In my opinion, cryptography is so advanced now that any language/alphabet you'd create wouldn't stand up to any real attempts to crack it.

Better to focus on digital encryption and secure communication channels, and other good OSPEC practices.

Because the power dynamic between a 20 year old intern and THE FUCKING PRESIDENT is such that it was essentially rape.

Fwiw I picked up one of those aqara sensors and had trouble with it. It really doesn't like the ceiling fan. Plus I think my bedroom is too small. There's probably a sweet spot in room size. The light level meter worked as expected tho.

I ended up using a pressure pad wired to an aqara leak sensor and it works well. The trick is finding a big enough pad.

Edit: you could also use the states of multiple devices? We almost always use the aforementioned ceiling fan so you could make an automation like "if ceiling fan ON and lights OFF, disable (light on automation)

My closest friends, every time we talk on the phone. My less close friends, not enough.

Ha funny how that works.

I never got into dream journaling but frequent reality checks and practicing meditation was pretty effective for me. 100% of the time when I wake up from a lucid dream I get bad sleep paralysis where I feel like I'm suffocating, so I kinda fell out of the habit.

All of that is sick as hell, and as a fellow home assistant user I respect all the work you must have put into the automation.

For the GameCubes tilted on display, do you run them like that? I feel like it would increase the risk of damage to the discs.

This is stupid for a wide variety of reasons, but one of the more interesting ones is that text is notoriously inconsistent in dreams.

A very common "reality check" to see if you're dreaming is to look at a clock or text, look away, and look back. The time/text will nearly always change.

So explain to me how they expect COMPUTER CODE to work?

Mostly my job. I'm in healthcare and make life or death decisions on a regular basis. Was 28 when I started and am 32 now. I very regularly have the feeling like "who allowed me to get into this position". And lately, I've started teaching which adds a whole other component.

I just did something similar last week. My criteria were 1) small form factor like a Chromebook, 2) not actually a Chromebook, 3) could swap out or install an m.2 SSD.

I ended up getting a harddrive-less old Latitude 3190 for 30$ off eBay, put a 256gb SSD in (had it lying around + that's the max capacity supported I think), and ended up installing fedora KDE. It's not perfect but for the price it's amazing

I think most people will tell you that there's no need to use a VPN with Usenet. I personally do not. However, if one was to put any of the containers behind the VPN, I think that SABnzbd would be the one to do it with.

I'm not a Usenet expert so feel free to correct me.
