YES. I have to keep chrome installed on at least one desktop or laptop if I want to flash firmware on ESP devices.

Agreed. I’ve been using Krita quite a bit lately and honestly, it’s really good. I haven’t used an Adobe product for a few years, but it’s been able to do everything I want it to do so far.

Yeah, switched to a different company for kitchen stuff, bought it on their site and everything, felt good about it.

Delivery day comes, guess who delivered the package? Amazon. So that was great.

That’s definitely been true in the past, but the gap’s narrowed a lot. GIMP (with plugins) and Krita cover most Photoshop-style workflows, and Inkscape does a pretty good job with vector work. For many graphic design tasks, Linux has solid native tools now—just takes a bit of adjustment if you’re used to Adobe.

Perkele, kun vituttaa tämä helvetin krapula, mutta jumalauta, pitäähän sitä silti saatanan kauniina kesäpäivänä mennä pihalle perseilemään ja hitto soikoon, nauttia elämästä—vaikka päässä jyskyttää kuin paholaisen pikkuserkku vetäisi siellä Lordia rumpusoololla.

“I wrote an email to Google Gryzzl to say, ‘you have access to my computer, is that right?’”, he added.

Later that day

Apparently one of the people on the Rebble board is working on the project:

Some people are working on this for my new company, Core Devices, including Joshua (also one of the Rebble board members), Gerard (firmware) and crc32 (Cobble). We’ll be joined soon by Steve Penna, my OG Pebble colleague who helped build the Pebble Android app.

Heiko, the brilliant mind behind much of Pebble’s aesthetic and engineering beauty, is helping as technical advisor, along with my first colleague at Pebble, Andrew Witte and another key Pebble design leader, Mark Solomon. Others are helping via the Rebble community Discord.

Two of those are Commonwealth countries. Maybe a common defense mechanism could be agreed. Instead of Iron Dome, it could be called King Dome.

There are dozens of us! Mine is a Dreame D9 with a custom GLaDOS voice pack that I can change by updating a CVS file.

Institutional investors like pension funds selling a stock is kind of a big deal though, as a) there are a lot of them for a stock as “big” as Tesla, b) they are far less risk averse then individual investors, and c) the managers of these funds tend to pay attention to what other funds with similar holdings are doing. If one this big sells, others will wonder if they should get out now as well.

This could, in theory, be the start of a mass selloff of Tesla stock by institutional investors wanting to get out before the bubble bursts and they stop seeing gains from Tesla stock.

Vikunja is great. Classic tasks, Gantt, tables and kanban - take your pick. Very stable as well, have been using it for years now.

How about a dreamatorium in a linen closet?

Disk space is definitely an issue, but I think I’ve got my single user instance dialed in on a 2 vcpu/4gb/30GB RAM Hetzner VPS; a cron job that runs at the first of every month deletes pictrs files over 30 days old. Currently at 74%.

A lot of bean memes died the day that job first ran.

Yeah, the tablet runs Fully Kiosk and I tried the same thing with the battery percentage thing and ran into the same issue, so I just simplified and made the automation time-based.

The tablet also likes to freeze a few times a day, so I also created an automation that toggles the smart plug power whenever HA loses connection to the tablet for more than 5 seconds, then toggles back to the original state at the start of the automation, which corrects the problem. Until the next time. But hey! It was only $60, so it’s fine.

That’s a nice setup. I am weirdly jealous of the sliding shelf. The CS350B is very nice as well.

Heat, then suction?

On a related note, I solved the battery issue with my wall mounted Fire tablet (for an HA dashboard) by connecting the power supply to a smart plug and setting up an automation to only give it the juice for about 3 hours per day, spread throughout the day

From top to bottom:

• Patch panel (with artisinal, handmade cables)
• TP-Link managed switch Shelf 1:
• PFSense 4 port firewall
• Lenovo m910q w/Proxmox (cluster node 1) running 2 VMs for docker hosting: Ubuntu for media stuff (arrs, navidrome, jellyfin, calibre, calibre-web, tubesync, syncthing) and Debian for other stuff (paperless-ngx, vikunja, vscodium, redlib, x-pipe webtop, fasten health, linkwarden, alexandrite), 1 Win 10 VM for the very few times I need to use windows, some Red Hat Academy student and instructor RHEL 9 VMs, and an OPNsense VM for testing Shelf 2:
• HP Elitedesk G5 800 SFF w/Proxmox (cluster node 2) with an Nvidia GT 730 passed through to a Debian VM used primarily as a remote desktop via ThinLinc, but also runs a few docker containers (stirling pdf, willow application server, fileflows)
• Shuttle DH110 w/Proxmox (cluster node 3) with 1 VM running Home Assistant OS with an NVME Coral TPU passed through as well as a zooz 800 long range zwave coordinator (the zigbee coordinator is ethernet and in a different room) and two LXCs with grafana and prometheus courtesy of tteck (RIP) Shelf 3:
• WIP Fractal R5 server to replace the ancient Ubuntu file server to the left (outside the rack, sitting on the box of ethernet cable) that is primarily the home of my media drives (3 12 TB Ironwolf drives) and was my first homelab server. The new box will have a Tesla p4 and RX 580 GTX, i7-8700T and 64GB RAM in addition to the drives from the old server. I’ll be converting the Ubuntu drive from the old server into an image and will use it to create a Proxmox VM on the new server, with the same drives passed through. Bottom:
• 2 Cyberpower CP1000 UPS with upgraded LiFePO4 batteries. The one on the left is only for servers and only exists to give the servers time to shut down cleanly when the power goes out. The one on the right is only for network devices (firewall, switch and the Ruckus R500 out of shot mounted higher in the closet)

The internet certainly forgets…but a Usenet service with good retention will remember for about a decade

I’ve moved to Garmin now, but I have an ocean’s worth of salt over Pebble as well.

LET US LISTEN TO YOU IT WILL BE FINE.

IGNORE ME!
