I keep a very rudimentary README.md with some basic info on the services I run. I should probably set up a personal wiki to keep track of everything better

Perhaps more importantly, I also maintain a document with all the scheduled tasks that run, including what it is, how it’s defined, when it runs, and what device runs it. Really helpful for making sure cron jobs don’t run during a backup script or something

Kinda like how autopilot works in planes

Surely people don’t actually want this, right?

Lemmy taught me a fascist is just anyone we disagree with

FYI, all the certs you generate are public record, so it might be a good idea to use a wildcard route in Caddy. That will make it only generates one cert, so no one can find your internal domain names. Especially if your Caddy instance is accessible from the Internet, and you’re expecting external connections not to be able to access domains with only internal DNS records

Yep!

That would probably work, until Plex decides to introduce another subscription tier on top of the lifetime license, and/or demand more money from its paying users. I could totally see them doing that

I’ll take it if you haven’t already given it away. This Plex change is not great for me, since I’m using remote access. I’ve got a Jellyfin server too, but I’m finding it less convenient for me, mostly for various nitpick reasons

Welcome to big tech 🙂

Haha, okay let’s ignore the fact that Apple Maps shows Taiwan as a province of China, but only for Chinese users. It’s been like that for years, but we don’t care about China or Taiwan, so Apple gets a pass there. We can also ignore the inconvenient fact that Google changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico in Google Maps too. I suppose it doesn’t matter that the US GNIS officially changed the name of the Gulf, and that Apple is simply following its obligations as a mapping provider by respecting a region’s naming preferences for disputed entities (similar to Google). We also don’t care that Apple is clowning on the US by only showing the new name in that region. No, fuck Apple for not taking it upon themselves to decide that the current US administration is illegitimate, and not being petty by refusing to rename a thing in their mapping app

I totally understand complaining about Apple doing this, but to actually boycott them over this is childish. Go ahead and get rid of your iPhones, though. Just don’t forget to boycott Google and Android too. You won’t do it, but to anyone who actually does: respect

Sorry about the rant, but this is just insane to me

Of all the things to maybe boycott Apple for, I think it’s kinda funny that this is where some people draw the line

Haha, I wondered if that was sarcasm. Looks like I’ve been fooled!

Hahaha, the Fediverse has very little tolerance for “wrong” opinions. As if opinions can even be wrong

Also, the obligatory: *dissenting (sorry)

I’m not an automotive engineer, so I don’t have a great understanding of the benefits as perceived by auto manufacturers. Still, here are some benefits as I see it:

• Cheaper (fewer parts)
• More reliable (fewer moving parts, cables strained less frequently, fewer broken door handles)
• Recessed door handles are more aerodynamic (not necessarily an advantage of electronics)
• Remote door release (helps with frozen handles in the cold)
• Cool factor (helps sell cars)
• Flexible design (allows designers to do creative things with door handles/controls)

I don’t see that as a design failure. I actually really like them. Electronic door controls both inside and out, plus a mechanical backup only inside. It’s not a perfect design, but neither are mechanical door controls. It’s also not unique to Tesla: many other cars have electronic door actuators with software locks

There’s nothing special about the Tesla door in that regard, so it is possible for it to become mechanically warped/obstructed in an accident or fire just like any other car door

That is very true, but that doesn’t stop them from going after piracy to protect the revenue

They’re right in front of the window switches, and in my experience, unfamiliar passengers are more likely to use the manual door release than the actual door button. They’re actually too easy to find, in my opinion, but that’s probably for the best

The computers and telemetry systems aren’t near the part that exploded. Assuming they failed at all, they (and the vehicle itself) probably would’ve remained functional for a while after the blast

Obstructing the cabin camera will cause the car to periodically “nag” the driver to apply torque to the steering wheel while the automatic steering system is engaged, depending on the vehicle’s speed
