Fair point! As far as I can tell, the temp sensors are just beacons - anyone can connect and see that somewhere in your house it’s 72 °F, but who cares ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you’re running on a Raspberry Pi, you can just use the onboard BT, whose drivers are updated regularly.

ZigBee ones get occasional updates automatically detected through HA, and have to be moved to somewhere near the controller to update. I assume, as temperature and humidity sensing hasn’t changed, that these are security patches.

BT ones get no updates, which either means their security goes unpatched, or it really doesn’t matter when all they do is shout out measurements into the void.

Of course! From an end-user the experience between Bluetooth and ZigBee sensors is basically indistinguishable, except for range.

I have a detached garage, on the opposite end of my property from my HA controller, so the Bluetooth sensor out there specifically was a little flaky. The BT sensor is rated for ~160 ft but realistically it’s 50-100 ft if your home has walls.

Swapping that one sensor to ZigBee so it could tie into my mesh network solved the problem. All other BT sensors have had zero issues, and their AA batteries unsurprisingly last longer than the 3R ZigBee AAAs, but both last at least 6mo.

Some Shelly devices can be used as “Bluetooth repeaters” but I’m unsure of the specifics of how that works.

If the screen isn’t important, Third Reality makes a slightly cheaper version with no screen that also takes AAA - conveniently on sale now

I have a mix of those and an old version of these Govee Bluetooth sensors that are also fully offline, take AA batteries, and pair well with HA

Not strictly ZigBee, but cheaper, just as accurate as the 3R, and fully offline

Beginner question here - does HA even take sub-second polling?

This is the Spotify/Apple Music/etc model and the reason why music piracy is practically dead (yes, I know there are a few sites still going).

These services are doing their best to find ways to push people back to piracy but for now they keep it at bay through competition to provide better service.

If there was a catchall video streaming service where all publishers released and got a cut of their plays it would be game over for piracy. Fortunately that’ll never happen.

I don’t hate it, but I would REALLY like to be able to move those buttons around. Refresh, share, and forward are hands-down my most used buttons. Having to chase them up feels tedious.

Similarly sign in (or, I’m guessing account once you do sign in) does not need that much real estate.

Finally I’d love to swap Passwords with a shortcut to my password manager of choice (in my case, Bitwarden)

I appreciate the more modern take, but I think it could use some refinement or customization options, similar to dragging things around your toolbar in FF desktop.

In defense of Mozilla on this one, the new tab button has been in tabs for years now, and it kinda makes sense to be there.

If they’re trying to streamline menus, getting rid of a redundant button is a good start.

With 99+% of hashes matching?

Whatever the issue, theres good odds that the pieces with matching hashes are perfectly fine and the <1% of pieces with errors OPs bittorrent client can and did replace, so now the files are identical to source and good to go!

If you checked the torrent file and it’s showing 99+% that means you almost certainly have the right file but some minute piece of metadata is off. Good news is now you only have to snag ~1% of that file from the seeders that pop in an out and you’ll be set.

Looks like exactly the kind of thing I’ve been looking for - a clean and easy to use SSH manager!

One question: how are SSH credentials stored? Is there any option for password protection?

And one feature request: as a long time MobaXterm user on Windows, one feature I’ve yet to see in a Linux SSH utility is the “multi-execution” mode which let’s you send commands to multiple terminals at once.

Pizza’s core implementation is in C though. It’s just a fancy way to call C libraries.

Today I learned pepperoni is a C library.

Tell me more about these cow orks.

On what exactly? If you work for a 3-letter government agency and your laptop was a gift from your new friend Sergei Notaspy who you met on vacation in Moscow?

Plenty of options out there both chromium and non-chromium based, no excuse in my book!

People still raw dog the internet without ad blockers in the year of our lord 2025?

I opened it and saw precisely 0 ads (aside from the article itself trying to sell me DK) on FF for Android.

LMAO at the irony of YouTube taking a stand against bot scraping as if that isn’t Google’s entire business model.

Now introducing Tyson’s CEO: Cthulhu.

People aren’t stupid and if you misrepresent the facts, no one will believe anything else you’re saying no matter how emotional you are when misrepresenting the facts.

Like, say, if you were to imply that anything less than the vast overwhelming majority of all meat consumed comes from factory farms? Ignorance is bliss I suppose…

IDK, I am not a psychiatrist, I suggest you talk to one though. Could be life changing.

I’m thinking the best fix here may be to see a psychiatrist, get a diagnosis, and some medication. Then close the tabs.
