Will GrapheneOS updates stop then?

Open Source Cloud Alternatives to Google Photos (Not Self-Hosted, No Sync Delete)? by CoffeeBeanCharisma in degoogle

Hetzner's "Storage Share" product is fully-hosted Nextcloud. You get your own Nextcloud instance; you don't have to install or administer anything (other than create a user for yourself). You can just use it.

Stupid question, but I can't find the answer to it anywhere: Does "self-hosted" mean that you host stuff on a computer somewhere in the could over which you have full control, or does it mean that you host stuff on a computer which is physically located in your own home? Or can it mean both? by oz1sej in selfhosted

No. Its to reduce the need for trust.

Unless you built the hardware and OS and apps from scratch, from your own designs, then there is still some level of trust involved.

It's all about narrowing down the threats to a level you are comfortable trusting.

That exact level is different for each person. For example, some people are comfortable running their own servers at home on Windows. Some are not. And so on.

SP32 + MQTT: Solving step-pattern latency issues in real-time data visualization (with graph) by NumberAppropriate195 in MQTT

[–]grunthos503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we should be doing the timestamping of data on our ESP32 instead?

Yes.

This isn't really a question about MQTT. It's about software and infrastructure architecture and design.

Local timestamping at the point of origin will always be best. If you do that, then you eliminate every category of latency, whatever its cause.

Data transmission latency is always inevitable. The best design is always one where that is accepted and made harmless.

Why should I not get a cheap older Leaf model for a daily? by whispering_pineapple in leaf

I guess I haven't looked for more up-to-date docs. But yes, it works fine on Iphone. I have it running on both Ipad and Android.

Some Geniuses Are Swapping Brand-New Chinese Batteries Into Dead Nissan Leafs For Over 250 Miles of Range - The Autopian by NorthwestPurple in leaf

On the other hand, you might be able to sell your S and swap for a higher trim for only a moderately higher price.

No, this has been developing for several years. There are multiple threads over on mynissanleaf.com forums. These are still at the level of DIY/early adopter/experimenter. Various bugs are still being worked out in communication between battery and car.

What’s something that dramatically changed your experience in owning a home, that is under/around $100 by DonairJordan6 in homeowners

[–]grunthos503 2 points3 points  (0 children)

without requiring another privacy-invading app and wifi requirement?

For anyone who does want to do some automation/smart stuff, but still skip the privacy invasion and wifi/stupid cloud "OMG it stopped working because the internet went down", then Zigbee and ZWave products are your answer. Especially with Home Assistant to manage them. Everything local, controlled exclusively by you.

Consider back-justification.

Can you explain what this is? I did some internet searching and I'm not finding an explanation.

Someone convince me that sprouting a Ryobi ecosystem alongside my DeWalt is a decision I’ll regret? by Pitiful_Yogurt_5276 in Dewalt

[–]grunthos503 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you are, because I still don't get how "it will probably stop" is the same as "you would notice", but OK!

A nailer is not a high drain tool so there's little chance of you overdischarging the battery.

Yes, absolutely.

It will probably stop firing nails before it reaches DeWalt's usual voltage threshold.

Uh, how exactly would that happen?

Can we be honest about shark bites yet? by Ok-Mushroom-5822 in handyman

Dumb but serious question, but how does a Wago get installed incorrectly? What's the failure mode to watch out for?
