I've always found this fascinating about Canada and the US. Both legs are +/- 120V potential to ground, and 240V between them. Here in Australia, everything in my house is 230V between active(hot) and neutral, both for plug in appliances and hard wired stuff like my heat pump (We call it a reverse cycle air conditioner here). Almost every house I've ever lived in has had one.

My old resistive clothes dryer just plugged into a standard 10A outlet like everything else. My current heat pump dryer uses 1/5 the energy though and has already paid for the extra purchase cost over the past three years.

Lemmy as a whole is a community of people who choose it as a nice place to spend time.

Just participate. Or don't. Either is fine.

If you do, be kind. Plenty of people here seeking positive interaction and discussion.

If you don't, make sure you at least up/downvote stuff. It still contributes to this amazing community.

Either way, you are welcome here.

Big purchases must happen on big screen.

I've been running Home Assistant for three years. It's port forwarded on default port 8123 via a reverse proxy in a dedicated VM serving it over HTTPS and is accessible over ipv4 and ipv6. All user accounts have MFA enabled.

I see a notification every time there's a failed login attempt, but every single one is either me or someone in my house. I've never seen a notification for any other attempts from the internet. Not a single one.

Is this normal? Or am I missing something? I expected it to be hammered with random failed logins.

Usually a knock off brand of inferior quality complete with fake magazine or fake website showing an insanely high retail price.

I have a phone running GrapheneOS. What would happen if I gave them my duress PIN at the US border when compelled to do so? If entered, the duress PIN will immediately wipe the phone.

I found a cinder block on the sidewalk, and moved it to the road. Hid behind a tree and watched some poor guy in a van run over it, blowing a front tyre and doing some body damage. Thought it was funny at the time.

Teenage me was an asshole.
