I'd like to set-up/buy a weather station, but I want to avoid vendor lock-in. Preferably integrate with home assistant if possible. Any suggestions?


Almost all of the cheap ones broadcast on 433mhz and can be read with a SDR


Thanks!


Great..... another rabbit hole to go down. I have an LG CX and I never knew I could root it. Glad I never gave it internet access.


I control spam by using email aliases. And it makes it easy to track exactly who leaked/sold my email address. But I don't use gmail, as I value my privacy.


I do aliases as well. Never enough. A battle-tested spammer would run s/+[^@]*// on the address before sending.


I have my own domain and just do <website-name>@mydomain.com and redirect everything to the same inbox sorted in folders.

Works pretty well, if any of those addresses gets into some spam list I just block it (hasn't happened yet, though)


Catch-all (*) setup is the best, until a spammer hits a gibberish localpart (on purpose) and your domain cheerfully accepts it.

Don't get me wrong, I use catch-all too (don't tell spammers).


I whitelist using regular expressions (specific prefixes mostly). Gibberish and random localparts are unlikely to match those, it effectively never happens.


Using passmail aliases through protonmail has worked well for me, that way my domain isn't exposed. And everything forwards to one inbox.


Subaddressing != aliasing.


Aliasing !== masked email


Agreed, there are also ways to employ aliases which won't prevent spam, but this still doesn't explain the relation to the subaddressing regex or why other ways or employing aliases (e.g. masking) are never enough.


Many countries (EU, Japan) allow cameras instead of side mirrors, but not the US.


But are they a good idea?

Many countries allow these dumb door handles…


You can use the app to open the door if the handle is frozen. Still not a great design, might as well have a button instead.


The peak of tech jackassery: "We can fix it in software."


See: Boeing 737-MAX + MCAS


In my experience, most passengers unfamiliar with the Tesla Model 3 instinctively use the emergency door release in non-emergency situations, rather than pressing the button as intended.


Absolutely. If you are looking for a new 2FA/TOTP app- Aegis is good, also Proton Authenticator as it's independent of a Proton account.


I wonder what his ISP is, and what speed he has to subscribe to...


>2. Once you have it on disk, how do you get it away from your phone? I've been using Nextcloud for my backups for the past couple years.


I'm currently experimenting with this. It's been hard for me to find a pattern that the ai can't read without making it hard to visually read the plate.
