I’ve not made a new #HomeAssistant custom component in about a year, it’s good starting something fresh and learning from all your past mistakes.

@badnetmask A little helper that scratches an itch rather than writing tedious yaml. Waiting for my branding icons to get merged before announcing but it’s all developed in public if you know where to look.


How one’s hand configuration affects the sound of clapping
Faster clapping yields lower-frequency sounds, as does cupping one's hands while clapping.

Right at the end is the scary part:

"It might even be possible one day to identify someone based on their distinctive claps and use it as a kind of acoustic login for electronic devices."

More surveillance - AI to be used to review footage of every concert, theatrical performance etc. ever, and produce a massive database linking you to the sounds of your hand claps.
Then you can be tracked by the sound you make whenever your flat hand contacts something 🤯😱



Firmware update bricks HP printers, makes them unable to use HP cartridges

Google bricks their chrome casts “by accident,” HP bricks their printers “by accident.” Lots of accidents these days companies wanting more sales it seems 🤷‍♂️

Well electric cars, hell, cars in general these days come with proprietary software that totally screws over the buyer's ability to fix their own damn car. It's bullshit, plain and simple.

Right to repair isn't just some fancy slogan, it's a fucking right. Period. I'm all in on open source software and the freedom to dig into the code, learn from it, and yeah, fix it if I need to. That's how it should be, not this locked-down crap they're pushing on us.

Sadly, this is the world most people are forced into with big tech companies owning and operating most of the software we and many companies use today.

I would recommend anyone reading this to give #Linux a try if you haven't already used it. It's open-source, customizable, and gives you the freedom to really make your system your own.

❤ In short: I love the right to repair my own stuff!

All my shack/office photos are carefully angled and tightly cropped.

I just backed up & shot a pano, as it's presently (just pre-spring) in the worst condition it's been in months.

Toying with posting for comedy.

“Protesters targeting #Tesla over their opposition to #Musk have a new strategy: faking interest in buying a Tesla to waste the company's time & resources.

in reply to Laffy

why are any of you worried about what's legal? These problems exist because law and order has failed us from the top down. #PerformanceArt isn't going to save us. The time for milquetoast NIMBY liberal praxis is over, it didn't work, it made things worse. Get your hands dirty or get used to fascism. #TeslaTakedown #Debillionarizasation
in reply to Bebadefabo

@bebadefabo Oh I dunno, because .... rule of law matters and those protesting could be imprisoned bc of Trump's army of assholes?

And yes, protests help "save us." No one thing does that. WE do that. The courts help, protests help, calling helps, pressure helps, running for office helps, town halls help, showing up in every way helps.

ALL of that IS getting "their hands dirty."

One of these days, I’m going to remember that fixing bad policy documents is ten times more work than starting over and building from scratch.
in reply to Accidental CISO

maybe, but then how would sunk cost fallacy continue to thrive?




Can we truly call it conservation if it is at the cost of displacing those who have nurtured the land for centuries?

Forcefully evicting the Maasai from their their ancestral homelands and auctioning it to greedy corporations for trophy hunting and carbon credits trading is not a climate solution.

It is nothing more than land grabs and exploitation wrapped in greenwashing, continuing the exploitation of vulnerable communities.

This is the executive branch we in the U.S. are dealing with. Meanwhile Trump is blaming Canada for fentanyl.

This #WomensHistoryMonth we once again acknowledge and reckon with Anarcha, Lucy and Betsey, the Mothers of Gynaecology. These enslaved Black women, along with nine other women whose names have been erased, were subjected to human experimentation without anaesthesia. We say their names.


I have a very strange issue with my VPS.

I am setting up wazuh for my personal use, and while the software seems to run just great, I'm unable to connect agents to it.

1. Wazuh does bind the ports (1514, 1515) properly. At least, netstat tells me to.
2. I can tcpdump on these ports, and see activity on 1515 (agent registration port).
3. The SYN packets never get a response from my VPS. It's like Wazuh is binding the ports, but isn't getting the packets or responding to them.

I'm completely out of ideas. The Wazuh community Discord has been unhelpful, so far.

I suspect ghosts.

Any help?

#wazuh #sysadmin #linux #selfhosted

in reply to Phil

Triple-check your firewall rules if you haven't already. Consider adding a logging firewall rule for *outgoing* packets with that source port to see whether the software tries to send some kind of response.

Parece que al menos en La Plata hay una nueva moda: la de circular en auto sin patente.

Hoy vi ya siete autos (tres de ellos camionetas de esas gigantescas típicas de hombres con micropene) que no tenían la chapa patente ni delantera ni trasera; ni siquiera la truchada del papel “provisorio”.

Ni hablar de las motos, que son más las que circulan sin ningún tipo de papeles que aquellas en regla.

Pero estos no eran todos cero km. Había una Berlingo de hace ya varios años por ejemplo. Un Gol de los viejos.
