Around a dozen banking apps began specifically permitting GrapheneOS

Unlikely for those that depend on Google Wallet, which is all major banks in NZ if I'm not mistaken

TIL that Firefox Nightly gets snarky about it when you have over 99 tabs open

And a ;) for incognito tabs!

NSW police continued to justify festival strip-searches using drug dogs despite knowing 30% hit-rate, court hears
And nearby, in NZ, we have drug testing tents inside festivals to ensure you're getting what you expect, as well as advice on staying safe.

Reminds me of sosumi, a Linux util for one-click MacOS virtual machines. Sosumi also happens to be the name of the alert/error sound in early MacOS.

Weight distribution is more important - many put a battery pack on the back headrest to offset the weight of the main body. Makes it a lot more comfortable for longer sessions or fast movement.

The original Lemmy shitpost
Reply in thread
Not certain, but I'm guessing it's something to do with how archive.org archives. I'd say it probably captured some JavaScript which uses window.location.host, which would resolve to the original (say lemmy.nz) on the original page but web.archive.org on the snapshot.

What are some FOSS programs that you think are a far better user experience than their counterparts?
Reply in thread
Our webapp is exclusively used on locked-down windows machines, with Edge only. Firefox and Chromium are useful for debugging, but testing and signoff is done in Edge. We use Linux machines for development and test suites, so having Edge available on these systems reduced a lot of complexity in our pipeline.
Anything other than that, Firefox every time.

Prusa releases upgrades for Core One+, Core One L, and XL
Reply in thread
Not delayed AFAIK - just not with "hardened" steel nozzles. They currently have nozzles that are steel and hardened, but not hardened to the level of printing carbon fiber, glass fiber, glow in the dark and other filled materials. ~20HRC vs ~50HRC, where standard brass are ~5HRC.
Personally I'm not doing multicolour and multimaterial with filled materials so not a big deal to me, but it'd be nice to have the option I suppose.
I received my INDX dev kit a few days ago, and I'm currently working through the installation on a Voron 2.4. It's been a lot of fun so far, hopefully using it goes as well. Can't speak for the Prusa side of course but knowing them they have better documentation and support.

As mentioned in another comment, I don't think it's delayed, unless you want an assembled one. They've sold the first batch of upgrade kits, shipping September, with more upgrade kits coming soon and full Core One+ with INDX coming later (as kits and assembled).
If you're itching and want to learn more before getting into toolchangers, the Core One (and One+) announced today are a great place to start, and can be upgraded in the future as newer models release.

Thermostats compatible with selfhosted Home Assistant

+1 for ZigBee - if cost is a factor you can get really cheap ZigBee devices from AliExpress and the like - $10 or less per temperature sensor. Z-wave requires certification for all devices supporting it, so they tend to be more expensive and more limited in variety.
Blakadder's ZigBee Repository is a great resource for verifying device compatibility with your chosen ZigBee integration - ZHA or Zigbee2mqtt. This might depend on your coordinator choice, as some (such as the Home Assistant Gen 1 usb-drive ones) only support ZHA, for example.
For a coordinator, the Home Assistant brand ones are reportedly quite good, especially the second gen one. I personally use a SMLight SLZB-06, reasonably priced and supports power over Ethernet, so I have it wall mounted centrally. I also have my home assistant instance running in a separate building, so something that works over IP was a must.

I mean, it's not an option if it's required by law. As to your second point, I have seen news articles talking about "sponsored recommendations", but nothing as blatant as tv/radio ads. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/360895851/ev-drivers-be-bombarded-incar-adverts

Ferrules - great for terminal blocks, wagos etc. It's just for crimping one - the stripped wire goes into the plastic end, and the metal sheathing is crimped down onto the exposed wire.
