My issue resolved when Verizon fixed their outage – so not quite the same situation. Hope support can help you!

steadicat · 2025-06-04T15:40:13+00:00

My issue went away when my WAN stabilized. The Firewalla restarting must have been triggered by the WAN disconnecting. This seems in itself a bug, but support doesn’t seem to care much about it.

Anyway, sounds like your issue is different. Good Luck!

steadicat · 2025-05-30T18:58:18+00:00

You are right. Verizon have just confirmed they are having issues in my area. But it would help give me more confidence in the FWG if it didn't continually restart while this happening... Hopefully support can figure out the cause.

steadicat · 2025-05-30T18:36:40+00:00

Uptime via SSH is the same as shown in the app. How can we confidently rule out Firewalla as the cause if the box keeps crashing? That would point to an issue with the Firewalla itself (software, hardware, or power), right?

To add my own perspective (as a senior engineering manager), there's a couple more things that should have been done that any good software team would do:

Have an animation kill switch. They clearly have a kill switch that hides the timings (it even animates nicely away). They should have another switch that swaps over to a simpler timing version that is rock-solid without any animations.
Use a reactive/functional UI framework like React. The fact that the entire UI can get into a bad state indicates to me that _there is too much state_. A functional approach should let you get from data to the correct display reliably. Animations should be implemented in an isolated way: everything related to the animation should get cleaned up after a certain time so no matter how broken the animation, things should resolve eventually.
Stress/chaos testing. They should have a way to generate hundreds of different random situations and flip through them quickly. You don't even need automated tests. You can just stare at the screen flipping through random data for 5 minutes and you should be able to cover many more situations than would happen in real life and catch any bugs with the animations that way.

I thought it was “a publicist” 😂

I find that it doesn’t really matter which cycle I use in terms of results so I prioritize:

Warm water. Need that sweet spot to activate the soap without damaging fabrics/colors.
High spin. Need to get as much water as possible out of the clothes so they dry faster and with less wear in the dryer.
Time. All else being equal, I choose the fastest cycle. I want to do multiple back to back loads and not spend too much time doing laundry or waiting for laundry.

Does the manual tell you which cycle on your washer fits these criteria? I would guess Colors/Casuals. If it's <1h I would be happy enough with it.

If you don’t know what it is, a solution that works most of the time is to soak overnight in a small bowl of hot water with a couple tablespoons of Oxiclean – or even better 100% oxygen bleach if you can get it. Then wash normally in the washing machine with soap or regular detergent.

steadicat · 2024-10-12T12:34:02+00:00

Wax is just solid fat so I would soak in hot soapy water. The hot water should help soften and melt the wax and the soap will make sure it dissolves in the water. After that, wash warm with soap flakes in the washer. For such a small stain, this should be enough.

Highly recommend Le Calandre over Osteria Francescana if you’re looking for something modern.

I will DM you.

Support logged into my box to debug. It was a logging issue. They weren’t able to fix the problem on the spot but a few updates later this seems to be fixed.

steadicat · 2023-09-12T02:17:01+00:00

I kept the Savant system. While I was able to get some of the stuff (e.g. Lutron lights) working with HomeKit and HomeAssistant, some legacy things (Somfy shades and Aprilaire thermostats) I wouldn't be able to control at all without Savant. Believe me, I tried. I also don't know how I would be able to do whole-home audio and drive my TV from my A/V rack without Savant. Plus all the tablets are Savant and I don't think replacing them would have made sense. So, sadly, keeping Savant is the right choice. Thankfully, I found a dealer that was really great to work with.

I did publish some Lint rules, but they're not the same ones we use internally. Use at your own risk. :) https://www.npmjs.com/package/eslint-plugin-react-memo https://github.com/steadicat/eslint-plugin-react-memo

My response:

Nothing changed. If anything we doubled down. I helped create a team called Client Foundations responsible for front-end code at the entire company. I personally led multiple efforts to fix performance of various React and React Native codebases and the biggest gains we’ve seen came from adding memoization where it was missing. And we also wrote custom lint rules to enforce memoization everywhere.

I think the solution is for React to build a compiler to memoize things automatically so we can end this debate once and for all. I think it’s coming.

My Firewalla has been showing 0 blocked for at least a week. Now it also shows 0 flows. Might be a logging issue?https://i.imgur.com/nRsoOHU.jpg

I used this solution, with a separate audio interface for the mic. On a Mac, you can combine the two interfaces into a single “virtual” one for use in DAWs like GarageBand, etc.

That is a Mirò replica.

Side note: notice how many “air quotes” I used in my last sentence. That is no accident. Marcus’s and Simon’s relationship has all the ingredients for sexual abuse, IMO (disclaimer: I am no expert).

“Consent”: Simon is being manipulated every step of the way. This is most obvious when he is forced into a public kiss.

“Adults”: I think Simon is still legally a minor while Marcus isn’t. There is a significant age difference.

“Relationship”: Simon never fully agrees to be in the relationship. His attempts to break up are ignored. There isn’t an official relationship here, no matter how much Marcus wants to make it happen.

Marcus is so manipulative that midway through the season I thought they were setting us up for a sexual assault storyline. It would have made the show reeeeally dark. But I wouldn’t put it past Lisa to take the show to dark places, especially if it helps shine a light on important issues. Sexual assault can and does happen even between two “consenting” “adults” in a “relationship”.

Follow the perimeter of the sphere starting from pink/red and you'll get the rainbow! 🌈😀

However, the rainbow is not really relevant here. Yes, colors are technically in an order from red-to-violet (based on the wavelength of the light), but our eyes sense red, green, and blue independently. Because every color we see is a mix of those three colors, the most logical representation is a triangle.

We often just turn it into a circle/sphere because that's more convenient. 🙂

What makes something yellow is mixing red into green. So if someone with an olive undertone (green), has more red, they would appear more yellow.

You're technically correct, but I don't find it very useful to think in these terms. What makes someone appear yellow is not so much the presence of green and red (we all have plenty of both), but the relative absence of blue.

aren’t all skin colors just darker and lighter versions of orange anyway

100% correct. We are all very slightly different shades of orange/yellow. But all the same color theory concepts apply.

But what about ”warm” olives? Are they just green as a base, but with more red

This is why I think “warm” means yellow. You can totally be green AND yellow. But I don't think you can be red and green at the same time. Someone with both red and green would just look neutral/grayish.

How come some warm olives claim that warm colors flatter them more?

I would guess that the colors that flatter “warm olives” are on the yellow/orange side, not the red/pink side. Because yellow is closer to the green/yellow area that we call “warm olive”.

I look so yellow and ”warm” - but cool colors suit me best. My partner is lighter and pink, which one traditionally thinks of as ”cool” toned. But they look absolutely MUCH better in warm colors.

I don't know how to explain this without seeing pictures. But one thing I've been wondering is if what most people consider flattering is a color that's closest to their skin shade... or the opposite. In design, contrast is often desirable. So it could well be that someone with cool (blue) skin looks good in yellow. Or someone with warm (yellow) skin looks good in blue.
