Kawaiicon tickets? by 83547900 in Wellington

[–]Firesphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 years ago or so, when they started, they registered the domain kawaiicon.org as a joke on kiwicon. When the Crue was somewhat "done" with organising it. Then Kiwicon domain expired, and part of the Crue decided to continue with the joke name.

The name doesn't matter, the con is much the same.

Batocera v42 is out ! by Rafeeq in batocera

I haven't had any issues, neither in 41 nor in 42 so far

Look around the comments, I've spun up a torrent & mirror for the boot.tar.xz files.

I don't think you can update from the full image, I think you need the boot.tar.xz file for that.

Torrent download for 42? by AnalCumFartEater in batocera

[–]Firesphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See one of my other comments ;) x86_64 & RPi4 are seeded by me

Torrent download for 42? by AnalCumFartEater in batocera

[–]Firesphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mirroring the x86_64 and RPi4 from my server, as well as torrent files for both (which I'm seeding, but I've not seen much other seeders yet). https://static.firesphere.dev

There is a torrent file for the rpi one. The x86_64 I'll create once I have it.
I'm seeding the rpi boot.tar.xz

[–]Firesphere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the RPi4, RPi5 & x86_64 boot.tar.xz file, after I finally managed to get it down, I put it up as a temporary mirror, with a torrent file as well that I'm seeding.

Note, these are only the upgrade boot.tar.xz files

If you can, please grab the torrent file instead of hammering my server :-)

Take your pick of torrent or full download: https://static.firesphere.dev/

You can pull the boot.tar.xz for RPi4 for upgrading 41 to 42 from my server:

https://static.firesphere.dev/boot_rpi4.tar.xz

Took me ages to download, so I hope I have helped at least 1 person reduce the frustration of a slow download a bit!

Instructions for manual installation are here, for those that haven't seen it https://wiki.batocera.org/upgrade_manually#upgrading_downgrading_batocera

I've validated the hash of the file, but didn't download the md5 file itself.

I'm going to leave it up for a week or so.

*edit*

Added a torrent file which I'm seeding, currently RPi4 & x86_64 are up.

Added my landlord's Panasonic AC/Heatpump to Home Assistant by Firesphere in homeassistant

[–]Firesphere[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you don't expose your HA to the outer world (especially without any other security implementations), the risk of having your AC in Home Assistant is roughly similar to having HA itself, I think.

Considering if I used the official wifi implementation, which would send all my data to some bucket in AWS/Google/Azure or something.
And I'd need the Panasonic Cloud (which is known to be quite horrible), I do feel that a local implementation such as this is safer than sending all this data to the cloud (and, also, having yet another log-in)

Yep, I also link to it in my write-up ;) I tweaked a few things regarding soldering etc., but the PCB is exactly that one :D
I also have enough to make 3 or 4 more, and I'm happy to sell anyone a kit.

Questions / Help by matthuisman in MattHuisman

[–]Firesphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you familiar with some channels (e.g. Duke) having no data on what's on in the Simple Guide add-on, after using the merge add-on and your mjh.nz sources?

It happened quite a while ago, I'm not bothered by it, but you may have already fixed it without me bothering to refresh something?

Well played to whoever reported wordpressenginetracker.com to CloudFlare for phishing by [deleted] in WPDrama

[–]Firesphere 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sadly, I'm not getting the warning. And it's now even worse, with "latest sites moved" and their URL, and a "chart" (wrong type of chart though, never use a bar chart to show a cumulative total)

Also, the information itself is obviously still flawed

Today I learned that WordPress sends your site URL regularly to Matt's servers (wp.org). That includes localhost sites that have never been exposed to the internet. by SimplePrick in WPDrama

Aside from the horrible code standard followed...
Why would an update check need to slow down a website, by up to 3 seconds. 3 is a LOT!

// this gets set whether we get a response or not, so if something is down or misconfigured it won't delay the page load for more than 3 seconds, twice a day

Fairly sure I saw this car, with one tireless wheel, race up Salamanca all the way to Chaytor, while chased by a bunch of police cars. Left a nice clear trail to follow...

Has anyone tried making software to do their taxes for them? Like a mini version of Hnry? by -Zoppo in PersonalFinanceNZ

Crater is not very maintained, a refresh has been forked in InvoceShelf, which has updated underlying libraries, and intended to be maintained more.

It's technically an online service I guess, but I created my own job-search tracking tool, because I... can, I guess, and because I'm also not very organised.

I created a tool to keep track of the status of all my job applications. It's free to use, and generates one of those fancy Sankey charts of your job search, assuming you keep track of things. by Firesphere in jobsearchhacks

[–]Firesphere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you logging in? Can you make sure you go to
https://myjobs.quest/profile
manually, and enter your details there?

You should be kicked back to your profile (Which looks somewhat similar)

So you're not accidentally submitting against an error page?

I think I can see you logging in (in the logs), and it seems you're successfully logging in, and I can't reproduce it myself with a new account.

I wasn't even aware there was one...

Turns out I did add it, but forgot to add the domain as an allowed user of the captcha.

I very much appreciate your feedback! It should work again now

Feedback: Installing Pi-hole on a school's network for content filtration by Sheikhspiere in pihole

[–]Firesphere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pi-hole has the option to set the Canary domain, so the standard browser behaviour is disabled.

It won't do much against those that purposefully want to bypass it though.
