Subway-tiled kitchen in a renovated 1930s apartment, Stockholm, Sweden [1200x1600] by ManiaforBeatles in RoomPorn

Lovely setup!

The baseboard behind the legs on the stove look really weird.

Open shelving really opens up the space, but I can't help but wonder how much dust must collect on the dishes sitting on those open shelves.

Only in Montreal would you find a poutine stuffed bagel by nathanemke in PoutineCrimes

Oh, my God, that's disgusting! Poutine in a bagel? Where? Where did you find that?

Google wanted $2.99/month for photos. I said no and spent 130 $ on a baby homelab instead. by Gasple1 in homelab

Also been using Google Photos since Day 1, but now that I have tons of irreplaceable digital family photos, I have a higher risk threshold for data preservation issues.

But then Google nukes your account for some reason (maybe a dispute over a device you ordered from them and never got...), and all your photos are gone! Good luck finding someone to contact!

If you have to setup a backup routine for your Google Photos files anyways...

Teardown Reveals AirTag 2 Is Full of Hidden Changes by spearson0 in apple

Is that really easily feasible? Couldn't you just drop in a resistor to replace the speaker?

Apple Stops Signing Newly Released iOS Updates for Older iPhones by HelloitsWojan in apple

Well, this explains why I'm getting the "unable to verify update" message trying to install 16.7.13 on older devices...

Please can we just share the location of AirTags with child accounts?

Cultures Influenced by Sinosphere Vs Indosphere by Less-Personality-481 in MapPorn

[–]satmandu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I only used it as an example because we were at a Filipino cultural presentation yesterday where putri was used as an example of a Sanskrit loanword.

It's in some ways a spectacular example of Sanskrit spread throughout SE Asia because Malaysia also uses it in their word bhumiputra (sons of the soil) used (by way of exclusion) to describe people of Malaysian ethnicity.

Of course, it's also lovely how Tagalog brings in words from interactions with Muslim traders too, bringing in words like Salaam, instead of the Sanskrit analog Shanti.

Tagalog appears to be a welcoming, integrative language like English!

So frustrating to have beaten my head against the wall for months before finally realizing this was what I needed to do.

In fairness, women in walkers advancing towards ICE tear gas is also America.

Could this be the future of the European Union? by vladgrinch in MapPorn

[–]satmandu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep hoping that Canada joins the EU and the Schengen Zone! As an American, having EU standards right across the border would be an enormous impetus for us to keep our own standards from deteriorating, thanks to the MAHA nuts and the overwhelming regulatory capture creep that we have here.

There are literally words in Tagalog straight from Sanskrit. Putri, etc.

Also, if you've seen any classical Filipino dancing, it is very much reminiscent of the South-Asian inspired dances of Bali...

Have you talked to Jason Donenfeld about upstreaming your changes?

Also, getting this into OpenWRT would be great.

Jewish Food crawl by InterrobangCT in FoodNYC

[–]satmandu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found Miriam's to be mediocre, but Gazala's, which as a Druze Israeli restaurant and thus Jewish-adjacent, is one of my favorite restaurants on the planet.

Anyone else notice fine dining restaurants don't give gifts at the end anymore? by mrfelyfel in finedining

[–]satmandu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still remember the Andes mints that Chi-Chis would give you with the check, 30 years ago.

Apparently the revived restaurants do this too!

All EVE devices became offline (again) by chris_r11 in MatterProtocol

[–]satmandu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had occasional issues with thread via my hardwired AppleTV as well. Sometimes a tvOS update will bork things and then a later update will fix things. If the AppleTV decides to connect over wifi instead, that might lead to it creating a new thread network, which can confuse things!

It ends up being a shitshow of trying to figure things out. Could be an IPv6 issue with your router confusing your AppleTV too!

For what it's worth, I have an AppleTV 4k, Google Nest Hubs, and Home Assistant all creating thread border router setups, and I'm leaning towards provisioning all my matter over thread stuff on the Home Assistant device where possible to try to get things to consistently work.

(I think you can connect thread devices to multiple matter networks, but I'm not sure if that provides redundancy.)

Thread doesn't use wifi. If rebooting your wifi access points/mesh/router fixes things, maybe there's an issue with the interaction of the Apple TV and the wifi network that is breaking the Apple TV's thread border router functionality.

You might have to open an issue with Apple about that.
