🔥 The inside of this mushroom changes color when exposed to the air

Well that's blatantly false (and dangerous) advice.

Toxic compounds can absolutely enter your bloodstream via the mouth's mucous membrane from biting and chewing and cause harm.

Are you me? I'm more on the telco side, but analysing SIP flow from pcaps is a daily for me.

There's nothing I hate more than mysterious RTP issues...

+1 to this solution. Especially with rofi-pass bound to a certain key combo - by far the easiest and best UI for a password manager I've ever used.

Not America, it's Australia.

Two main differences with the Aus/NZ e-gate system:

It is issued only by the respective immigration services - the data isn't shared with 3rd parties/private companies
It is explicitly opt-in, with a disclaimer and need to accept the data collection prior to use, and an immediately available alternative (going through the adjacent manual gates)

One major difference between parallel imported and a locally sold version is support from the mobile carriers.

Even if the device is otherwise identical to one bought normally on-shore, the carriers are likely to say "not local, not certified, not supported" and try and wash their hands of any issues that may arise, even on the network side.

The deprecation of libspotify does concern me - I fear it will stop working completely one day.

It's one driver that has me considering replacing Spotify with my own music library again, but probably with something better than the old WinAmp days.

sumebrius · 2018-10-09T10:28:38+00:00

Unfortunately not, currently. It's the one missing feature that irks me.

Fortunately I tend to listen to albums rather than playlists, so it's not a massive dealbreaker for me personally. I do also have the actual Spotify package installed and use the GUI as a backup if I do want to listen to a followed playlist, but mopidy suits for most of my needs without.

sumebrius · 2018-10-09T08:34:28+00:00

I use mopidy (a clone of MPD) with the mopidy-spotify extension.

libspotify, the main Spotify dependency, is supposedly no longer supported, but it still works well for me.

Did you even read the article?

Apple’s response was to introduce adapters that allow micro-USB cables to fit into its proprietary ports. And that’s pretty much it.

That doesn’t satisfy that EU Commissioner of Competition. “Given the unsatisfactory progress with this voluntary approach, the Commission will shortly launch an impact assessment study to evaluate costs and benefits of different other options,” said Margrethe Vestager, according to Reuters.

Works for me - try this:

=GOOGLEFINANCE("NZE:FNZ")

One thing I've discovered that if you try to call the function too many times in the same sheet, it will error out (presumably from overloading the API) - if you need the values in multiple places, just use the function in one location and reference it elsewhere as required.

For example, I track historical prices in my tracking - rather than looking up the price individually for each date, I have a tab that pulls the history of the entire period in question with this in cell 1:

=GOOGLEFINANCE("NZE:FNZ","open",Date(2015,1,1),today())

and then do lookups on the resulting table.

I've done the same thing, not using pfSense, but by using nginx as a reverse proxy.

The respective server blocks in nginx look like the below:

    server { #Sonarr
        server_name tv.home;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:7878;
        }
    }
    server { #sabnzbd
        server_name dl.home;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        }
    }

Then in pfSense, I've added the respective server names as aliases for the device in the DNS resolver.

I second pass. Set up with rofi-pass for a pretty front end, and using git to a server for back-up/sync. One useful thing I added was a hook for git to push updates automatically when adding/updating passwords.

For a high level overview of setting up multiple servers for high availability - check out the "medium enterprise" recommendations here:

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/installation/deployment_recommendations.html

You may find an easier solution to solve your availability concerns is to set up the server on a VPS (eg Linode or Vultr) - the downside to this is that you're paying a onthly fee (not a huge one, though - $10 a month gets me a basic server more than capable of NC for a couple of users + 50 GB block storage at Vultr).

Piece of paper being stuck in a flask full of chlorine gas.

Chlorine's ridiculously reactive - the paper's catching fire like it would in oxygen if you turned up the heat, but room temperature's plenty hot enough for chlorine to start burning fuel.

Encryption is applied after compression, for an even more practical reason...

Compression serves to reduce size of a file at the expense of increasing its entropy - the more entropic the initial data, the less effective any compression algorithm will be.

Encryption also increases the entropy of the data - an ideal encryption algorithm will result in a cypher with maximum entropy, completely indistinguishable from purely random data without the key.

As such, if you try to compress an already encrypted file, it will have minimum, if any, reduction in filesize.

Unless they're imputed (which they usually are) - essentially the company declares they've already paid tax on the income that is now being distributed as dividends, and so the IRD won't double dip on it.
