Outside Lemmy I use Apple News and what I kind of hate about it is even while traveling abroad you’re stuck with US news. I have both English and Spanish languages set up on iOS so being in a Spanish-speaking country, it would be nice to see local news in either language.

I may just go the Aqara route, I gave Z-Wave a shot and wished it were better but I’m really burned out.

The thing I’ll miss is air temperature — I have electric space heaters that are dependent on that. Currently I have a handful of Aeotec MultiSensor 7 that handle that.

I prefer the original too. It’s like the macOS boot sound and Apple trying to get rid of it — it’s too much of a classic.

I like the “ransomware scumbag” language but at the same time, it feels like companies only give a shit about security after an incident.

Counterpoint: I rarely see non-US news posted. I do from time to time here on Lemmy, but it’s very rare.

I might just be in the wrong communities though.

Honestly I just always do this when buying a new iPhone. I have iCloud backups turned on but even with blazing fast Internet restoring from iCloud seems to take forever.

What I hate is I love encrypting my flash drives but every OS prompts you to wipe the drive if it doesn’t recognize the encryption scheme of another. 👎

I drive an Audi (it’s okay, I’m a scumbag), but I 100% agree. And what’s with the people that signal the opposite direction they’re going?

And to stir the pot: stopping in the middle of the street to unload passengers when there’s loads of curbside parking available. Bonus points if they do all this and use their hazards as if that’s a valid use case.

The problem is I need Unbound to send queries via one network interface (the VPN) while the specific zone needs to be routed through another.

I know what split tunneling is, but I have my routing set up exactly as I’d like.

The issue here is that Unbound seems unable to send queries to one forwarding zone using a specific interface/IP address and sending queries to a second forwarding zone using a completely different interface/IP address.

I’m almost at the point where I want to create a virtual interface that just has rules that say “if going to 192.168.143.1 use /dev/tailscale0” and then have a default route to /dev/wg0.

I’m not a professional but my current Tailscale + VPN setup has been extremely nice for the past year.

Distracted driving because it seems like the government completely gave up on enforcing texting while driving laws.

More generally, drivers being completely unaware of their surroundings and causing almost accidents everywhere they go because everyone around them has to correct for them as to not cause an accident.

Annoyingly I go back and forth because whichever pronunciation I’m on sounds worse than when I hear it the other way.

Not sure what the original point was but curiously I happened to use file on a an Apple .numbers file recently and found that it was a .zip file in disguise with zero compression.

So maybe the point was that it’s used often as a container format more often than it’s used for compression? Just my (unrelated) general computer work would also suggest this.

Hard agree, but I see vegans arguing that it is vegan all the time.

My philosophy is that I don’t want to mess with animals simply because I can. It’s that simple.

Just as an example, a lot of vegans will happily eat honey and it never occurred to me in my first year that it could be questionable. I decided on the spot never to consume it again simply because by my logic we’re having to hoard up a bunch of bees and make them produce it for us — only later did I read up on the topic and find all the arguments for/against it — but that didn’t matter to me because I try to keep it that simple.

Hunting is an area I haven’t given much thought. I grew up in a hunting family, shot a deer at five years of age, etc. but never got into it. I know there’s a big debate surrounding it but knowing I don’t want to hunt in the first place I haven’t really read up on it simply because it’s not relevant to me.

Never understood all the hate. Sometimes I actually crave that weird-ass flavor.

Meat processing (for human consumption) because it’s unnecessary for our survival and I personally find it an abhorrent and morally wrong.

Personally speaking, I’ve never been a fan of this method because to the hosting web server it was still fetched. That might confirm that an email address exists or (mistakenly) confirm that the user did in fact follow the link (or load the resource).

I have ad and tracking blocked like crazy (using DNS) so I can’t follow most links in emails anyway. External assets aren’t loaded either, but this method basically circumvents that (which I hate).
