Sounds a lot like getting used to time zones. Just get used to it being 3pm there when it’s 6pm here

It makes some things hard and some things easier. For example, you can more easily defend against DoS attacks because there’s just more targets.

But decentralized makes it easier for bot manipulation because you can hide your actions across multiple users on different instances and those instances can’t easily identify bot signatures like IP addresses to ban many accounts.

Google is doing this because they have incentives to do so. They want to block malicious actors like attack their platforms.

Other companies want to lock down their own apps because they don’t think users should be permitted to do anything other than use their apps exactly as they want.

I don’t like it as a user, but I also see the reason why companies want this by being on the security side of software.

This is the future of the Big Tech Internet if we’re not careful. Attestation to be able to use communications and other websites.

bash doesn’t have a main function either and no one is fucking complaining.

I don’t complain about Bash’s lack of features because I choose not to write Bash scripts and instead use saner languages.

I used to work in Amazon (left after 10 years because it wore me down), but it wasn’t that compartmentalized.

I’m sure there were some teams that were like that but I could easily find another team, open a ticket, get a response and see their on calls investigate the issue. It was often times possible to look at their service metrics and source code to see if I could find the problem myself.

Support just can’t share that info because they don’t know what is considered a trade secret or internal detail vs what is public.

I’ve used Brultech in a house before. It’s not very user friendly to setup having to download some different firmware flashing tools and configure everything in a brittle web UI that only allows one browser tab at once. But it does have Ethernet, comes with a variety of different CT clamps. The donut style CT clamps are very compact making it easy to fit them into a electrical box. Don’t use the built-in one, use the HACS integration. The different sizes make me think that the Brultech is probably more accurate than the Emporia with only a single size.

I ended up going with Emporia Vue2 for my own house given the complexity and my house layout not really permitting the Brultech’s install.

Containers can provide SBoMs too and in comparison to HA OS, which is what the comment was referring to, container and core give you better control over the application allowing for more security mechanisms. Comparing container vs core for security is interesting cause container gives you some security features for free like seccomp, cap drops, namespacing, etc. which you don’t get for free with core.

I find the claim that core is more secure than a container because it has an SBoM as dubious, but maybe you’re talking generally about containers vs distro package managers, which is a different point, but SBoM isn’t the only thing that makes some secure/stable.

Nope. Docker and Home Assistant OS will be the only supported installation strategies

No, it’s electrical code. Standard outlets can’t be used to supply power because it means you have a plug that has exposed wires commonly called suicide wires. While these balconey top solar likely use grid following so it has to detect a grid voltage, the electrical code doesn’t consider it AFAIK. This rule is for safety and because it would only power half your house because there’s only one leg per 110 outlet.

We’re asymptotically approaching the opening date

First thing you should do is read the bylaws. There should be some that define how the HOA should operate when it was incorporated. You don’t want to break any bylaws. For two units I doubt it’s that big of a document. You also should also get organized about all docs and record keeping especially if you have any sort of finances.

My understanding thus far is that we should build up our funds and then put some of that money in CDs and brokerage accounts, eventually

I don’t know how much big of a budget you’re going to have, but with larger HOAs like mine, we have operating costs and reserve expenses both with their own accounts. Reserve is for long term expenses like you need a new roof. Operating for paying things like shared landscaping. Reserve studies can help you identify how much time until you need to replace the roof or the siding or whatever other things are common with your building.

Don’t invest in the stock market, but at a certain account size CDs for long term investments are a good idea. We use that to help offset dues increases.

It doesn’t have to be complicated but you are technically running a business.

Is it different than how a country would protect other infrastructure like government buildings, hospitals, other electrical grid infrastructure, dams, etc.?

You might behind a shared IP with NAT or CG-NAT that shares that limit with others, or might be fetching files from raw.githubusercontent.com as part of an update system that doesn’t have access to browser credentials, or Git cloning over https:// to avoid having to unlock your SSH key every time, or cloning a Git repo with submodules that separately issue requests. An hour is a long time. Imagine if you let uBlock Origin update filter lists, then you git clone something with a few modules, and so does your coworker and now you’re blocked for an entire hour.

is authenticated like when you use a private key with git clone

Yes

also this might be terrible if you subscribe to filter lists on raw github in ublock or adguard

Yes exactly why this is actually quite problematic. There’s a lot of HTTPS Git pull remotes around and random software that uses raw.githubusercontent.com to fetch data. All of that is now subject to the 60 req/hr limit and not all of it will be easy to fix.

Ask yourself what is clean code? Is it something you read in a book? Does using a pattern help or hurt? Write more code. Learn different languages and how paradigms different in each language and framework. Take some of those things you learned and decide which ones you can apply in new frameworks and projects and which ones don’t.

Not sure what you’re trying to solve, but there are some other tricks you can employ to get matches.

You could substring match like “size” in “size_of_foo”

Or use Levenshtein distance to find typoed names. Though set the acceptable distance very low for this

Could feed the names into an LLM and ask it to classify them. I did this at a job to identify likely column name mappings

But at the end of the day if this is for an import feature, you need to have a user confirm the import because there’s a lot that could go wrong, like did you get the right encoding? Are numbers encoded the way you expect?

It means let’s take a closer look at a problem or project. Sounds like a Microsoftism

My Framework laptop uses fwupd for all the firmware. I was pleasantly surprised when I plugged in my Logitech receiver and it told me there was an update for the receiver.

Another one I’ve used with limited success is ecapture. It can be tricky to debug processes in Docker because you need the ecapture executable with enough permissions to tap the process while also being able to see the libraries that the container uses.

I’ll put this to use and see how well it works.
