Whatever you do, don’t do the Tim Horton.
For a website called Learn Metrics to give temperatures in Fahrenheit is wild.
How did you retrieve your backups exactly?
these digital IDs are not a replacement for the original physical ones
So, it's basically the same as taking a photo of your passport and keeping that on your phone.
I’m using Strongbox on iOS and macOS with iCloud Sync and never had any merge issue. Well, maybe once when I deliberately edited the same entry on two different devices. But during normal use, the sync and merge works great.
The Bitwarden clients cache your data locally. So even if your Vaultwarden goes down, you’ll still be able to access your passwords. Just not sync new ones or make changes.
I’d throw in option 3: use a KeePass2 database, sync it using whatever sync tool you like (SyncThing, iCloud, NextCloud, WebDAV, …) and use compatible apps (KeepassXC, Strongbox, etc.)
Might need some
undefined
if (ob_get_level()) ob_end_clean();
before the readfile
. 😉
And if you want some customisation, e.g. some repeating string over and over, you can use something like this:
undefined
yes "b0M" | tr -d '\n' | head -c 10G | gzip -c > 10GB.gz
yes
repeats the given string (followed by a line feed) indefinitely - originally meant to type "yes" + ENTER into prompts. tr
then removes the line breaks again and head
makes sure to only take 10GB and not have it run indefinitely.
If you want to be really fancy, you can even add some HTML header and footer to some files like header
and footer
and then run it like this:
undefined
yes "b0M" | tr -d '\n' | head -c 10G | cat header - footer | gzip -c > 10GB.gz
eSIM reccomendations (IOT - UK)
I was going by this thread and this comment. Those other websites are mostly selling SIMs for industrial IoT or CCTV stuff and are either acting as a MVNO (where I don’t know how much influence they have on the network configuration) or probably selling foreign cards with free roaming or something like that.

Fixed IP might be a problem as basically all carriers use CGNAT. From what I could gathergoogle, Three seems to be the only one where you can manually change the APN to 3internet
to get assigned a proper IP address.
It seems there is a way to unlock the classic games using PPSSPP’s cheat feature: https://old.reddit.com/r/Roms/comments/ozz4mu/looking_for_castlevania_the_dracula_x_chronicles/h838yfm/
If you’ve got a slow-ish SD card and a game that compresses very well, then this might be the case. But with a modern card from e.g. SanDisk or Samsung with U3 and A2 certifications, this probably won’t do that much.
Get an OBD2 adapter. If you're on Android, a cheap ELM327-clone with Bluetooth will do. If you're on iOS, you'll need one with WiFi. There are apps (Android: Torque Pro, iOS: OBD Fusion) to read out any error codes and they can also give you the values from all the different sensors. Helps a lot with troubleshooting.
And BTRFS with compression and deduplication are great to save space.
I’m not sure I’d go as far as replacing the file system. There’s a plethora of tools to do deduplication on ext4 as well. Albeit manually (or via cronjob).
Also, btrfs seems to be slower for random reads than ext4. At least that was the case back in 2019.
You should now use the NHS App for viewing your medical records, viewing test results and documents, and requesting repeat prescriptions. Appointments can be booked using our website. We are no longer using the eMed app.
This gives basically no headaches at all. I am running this schema on all my Linux devices. And swap is done using a swapfile instead of a partition. This way, you can easily increase it later on.
Ohh, SQLite isn't "one" db. SQLite is file-based. I.e. a database in e.g. PostgreSQL (containing several tables, views, indexes, etc.) would translate to one SQLite file (e.g. mydatabase.db3
or myappdata.sqlite
). And each app has its own file/database. If the file corrupts, then it's only affecting that specific app. (However, SQLite is pretty robust.) And since these are just files, you can backup them together with the application. No need to export data or shutdown the database first.
There are smart valves. You can just unscrew/unclip the existing dumb ones and replace them with smart ones. They usually even report the temperature (well, near the radiator - so you might want to get extra temp sensors for the other end of the room).

Selfhosted Trakt.tv alternative?
Now with Trakt doing their best to get rid of their non-paying users, I'm looking for self-hosted alternatives to track my movie/show catalog and my progress in watching it.
So far, I've found:
- devfake/flox - the original, hasn't been updated in 5 years
- Simounet/flox - fork of flox - started further development early 2024, added ActivityPub, reviews and some more features
- MediaTracker - "highly inspired by flox" and also tracks books and computer games
These all come with (one-way) Plex integration to track what you're watching.
Before trying all the other ones mentioned in MediaTracker's README - is anybody using one of those already? Or some similar product?
