The future of aussie.zone...
Thankyou so much for running this space. If you need help with the tech side of adminning, I'd be happy to give a hand. I'll keep an eye out for a post around how I can contribute to the ongoing server costs.

KB, MB, GB, and TB are all part of the metric system. What empirical measurements should we Free™️ Americans use for computer memory?

I like this because the amount of bits in a stack can vary depending on whose foot you use to measure, or the thickness of the card stock.

Watch out for this scam
I'd love to know the technical reasoning for this. It probably has to do with clock frequency multipliers like when doing serial comms your baud needs to be pretty close to the spec but it's pretty much never going to be exact.

That, and also "there's already regulations, kids, we ain't changing shit"
The takeaway for me is that game companies are just gonna put something in their TOS that explicitly says the game will only remain playable until they decide to give up on it.
So they've really ignored the point of the petition huh

Intel has finally tracked down the problem making 13th- and 14th-gen CPUs crash
How does a little bit of extra voltage result in "oxidation" inside a sealed package? Is this a media spin way of saying they borked the microcode and fried some chips?

Are Tuya local keys permanent (like a MAC address)?
I have a few devices I've connected via Tuya Local. The key seems to change upon removing/re-adding to an account. Definitely not burnt-in like a MAC address.
In the past I've just re-installed the Tuya app when I've added a new device, but I also have concerns about Tuya disabling local control in future so I'm trying to avoid Tuya stuff and run esphome instead where possible.

Calibre's Amazing News Feature
I don't enjoy how Calibre works. The way it manages its library in a folder separate to where/how I store my ebooks rubs me the wrong way. It also seems to like adding itself to metadata and messing with stylesheets.
I gotta admit though, nothing else even comes close to replacing it.

Any experience with Pangolin?
Reply in thread
I think Pangolin works a bit differently... Correct me if I'm wrong...
Where headscale is a coordination server for a wireguard mesh, pangolin is a reverse proxy server that connects to the backend services via wireguard tunnels
