I haven’t snooped on the traffic but at the very least it was encrypted back to google. And I wouldn’t be surprised if it was also signed somehow.  If it was easy, somebody would’ve already cracked it, especially with all the brouhaha about them dropping support.

I’m already on a bunch of lists. What’s a few more. I should collect them like steam cards.

Honestly I’d pay as much as $50 to unlock my Microsoft sync to CarPlay on my old explorer.

I mean they could just unlock the dang things at let some industrious hacker make them useful again. Hell I’d pay like $10 for a firmware that would work with home assistant.

I wondered how long it would take for that url to pop up. I will never ever rely on any Google product. Except maybe Gmail but I have an alternative plan should that go belly up.

A simple open api could extend the life of these things by decades.

Doesn’t that already happen with infrared radiation?

Isn’t it incredibly difficult to shed heat in space since the only real way to move heat is radiation?

I actually work for a large university in the digital education department. We do have tools like this but I’m pretty sure it’s for python. It could probably be modified for other uses however. I’m a hardware guy or I’d know more about it. If you’re interested I could probably get some more info or get you in touch with the devs that created it. DM if you want some more details.

Sam, I say this will all my heart…

Fuck you very kindly. I’m pretty sure what you do is not “a real job” and should be replaced by AI.

My wife works at a bakery that uses an ordering system called FreshKDS (kitchen display system in case you’re wondering). She always calls it fresh kids.

I’m assuming an upgrade is pretty painless. I guess know what I’m doing at work on Monday.

100% agree. TechnoTim is quite good. Also take a look at NetworkChuck. But be aware, these two will send you down rabbit holes of self-hosting ideas. Awesome rabbit holes, but rabbit holes nonetheless. I’ve spent weeks playing with stuff they’ve suggested. N8n and MCP is my latest obsession.

Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever even come close to being scammed on Craigslist… knock on wood.

Ok I’ll ask. I’ve been doing containers for a while now. My day job is in virtualization/networking/storage so this shouldn’t be that hard. But I just can’t get my head around kubernetes. Between work and home I have enough hardware to choke a robotic horse so that shouldn’t be a problem. Are there any good resources to get me started?

Whew… I was thinking it may have been a requirement now.

Finally… eBay went to shit years ago with scams and Craigslist is a shell of what it once was. Not to mention I cancelled Facebook years ago because … well because Fuck Zuck.

Ok I’m arguing for containers/VMs and granted I do this for a living… I’m a systems architect so I build VMs and containers pretty much all the time time at work… but having just one sorta beefy box at home that I can run lots of different things is the way to go. Plus I like to tinker with things so when I screw something up, I can get back to a known state so much easier.

Just having all these things sandboxed makes it SO much easier.
