this round trips the entire file body on every mutation?

What happens if two concurrent mutation requests come in?

webdav? https://github.com/fstanis/awesome-webdav?tab=readme-ov-file

apparently, macOS and Windows still support this protocol

Certain minimum knowledge is required if you don’t want to be low hanging fruit for criminal botnet operators who will use your system to launch attacks.

You can’t also beg/complain about tools “made for you” not existing - if they’re not already there, it may mean the problem can’t be reduced to appliance-user level.

If you’re building such a tool, why ask? Get uptake rate and user feedback data.

Ecobee units have a power splitter that will let you run with a 4-wire setup (standard Heat/Cool/Fan/Common)

Full unix mode is probably easier than working up some kind of sandboxing mechanism that accepts arbitrary scripts/binaries.

As far as nice to the eye, you can spin up a python FastAPI site and frontend in about 10 minutes with Claude Code

probably because they already own it.

use some file system with snapshots and differential backups, like ZFS, and snapshot it daily. Stream the diffs somewhere they can’t login to and which doesn’t mount the FS.

This will invariably save their bacon at some point.

Lemmy.ml seems to have a clone of most of the “top reddits”, somehow the most subscribed communities out there, and all dominated by one or two posters who post pro-China/pro-DPRK/anti-Western content all day long.

It definitely is going to confuse newcomers and make a bad first impression. I wonder if they auto subscribe people to those so their propaganda ends up at the top of the communities list.

Part of the solution is to better inform new users the part of the community name is the host, just like Main St in one city is different from Main St in another city. You choose the city you want to live in first.

But, it may also be interesting to have the ability for admins to selectively merge like-named communities with other agreeable instance admins, and count subscribers to both as one group.

The thought of going through all of my storage boxes to catalog hundreds or thousands of items so that I might search for them one day via a web UI seems a lot less productive than simply knowing that old USB supplies are in the “USB junk” box and Christmas decorations are in the “Christmas decorations” box

You built a spambot?

I gave up on cute or clever names a while ago; now I go with “storage0”, “router0”, “wap00”, “vmhost0”. Always with a numeric suffix because there will be a -1, -2 some day.

Zigbee or Zwave temperature/humidity sensors are common. Add a 3-circuit relay box and you can simulate the behavior of pretty much any thermostat with a few rules.

HA or any other system that can toggle outputs based on sensor thresholds would work just fine.

there are some subtleties with real HVAC thermostats, like running your AC compressor at least five minutes and ensuring that it stays off for at least 5 minutes when it’s turned off.

Both my Google and At&t gigabit fiber plans have been symmetric and post about 850-900mbit both ways.

Cable (DOCSIS) customers will always have lower UL because of the limited shared upload channel compared to multiple bonded download channels.

ADSL customers are in a similar situation, with the modems configured to allocate 90% of the channel to downstream (which makes sense for the vast majority of users).

Cellular customers will always have lower UL because of handset power/antenna limitations and transmit power ranging.

fuck I just bought a new iPhone
