding market fit. Young progressives can iterate. Old people cannot, conservatives cannot. I agree with you about the 50 years: it started in 1980, if I had to pick a specific year, so, good

I find this softer position much more amenable than your GP comment. However, you conflate "businesses" with "entities that pay only some minimal poll tax". It turns out that progressive tax does not preclude complex soc

You might enjoy Children Of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It's an imagination of what a spacefaring civilisation of octopuses might look like. I won't hype it to the moon. I enjoyed Children Of Ruin more, which centres on spiders. B
