That's not correct. The expression refers to the shards of broken glass after the Nazis destroyed the windows of Jewish stores and homes; among many other atrocities, like killing over a hundred Jewish people.
Which is why we don't use the expression any more and refer to these events as the November pogroms instead, because that better conveys the scope.
HAproxy is good at what it does but it's only good at proxying and simple rules. For the most part, it's used as a load balancer and router and doesn't really process the requests itself.
To add something here: HAProxy's ACLs are more powerful than anything nginx, Apache or even Envoy can do. Of course HAProxy is not a web server but "just" a reverse proxy that speaks HTTP (and TCP) but what you can do with its ACLs is often extremely impressive in its simplicity and elegance. A single-line ACL in HAProxy would require loading additional modules in nginx and writing a screenful of configuration directives. Though the average self-hoster will probably never need any of the power HAProxy offers.
In the past 20 years I have professionally used all four of these as web servers and/or reverse proxies and I am pretty confident that HAProxy beats all others when it comes to request processing. Though Envoy might be getting there.
The ID on the phone thing is weird. Like I’m gonna give my phone to a cop when they ask for my ID.
You don't do that. You present the cop a QR code generated on the fly by the ID app when selecting "show ID" (or driver's licence, in our country) that they then scan with their equivalent app or device. You don't physically give them the phone. At least that's the idea.
Like in many countries (traffic or street) cops here barely have a high school education and it's not unusual for them to be too stupid to be able to scan a QR code. So carrying your plastic cards with you is prudent.
In case you didn't know, Münecat recently uploaded a three-hour video debunking evolutionary psychology: https://youtu.be/31e0RcImReY
I figure the overlap between hbomberguy and münecat viewers in the Venn diagram is basically a circle, so that should help if you have an hbomberguy craving.
This is bewildering. Are you really subject to regulations that forbid you from storing and using rain water as you see fit? Because you must buy water from a third party?
Is there a reason behind this other than capitalism?
Don't get me started or I will go on about this in extreme nerdy detail from personal experience.
Please do! I am just starting with some gardening and haven't much experience yet.
But what can it do more easily than an mid 20th century home can do?
One word: Automations. Everything from lights to irrigation, HVAC to surveillance cameras, fishtanks to plant monitoring, managed by a single, extensible open source platform, hosted locally in your own home.
Of course that is not trivial. If you don't see your smart home as a hobby you enjoy putting time and effort into then the smart home scene is not for you, especially not Home Assistant.
Sounds like you are in a fine place with your home, so you are probably not the target audience here.
With plugins you mean add-ons like Z2M, Mosquitto or VSCode Server, right?
The reveal will be interesting 🙂
I wonder what his big ZigBee issue was that took him months to solve.
From the vague description it could be that his ZigBee stick was plugged directly into the USB port instead of using a USB extension cable, thus subjecting the ZigBee stick to all sorts of RF interference from the motherboard.
Or maybe the USB pass-through to the home assistant VM was wonky?
Edit: he talks about getting 30$ worth of hardware to fix the issue so it is probably not just a USB extension cable 🤔
I can never understand that argument (not even going into the fact that it is the IDF that is committing genocide in Gaza, not Biden or any other western leader). Do these people believe Trump would stop supporting Israel? Stop sending weapons and funding that genocidal war? That's laughable and I can only assume it is a bad faith argument employed to convince potential democratic voters to abstain, thus strengthening Trump. Because nobody can be that aggressively naïve, right?
Back in my day we called that Programming by Coincidence.
