Why would you need a modem and WiFi in a car? I bet it uses cellular data anyway so why not use it directly?

Looks great! What a bummer that images from Pinterest always have such a low resolution though :/

Their website looks pretty sketchy, ngl

If you knew the internet was going to be shutdown, damaged, or colossally enshittified what software would you archive for use locally and use for a neighborhood/town mesh network? Why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Good point! And Docker. Also: Encryption software

As a base: The Linux kernel source, GNU software sources and compiler binaries so I can - in theory - write missing software myself. For convenience probably some stable, offline-installable, ready to use distros.

I would probably also archive sources and binaries of day-to-day software like web-browsers (I might still have an intranet to use), office tools, photo management software, audio/video players and all the codecs, etc.

I think that's a solid starting point but im sure I'm missing something important :D

Nintendo clears up online confusion, confirms physical Switch 2 Edition games come with the original game and next-gen upgrade on the same card in c/nintendo@lemmy.world

[–] abrahambelch@programming.dev 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Games such as The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are getting totally free upgrades, too.

Not sure what upgrade I can expect from Pokémon though. Now we can enjoy 20fps in 4K

Europeans now need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) permit to visit the UK – here’s what to know in c/europe@feddit.org

Okay, will choose another country to visit next then. One of all the fellow EU countries I can freely visit without any sort of visa. The UK needs the EU and shoot's themselves if you ask me

I never came across a single page that didn't render correctly with Gecko - do you have an example?

Question about the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 (programming.dev)

submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by abrahambelch@programming.dev to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

Hello everybody,

Im currently planning on migrating my smart home to Home Assistant and run the HA docker image on my home server.

Most of my devices communicate via Zigbee so I was thinking of getting the Connect ZBT-1.
I also have a few Matter/Thread devices which would be nice to integrate as well, although not necessarily in the initial migration.

I read the ZBT-1 can experimentally be used with Thread as well. Now my question is: Is it possible to buy two devices and connect to Zigbee and Thread devices simultaneously?

Maybe someone has a similar setup and would like to share their experience.

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!

Strategy Pattern in Rust (programming.dev)

Hey there, I'm currently learning Rust (coming from object-oriented and also to some degree functional languages like Kotlin) and have some trouble how to design my software in a Rust-like way. I'm hoping someone could help me out with an explanation here :-)

I just started reading the book in order to get an overview of the language as well.

In OOP languages, I frequently use design patterns such as the Strategy pattern to model interchangeable pieces of logic.

How do I model this in Rust?

My current approach would be to define a trait and write different implementations of it. I would then pass around a boxed trait object (Box<dyn MyTrait>). I often find myself trying to combine this with some poor man's manual dependency injection.

This approach feels very object oriented and not native to the language. Would this be the recommended way of doing things or is there a better approach to take in Rust?

Thanks in advance!
