Ooooh, that makes much more sense, thank you!

Where I live, smoke detectors come with a guarantee that the (9v) battery will keep them operational for at least 10 years.

When the battery is low on charge, they start beeping in regular intervals and from when the beeping starts it still takes a year or two for them to run out. Which you will surely notice at some point when you’re at home.

So I don’t really understand why someone would need a notification.

I guess a notification could be nice if you have a hearing deficiency, but instead you could make a calender apointment to replace them in 8 years just to be safe.

The alternative is getting smart smoke detectors that are compatible with home assistant and that know their own battery level.

Edit: this last bit still applies and is one way to do it

Then you’d need to selfhost home assistant on some always on device. And buy compatible smoke detectors.

I wasn’t able to find it online. It came with the house.

It is a flat key that has grooves, normal teeth on the edges, two parallel rows of sparse dimples on the top and two balls that can sink and rise, one large one small.

If anybody knows where to buy more of these, let me know. I only found ones that have some of those features, but not all at once.

I can’t share a photo nor company name since I am out of town for a while and I stored it away. It was some european b2b manufacturer iirc.

Put them into an opensearch database. It is the open source fork of elasticsearch. It has an sql plugin so you can retrieve the raw data the usual way. And there is probably also an integeation/library for it if you use any major framework/language in the backend.

But on top of it you get a very performant full text search. This might come in handy for example when you remember a sentence from a story, or if you want to find all stories with a specific character name or word for whatever reason.

You could already do that by just taking a photo of the key, or using a pen and paper, or press it in a piece of cheese. Basically, half of the stuff one already has at hand could be used to achieve the same goal.

Also I am glad that my keys/locks have security features from the current millenium. Makes it a pain to pick or duplicate (yes even non maliciously, the local locksmith needed to order specially stuff just for me when I needed an extra key)

Just to give you some extra impressions:

My brain mixes up all letters with the same/similar form (regardless of rotation or flip) - so I often mix up [d, b, p, q] or [a, e] or [u, n] when typing. And then I read the command 20 times over until I find which letter got mixed up, because my brain autocorrects to the right command when reading.

It helped to use the Dyslexie font in the terminal, because it makes those shapes more unique distinct. (not to be confused with open dyslexic which did not help me at all).

Also asking an AI to correct the command is huge, but takes time.

But man GUI has none of the hassle, it says what the button will do when you click it, so you click it and it does that. How wonderful is that, ay?

Yeah it sucks.

If I wanna shoot myself, let me shoot myself. Maybe I’m into that. Who are you to judge whats good for me?

Did they actually selfhost their podcast? Or did they use some 3rd party distributor?

Oh, it was supposed to be rage bait. I actually thought it was quite funny.

I recognized myself from a decade ago and this post quite a bit. It uhh didn’t go very well until through years of suffering I figured out the perfect setup for me and how to properly deal with all the little issues.

I know it sounds dumb but my Ubuntu used to break like every six months and I had to always reinstall it.

Yeah, but it runs in a browser, chokes on larger projects and Ivan is an asshole.

Unintuitive.

I heard of photoshop when I was 13 and I installed a pirated version, just started clicking around and I always found what I wanted in a minute.

10 Years later, I switch 100% to Linux, I have to do some light design work, I open gimp - I CLICK AROUND FOR HALF AN HOUR FOR SOMETHING SIMPLE - can’t find it to save my life. Give up and google it, it gives me a reply like yours “just go to a completely unrelated menu to conjure a hack out of your ass that barely resembles what you originally intended to do”.

Fuck that UX man. I am so glad pirated photoshop works well in wine nowadays and I have a VM with a legit Adobe suite if I ever need to actually whip up my license for some reason (fuck adobe as well btw.)

I pray that one day there is a real competitor that works natively on Linux. I pay, take my hard earned money every month, whatever it takes, just make it intuitive and reach near feature parity with PS.

If anybody is still reading, sorry for venting, the GIMPs always trigger me, have a nice day.

Usually there is also online payment providers like Stripe, Adyen, Square, which process the credit card payment and thus get your data - not only the bank and creditcard provider.

Copied crowdsec reply from the mastodon thread:

tldr: OP misunderstood a bug/usererror as a new limiting policy

Hey Laurence from CrowdSec Support here.

We don’t store logs, so I assume you’re referring to alerts. Based on the screenshot you provided, the most likely reason you’re not seeing any alerts is that they may fall outside the currently selected date range. You can try clicking the magnifying glass icon next to the date picker to remove the filter, which should display all available alerts.

That said, there is a known issue we’re actively fixing—clicking on the date picker may trigger an error. If removing the filter doesn’t work, let me know, and once the fix is live, I’ll be happy to ping you so we can investigate further.

Regarding alert retention, the community tier has always had a limit—either 500 alerts or seven days, whichever comes first. With the new system, we now retain alerts for both the current and previous month, up to 500 per month, effectively doubling the total alert capacity to 1,000. If you’re primarily interested in real-time alerts, keep in mind that the CrowdSec console is designed for alert retention and ease of use, with additional features. Alternatively, for those who prefer a fully customized setup, we provide extensive documentation on integrating CrowdSec with Prometheus and Grafana for self-hosted monitoring.

I understand the frustration, and I appreciate the feedback. However, it’s important to consider that CrowdSec is built and maintained by a dedicated team of around 30 people. While open-source, over 95% of contributions come directly from our team, whether for the hub or various CrowdSec components. Ensuring the long-term sustainability of the project requires balancing free community access with the resources needed to maintain and improve the platform.

Happy to discuss more via email or on this thread, as we truly value feedback and want to ensure every voice is heard across various platforms.

If it’s free - you’re the product

(not applicable to opensource or similar ofc)

wtf man, the eyes are all drawn inside their faces

Thanks for sharing! Thats good to know info.

Not on topic but do you mind explaining the Pine64 breakage?

I am running a lot of their products and a soquartz cm module broke for me as well, I am hoping the rest will hold on for a long time.

The error suggests that you’re trying to mount a file (Caddyfile) onto a directory or vice versa. Let’s debug this step by step.

Steps to Fix:

1. Check if the path exists and is correct Run:

   ls -ld /home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile
   

   • If it’s a directory, it should be a file instead.
   • If it doesn’t exist, create an empty one:

     touch /home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile
     

2. Ensure correct permissions

   chmod 644 /home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile
   

3. Check YAML Formatting
   Your docker-compose.yml seems to have incorrect indentation and improper quotes around version. Here’s a fixed version:

   version: "3.3"
   
   networks:
     caddy:
   
   services:
     portainer:
       image: portainer/portainer-ce:latest
       container_name: portainer2
       restart: unless-stopped
       security_opt:
         - no-new-privileges:true
       volumes:
         - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
         - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
         - /home/Joe/containers/portainer/portainer-data:/data
       networks:
         - caddy
       ports:
         - 9000:9000
   
     caddy:
       image: caddy:latest
       restart: unless-stopped
       container_name: caddy
       ports:
         - 80:80
         - 443:443
       volumes:
         - /home/Joe/container/caddy/Caddyfile:/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
         - /home/Joe/container/caddy/site:/srv
         - /home/Joe/container/caddy/caddy_data:/data
         - /home/Joe/container/caddy/caddy_config:/config
       networks:
         - caddy
   

4. Restart Docker and Try Again

   docker compose down
   docker compose up -d
   

If the error persists, check docker logs caddy for additional hints.
