[help me out please: add-ons are the Home Assistant thing that you can’t use with Home Assistant in a container? Extensions are the Home Assistant add-on that you can … ?]
Almost everything is WiFi, I can’t remember the thing that isn’t.
I’m really looking forward to Home Assistant; I have to learn to use containers first.
Thank-you most kindly for your imputus. Very well received. 😁
That’s very well received. Thank-you.
I have only a small place but being without some items would be disconcerting. Most of my set-up is in Tuya/Smart Life on WiFi.
I’m trying to learn podman/containers to make it possible.
Good luck!
My bad!
They’ve got another Tory leading the Labour party advised by Tony Blair (himself a Thatcherite). The Tories and Labour are so far left that George Galloway is described as far right.
Guido where are you now?!
In reality, he’s probably trying to save himself from the dole queue.
Thank-you ! 😁
Second vote for Niagara. Admittedly I haven’t tried other third party launchers. [Pixel 7 Pro owner who balked at the standard Pixel screen on sight in a way that I hadn’t previously with any phone]
Thank-you. Question answered.
Sorry to have bothered everyone!
The Tories have gone out of their way to make working beneficial for people other than those actually doing the working. Some offshore toting moron called Dave decided that austerity was the way to go. So we did.
(Less than) Curiously, the law of unintended consequences kicked in: people are not working because it doesn’t do them any good. They’re so pissed off and downhearted that they’re not even fucking - the birth rate is well below replacement level.
Everything I see around me reminds me of 1970s Britain when we were forced to join the EU because the country was bankrupt. They’re even advertising those chairs that are suspended from the ceiling, and everything is coloured brown again. “Abigail’s Party” will be coming to Netflix next week.
I write as one of Thatcher’s children who loved the 1980s.
I currently advocate Anarchy (using the formal definition of anarchy not what you imagine it is), or our mate Guido with a decent level of follow through.
I hosted my email on a home Exchange server last century before finally settling on Zoho so can sympathise!
I should also say that my setup is backed with Google cloud DNS.
I can’t honestly say that I’ve had any problems with Zoho collecting/sending email for years. It’s the general admin side that causes consternation - adding a domain, forwarding, lists, where the f I set up an email address!
Hosting domain email for other customers is really easy too should the need arise.
Zoho mail has a domain hosting platform for email. About £60 pa in dollars for my setup. Pricing varies on the number of accounts not the number if domains. I have two accounts, personal and business, and a control admin account. The domains I host vary according to the businesses I run. I funnel each domains email to one of the two accounts and reply with the appropriate domain easily. Personal email is masked with Addy.io mostly.
They deal with the email very well. There was a time that they really didn’t and the system went up and down like a tarts knickers.
The front end is ok. They play with it a lot and there are many screens pushing some shit or other before you actually are allowed to get to the inbox. The inbox setup is excellent with all the expected functionality and toys and many toys appearing monthly.
Typical of Indian continent companies, as a Brit who has spent much of his life frustrated on the phone to “Dave” from Mumbai with a really really thick accent, Zoho don’t really seem to understand concepts properly, so their passkeys setup doesn’t work with Bitwarden. TOTP 2FA cannot be just pasted in (from Bitwarden again) because they’ve tried to be flash with the input field and one has to click on a specific place first. The support team try really hard, but their ability to grasp the problem and fix it is lacking before some other buzzword catches marketing’s attention and they add yet another screen to click through or subvert the problem somewhere else. Their help knowledge base is enormous, well documented but unorganized and they don’t archive stuff that has been superceded, so be careful.
That said I’ve been using them for well over a decade and have no plans to change.
Running your own mail server ceased to be a hobby thing when RBLs came in. Use a provider with the resources to do the hard/cumbersome stuff.
I’d give Zoho mail an easy 7/10. And it’s cheap. Zoho invoice is great too.
Because he could be king far far sooner than he thinks.
Don’t follow. Help me out someone please.
The net runs on numbers. The numbers have to be translated into/from the DNS name to the numbers.
Nominating a DNS name as internal is doesn’t change the fact that we still have to, at some stage, find the (local) network mask that that corresponds to.
What am I missing?
Update: I’m not sure I formed my question correctly because I’m none the wiser. That’s my fault, I think.
Not really.
I joined early stuff was unstable. I couldn’t join one that was in my country (UK) and eventually managed to join one in Oz without knowing - just my luck!
I don’t have any noticeable delays in content loading unless there’s a general problem with the version of Lemmy.
First micro was an Acorn Atom around 1981. First home built PC in around 1988.
Used Windows from the very early days of 3.0 when (Xerox?) Gem became the less useful competitor.
Around Win 2003, XP era they started taking useful functionality out or burying it and taking the useful KB articles off the net.
About that time I wanted to look at VoIP and stumbled into VoIP@home which was hosted by CentOS and I, initially, ran in a Win 2000 VM.
Not long after MS bought Hotmail and found that Windows servers couldn’t keep it going and they had to replace it with UNIX. Maybe that timeline isn’t quite right.
Started transitioning away from Windows that that stage and am so glad I did. I think Win 12 will just consist of a start button and everything else will require daily subscription.
From being a Win fanboy to just wishing he’d have taken the whole thing to that Epstein island with him and left it there.
Instance name if you’re taking residents?!
UK bloke with main/only account on Reddthat. Oh the irony!
Would the last person out of Reddit please turn off the lights.
The detailed write-up was just that. Very good.
Looking forward to it going gold (do people still say that?!)
That’s rather beautifully put and extra marks for p-h-t! 😁😜
I learned low level stuff to give prices to traders before the trading interval ended. I’m serious. Our four man hedge fund was under the wing of huge French bank. Pricing in the era was painful.
Asked for a price in the era used to take minutes for derivatives; I was told much faster wasn’t possible; that’s a red rag to me. I had no choice but to get dirty and go low level again.
The traders were old style barrow-boys, their like disappeared maybe a year or so after. Derivatives have a load of parameters that go with the actual price, “the Greeks”, and market traders easily remember sets of shopping lists and prices and quantities at the same time. They were a shoe-in before computers were actually useful on a trading floor.
I learned to program on a 6502 RISC chip in Acorn Assembler. I liked it because BASIC was shit in the era (GOTO Fcuk My Life), like it got much better … 🤣😂 Knowing how programs work allows me to try to make it faster. These days I think know compilers are smarter than me.
Rust appeals too for the time-travel aspect. I’d like to learn to write a threaded program. I would have loved to do that when back in the day, I always regretted the way it worked, but it was way beyond me 😭 .
I wouldn’t mind looking at my old original killer pricing program, I knew it could be optimised then, but I just didn’t have the time or the skills to go that extra mile. I regret that bitterly. 😡
If you get time, let me know of your (t)rust travels. Bon voyage.
Probably Ruby. For some reason … no, that’s a lie … playing with Exherbo, Gentoo and Funtoo, but mostly Exherbo, made me loathe Python. However, everyone in the data processing arena seems to use it, so I’m bound to have to change my ways eventually! For “Ruby”: read “Python”.
My days of needing high-speed low level languages are long gone. I learned C on Borland C++ back in 1990 to price derivatives on 386s. Loved it.
If I mess around with any language it’s for fun. I intend to commit suicide, when my time is done, by the percussive head trauma that learning Haskell will cause me.
Well they’ve proved themselves more interested in low hanging fruit, rather than criminality.
