After many tormentous nights I've come to accept that people a lot smarter than me are paid a lot more than me to make a buck off my back every way possible. I may not win the war, but I sure as hell don't have to make it easy for 'em.

It does please me to read so, so many others are waking up to big data and the greed/selfish nature of data brokerage by turning on flock and data centers. Politicians might even jump on board if they can swindle enough votes.

Haha! Yeah, might... I know.

Absolutely. Not disputing that at all. But repairs can also take time.

I have a broken window right now. It cracked from heat stress. Nobody's fault. It used to be easy to replace same day. But building code requires double pane and for good reasons. But, the new window was measured, will be built to spec, shipped, and installed over the next week. Things sometimes take time.

There are remedies for tenants incurring habitability issues. It sounds like some think elevator access should be cause. It will be interesting to follow the direction this goes as accessibility outside the rental unit tends to lean more towards ADA rules.

Supervisor Danny Sauter announced drafting legislation in late July that would mandate elevator repairs within 24 hours, and require landlords to pay for the relocation of seniors, disabled tenants, and families with young children when repairs take longer.

I know that is well meaning, but just in this same article it mentions there is a shortage of repair technicians. A 24 hour deadline won't magically get the job done faster if you can't get someone on site that fast.

Say the property owner is notified and schedules a repair within 3 hours, but a part is backordered for 3 weeks. Rough math of (lost rent)+(alternative housing costs) = (liability / 12 months) as a rent increase for tenants. Nobody likes that.

X registered and still owns Twitter according to the USPTO in class 38, 41, and 45.

The payment service applied for class 36, 41, 42. Class 41 is duplicate and a problem..

That said, X will have to prove its use in commerce to renew if contested and has a duty to defend it's brand. If my limited knowledge serves... Best luck.

For backups, I have my usual local copy, but I also have technologically befuddled parents who I "help" with a server running Pi-hole (and other security), their local backups, and we each host remote backups of each other's servers. Works pretty well for us.

As for heat, I mostly use low power equipment, but moved some docker containers to a more powerful server that only warms up when accessed.

Huh, good question. I remember a forward in the book about the difference translations, but I will admit that was back in middle school. I still have the book. Perhaps I'll try to dig it up tomorrow.

I did however find a new translation online that sounds interesting. I remember all the scientific names suuuucked back then and even my copy said something along the lines of "abridged for sake of brevity" on one of his journal entries. Even my translation noped out of that.

There are many ways a book can be rare. First editions, signed copies, and books with little demand. Can't fire up the printers and make those again.

In the case of little demand, I have a book "Two thousand leagues under the seas" not the more common "Twenty thousand leagues under the sea". It's rare in that it's very difficult to find more literal translation than the version we are accustomed with. I suspect search engines simply think I've made a typo. Either way, why print it if there is little demand or can't find the book?

If you are already running Home Assistant, nothing changes and there is nothing you need to do. This only affects new installations of Home Assistant OS. Your existing installation is completely unchanged, keeps the exact port it has always used, and keeps working just as before.

Sounds like it'll work as usual with proxies.

Like actual thermometer or temperature sensor?

I have so sooo many temperature sensors in my network. Thermostats ($15) plant moisture sensors ($3-$6 from overseas but battery) my window AC unit apparently has several sensors home assistant picked up, a cheap air quality monitor, temp/relay units, and a smart humidifier.

Seems a waste to build dedicated hardware when cheap options just bundle temp sensors willy-nilly.
