I think you nailed it, a tempting target for spare milkshakes.

Looks like the logical outcome when (well, hopefully if) the surveillance capitalism fully takes over the Government.

TIL a new term that I shall be using.

True, and you are probably not putting anywhere near enough salt to the water.

We are just covering all the bases.

Any news outlet will have a bias. If nothing else, the broader culture a news organisation operates in will inherently influence their decisions.

I would say BBC is nowhere near the worst, though. Arguing they are Government controlled is just silly. You drawing a comparison to Russian media organisations is a load of tosh.

I know you are not.

Our daughter was visiting, so that was nice. I made decent progress on a new decking in the back garden, which was also nice, but on the flip side I’m now exhausted.

There’s a lot going on in the title alone!

Can confirm this is a very good instance. Admin team is competent, we seemingly have a decent level of funding going through donations to keep things afoat, and in general things flow nicely in a no nonsense way.

And you can of course always switch to another instance (with some effort in migrating your settings) in the unlikely event something starts bothering you in this particular shire.

Frivolous automations is the way! I have a WLED strip go on 5 pm when a wheely bin needs to go out, with colour matching next day’s bin collection.

Or go with WLED software on a suitable wifi connected controller (e.g. QuinLED).

Executive and board compensation as a result of any deal of this nature should be public information.

If tech for you means software, then yes, you can decouple from global supply chains with relative ease.

If, however, you look into some other areas of tech a different picture emerges. Global dependencies especially in semiconductors are much deeper. Products built from such components are the same. Decoupling in those domains would be significantly more difficult.

Tories have an amazing hit rate in selecting deplorables as their leader.

Feature, not a bug.

And just to be clear, I boot from the SSD and don’t use an SD card at all.

RaspberryPi + USB connected SSD would be my recommendation for HomeAssistant. Using an SSD reduces the risk of SD card flaking

My first thought seeing the captain is Russian was sabotage. And maybe a second later I realised the more likely cause: vodka.
