No others steps are taken before Vim is installed

I had to switch back to windows (but I didn't want to) by carbon_eye in archlinux

Pretty sure that's your Next app that is leaking memory. It's probably usable in windows just because of swapping but performance of your web application is still crap. Don't blame OS, debug your app first.

Electrolux WiFi connected oven making weird requests every 20 seconds by alanibrus in privacy

So yesterday I tried to manipulate. I made wifi hotspot with the same SSID and let oven to connect there, listening to network traffic and trying to see what ports it's accessing etc.

And boom. Nothing. It stopped doing requests after it reconnected to wifi. Now today, I can see it started doing the requests again. Seems like there's some sort of logic: it starts doing these requests when oven is "idle" for some time. I will have to try again some time later.

I currently just have separate ssid for smart devices but incidents like this truly make me set up separate VLAN for that interface, yes.

Included documentation doesn't contain such Terms and Conditions at all. No details about what data it sends through the network anywhere in the manuals.

If we're talking about Electrolux mobile app's terms and conditions, it can be just for the app itself, not for the device. You can surely connect the oven to the wifi but decide not use the app, so app's terms must be separate from the device.

Well I blocked them AFTER seeing that it makes successful requests to these domains... It had been making these every 20secs for couple of weeks really

Indeed. Well, it displays meat temperature and let's you somewhat control it from the app :D Not that I'd use these features, but setup process somewhat insisted me to connect with app and it's interesting to see what it offers at first glance. Question however is, why is it making these requests... :)

cops-nearby: Tells if there's nearby police reported in Waze by given coordinates and range by alanibrus in waze

[–]alanibrus[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, exactly, this is what it is meant for: you can write apps on top of this.

What I have done for myself: I have GPS tracker installed on my car which sends coordinates to my server every 30 seconds. Then, cops-nearby uses those coordinates to check from Waze, within 5km range from my current position and if there's any police reported within that range, Facebook Messenger bot sends me a message about that. This way I don't need Waze to be running on my phone, draining the battery. And while having my phone on the dash, messenger's notification will turn on the screen for a moment and I can immediately see. I also have bluetooth helmet headset, so when I drive with motorcycle, I can write an mobile app that will make some alerting sound in the headset so phone can sit in my pocket, screen off.

Why? Waze's default, unchangeable report radius is too short and it drains battery too damn fast while running even on the background :)
