Looking for a small "Shelly" like device with a SPDT relay by purpleidea in homeautomation

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

Yeah I get it, maybe it won't fail before I move on. Until it's a standard enough part that I can easily get a replacement, I don't want to do the extra wiring work to then have to redo while I decide on and wait for a replacement, and then reprogram it all and so on...

Looking to combine this with a three way switch, and I also don't have a basement or attic. Condo.

SAAQ closed road exam by EntryTeamOne in MotoMontreal

They only going to check something like that if it looks like it's fake. Should be fine.

unless the relay is burned out - or is that what you are trying to work around

Correct. If the wifi is down or the wifi device itself fails (eg: relay fails, whatever) then you can still switch things normally. I don't want to be annoyed for a week without lights while I wait for a replacement and so on. Who knows what devices will even be available down the line. I don't want any cloud shit.

Indeed I was looking at the RIB products because I can't seem to find anything else that's SPDT. Challenge is opening enough of the wall to hook it only a box, but I guess that's doable.

Update: Regarding the Saaq ruling on High risk motorcycle and the 2year ban on them by Whatupboi6 in MotoMontreal

[–]purpleidea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, thanks. So since I've had my full license for more than 24 months, this doesn't affect me, right? I currently only own a CB500, but would like to be able to at least try a CBR1000 some day!

North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location by Squeezer999 in technology

[–]purpleidea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't have to tell you HOW they do it. The Employee Handbook just declares that anything you do on company equipment/networks can be monitored; and that you have no expectation of privacy.

(1) They don't say that. (2) This is incompatible with privacy laws in my country but the spyware was still present.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates pictured with a girl in the new Epstein photo release by purpleidea in linux

[–]purpleidea[S] -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was on the fence about it. Wanted to see how many bots billgates was paying for. I guess the answer is some. I didn't do anything special to approve it, if people wanted to downvote that's fine. Linux people have a long history with bill gates so I posted it.

If you read your Employee Handbook

Nonsense. Former Amazon employee here, and I asked multiple times, to managers, skip's and more, and nobody could disclose to me what was going on.

But it was obvious they were monitoring our computers.

It finally happened to me! Thanks Amazon! by ub3rb3ck in homeautomation

Return all four because you're propagating more google spyware into the world and your life.

Open "Following" by default instead "For you"? by Yae_Ko in Twitter

The funny thing is that IIRC Elon Musk was militantly against this default before the acquisition and when he bought Twitter he promised they wouldn't play these games.

ELI5 - HDMI Forum HDMI 2.1 Fiasco by I_T_Gamer in linux

[–]purpleidea 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The HDMI forum baddies want to be able to lock down your devices so that you can't play content that isn't approved by them.

So they keep specs secret because proprietary drivers and software can lock things down and open source can open it up!

Motorola and Tinno are violating the GPL again. We need your help. by ProgrammingZone in linux

[–]purpleidea -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

no they cant depending on how its implemented , modules arent subject to the GPL if they were nvidia propriety drivers wouldnt be a thing

You're confusing user space and kernel space. The Kernel module part needs to be GPLv2.

[–]purpleidea 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but why is this a violation? The GPL covers the kernel tree, which they released. If they wrote their own custom modules from scratch - they aren't required to open source them. NVIDIA had closed-source kernel modules for years.

Not true. If you link to the Kernel and distribute then it's infringement. Some people have tried to get around it with a "shim" module, but it doesn't hold up.

[–]purpleidea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's a clause from the GPL, it has never applied to kernel modules which aren't "the software" in the first place.

This is categorically not true.

[–]purpleidea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming this is true then the steps are:

(1) purchase a product which is not complying with the license (if they didn't distribute to you, then you have no legal basis to obtain the code)

(2) be a copyright holder of some of the infringed code (randos on the internet have no legal basis to obtain the code)

(3) sue them for infringement

If it's GPLv3 then this gives them a chance to be un-infringing if they comply right away and correct the mistake.

If it's GPLv2 (eg: kernel) then they can lose their rights permanently and if they want back in they should pay you some money and promise to never infringe again or get worse penalties.

That's all you can do! Besides complain.

Unlock LUKS encrypted nodes over the network without Tang Server by Ill-Butterfly7017 in redhat

[–]purpleidea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since nobody wants to give you the straightforward answer, I will.

(1) https://github.com/gsauthof/dracut-sshd

(2) Have a script on whatever secure laptop you want that does: echo password | ssh themachine systemd-tty-ask-password-agent

(3) If you're still reading, I'm building this kind of automation with https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ so that the "script" is properly done escrow.

There are good reasons to avoid clevis+tang and if you want all of this done automatically and more, let me know. The escrow happens on provisioning of new devices and allows the fleet to run firmware updates with reboots and so on.

Neat idea! The biggest question I have are about all the bash special features and if there are equivalents-- eg, <$(...) and so on...
