That is not the TLDR I intended. If you store your OTP secrets in the same password store that also stores your regular passwords, you've just completely undermined the second factor of security.

Over the years I've built lots of small and large tools for personal use, some of them I'm still planning to release as open source "one day", others I have no intention of ever releasing. One of the biggest and most use

I'm really sorry for the situation you find yourself in and agree that it sucks. I'm replying because I want to mention that it is possible to use 2FA without any form of vendor lock-in (although I realize this doesn't help y

Thanks for clarifying, I learned something new today! Edit: It turns out that Bash does substitutions in the middle of strings using the ${string/substring/replacement} and ${string//substring/replacement} syntax, f

With regards to parted, if you only want to query for information, there is "partx" whose output was purposefully designed to be parsed. I have good experiences with it.

Note this string replacement is not anchored (right?) which can end up biting you badly (depending on circumstances of course).

Both `find -exec` and xargs expect an executable command whereas `while read; ...; done` executes inline shell code. Of course you can pass `sh -c '...'` (or Bash or $SHELL) to `find -exec` or xargs but then you easily get into qu

I grow mushrooms as a hobby and in that context my number one enemy is trichoderma, the green mold. This is because trichoderma is parasitic on other fungi, i.e. it doesn't colonize the substrates that I grow my fungi on, it directly c

This is completely disregarding the impact of microplastics on the health of animals, plants and ecosystems (FWIW I am aware that bioplastics shed microplastics as well).

Okay I understand what you mean now (still don't agree). I'm having a hard time envisioning companies involved in the fermented foods scene coming together and "lobbying" to push their "agenda" but who knows, m

I regularly make (grow) tempeh and koji and both require a food dehydrator to keep the temperature around 30°C for the duration of the fermentation (in my case, living in the Netherlands, so Western Europe). Both tempeh and koji are molds (

I run Home Assistant from a "manually managed" Python virtual environment as well, and have been doing so for years. It works fine. The developers are quite aggressive in insisting on recent Python releases, so upgrading is always

I suspect they are referring to using a Raspberry Pi and using a micro SD card as the main storage mechanism. This is known to be a bad combination that will fail at an unfortunate time, sooner rather than later. Personally I boot my Raspbe

by xolox 3y ago
This is a good idea, however one drawback is that Home Assistant sometimes needs "physical access" to devices connected to the computer that it's running on, for example Bluetooth and Zigbee dongles. Of course you can pass th

I've had plenty of trouble with Home Assistant upgrades randomly breaking smart devices from well known vendors, e.g. whenever I update I dread to find out whether my Neato vacuum robot is still supported or whether that integration ha

Tip: If you run `pip uninstall audiocraft` it should render an interactive confirmation prompt that explains which files it is about to remove, this should help to understand where the library was installed (of course you don't have to

I got my Aranet4 because it had very good reviews and allowed local read out of sensor data without any "cloud" involvement. I've been very happy with it, the readings are integrated into my Home Assistant setup so automation

The Aranet4 device is a non-DIY CO2 sensor however it operates over Bluetooth instead of Zigbee, not sure how much of a deal breaker that is for you. I had no trouble hooking it up to my Home Assistant setup though, and the device is fairly

Here's another upvote for the Aranet4 device, I first found it recommended on HN and have been happy with it ever since purchasing it a couple of months ago. Integrated into Home Assistant using a couple of lines of Python code schedul

In addition to "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?" another book by Frans de Waal, "Mama's Last Hug: Animal Emotions and What They Tell Us about Ourselves" is also well worth the read.

I think he's referring to the datatype (class) and associated operations (so not a literal Python module that you import, which may be where your confusing is coming from).
