The mentioned products have had major releases recently. Has anything major happened with Proxmox recently?

I’m confused as to why T-Mobile is on that list but neither AT&T nor Verizon are.

Who actually cares about this, though?

I’d love to see an integration with PhotoStructure in addition to Immich.

Their products are still solid. Any brand can have issues with their batteries (other companies use the same cells), and I don’t see a reason to avoid their non-battery products like cables and chargers.

I’ve got a PowerCore 20000k (20Ah). I wonder why the 10Ah version is “fire-prone” but the 20Ah version isn’t.

And no, it’s not random.

In that case, the data is practically meaningless :D

I don’t know how participants in polls are selected, so I’m not really qualified to make assumptions about it.

don’t use their DNS

As long as you use encrypted DNS, like DoH (DNS over HTTPS). Regular DNS is unencrypted, so the ISP can trivially collect data even if you use a custom recursive server (either your own or a public one like Cloudflare, Quad9, etc).

Running a recursor on a VPS then querying it using DoH seems like a reasonable approach to me. I’ve got an AdGuard Home server on my home network that uses DoH for all upstream DNS queries, but I’m currently just using Quad9 rather than my own recursor.

You really don’t need to survey many people to get statistically significant results, assuming your sample is truly random. For a population of 340 million, you only need to randomly sample ~2500 people to get a 95% confidence interval with a 2% margin of error.

A sample of 9000 people would get you closer to a 99%+ confidence interval.

How’s it compare to Hoarder/Karakeep?

Because of various privacy legislation, and people not wanting Google to track them as much, they stopped syncing the data to Google servers. As someone who’s worked at big tech companies, my guess would be that storing so many people’s location history was flagged as an issue during a privacy audit.

It’s entirely local now. You can enable encrypted backups and back up the data, however you can really only have the data on one device now, and the web version is gone.

(no taxes on charities).

What type of taxes are you talking about?

That’s what the name means :D
CR2032 is 20mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick.

Some smart home devices use the CR2450 rather than the CR2032.

If you pay for a device, you should be able to do whatever you want with it. Apple having so much control over it means that you don’t fully own it.

CR2450 has nearly 3x the capacity of the CR2032 (620mAh vs 225mAh) so the benefit of using it is that you’ll have to replace it far less frequently.

They have their systems only they use, therefore they can easily make them on Linux or emulate.

Also, a lot of systems are web-based (and therefore automatically multi-platform) these days.

It’s usually fine if you stick to a good well-known brand, but there’s some cheaper cameras that are bootleg clones of other brands, that can’t run the latest upstream firmware so they’re stuck on a hacked/modified version of older firmware.

The good Chinese brands, if they do have a hard-coded password, usually make you change it on first login. I’m pretty sure newer Hikvision and Dahua models do this (plus their resellers/rebrands like Amcrest, Lorex, Annke, etc). You need to pay more than the garbage brands, but they’re worth it.

Of course, there’s all sorts of junk on Amazon that don’t follow any sort of standards.

It can get cold if you’re protesting at night, so don’t forget to keep warm by wearing a face covering 😊
