  Why are fruit special though? Leaves and roots are also part of a plant, so why would a tomato not be a vegetable, but lettuce (leaf) and carrot (root) get exemptions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly Bizarre⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What exactly is a vegetable, by your definition?

  As others point out, vegetable is a culinary term; fruit is a botanical and culinary term.

  (I’m a big Immich fan, and I’m taking and sharing photos more than ever before, in part because Immich is awesome, self hosted, and open source [the other part is that I have kids now so I’m taking way more photos that grandparents want to see].)

  On low end CPUs you can max out the CPU before maxing out network—if you want to get fancy, you can use rsync over an unencrypted remote shell like rsh, but I would only do this if the computers were directly connected to each other by one Ethernet cable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure I agree.

  First, stocks tend to be highly correlated with “the market” (see financial “β”/“beta coefficient”). For example, look at, say, The Home Depot or Ford Motors. From January 2000 to January 2003 (spanning the dot com bubble) they each lost about a third of their value, yet these are not “dot com”-centric companies.

  Second, the promise of AI is that it will help every company that has desk jobs. So every company has this expectation now priced into their stock, and if the bottom falls out, well…

  Not an analyst/I don’t pick stocks, but just my 2¢.

  If you’re running it via docker compose it’s trivial to upgrade, and there are no breaking changes. Pull, down, up, you’re done.

  Frigate is pretty good, too. I’ve only been running it for a few months but I’m very happy with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich mobile app sync V2⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Though, technically that leaves you more at risk of ransomeware or something that overwrites your data.

  I rsync as well, but use snapshotting on the remote drives. So, a bad rsync would suck but shouldn’t really result in data loss. Ransomware on my local+remote server would of course be very bad…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich mobile app sync V2⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do something similar — I have a raspberry pi and a HD, with daily rsync and snapshots (monthly retained indefinitely, weekly retained for a month, daily retained for a week). It’s at family’s house, connected to my home via WireGuard via a VPS. Tailscale (or anything really) would also work here.

  It’s a great setup! Just have some watchdog reboot if it can’t talk to home (a simple cronjob with ping -c1 home.lan || reboot or similar).

  Even our “slow” 35Mbps upload speed is way more than enough for incremental rsyncs of my Immich library. The initial sync was done in person, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich mobile app sync V2⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got one from goHardDrive on eBay (link. It was cheap enough, looks flawless, and knock on wood has been working fine.

  Googling around and others seemed to think they’re reputable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve honestly never understood people who feel the need to “replace” Spotify. … Spotify has never made sense for my use-case.

  I don’t know how to say this, but…you have extremely uncommon use-cases:

  …during those times, my phone is either fully turned off (so I’ll use an MP3 player), or it’s in Airplane Mode.

  Many people listen to music on stereos and don’t necessarily want a device plugged in, so

  I just download the music I like to my device and listen to it via VLC.

  either doesn’t work or is substantially less convenient than e.g. casting from a phone.

  Not hating on your setup at all, but it’s very niche, in my experience.

  The think the objection is that this is specifically targeted at women, and it’s something that someone might be self conscious about.

  “Free coffee to shortest/tallest/skinniest/fattest man” would be also be offensive IMHO, because it’s singling out people for a trait for which they maybe don’t want to be singled out.

  Crude humor is great, if all parties are in on the joke; I believe the point that parent was making was that all parties are not necessarily in on the joke.

  Maybe in the before times, but with the LA residents’ response to the fascist in chief, I think most of us in San Francisco are honored to share the state, and be confused with, Angelenos.

  Just keep the Dodger’s in SoCal. This is the Giants’ city.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physicists Create First-Ever Antimatter Qubit, Making the Quantum World Even Weirder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your numbers seem reasonable — more intuitive for me to work in terms of pressure. Atmosphere is (roughly) 1e3 Torr, good UHV can be around 1e-10, so that’s 13 orders of magnitude, which is (roughly) the same difference that you calculated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Physicists Create First-Ever Antimatter Qubit, Making the Quantum World Even Weirder⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aluminum foil is very common in physics labs. And a main use for it is “baking”! To get ultra high vacuum (UHV)* you generally need to “bake out” your chamber while you pump down.

  Sadly, it’s usually not food grade aluminum foil, as that can contain oils, and oils and vacuum are generally a big no-no.

  *Just how good is UHV? Roughly: I live in San Francisco, which is ~7 miles by ~7 miles (~11km). Imagine you raise that by another 7 miles to make a cube. Now, evacuate every last molecule of gas out of it. Now take a family sedan’s trunk, fill it with 1 atmosphere of gas, and release that into the 7 mile cube. That’s roughly UHV pressure.

  My understanding was that gut bacteria play a pretty crucial (beneficial) role in overall health, not to mention the whole gut-brain stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My reason for wanting HomeAssistant and a locked down VLAN...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  ZigBee router thing:

  I’ve been happy with the SMLIGHT SLZB-06M. You can easily flash firmware, and it has PoE which was important for me. I believe it also supports Thread, but I haven’t tried this yet (and I’m not sure if it supports it at the same time as Zigbee).

  Zigbee smart plugs from Third Reality have been pretty solid in my experience, and they report power usage.

  For circuit breaker level monitoring, I have an Emporia Vue2. I have it running esphome, completely local — unfortunately this requires some simple soldering and flashing, so it’s not turnkey. But it’s been rock solid ever since flashing it. (Process is well documented online.)

  I’ve had decent luck with cheap wifi Matter bulbs, but provisioning them is finicky, and sometimes they just crap out and need to be power cycled; Zigbee bulbs (e.g., Ikea) have generally been reliable, though sometimes I’ve had difficulty pairing them initially. After power cycling a Matter WiFi bulb, it takes a while for it to respond to Home Assistant; Zigbee bulbs generally respond as soon as you power them on.

  I have a wired smart light switch from TP-Link/Kasa (KS205), and it’s been completely hassle free (and totally local — Matter over wifi). The Kasa smart switch dongles I have work flawlessly but need proprietary pairing, and I’m afraid to update firmware in case they lose local support.

  Good luck! Fun adventure :)
