Haha no way. I’ll give this a watch after work

Oh i can definitely see custom browsers being useful in that area. I remember the JavaScript navigator properties were always such a PITA as there was nothing you could really do to get around what they exposed

Same tbh

Seconded. The more people we get on listenbrainz, the better.

I have Multi-Scrobbler set up and scrobble all of my listens to it. Hoping that more people do as well because I want better recommendations for some of my niche listens!!!

I thought funkwhale got abandoned

Edit: I was wrong https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale

I could have sworn that someone told me it got shut down.

Can it run doom?

During my first (shitty) job as a dev outta school, they had me writing scrapers. I was actually able to subvert it pretty easily using this package that doesn’t appear to be maintained anymore https://github.com/VeNoMouS/cloudscraper

Was pretty surprised to learn that, at the time, they were only checking if JS was enabled, especially since CF is the gold standard for this sort of stuff. I’m sure this has changed?

Small companies use CF as well. It really is one of the best ways to prevent all sorts of bad actors

Thanks for sharing!

Unsure why you were downvoted. This is true

There is a fork that is available on the izzyondroid repo

Hmm that aquarium chiller solution is interesting to me. I’d like to wire it up to home assistant, so I could automate it. Wonder if there are any that I could control with an IR blaster?

Would miss out on some of the fun data you get from the complete solution though.

I also saw there was some firmware available for the complete solution, for local control. But unsure if I can realistically justify that large of a purchase while relying on a project that may lose support.

I’m aware of the bed jet, but it doesn’t seem as useful as it just pushes air, so if your room is already hot you are out of luck.

A “jack barker” 🤣

Oooh, I will be setting this up tonight! Thanks!

I used to get a lot of merge conflicts working with obsidian and syncthing, as I’d edit on my phone and my computer(s).

Honestly started considering just spinning up a git repo, but knowing me I’d forget to commit lol

Lol, my girlfriend just had all of her sideloaded books removed from her kindle today. She just opened her kindle and they were gone

Huh this is news to me. Wonder why dd has been the defacto standard in guides everywhere for the past 15-20+ years

Notably, this device-linking concept of operations has proven to be a low-signature form of initial access due to the lack of centralized, technology-driven detections and defenses that can be used to monitor for account compromise via newly linked devices; when successful, there is a high risk that a compromise can go unnoticed for extended periods of time.

Well, hopefully that gets fixed soon.

Here ya go
