Smart Lights It is great to be able to control the light. Make it bright and cold for cleaning or work, dim it and make it warm for cozy evenings. Wake up by slowly increasing the light instead of burning your eyes in the morning with the power of 1000 suns. Even those Philips Hue Kits are not that expensive, but there are even cheaper alternative bulbs out there. Look for Zigbee, they are all kind of compatible.
HomeAssistant Get a cheap thinclient or raspberry pi (~100€). Set everything up. Control your smart stuff with an awesome privacy friendly interface and build automations you couldn't even dream about a few years back (like "Water the lawn, but not if rain is predicted")
robot vacuum Why should i vacuum my house when there is a robot totally capable of doing it?
3D printer Sounds a little bit crazy, but you can buy a 3D printer at ~150€+ and it's awesome to print little custom fixes and stuff for your home. Is there some ugly gap or device somewhere? Print a custom cover. Broke something? Print the replacement part.
You might want to take a look at https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/ . That's exactly what you want, but without Docker. It uses Proxmox / LXC / VMs and is really, really awesome for selfhosting.
This will hide every post which has the words "Trump" OR "Musk" OR "puppies" in the title. Or if you don't use Apple devices and don't want to read about their new devices in every tech community:
They downloaded the torrents from Annas Archive, which are standing at ~500TB currently. Keep in mind that you're dealing not only with text, but also with books scanned as images, books with lots of illustrations, scientific articles with illustrations and also comic books.
Be careful there: The big publishers are watermarking the articles you're downloading. So if you're uploading them to SciHub, you can get into trouble. Inform yourself and remove the watermarks
First of all: Nozzles are replacable and they are also cheap. They are also wearing down with time. So if you worry, just replace the nozzle. And if you want to know if there is still filament stuck in there, unscrew the noozle and look at it.
This basically means that OpenAI has a trained model that is able to change political viewpoints. Which also means that this model is available to the Trump administration.
Yeah, the vibe shift is extreme. You can attribute some of it to the general vibe shift everywhere - of course the vibes are getting back when the Trump administration is starting to wreck havoc everywhere. But Reddit is taking this to the extreme - if you take a look at the standard frontpage, there is so much senseless ragebait and screenshots of Tweets of stupid, unimportant people. Videos of random idiots for you to be infuriated over. The fun really has left Reddit - I still remember a time where you could see funny memes and really interesting stuff instead of this.
You're right. I'm not from the USA and I'm not living paycheck-to-paycheck, but having ~6 months of expenses as savings is manageable. That depends on your situation, income, number of children, of course. Will be problematic when you're earning in the lower income brackets, but for most people that should be a little bit under 10.000€ here in Germany.
There are a lot and in most cases you'll notice when dealing with Americans, who are refusing to do stuff like the rest of the world. The meter and kilogram took over from hundreds of different measurement standards. Most of the world is using the same calendar and writes dates in the same way. Most countries are driving on the same side. Traffic signs are kind of the same worldwide. You can buy screws with the same standard everywhere.
It's actually quite simple - not sure how it does work under the hood, but take a look at your documents. Every insurance, employer or company has its own letterhead with logo, contact information and legalese. You just tell paperless on one document "hey, that is my insurance, please tag everything like this as insurance" and it will do that.
I'm really happy that the community stepped up and continued his great work.
