I've been having tons of issues recently with the pinch sensor on my LR3. Basically it'll stop rotating mid cycle and I have to either take it apart and clean the sensor or sometimes just power cycling works.
If that's not an issue on the LR4, I'd be tempted to get one eventually
Others have already mentioned the litter robot, but one automation you might find handy is having HA trigger a robot vacuum to go vacuum the room where the litter boxes are, after it detects a cat using it. It'd help keep litter off the floor if your cats like kicking it out of the boxes.
Also if you're having to clean litter boxes multiple times a day, how many do you have? Iirc the general rule is one litter box for each cat plus one extra, so for 4 cats you should ideally have 5 litter boxes.
You're probably looking for some sort of configuration management tool like chef, ansible, saltstack, or puppet. If you're not already familiar with one, ansible is pretty easy to get started with.
If you're also wanting something that can create the server itself, terraform is great and supports most cloud providers and supervisors.
Are you familiar with lxc or chroots or bsd jails by any chance? If you are, you probably won't find docker that much different to use other than a bigger selection of premade images.
It is kind of sad that some projects are trending towards docker first, but I think learning how to make packages for package managers is also becoming less popular :(
What do you mean by if nothing has changed? Wouldnt this mean someone could physically steal the machine and then boot it up somewhere else and it'd auto decrypt itself?
Nextcloud doesn't sync in the background iirc, but there are 3rd party apps you can use that will. It's great other than that.
I am not sure if syncthing syncs in the background or not, but worth testing. Nextcloud is probably the more complete package but it depends on if you need or want anything of its other features.
If you haven't already, try using one of those wifi analyzer/ scanner apps. Walk around with it and see where your signal is bad, then maybe try repositioning your existing APs to see if you can improve the signal strength?
Have you run into any issues with alpine as the docker host? I thought about converting some of my vms to alpine or something similar too since they mostly just run docker
Lol sorry, I'm probably not explaining it properly.
Corporations are required (by law in a lot of cases) to protect certain information
Corporations also have an interest to ensure their own property isn't misused or abused
Corporations need a way to achieve those two points. Normally this is done by some sort of MITM corporate proxy and maybe some invasive spyware-like software on the machine itself.
Some people absolutely abuse this power and would have no problem reading your personal e-mail, or watching your desktop screen all day. I agree that this shouldn't be a thing and they shouldn't have access without some sort of strict approval process.
But, how is a corporation going to prove that you did or did not send a secure/private document on your work device through your personal e-mail? If you are using your personal email, it won't go through the corporate mail server so they have to rely on either MITM proxies and logs, or something locally on the device. The alternative (no monitoring at all) would lead to situations where data is compromised and the company has no idea why or how, if they even are aware of it at all.
Similarly what if an employee uses their personal email to accidentally download a virus and that virus starts uploading all of the files on the device to a server somewhere? Without any sort of monitoring, that event could go undetected.
If there's an alternative, I'd love to hear about it. But I'll probably always stick to keeping work and personal data separate.
I do have Vault PKI set up but I don't use it that much. It's only if I want to do mTLS with something.
For almost all of my actual services, I use a wildcard cert that covers something like *.int.example.com. I use acme.sh to create and renew the cert then have a python script that copies it to any vms or services that need it
That would conflict with laws that protect your PII/PHI. Are you okay with a doctor saving your health information onto their personal cell phone? Or a bank teller with access to move money between accounts able to do so from their cell phone at a bar while drunk? Or a plastic surgeon posting photos of their patients to social media without their consent?
Corporations suck, but people also suck. Even if there's no malice intended, the average person is bad at personal security and can't really be trusted to protect data that the corporation is legally responsible for protecting.
We should not forfeit our right to privacy
My point from before was that if you want privacy, don't use a device that you don't own. If you're doing something not work related, use your own device and don't use the corporate wifi.
If you want privacy, don't use a work device for personal stuff and don't use a personal device for work stuff.
Corporations are always going to want to monitor their own equipment for data exfil, etc, I don't think any laws are going to tell them not to.
Is there a good way to handle e2e encryption on xmpp? I feel like that is one of the selling points of matrix. Iirc there was an OTR plugin for gaim/pidgin, but I have no idea what's normal these days
