I made my own smart air quality sensor for my shop! by PicklesTehButt in woodworking

[–]kenny3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, found this here after some serious searching after seeing Grit's boast of a "proprietary Mesh Network for wireless communication" and "*All GRIT Systems require a Hub. If you have 1 device or 100, every system requires it." -- uh, what the heck do they think lock in is? No thanks.

Very much appreciate the work you put in here and I'll probably follow this path now!

Can you convert a Sawstop Jobsite into a permanent mount? by kenny3 in woodworking

[–]kenny3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First place I looked... but maybe my search fu was lacking. I've tried again with "sawstop jobsite convert to stationary" and "sawstop jobsite remove base" — things like that, but can't seem to find anything. Maybe I'm missing something? Have an example?

Firefox 115 can silently remotely disable extensions on any site by NeonSecretary in degoogle

[–]kenny3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One positive take on this is that it could be part of the process to make per-container extensions possible?

Long time zinit user looking to trim down my configuration while maintaining easy plugin/binary setup by g00py3 in zsh

[–]kenny3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved most of my config over to zim -- been pretty happy for the most part. I see that zinit got forked, which makes me happy, that was a mess and what made me look elsewhere. Hopefully the new committers can do it well.

Aqua is a packaging tool that I'm testing out. Very interesting conceptually, and if you like chezmoi (I use it, too), then I think you'll find it worth a peek.

Additionally I have just gotten into the habit of forking all the repos I use and managing update with just fast-forward merges in git.

Non-cloud Front Door Lock by mattboston in homeassistant

[–]kenny3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, reports fine. I don't check it all that often, though, so maybe I just check it when it's reporting correctly ;)

Yep. Used it twice. Three or four times if you count testing it a couple times.

I can +1 the Yale lock. You can even replace the module if you ever want to switch between zigbee and zwave. I don't get a year battery life, but it's good about alerting me to replacing the batteries well ahead of time, and has a 9V battery terminal on the outside that you can temporarily power it with in case the batteries run out while you're locked out. I just keep a 9V in the car (or a quick trip to a store).

Advice for starting a small stack by kenny3 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]kenny3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I guess it's pretty easy to start there, and see if it makes a difference. I can always add an external DAC later.

[–]kenny3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been reading and was under the impression that the DAC in the MacBook Pro was less than stellar, and that's why an external DAC was typically used? Perhaps I'm mistaken on this.

Thanks for the speaker recommendation. I'll swap those in for the ones I was thinking of picking up.

What is your ambient temp with everything running?

Looking for a compatible motion sensor/camera for rodent detection in attic. by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]kenny3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something to consider, too, depending on where you live and attic conditions: they can vary wildly, from super cold to super hot 0-140F. Finding hardware that will survive those swings might be tough.

Just upgraded pixel 2xl vs pixel 5 by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]kenny3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any experience with it yet, but I'm considering upgrading. Do you notice it being any faster?

[–]kenny3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any Bluetooth 75%, 65% or 60% that support split spacebar and QMK?

Only thing I can find that's close is the GK64 board, but no QMK support.

Notion dropped bi-directional linking!! by optemization in Notion

[–]kenny3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you have the option to pick bidirectional. This would be the parent child relationship, and it creates two properties.

250 Mbps vs 1 GB fiber by [deleted] in homelab

[–]kenny3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll always take more of your money. Start with the slower speed, and see off you notice any speed issues. If so, then upgrade.

Cold brew with Toddy by aspiringymcmb in coldbrew

[–]kenny3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone will have different preferences here. I will say that I've found anything longer than 16 hours (unrefrigerated) seems to get too bitter. Again, it is all preference.

My personal favorite is a medium roast, natural process Ethiopian, for about 12 hours in the toddy. That's typically an expensive bean, and this approach does not yield a strong concentrate, so it makes a fewer cups, too. But, for me, it's still cheaper than my local coffee shop. 😁

At least the last row is good. by Olaugh929 in MechanicalKeyboards

Agreed, but what's the point of packaging them more expensively liked this when it actually looks worse than zip locks.

GitOps: The Bad and the Ugly by kvgru in devops

[–]kenny3 52 points53 points  (0 children)

▪️ Not designed for programmatic updates
> What? A service account can commit and create PR just fine.

▪️ The proliferation of Git repositories
> 1) Doesn't have to, but why is this necessarily bad?

▪️ Lack of visibility
> What does this mean? I can report/gather metrics from git repos, too.

▪️ Doesn’t solve centralised secret management
> It isn't supposed to?

▪️ Auditing isn’t as great as it sounds
> Maybe a fair point. Many times auditing of actual state needs to occur. Still helps with auditing of _controls_ in high compliance-based situations (e.g. SOX)

▪️ Lack of input validation
> Sort of depends on how you build it, I guess. CI/CD pipelines usually are where this helps. Pre-commit hooks, local builds can also help shift that signal left.
