You might want to look at Terramaster NASes. E.g. their F4-423 is basically an Intel NUC married to a SATA controller. They have an internal USB port where you can pull the OEM flash drive and insert your own, then install e.g. UnRAID or OpenMediaVault on it.

That will be my next device if my Synology DS415+ finally dies.

“I have no idea who locked it in 2015,” she said. At that time, the iPhone displayed a message saying it would unlock in 80,000 hours.

This usually happens when you hand your phone to your toddler.

I’m using OwnTracks in HTTP mode as I couldn’t be bothered with MQTT. For that, you only need the HTTP(S) endpoint/URL to log to, optionally user credentials and then it’s a “TrackerID”, “UserID” and “DeviceID” so the receiving server knows who’s talking.

Side note: Traccar uses different ports to receive different protocols. For OwnTracks protocol, the correct port is 5144.

My OwnTracks configuration is basically like this:

• TrackerID: 1
• DeviceID: Phone
• UserID: mb
• URL: https://mytraccarserver.com:5144 (the port itself is HTTP-only IIRC, but I’ve mapped Traefik Proxy in front of it which handles HTTPS)

After Google Latitude shut down, I went with OwnTracks logging into the light-weight php-owntracks-recorder.

I’ve since migrated that to Traccar (normally used for car fleet management) on server-side and am still using OwnTracks to push the location updates from my iPhone.

See, in Germany you can buy your own cable modem or fibre endpoint and connect that to the copper wire/fibre line.

Not illegal, but the ISPs are seemingly under no obligation to give you those details. In Germany, there’s the “freedom of routers” embedded in the telco law. So they HAVE to give you everything you need to get your custom router online via their wire/fibre.

Bridge mode is just using the ISPs router and bridge that into your router. It’s not the same - you still need the ISP’s access device instead of just yours.

Yep, after moving from Germany to the UK I was pretty surprised that in the UK you’re not supposed to get this kind of information from your ISP.

In Germany you can get your own DSL/cable/fibre modem and your ISP has to give you the necessary information to get these devices into their network.

Maybe try to understand his point first?

From what I’ve gathered, Nix will create an immutable state of HA, but HA requires for additional packages to be downloaded - which NixOS doesn’t support/allow.

So users will end up with a broken HA install.

And guess where they will file bug reports about this? (Hint: It won’t be Nix…)

Since the Pinecil is running IronOS, it’s just a matter of time for it to also get the fall detection. And apart from the LED ring gimmick, I don’t see any huge advantages over IronOS.

What they probably meant is they didn’t include a screen because this way they can sell their overpriced battery pack.

Have they not heard of the TS100 or the Pinecil?

Both run an open-source firmware and work with any USB-C PD battery pack and still allow you to configure the temperature.

Problem is: For these companies, the numbers of customer growth are far more important to their shareholders than anything else. So they won’t kick misbehaving customers and have no interest in identifying them in the first place.

It was - in the ancient times. Then, there were 3rd party cookies which you had to manually approve upon the initial creation. And then it went all down south and got abused via CDNs and ad networks.

I can’t see what was posted above anymore, but the DeviceCheck API lets app developers store 2 binary digits (that means 4 different states: 00, 01, 10 or 11) per device on Apple’s servers. So, no, these don’t get erased during a Factory Reset as they’re stored on Apple’s servers. But your phone will.

Is that an indirect plea to open an issue for it? We should do this.

The even bigger irony is that he only sued for $50k. That’s peanuts for big D. Their lawyers probably got more for digging up that arbitration clause.

Exactly! PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are a thing, too.
