honestly, I have always had pretty decent experiences with non-oem lead-acid batteries. my local battery place has a decent supply and longevity is roughly the same as the oem ones (3-4 years). I have never had any issues (type or frequency) that were not also an issue with oem batteries.

almost no UPS mfcr makes their own batteries, so if you strip off the labeling from the oem ones, you may even find an exact replacement.

edit: another advantage of a local place is the core-return rebate and disposal of your old batteries.

the attack should only have insight into the abstracted storage provided by the browser, so your idea of a virtual device that spits out random timing results is probably reasonable.

the issue is that timing being random, in and of itself, is a potential fingerprint when combined with other data from your browser - unless everyone is doing it as well.

all I can say is I give thanks for noscript every single day.

yup. there is no scenario in which iran does not extract monetary compensation for strategic control over a resource that the US village idiot intends to hang us all with.

capitalists and rope, man.

in-line all your code and avoid the linker :-)

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

agreed, upvoted. for our current reality, this tracks.

any suggestions on enclosure or room temp/humidity sensors? PoE network connected would be ideal, but USB works as well (cheap, simple). polling/transformation of data will ultimately be done by a raspi 3b.

open software/hardware is highly desirable and, as long as data is structured, I can transform as needed for insertion into a zabbix backend.

thanks for any recommendations :-)

 

We used to think Mimas was a dead world, famous only for the massive crater that gives the moon an uncanny resemblance to the Death Star. But in 2024, scientists discovered a secret hidden beneath its battered shell: a vast, liquid ocean we didn’t know existed.

have enjoyed this quite a bit. its funny, science-y and a great downtime listen with a nice hhgttg feel. production will hopefully continue with a little more attention.

I have noticed recently (perhaps within the last 6-12 months?) that I can hit many major sites via Tor with JavaScript off. there are a few that reject Tor connections or render illegibly - but, for many mainstream sites, things are actually pretty reasonable. fingerprinting and personal threat models aside, this seems like a positive move and feels different from e.g. 2 years ago.

am I slowly going insane? has anyone else noticed this? tested over time via orbot and classic Tor nodes with various hardened and non-hardened browsers and DNS resolvers.

 

super tight fit and I had to shear off a tiny tab on the wiper blade to complete the install, however its all good and solid.

wife gave me the "damn, you're useful" smile. good times.

just updated to the v0.0.35 f-droid build and jerboa started to consistently crash at seemingly random times. likewise, I would get web UI error notifications while using the web frontend.

did a little testing and noticed that it may be related to the "show avatars" setting being enabled.

turning "show avatars" off and saving the settings seems to have eliminated the issues on both web and app.

will continue to test and update the post if needed. any others able to confirm or refute this particular issue might be helpful.

edit: there are still crashes related to editing a post, but crashes while scrolling through posts and comments seem to be much reduced. any feedback is welcome.

edit2: further poking suggests the underlying cause may be jerboa not handling server response timeouts well. turning off avatars may reduce the number of API calls and therefore the number of potentially mishandled timeouts. crash frequency is likely variable as a result of variable server load. if others also experience reduced crash frequency with avatars turned off then I can either create a github issue or add info to an existing one.

 

sorry about the quality - was stopped (safety first) but dealing with poor picture taking conditions.

 

Just checked the Jerboa git and...

Had to document it for posterity.

 

I know that many of us already know this, but it should repeated as often as needed.

we are the network -- the network is us.

social is nothing without the interactions that we create. reddit was just a place; a place that, because of a centralized power dynamic, abused us all.

we have are now at a cultural juncture, an opportunity to bring back what each of us knows to be true. our interactions do not need to capitalized, marketed and sold.

we are not products. we are the network.

please, find communities that even mildly interest you or catch you eye, join them and comment on posts.

just had this conversatin with the wife and she is joining Lemmy to start her own federated social journey.

pretty please... we need a samwise "share the load" meme for Lemmy instances, and it should be pinned far and wide.

mememasters... do your thing.
