100% this is the best choice for op IMO.

A big pro is that they literally don’t need any Google services whatsoever by the sounds of things

Wait hold on - persistent notifications (where when you swipe, a settings cog icon appears) have been ripped out of A14? Everything disappears when you swipe?

Why 😭

Neat, thanks for the additional insight!

fair point that I didn’t consider! my assumption would be traffic, seeing as the toll is branded as “congestion pricing” - which wouldn’t really make sense for motorcycles because they make up so little of the actual cause of traffic in NYC (large motor vehicles).

If we’re talking about noise though, and how clean the engine burns fuel, motorcycles are 100% guilty as charged IMO.

Deaths and injuries is a little muddier because there are several factors at play, fault could lie on any individual involved in the accident, or maybe even the road design itself. I don’t think these would be robust enough to use as the sole basis for a toll fee

Sounds good overall, should reduce traffic levels significantly and make people consider whether they really need to drive their car in such a compact city.

Not sure if I agree with tolling motorcycles though, they don’t take up anywhere near the same footprint as the average car

Dang, that thing is the bees knees!

Would make more sense to replace just the batteries rather than the whole unit IMO. Looks like it takes standard 12v 7Ah sealed lead acid batteries, so should be doable for under $120 (if you buy them individually and use the existing battery harness)

I have three other UPSes, but none of them are as good as yours lol:

• APC SUA1500RM2U - was a great online rackmount unit, stopped using this a few years back because of its tendency to overcharge batteries without a charge controller ADC calibration mod. It wrecked my last battery pack bad 😭 plan to convert it to LiFePo4 and put it back into service 🤞
• Zigor Ebro - cheap and cheerful line-interactive UPS for the modem, network switch and CCTV cameras. Switchover time is pretty much instantaneous, worth every cent paid and has kept my network up through many outages
• Cyberpower UT650 - A temporary offline UPS to hold the server gear specifically until I get the APC back in service. Honestly not worth the cheap price, the switchover delay is long enough to shut off anything that’s not a server PSU with massive bulk capacitors

Edit: fix bullet list formatting

Free real estate 😂

I’m in the same boat as @shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol, lab has been nice and stable and have nothing to contribute as of yet.

At the beginning of the migration I was popping in and out of r/homelab, but as it stands now I haven’t visited there in ages!

If MIT AppInventor is still kicking around, you should be able to use it for this… although sadly you won’t have access to the source code since it’s a Scratch-like way to create apps.

By default the Android voice assistant uses Google tech AFAIK, if you’re after a truly source-available solution then there’s ”Futo voice input" to handle STT, and “RHVoice” to handle TTS - though these would still need a HTTP API bridge to do what you want

I think so, assuming these malicious packages are all primitive enough to just look for the single file in a user’s home folder lol. The only downside here is needing to provide the keyfile location to ssh every time you want to connect… Although a system search would pretty much defeat that instantly as you mention

SSH keyfiles can be encrypted, which requires a password entry each time you connect to a SSH server. Most linux distros that I’ve used automatically decrypt the SSH keyfile for you when you log in to a remote machine (using the user keyring db), or ask you for the keyfile password once and remember it for the next hour or so (using the ssh-agent program in the background).

On Windows you can do something similar with Cygwin and ssh-agent, however it is a little bit of a hassle to set up. If you use WSL i’d expect the auto keyfile decryption to work comparably to Linux, without needing to configure anything

I think they would start obfuscating the relevant code to get around it

Many ad networks and AABs do something similar (especially Admiral) in an attempt to evade ad blocking extensions

The last time I checked, piped had a button right on the playlist page to export playlists as JSON. You can then switch instances and re-import that data back in

I’m not sure about subscriptions though, only really use piped for watching videos quickly or listening to music playlists

I assume it’s a feature to prevent Android’s memory management from forcefully killing Firefox… for me the tabs don’t unload, but they behave as if the JS running inside them has been frozen/paused.

Maybe installing those tabs as apps via Firefox’s menu will bypass this

I like this, but would really prefer if Google works with the GSMA to get these implemented into the actual RCS specs, rather than using specially crafted proprietary RCS messages to add features to RCS (like they have done for E2EE)

For me it’s the ability to set up a shared instance with the base request URL, and set headers for things like the user’s token, allowing all requests made with that shared Axios instance to be sent to the right path with the token without needing to define them for each individual request.

To be honest though something similar can be done with spread syntax in the Fetch API’s options parameter

it’s got telemetry on by default.

Very, very hard pass. Might even blow out my suspension doing so

Of course its Admiral AAB 😭

Does safari have a reader mode you can use to bypass it? I use a FF extension that allows me to disable all scripts on a page when I come across junk like this.

Alternatively just chuck the link into Wayback or archive.is

A lot of jQuery’s features are now available in native JS - would also suggest just using native JS anyway because jQuery won’t throw any errors into the console if a selector matches no elements etc.

The only additional library I’ve needed recently for (personal work) is Axios for requests - easier than working with the Fetch API in some cases

@PostWatchBot@lemy.lol

Element has added so much to Matrix that the barrier for even making an MVP app is a bit intimidating IMO
