Dear CEOs, if you’re thinking of paying that protection racket that he is playing you for with these tariffs, do realize that assassinations probably cost less and you’re obligated to your shareholders to spend less money solving problems.

Dox the guilty and they’ll become unhireable.

ParkMobile is yet another service that is nearly unusable because their app assumes that email can be delivered instantly. They don’t even offer a regular password login, just “send a link.”

So how I’ve gotta sit at a parking lot for 10-ish minutes until that email comes in so I can pay to park. What are the chances that the morons behind this decision also time-limit the link for too little time as well?

Perfect. No notes.

Smoke detectors self-expire after 10 years. Ionizing detectors have radioactive Ameriicum-241 in them. They're exceptionally difficult to recycle. It seems like here in SF I have to ship them to the manufacturer, Kidde, who no longer advertises their recycling program.

I wonder how many of them are just dumped into landfill and are causing untold problems.

Perhaps the answer is to collect enough to make my own backyard reactor. Then the gov’t will come clean it up for free.

OK, I think I have my Hue Bridge locked down. It’s on it’s own VLAN that allows mDNS and response to the LAN, but no other networks. I then have an NAT rule to redirect all NTP traffic to my firewall’s NTP server because it only wants to talk to ntp[1-4].aliyun.com (Alibaba’s NTP server in China).

HomeKit works. The Halloween app can talk to it still because that’s local traffic only. The Hue app is broken and I DGAF about that.

Anything I missed?

Signify breaking privacy expectations with the Philips Hue bulbs means that my Halloween display won't happen this year. The app I use for that uses the Hue cloud APIs to control the bulbs.

Anybody got a locally-runnable clone of the Hue APIs that talks to HomeKit or HomeAssistant's REST API behind the scenes?

Really could do without the ads for GitHub Copilot on every code page on GitHub and in the Welcome window in Visual Studio Code.

I won't ever use it so long as it is trained on stolen code.
